It Is In the 2,2W* of the 8,600 Red Cross Chapters which still are helping •olve the veteran’s problem of adjust ing lilmsclf to a normal civilian status that the greater part of the cost of this service is borne. Of the total sum spent for veterans’ relief last year. National Headquarters expended n to tal of more than $2,000,000, while the remaining disbursement of approxi mately $7,000,000 represents the con trlbuttnn of Chapter* In this country wide effort to assist the Government In providing the aid sorely needed by these men and their families. An Ever Expanding Problem That the problem of the disabled •ervice man lx ever-expanding and probably will not reach the peak be , fore 1926, is the assertion of well-in formed Government officials and that 2,.107 Red Cross Chapters regard It •a their most Important work is evi dence that the expansion Is In nowise eonflned to a particular section but Is, on the contrary, nation-wide. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1921, there were 26,300 disabled service men In the 1,692 United States Public Health Service, Contract and Govern ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes, and that number Is Increasing ut a rate of 1,000 a month. Thousands of these men receiving medical treatment, compensation and ■vocational training from the Govern ment today, started their efforts to obtain them through the Red Cross Chapter. The Chapter, aetlng as the disabled man's agent In claims against the Government, Informs the man as to the procedure necessary to gain for him that which is provided him by Federal statute. His applications for compensation, medical treatment anti training are properly filed with the aid of the Red Cross Chapter. Many Forma of Assistance If there Is delay before the man's Olaiin la acted upon, the Red Cross Chapter lends the man money to nietft |he Imperative needs of hhnsflf and tils dependents.
