Government and Re-

ROLL CALL effective

The work Of the District chapter
of the American Red Cross for dis
abled veterans Of the world war apd
their families will continue for the
next year as a result Of the response
Of the citizens Of Washington to the
sixty-ninth annual roll call Of that
body, now in progress in this city
and throughout the country.
This announcement was made to-
day by District chapter officials. who
pointed out that this feature of the
District chapter work was one Of its
most important services in this post
war period.
The general policy of the American
Red Cross, both in the District chap
ter and nationally in the matter Of
care OF the e&-service men and their
families. Is to regard it as a primary
Red Cross responsibility.
John Barton Payne, chairman OF the
American Red Cross and former Sec
retary Of the Interior under President
Wilson. said the Red Cross Is not to
usurp the governments responsibiii-
ties. but to supplement official ac-
tivity. harmoniously cooperative
with official plans and methods: seek
out the individual in the standardized
mass and his peculiar needs.
Medium Of Information.
The Red Cross acquires and dis
tributes information among the men
and their families" he said; "ac-
quaints the United States Veterans
Bureau with the personal equation in
individual cases; prepares and fur
nishes comforts. recreation and the
ne h;ot, q
procure only from Funtary assist
anca.
These obligations and privileges
fall primarily to the Red Cross chap
ters, whose volunteer members are
uation through ltaison Red Cross Of
f1cers attached to the district Offices OF
the Veterans Bureau. There has
been a drawing Of the chapters into
more direct and immediate communi-
cation with the Veterans Bureau.
"Simplifica ton of methods. however
has not decreased the government -
need Of Red Cross assistance. as is
made evident by the continual call
for increased funds and personnel.
To the extent OF its financial and per-
sonnel resources the Red Cross must
continue to discharge this mandate
from the people.
