Red Cross aids ailing soldiers seek free hospital care
The American Red Cross urges disabled veterans to apply for government free treatment at civilian public service hospitals with compensation during care. About 50,000 men may be eligible, but only 4,000 have applied. Misunderstandings hinder uptake. Red Cross chapters will assist, arranging hospital entry after district health review. The effort is part of postwar relief and funded by the Third Red Cross Roll Call.

About 4000 disabled soldiers received roughly 50000 in loans from the American Red Cross for personal buses and related needs while veterans await vocational training.

Huge Overseas Shipments Made by Red Cross
The American Red Cross shipped 218 310 000 pounds in crates and barrels to 21 countries from 10 U S ports between 1917 and 1939. Shipments went by Atlantic and Pacific routes during and after World War I, with purchases in host countries for soldiers and aid civilians. Our patriotism should endure peace as well as war.
