The immediate purpose of the cam
paign is to advise all eX-service per-
sons of their rights under the War
Risk Insurance Act; to assist those
disabled in securing compensate
medical treatment and hospital care,
to inform and assist all claimants re
garidng the procedure necessary IN

The Bureau Of War RISK stresses the
point that while this is TO be in every
sense "clean-up' campaign it is not
"last call" it particularly desires
that no impression be given that men
must submit their claims now or be
too late for further consideration, The
present campaign is an effort to meet
all outstanding claims. 1t is expected
that many claims may develop in the
