RED CROSS HELPS
WAR'S SUFFERERS
Aids 200,000 Veterans and
Their Families—27,ooo Dis
abled Still in Hospitals.
SPENDS $5,866,255 IN YEAR
Individual Attention Assured to
All Fhysically Ailing or
in Distress.
Washington, =~ War service five
years after the armistice, which on
November 11 the American Red Cross
marks with the opening of the annual
membership canvass, shows that dur
ing the past year assistance was ex
tended by the Red Cross to some 200,
000 ex-service men or their fami
lies. To 130 hospitals throughout the
country approximately 75,000 ex-serv
ice men were admitted for treatment,
and to 63,296 of these men definite and
specialized service was extended, the
Red Cross annual report discloses. In
all hospitals under government opera
tion a total of nearly 27,000 disabled
veterans were reported by the Sur
geon General pf the Army.
These facts of the aftermath of
physical and metal disability five years
after the World War, and the burden
resting upon the relatives and de
pendents of the ex-service men, show
conclusively the great need of the
Red Cross to act as a supplementary
arm of the government in service to
these many thousands of men who
wore the uniform of the United States.
It should be emphasized that govern
ment assistance is necessarily stand
ardized along specified lines affecting
them as a whole. The Red Cross serv+
ice is to the individual man and the
gsolution of his problems. This the
Red Cross designates “home service”
for its aims to give the loving care
and interest of the home to these men
undergoing physical reconstitution
far from their actual home influences.
Year's Expenditures $5,866,255
‘ln ¢he year ended last June 30 the
Red Cross reports $3,920,000 spent by
its Chapters in extending individual
attention to the ex-service men and
$1,946,255 spent by National Head
quarters of the Red Cross, a total of
$5,866,25F In behalf of the men called
to duty in the World War the Red
Cross since July 1, 1917, has spent
nearly $164,000,000. Today there are
2,608 Chapters in as many localities
carrying on this work, aiding the in
dividual veteran, assisting his family,
furnishing creature comforts and
funds to tide over troublesome periods.
The strong connecting link between
the Red Cross and the United States
Veterans’' Bureau takes the complica
tions out of difficult cases of clalms.
The Red Cross in this work requiring
persanal representation of the ex-serv
ice man has acted in appeal cases, in
surance matters, personal and family
problems, camp and hospital activi
ties, and in cases of death, This serv
ice handled nearly 12,000 compensa
tion and-insurance claims, and 2;226
allotment and other claims.
Solves Serious Problem
The financial problem of the ex-serv
ice man wHen traveling to and from
hoapitals is a serious one, and in meet
ing this constant demand the Red
Cross expended $138,334.17 during the
year. For extra recreational equip
ment in Veterans’ Bureau training
centers $14,306 was spent, and for the
blinded veterans in the government
school funds were supplied to enable
some of these unfortunate men to en
ter business as storekeepers and poul
try raisers.
In Veterans’ Bureau hospitals the
record of a single month illustrates
the large service rendered by the Red
Cross. For example, 15,504 new cases
required attention, and a total of 26,
007 cases were acted upon; 49,368 let
ters and 1,863 telegraph messages
written, and more than 1,600 enter
tainments given in recreation houses
for the bengfit of the patients.
Authorities declare that the pres
ent is a critical time in tHe lives of
many of the disabled ex-service men
who during the five years gince the
armistice have developed misgivings
of recovery.
Work Among the “Regulars”
Service to the enlisted men of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps is a
charter obligation of the Red Cross,
which in the last ycar recorded over
200,000 cases of assistance extended
and 834,420 visits to the sick and dis
abled. Inquiries by the Red. Cross at
the request of Government authori
ties into the home conditions of sol
diers, sailors and marines aggregated
17,714, and there were nearly 6,000
instances where the Red Cross locat
ed men for their families.
All these activities constituting a
single responsibility of the American’
Red Cross demonstrated during the
year that its “war service” in behalf
of the veteran and the man enlisted
in the' nation’'s defensive arms must
go forward unfalteringly and with
out stint of funds. The work of the
last five years has welded a cloge
bond of regard between the men who
sacrificed and the Red Cross, whose
efforts are praised and indorsed by
the veterans’ organizations., To do
all that can be done to soften the ¢on
sequences of the hard blows of war
is the supreme duty of the Red Cross,
to which it is giving its best work and
mosat liberal service,

Botanical Expert Describes
' Strange Power of Locomao
| tion in Some Flora.
! The animal kingdom and the plant
;klugdom have been thought of as sep
inmto worlds, but science is dinding
; many connecting bridges. Dr. Fred J.
' Seaver of the New York Botanlcal
| garden staff, in a recent lecture sald
(that It has now become absolutely lm
| possible to sepanate the lower anlmals
ltrom the lower plants,
We think of the plant as statlonary,
|whlle the animal is able to move
inbout, but many of the lower plants,
such as the dlatoms, swim about in
‘the water, while many of the lower
canlmals are fixed, he polnted out,
| Going higher In the scale than the
humble diatoms, we find plants adopt
'lng the fixed habit, sald the lecturer,
iwhlle animals developed to a high de
~gree the power of locomotion. This,
“together with the fact that animals
| were largely dependent upon plants for
' food, had apparently resulted in many
' modifications of structure on the part
of either the animal or the plant, or
both.
| Since higher plants were for the
'most part stationary, while animals
‘were motive, it was necessary for the
plant, generally speaking, to carry on
a defensive warfare to keep from be
ing destroyed by Its hungry enemies.
Many plants, especially the desert
;plants, had developed protectlve arm
; aments of spines or thorns. Just how
these devices originated, sald Doctor
'Seaver, it was now difficult toysay, but
that they served their purpose could
‘not be denied.
j Again, since higher plants were un
able to move about, many ingenious
arrangements had been perfected for
making use of the locomotary powers
of animals for performing someo of
the necessary functions of plants. The
‘plants used the locomotary powers of
insects and other animals mainly in
the pollination of thelr flowers and for
the distribution of their seeds. The
appeal was usually made to the an
imal’s desire for food, which was of
fered as bait. In securing the de
sired food, the animal was made to
scrve the plant. }irilll‘qntly colored
flowers acted as/signals, while the
nectar which they contained was of
fered ns recompense for the assistance
rendered.

~IN HEALTH CAMPAIGN
£ s
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.
“The supreme opportunity for lead
ership” for the American Red Cross is
its health gervice, Thus a committee
made up of prominent physiclans, san
ftarlans and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study, re.
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
pervice, but should undertake a
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just lssued, discloses that it
has grasped this opportunity in the
flelds of public health unursing,- in-’
struction in home hygiene and care of
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
lealth service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor
tgnt function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new flelds and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 40,000 nurses, 20,
000 of whom served during the World
War. The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
gections of Alaska and North Caro
lina and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the (American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1,038 Red
Cross nurses working under the di
rection of Chapters. Thig work has
won so high a regard that many of
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
is noting a steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who com
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,5956 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were un
der the instruction of 1,064 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each person’s pecul
iar needs is winning widespread rec
ognitionh through the work of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 2,688 carried on regular instruc
tion in nutrition, reached more than
150,000 children and adults. More
than 2,250 volunteers assisted in this
work. Throughout the country 35,288
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approxi
mately 264,500 persons.

On Armistice Day
America’s great humanitarian effort
in behalf of stricken Japan early in
Septembef gave the answer to the
question, “What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?’ What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
country-wide team work to carry out
quickly and effectiveiy the request of
the President to lead the national ef
fort for the relief of the many thou
gands of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed'is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled in ev
ery community in the land this readi
ness would be impossible. That 18
why your dollar membership is most
important.
It' is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November 11,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 29, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends of the
earth and to 'llhe gships sailing the
seven seas. he 3,606 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.
