CARE OF WAR VETERANS
IS PROBLEM TO U. S
Ono of Tragedies OF War Is That OF
Government l.ooking Out for
War Veterans.

WASHINGTON, July S.-On" Of the
tragedies Of war-thc aftermath
which places eX-soldicrs under the
permanent care OF the govcrnmcnt-
is now becoming a pronounced ma
'ionai problem in connection with the
late world war.
Thnusa nds 81 war veterans. many
OF them still in their twcnties. must
bc cared for permanently ~ the
United States government. IL is csti-
mated AT the Bureau of War Risk In
surarcc. These include men who fall
under tho provisions OF tho war risk
act. men who incurred injury or dis
eases during the war. and others who
have become ircapacItatcd outside OF
war service, but whose care Is pro-
Nidcd for by statutes governing the
soldiers homes.
Veterans Of the late war already
are being admitted TO the government
homes for old soldiers. For,y-six
hundred of them were admitted last
year. and it Is estimated that this
year the number Will grow to mt
least 1000. The majority of these
are men entitled 20 government care
under the war rish act--mcn actually
inc1pacltatcd during the war-but
others are taking advantage of their
army service Ia receive government
care. even though their physical
weakness is not associated with the
lighting overseas.
Thus, veteran situation is arising
similar TO that which followed the
Civil War. This has hc"n recognized
by the government and Tn. new hos
pitai facilities now being created will
be established in connection with ex-
istinG soldiers homes
Permanent soldier homes will b..

needs Of the next decade Then the
government Will have institutions
which can he converted into pcrma :
n"nt homes for those who require
them after the need for hospi,aliZa-
ton has passed
How many veterans eventually will
require permanent government care
can be estimated only roughly. The
number viii run into the thousands
me war RISK Bureau, to date, has
provided hospital nccomm odation for
-"'pc" men. But the number is
mounting rapidly and il is estimated
that fully l5o.o0o men Will be hos
pitaliZed by the time the peak is
reached.
The volume of cases swclls as now
applications are received from tu-
bcrruiar and nervous patients. Many
M these cases have not developed ac-
lively until months after the war. but
