Every man who was in the military
or naval service of the United tSates
during the late war, and who on &C
count of such service is not physically
fitted to engage at once in gainful
occupation should at once notify the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance in
Washington, D. C.
Under the law this bureau is
charged with providing for service
men discharged because Of disability
incurred in active service in the line
of duty, compensation and free med
ical treatment until such time as they
are restored to physical fitness. Dur
ing the summer Of 1918 there was
a general combing out Of the military
training camps of the country in an
effort to bring up the standard OF
physical fitness, and many men dis
charged at that time may be un-
aware of their rights under an act of
congress to compensation for disabil-
ity and medical attention and hos
pital treatment where necessary. All
cases of this or a like nature should
be brought Immediately to the atten-
tion of the Bureau Of War Risk In
