IN BEHALF OF DISABLED MEN
Bentley Post at Cincinnati Regarded
as Model for Systematic
Program for Work.

Robert e. Bentley Post of the Amer
lean Legion at Cincinnati, o., has at
tracted national attention because of
its activities in behalf of sick and dis
abled veterans of the World war. Its
systematic program for work is regard
ed by Legion officials as model to
posts.
The work has been assigned to four
committees: for disqualification and
compensation, hospital entertainment,
sick members and employment.
The disqualification and compensa-
ton committee takes care OF all cases
in which eX-service men seek to obtain
their rights from the government. Its
duties are to direct the applicant to
the proper federal authorities and to
follow up the case. The Red Cross has
aided the post committee by stationing
a worker at the club rooms at all times
to handle emergency cases.
Visits to each Cincinnati hospital
where veterans are lodged are made
at least twice month by the hospital
entertainment committee, which notes
the general condition of the hospitals
and provides entertainments for the
patients.
The sick committee visits all ex-serv-
ice men in their homes as soon as the
cases are brought to the attention of
the post members.
A free employment bureau for all
veterans is operated at post headquar-
tiers by the employment committee.
The Women's Auxiliary of the post
has assumed large share of the work
This organization has general chair
man of hospital work with sub-chair-
man for each hospital.
At the General hospital a complete
dinner Is set once month. Cigarettes,
candy, fruit and cakes are provided
weekly at all hospitals, as are maya
zines and books. At Rockhill the men
were supplied with piano and victrola,
a motion picture protector, knitting
machines, pajamas, sweaters, caps,
socks and other comforts. The Auxil-
larry women have made sheets, pillows
and bed sacks for the patients. Each
man is interviewed at each visit and
personal favors are executed whenever
possible
For the benefit of those men who are
vocationally handicapped the Auxiliary
conducts shop in the post club rooms
where disabled men are employed in
10 1f.aa Of vii,
mat work. The articles are marketed
by the women and the proceeds are
turned over to the veterans.
All Baskets of oX-Service men pass
Ing through Cincinnati have been deco
of Cincinnati men who died in the serv-
ice are visited and sympathy extended.

OUR LATEST SUBMARINE

The submarine S-48 launched at the
yards of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. at
Bridgeport, Conn, few days ago marks
the latest development in submarine con-
struction for the American navy, The
vessel was authorized in the 1916 pro-
gram but the contract was not let until
1919 and as result the craft contains
many improvements over the original
type boat.
The S-48 is 240 feet long and displa es
about 1000 tons The hull is constructed
to withstand the pressure incident to a
submergence of 200 feet and is especially
designed for protection against depth
charges shock. The radio apparatus is
designed to work either submerged or
running on the surface.
The battery will consist of five 21-incn
torpedo tubes, four forward and one aft
and one four-inch gun.

The New Policy in Europe

The new program of the American Red
Cross for its work in Europe has become
effective. From now on its efforts in
the European field will be concentrated
in behalf of sick, underno urished and
neglected children. 1t will provide pri-
marily medical and nursing service,
through small units in many places. 1t
is withdrawing as rapidly as possible
from general relief work, and within a
short time in all proba bility it will have
withdrawn entirely from this field.
The process of shifting from the gen.
eral relief basis to the child welfare unit
system is being expedited with greater
dispatch than was anticipated, in spite
OF the many organization problems that
come with this radical change.
