WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 2% 1922 ra RED CROSS REPORTS | ON 14 MONTHS' WORK 'What is being done for the disabled ex-service man by the Chicago Chap- ter American Red Cross, is told in their annual report. Trained counsel and relief were given to 66882 dis- abled men in fourteen months. For the men who have no homes arrangements THE KHAKI, BLUE and GRAY (MExo0's Dab.)

That speak of the long years passed o'er, Ninety-five per cent of the active cases are those of very ill men; men who are in hospitals or receiving out- patient treatment. Many of these men are not receiving compensation and the Red Cross must provide for the family as well as the men. The rent must be met and a regular al- lowance be given to cover the needs of the families so that the patient will snot worry. The men and families of our Allies who are residents in Chicago are cared for as our own. Ex-service men from Chicago now in government hospitals have been pro- vided with clothing and incidental needs. Men in the Chicago contract hospitals have been given service. In direct relief work $200,000 has been spent in fourteen months. HOW DISTRESSING IS THIS ANNUAL VISIT?
