WILL CARL FOR
OUR SOLDIERS
AFTER WAR
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.
—Tlie United States govern
ment is not going to turn its
disabled soldiers out into the
world to make their living as
best they may. When they are
rendered unfit for service
through facing the hazards of
war, they are to be educated
for some line of work which
will allow for their disability,
and it will all be done at gov
ernment expense, according to
announcement by the western
department of the army here.
Regular vocational courses
for the blind, and the lame are
to be established in all parts
of the country. When the men
have finished these courses
they will be enabled to go into
the world well equipped to
make their own living.
During this term of re-edu
cation the government will al
low the men their full army
pay, and their families will also
be provided for. Further legis
lation is expected outlining the
re-education plan more partic
ularly.
It will be the first time the
government has entered on the
re-education plan on a large
scale. This work is being done
to some extent in veterans’
homes, but it will be better sys
temitized and will be made to
include many more vocations.
In brief, the government is
to conduct a business college
of nation wide scope, for the
exclusive benefit of the men
disabled in the war. It will
not only educate the man, but
will make every effort to have
him properly placed in some
useful enterprise that will
guarantee him a decent living
until his usefulness has ceased.
Tn many respects the re-edu
cation plan will follow the con
tinental scheme, but there will
be many new lines of industry
for the disabled, which are po
culiarlv pertinent to American
life.
<)ne of the leaders in the gov
ernment’s re-education cam
paign is Mi-. S. S. Rowe, assist
ant secretary of the treasury.
He has advised all of the prin
cipal army and navy execu
tives of the plan, and has urg
ed them to let the country at
large know as much as possible
concerning it.
The re-education plan is part
of the insurance contract the
government is making with its
fighting men under the war in
surance act. The plan includes
the army, navy,-marine corps,
coast guard, naval reserves,
national navy volunteers, nur
ses, and all other branches of
the army and navy.
The operation of this insur
ance plan was automatically
started with the loss of the
transport “ Antilles.” Each
widow of an “Antilles” victim
receives $50 a month. The
money to pay widows will
come from the second Liberty
Loan.
Every man in the military
forces of the United States is
now insured regardless of
whether he signed for* such in
surance or not. This ruling will
remain in force until every
man in the service has had a
chance to get thorough ac
quainted with the terms of the
war insurance bill.
Thus the Antilles widows
who are entitled to a compen
sation of $25 a month will re
ceive an additional insurance
for 24 months of $25 under the
terms of this law.
