THE DISABLED SOLDIERS.

Usually wars have produced a great
body, of helpless and pathetic cripples,
whose lives have been wrecked and the
majority of whom were dependents.
The Government plans for reed
ucating the soldiers crippled in the
late War for business and industrial
But the Government, like other large
bodies, moves very, very slowly. The
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation is coming in for sharp criti-
cism for alleged red tape methods and
delays in paying this debt of honor
and patriotic duty.
If, as claimed, an interval of six or
more months usually takes place after
a man is accepted for such training
before he can begin work, there is a
deplorable lack of business system.
1t is unfair to relatives who have to
support man who gave his all to
his country. Yet he is put off from
month to month as if he were an
undeserving beggar. 1t is a poor re-
ward for patriotism and the sight is
not one to thrill the youth of the land
with zeal in the service of their coun-
try.
A helpless man under. such circum-
stances quickly gets into a hopeless
frame of mind and every weeks de-
lay makes it harder for him to take
up his new task of training. With
cut this re-education a crippled man
will be handicapped for life and he
may lose heart and go to pieces in
dependency and failure. The Ameri-
can people feel intensely interested in
the welfare of these men. They will
go the limit to set them on their feet
in business or industry.

Solution of the problem resolves it.
self in the last analysis into terms OF
money. Unless the churches are pre-
pared to expend more than 81 for
every $40 appropriated for education
by the state solution of the problem
is indefinitely postponed if not made
impossible. This proportion is caused
by the fact that the churches concen-
trate almost exclusively upon the col
leges and universities, upon the thirty
eight students who enter college from
the 1000 who are received into the che
mentary schools. And Of the thirty
eight only the fourteen who obtain
their degrees receive any prolonged
training.
It has been demonstrated that what
a people would accomplish in their ma
tional life they must first put in the
minds and hearts of their youth in the
schools. That the first exponent of
of education does not alter the fact.
The colonial colleges were quite as
successful in producing men true to
type as were the German educational
institutions prior TO 1914. VIII the
church colleges and universities of to-
day prove as successful?
The thirty denominations which have
created the Interchurch World Move

Only foreign missions and home mis-

A WAY TO BEAT H. C. L.

One way of reducing the cost of
living is open to every man, woman
and child who can get the use of an
idle plot of ground. That way lies
through the planting and cultivation
of home garden-a thrift garden.
War gardens played their part in the
great mobilization of resources in
war time-thrift gardens now have
thefr. own big job in helping house
holds to feed themselves.
The reasons for thrift gardens are

COUNTY QUOTAS
ARE Announced
Salvation Army Appeal For Home
Service Funds Start In
Maryland Monday.

The Salvation Army appeal for
funds with which to carry on its
home service here in Maryland, will
be made next Monday, May II. Ev-
I cry county in the State has been or
+ ganized and has it's county chairman,
! treasurer, teams and workers, all on
their toes and ready to put the ap-
peal across.
Honorable Franklin K Lane, for
/ mer Secretary of the Interior, is
chairman of the national appeal
committee. In Maryland Governor
Richie is state chairman for the mems
/ division, with Mrs. J. Charles Lintht-
| cum, chairman of the women's Sec
ton.
| Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop John Gard
ner Murray, General John J. Perish
1 ing, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, the
Secretary of War, Newton d. Baker,
and the Secretary of the Navy, Jo-
sephius Daniels, are among the thou
sands Of prominent men of the coun-
/ try who have heartily endorsed the
| Salvation Army and who ask the peo-
pie of the country to give as freely to
| this appeal as the Salvatfonists have
given of. the time and labors, both be-
fore, during and after the war.
The Maryland General Assembly, at
its session this year, passed resolu-
lions endorsing the Salvation Army's
Z ct h.
The quotas asked of the different
counties in Maryland are as follows:
AIlegany (Cumberland), $33,600
(Bldg); (Frostburg), $4,150.

Caroline, $1,000.

Salvation Army officials hope not
only to continue all their present hui
manitarian activities, but to widen the
scope of many of them. If the answer
falls short, the plans for expansion and
extension must be abandoned and the
present work perhaps curtailed.
Only small portion of the Army's
work is self-supporting. The rescue
homes for unfortunate women; the
hospitals, including the maternity hos
pitfalls which care for thousands of
mothers of the poorer classes; the
slum settlements which are such
bright spots in the squaIor of the tene-
ment districts, demand constant fnan-
cial aid The fresh air camps, the
prison work, and the founding homes
are supported wholly from the dOue
Service fund. The evangelical work,
the bureaus which yearly give away
great amounts Of food clothing and
supplies to those in dire need. as well
as many other activities and institu-
tions of the Salvationists. derive their
means of existence from the same
source.
The name of the fund indicates the
purpose for which subscriptions are
sought 1t is to make possible the
Home Service of'the Army in America,
to insure the continuation of its Iabors
b the communities Of America.
