 any sacrifice, but let us not be swerved from the purpose of holding firm 

 to what we have and give up only to gain something that will make us 

 bigger, lietter and more patriotic citizens, because patriotism now cannot

 Address by Dr. Tufts 

 The chairman here introduced Dr. James F. Tufts of the Univer- 

 sity of Chicago, who addrcssol the mooting on th? suh.joct of the 



Ro:l Cross and the work which that organization is doing to lessen 

 the horrors of war and assist in caring for the welfare of the sol- 

 diers at the front and in the camps. Dr. Tufts said, in part: 



There are two departments of the Red Cross work, one the military 

 and the other tlie department of civilian relief, which has to do with the 

 conditions of the retircil soldiers coming back to us day by day, disabled 

 and unlit for military service any longer, ready to take their places in 

 the community. With especial reference to this latter problem I wish to 

 say a few words to you as to the policy of the government, which needs 

 the cooperation of great employers of laiior and of all who are influential 

 in their communities. The government is going to do a very different, 

 thing for the soldiers who come back from this war from what the gov- 

 ernment did for the boys who came back in 1SC5. Many of our boys, when 

 they return, will be disabled, and the Red Cross asks all citizens to 

 coBpcrate with them in aiding the returned soldiers. Canada has sent 

 300,000 soldiers across the seas, and of these there have been returned 

 Invalided about 28.000. .\bout four-fifths of those not fit for military 

 duty can go l)ack to their old occupations and make a good living. The 

 first thing in the government program is that no man must sink down 

 a step in his level of living and must not get a lower wage after the war 

 than he got before. About one in ten of those who go are likely to be sent 

 back unfit for military service. If their minds have not been affected 

 by the strain, they recuperate much more rapidly than the men discharged 

 bec.Tuse of disease. More men lose their lungs than those who lo.se their
