RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross is carrying
on a wide program Of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies Of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time TO the general welfare Of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains a GONZALES
cent house at all of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up
and around Parties and picture shows
in the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cenCe comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and help
Ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau Of War Fisk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
triCt Offices the Red Cross worker, act

makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board assists in appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men 1ost"

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
Urited States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
"Fourteenth' Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members OF the American
Red Cross are those citizens of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division OF the parent or
ganizatiOn generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of zap, which came under our
flag as a result OF the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
30,SOS paid up members.
The main object OK this division is
TO give our citizens everywhere the OPP
portunity to participate in the work
OF the organization which stands for
the best national Ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triOtiC, treasure their membership IN
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston OF their citizenship. II is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters Of
this division In Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchurla, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money and millions
OF dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families OF those
who had gone TO war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums of money and
immeasurable personal service TO the
relief OF disaster and disease victims.
The division IS now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans 10 aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for Civ
ing immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.
The Oklahoma miner. [volume] (Krebs, Okla.) 1912-192?, 1920-11-11

needs " the stricken, the organization
set W ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred

test took place on the gym floor at
the Galesburg college.
Bengston who has been under

entire pas week, it is believed
here, eithe was not up to form or
found it necessary to retire from
play last night. Without this strong
player the efficiency Of the team
would have been perceptibly low

been the case.
The final score was % to 10
