humanitarian work of physical recon-

Red Cross is equipped to find the in

Immediately for his necessities, and
open the way for him to the Govern

he is entitled. The extension of this
work to the families of such men
proves to them that the Red Cross
has lost none of its sympathy nor will

whom were under treatment in Gov
eminent hospitals on June 1, 1922
