ktd Cross office
The activities of the Red Grass
office are grouped under !w" heads:
l. The Soldier WORK
:. Social Service Program.
The soldier work is still the para
mount obligation of the Red Cross.
While the work is steadily growing
lc-' c. a problem t.,cre s:,'i exists an
appreciable amount to be done. THIS
Is the last year that many ex-scrvice
men can legally file their claims, the
law provides that no compensation
shall be payable unless claim there
for be filed, in case Of disability
within five years from date Of dis
charge or resignation from the ser

On March Is, 1923 there were %
active claims on Tile. Seventeen new
eases were opened during the year
making total of ll5 claims handled
between March l, 1913, and March

closed, leaving total of u claim!
active at the present time. In ad

been referred from other Red Cros:
offices for investigation and follow
up work, all Of which required con
siderable correspondence. There are
additional claims for Civil Wa
Veterans.
&c cannot be definitely aScertalnet
just how many of the claims have
been satisfactorily adjusted since
the soldier does not correspond witt
the Office unless he mas Il definite
problem, and the Bureau does not al
ways send us report of each case
settled. The records show a salts

Twenty-eight were hospltalized with
IN the year Two or three were re
instated IN their insurance.
The work in this department re
solves itself INTO problems connected
with City Relief, County Welfare
and State Children Bureau, and II
even more varied than soldier wort
and does cot readily admit OF def
mite classification.
The Social Registration Bureau wa
organized by the Association o
Commerce principally with TIT
thought OF giving common direc

Held OF charity. 1t stands for UNI
fled action and will eventually lea'
to the elimination OF waste and bring
