United States has been more liberal
than any other nation in its provisions
for the disabled soldiers, but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available In spite of the
benefit of the experience Of other
nations in the regent war and the ex-
perience of this nation In previous
wars.
''In the rehabilitation Of a disabled
inan there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. "The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
ous needs Of one man, not Of three
different men or Of one man at three
different times. 1t makes three prob
lens out of what really Is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
1t has given the problem over to three
agencies. All by force of circumstan-
ces, are exercising functions they were
not intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle Of admin
strative chaos, duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which Is the key
to the present condition.
"The result Is the suffering of the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
for compensation for their injuries.
Thousands have waited for months
for an opportunity to re-establish
themselves MS self-sustaining members

Philadelphia. October Is. 1921.
OVER THE RIVER
over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've passed TO the further
sido:
The seam OF their snowy robes I see,
But their voiecs are lost in the dash,nR
tide.
There's one with rinsets Of sunny gold
Ana eyes the reflection of heavens own
blue:
He crossed IN the twilight gray and cold:
The pale mist hid him from mortal Wow.
We saw not the angels that met him there;
Tbs gates OF the city we could not zee:
over the river. the peaceful river,
The angel OF death shall carry me-,
Over tho river the boatman, pale.
Carried another. the household pet;
Her brown curlB waved on the gentle gale;
Darling Minnie! see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands
And fearlessiy entered the phantom bark:
We telt 1t glide from the silver strands.
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark.
We know she In safe on the further strand.
Where all the loved ones and angels be:
Over the river. the peaceful river.
