children, comfortable provision
against want. Vocational training
was secured for 16 men, which
carried compensation of $4,000 per
month for a single man and adj
ditional compensation for his de-
pendents. Tuition is paid and nee
essary books and tools provided.
In prosecuting these claims, the
executive secretary wrote 1916 let
tiers, made 554 visits in the county,
and interviewed GA men in the
office. Besides this work, the
same clothed six families that the
children might attend school.
A record like this not only
proves the good work the Red
Cross is doing, but the need for
it's continuance.
Nationally, the American Red
Cross, of which this state is an in
tegral part, served 34,217 exservice
men, and between July /, 1917
and June 80, 1923, spent more
than 100000 in providing SER
vice to men who wore the Amer
lean uniform. During the last
year more than $4,000,000 was
spent, showing the need for keep
ing ON this work. And it will go
on with the united backing of the
country through Red Cross mem
berships.
The Junior Red Cross is an i'm
portant element in Wisconsin, for
it enlists 1884 members in 1906
schools. Packing $500 Christmas
boxes for children overseas was
one of their activities, but they
work all year round, establishing
clinics for crippled children, pro-
viding playground apparatus, send
ing good cheer to ex-service men
in hospitals, and carrying on cor
respondence with children over
seas. This last is phase that is
going to make for friendship
among nations.

this is correct in theory. the Regular

of course, 1t is questionable whether the
National Guard could be used for this
