Red Cross Helps Returned Soldiers In Compensation

MANY returned soldiers do not yet understand that the government furnishes compensation for mental disabilities as well as for physical. The Lake Division headquarters of the Red Cross, Cleveland, reports that 3,999 men In Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky are being treated for mental disabilities —shell shock and other ailments — either incurred during the period of service or resulting from military service. In any part of the country a properly established claim for help of this sort will be met promptly. The simplest way of getting such a claim established is through the Home Service department of the Red Cross. Application may be made at any Red Cross office, chapter or branch, and it will be referred to the proper bureau.
