In his work throughout the country
in behalf of discharged. service men,
5 Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant to the
Secretary of War in charge of finding
employment for demObilized soldiers
sailors and marines, has learned that
in many sections people generally do
not know just what the government is
doing to enable men disabled in the
lines of duty to establish themselves in
civil life.
Inasmuch as the government took
these men out of civil life and placed
them in camps and in the trenches
where their disabilities were incurred,
the obligation upon the government to
n-establish them in civil life. is clear.
And it should be understood that those
injured In France are not the only ones
entitled to assistance, for all disabled
service men, whether injured in the
United States or. abroad, are provided
for equally.

civil life, the authorized agency of the
government is the Federal Board of
Vocational Education which is charged
by Congress with the vocational train
ing Of disabled soldiers and the place

able and gainful occupations" after
their discharge from the army.
The government it will be noted not

abling him to assume again with un-
impaired efficiency, the responsible
ties Of life but also assists him in Sc
curing employment at the end of his
period Of training.
