The Treatment of Crippled Soldiers

1t is most gratifying to find that
through publicity a state of affairs at
Walter Reed Hospital, which gave a
severe shock TO the public on dis
closure, has been corrected. Arrange
ments have been made for caring for
the laundry work of men crippled in
the war and who through lack of suit
able provision were compelled to wash
their own clothing.
1t thus appears that knowledge of
the facts through publicity is all that
is necessary to work a cure for eondi-
tions that demand correction. This
matter could be cured in several diff
ferent ways. 1t could be reached
through a relaxation of the full and
unduly early application of military
law to recovering wounded soldiers.
If legislation should have been neces-
sary to effect an adjustment Congress,
upon attention being called to the mat
ter, would undoubtedly have caused
modification of the regulations to that
end. If such condition could be cor
rected only through outside interven-
tion ready response was assured as The
proposed fund demonstrates. Perhaps
the most natural way to reach this
condition was through application of
the Red Cross activities and this has
been assured.
Neither of the two last suggested
methods involves any thought of char
ity. The people gave millions to the
Red Cross as a part of their obliga-
tion properly to care for the soldiers
in camp and in the field, and in the
hospitals should they become inca
paeitated. 1t has been the pleasant
duty of the Red Cross to carry this
obligation into effect.
The lesson of this matter is that
military laws applicable to soldiers in
camp and field should not be too quick
ly applied to men who have been
wounded in service. We as . nation
have been doing more than any other
country in the care of our fighting
soldiers and our wounded men. The
Walter Reed Hospital has been doing
q work on great scale of which Wash
ington and the nation are proud. All
that is necessary to insure satisfactory
results is thorough knowledge of facts
of any incidental and individual evils
to bring about cure in line with the
reconstruction system that promises to
restore to large measure Of activity
those who have been crippled.
The whole system should be made
consistent by ironing discrepancies and
inequalities. We are welcoming home
our soldiers with honors. These men
who have been wounded deserve par
ticular warmth of welcome and par
ticular care, and it is part of our well
come to them to keep them from the
hardships of indiscriminate applica-
tons Of the military law. This is not
charity, but part Of the consideration
due to them by a grateful people.
