Red Cross Acts as
Clearing House in
War Risk Cases

At a conference of Representatives
of organizations cooperating with
the bureau OF war risk insurance. Dt
rector r. g. acknowledgements made
known the plans for a nationwide
campaign re.establishing contact be
tween the bureau and former sol
diers, sailors and marines who are
in need of service, to facilitate adj
justment of their allotment and az
lowanco accounts, compensation and
claims and reinstatement of lapsed
or cancelled insurance.
Under the plan, the American Rad
Cross through its home service sec
lions throughout the United States
and its organization in Washington
will act as a clearing house for war
risks matters originating in the co.
operating organizations.
For example, If a former soldier,
sailor or marine asks an ~organiza-
tion Of which he ID d member or
with which he Is acquainted to pre-
sent hts war risk matters to the bu-
In proper form TO enable the
bureau to handle them promptly, hts

vice section OF the Red Cross viii
transmit the matter to its national
organization in Washington and the
Red Cross III Washington, by a unit
form method, will handle the mattcT
directly with the bureaW.
BY reason Of its large organization
IN Washington, the Red Cross ID in
a position for speedy ~Isandling Of
the kreat mass Of detail. 1t Is be-
Iieved that this new plan will, to a
very large extent, prevent duplica.
tiUns and enable the service men,
the cooperating organizations and

correspohdence and to expediate'

those who seek to destroy organized

There will now be heard loud
declamations about the right Of free
speech, the freedom OF the indi

speech IS not guaranteed under any
constitution when employed to over
turn that constitution. Freedom Of
the Individual does not extend to
systematic efforts to foment dlacord

been too much foolish ~toletation
shown anarchists and enemies Of
the government. This is q good time
to establish a system or deportation
