27 1G1K ER 257. 1918 | War Emergency Union Activities | = aur THE FIFTH LOAN A large percentage of the money which will be subscribed to the Fifth Liberty loan will go toward the rehabilitation of wounded men. The United States government is resolv- ed to do its utmost to restore every wounded American soldier and sailor to health, strength and self-support- ing activity. He will not be dis- charged from the hospital until all the medical and surgical treatment necessary to restore him to health has been given him, under jurisdiction of military or naval authorities, ac- cording to the branch of service he is in. Then his future will be considered by the Federal Board for Vocation- al education. If he has been disabled in such a way that he cannot take up the work he left to go into the country's service, a large vocational field is opened up to him, with a wide choice of occupations. He is care- fully trained to self-supporting activ- ity. i If he needs an artificial limb or mechanical appliance, the govern- ment will supply it free, keep it in repair and renew it when necessary. If, after his discharge from the hos- pital, he again needs medical treat- ment on account of his disability, the government will supply it free. While he is in the hospital and while in training afterwards the soldier or dailor will receive compensation as if in service and his tamuy or depend- ents will receive their allotments. Also, a wounded soldier or sailor, regardless of whether his disability prevents him from taking up his former employment, may take a course in vocational training, free of cost, and the war-risk insurance compensation will be paid him during the time of training. In this case no allotment will be paid to his family. fh Sb ei a 5 be RT bo &3 arac i c Coef it LTRS RES ARANIGMIG Doney The training branches, with thousands of trained instructors, use millions of the nation's doll and the country, instead of he filled with dependent cripples and | beggars, an eyesore to the nation and a constant reminder of the horrible side of the great war, with its glori- fied cause and its magnificant vic- tory, will have thousands of highly trained men--heroes, -the glory of whose sacrifice will not have been tarnished by a moral and mental dis- integration. That's one of the reasons why the Fifth Liberty loan must be oversub- scribed. The first three loans Amer- ica launched in the war--built train- ing camps and equipped and sent the men overseas; the Fourth Liberty loan, the "fighting" loan, backed up the fighting men and made over- whelming victory for the allies pos- sible. The Fifth or Victory loan will be just as important in the annals of war loans, for both moral and ma- terial reasons. America would be monstrously ungrateful should she not stay with her men in khaki and blue until they are returned to their homes, physically strong and able to earn a livlihood. The best way for every person to show his personal gratitude is to start now planning how much he can subscribe to the Fifth loan. WAR PERSONALS James E.

Sale of smileage books, the coupons in hich give admission to liberty theaters, has been stopped, because ~~ the war department estimates that nough is outstanding to meet all on so no smileage can be pur- chased now. This outstanding smile- age is in the hands of individuals or decal committees which purchased it for presentation to soldiers, and the ommission says that no better use or it could be found than to place it t the disposal of the homecoming en. Many of them, it seems, are eaching this country with little or o money. They are hungry for heatrical entertainment after their ilitary service and the trip across he ocean, but have no funds to pay dmission to the liberty theaters at the camps. Those to whom smileage pas been given are pleased and grate- ul. Smileage books forwarded to the commanding officers at the ports of debarkation in any of the eastern military districts will be held by these officers and issued, by them, as need- ed, to the returning soldiers. Amer- country's welcome to the men who have fought in France have this di- | rect method of participating if they possess any smileage books.
