4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1919 War Emergency Union Activities -) | --- 1 GOVERNMENT WORK FOR WOUNDED MEN In the rehabilitation work there are two great obstacles to be over- come . One of these obstacles is pub- lic indifference; the other is the re- luctance of the disabled themselves. The Government, in deference to our national susceptibilties, has inau- - gurated a democratic scheme which can only to a limited extent be run from the center; its real go and vitality depend on public interest and local effort. If these are lacking the scheme falls. Even if the Govern- ment were to drop all red tape, and the treasury were to widen inde- finitely its purse--even then the suc- cess of a voluntary scheme could only come from the good will and efforts of the public and of the disabled man himself. Everyone who knows a disabled man must lend a hand to bring to his knowledge, and to the knowledge of his family, the oppor- tunities which are open to him by a free education. If all do not lend a hand in disseminating the facts, then no matter what the Government and the funds may do, there will still be many thousand of disabled men who will become public charges. The moral for all this is that everyone | his utmost if are to 'avoid this disgrace for the country and for the disabled. The second obstacle is the reluctance of the dis- abled men themselves to 'learn a trade. They are naturally disinclin- ed to effort after all they have suf- fered. It is to be hoped that every- one who reads to soldiers in hospi- tals will take to him General Gor- gars' message of hope and cheer. The Service League for the Handi- capped, 54 West Adams street, Chi- cago, will be glad to furnish further information concerning this work of rehabilitation. The following interesting com- parison of "Kultur's" view of hunger. and Democracy's ideal concerning it has been issued by the Food Ad- ministration. Let us keep in mind our necessary self denial in food, that the nations of the world may not starve this year. Two Ways of Regarding Hunger "Starvation must serve our pur- pose. So we set it to work for Ger- many. By starvation we can ac- complish in two or three years in East Poland more than we have in West Poland, which is East Prussia. in 'the last hundred years. With that must do we in view, we propose to turn this force to our advantage." General von Kries, of the German army. (1915.) "In addition to the supplying of those to whom we are already pledg- ed, we now have the splendid oppor- ' tunity | nd obligation of meeting the needs of those millions of people in the hitherto occupied territories who are ing actual starvation. The] people of Belgium, Northern France. | Serbia, Roumania, Montenegro, Po- land, Russia and Armenia rely upon America for immediate aid.... American people, in this most | critical period of their history, have | the opportunity to demonstrate not ly their ability to assist in estab- earth but also their the | TY 1A¢ 1g peace on consecration, by seli-denial to caus f suffering humanity."

And Everett Wilson was a hero. His commander in the line of duty was quick to recognize that when he cited him for bravery, with the splendid tribute: "He gave proof of bravery and a high sense of duty.... doing everything possible to succor the wounded".... It was back in the summer of 1917 when north shore men were flocking to recruiting stations eager to get into the fight against the German hordes, that H. Everett Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilson, 727 Greenwood avenue, joined the army of prospective warriors. But Wilson had an injured eye. He was not ac- cepted in any of the branches of | service in the American forces. i Undismayed he immediately ap-| plied for service with the French ar- | my in the American Field Service as munitions truck driver. In the course | of a few.weeks he was accepted and late in the summer sailed for France. He was first attached to the Amer- ican Field Service as camion driver under command of a French division. Those were the days when Ger- many was leading the fight and the conflict was exceedingly keen. Later he transferred to the Red Cross service and was assigned as chauffeur of a staff officer's car. In this service he was almost invariably under shell fire. It was after enter- ing this service that his distinguish ed work in the Field service was of- ficially recognized in a citation for bravery from the division com- 'mander. | ~The citation was briefly as follows: the front lines, gave proof, under the command of Chief Scully, ably as- H. Everett Wilson sisted by drivers Thompson and Macy, of bravery and a high sense of duty. effecting the unloading of the material, doing everything pos- sible to succor the wounded, and re- | tiring with all their cars." Wilson served in the Red Cross for | several months and was eventually granted a six weeks' furlough after | 10 months of duty at the front. He returned to the United States and Wilmette in June of last vear. He never returned for duty. of the service had been too great. Wilson was 23 years of age and a graduate of New Trier High School.
