Both the government and the
people" said Pershing, ARE prone
to forget the service of veterans
now that the war is over. 1t is
our duty to see that the sick and
disabled no longer remain in need.
Adequate relief legislation must be
passed without further delay.

need aid.

The blame is the whole foolish
