5000 Sick Soldiers Are
 Cooped Up In Fire Traps


 ton-Approximately 5000 American soldeirs who were wounded or who contracted disease during the world war are cooped up in various institutions throughout the United States where they would never have a chance to escape with their lives 1f a confla grafton should occure accord ing to statement made today by Ewing Laporte assistant Secretary or the Treasury, who@as supervisor of the public health service has charge of the treatment of disabled veterans.
 ''The Public Health Service" said Laporte, has only two hospitals which are modern in their equipment and afford ample facilities for treat ment of soldiers. One is located at Johnson City, Tenn, where 1000 tubercular patients are being treated. The other is at Marion, Ind, where 1 900 insane veterans are being cared for"
 More than 13o.ooo American sol diers have been treated by the public health service since the close of hos tilities, Iaporte said. While they have been quartered in some sixty four so-called hospitals scattered throughout the country" he contin- ued the vast majority of these in stitutions are nothing but fire traps remodeled hotels and abandoned bar racks. At the present time the ser vice is rendering aid to some 21,00C diseased and maimed veterans, and this number is being increased by al least 1000, per month.
 Records of the health service, La

porte said, show that one-third of the disabled soldiers returned from Europe were suffering from tubercu- lar affections, one-third from mental and nervous diseases, resulting from shell shock with the remaining cases divided among various other ailments resulting from or aggravated by war service.
 So far no definite action for relief of this condition has been taken by Congress although there has been considerable discussion and criti- cism. The sundry civil appropriation rbill reported tos the Senate, carries an appropriation of s1s,5O0,oOO for the care of disabled soldiers; and the House committee on Public Build lings has reported a measure provid- ing for an appropriation of S15, ,000,- 900 for the same purpose. Appar- ently there is a good chance of this bill becoming a law.
