WOUNDED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS REHABILITATED The United States Government Is resolved to do Us best to restore every wounded American soldier and sailor to health, strength, and sjjlf supportlng activity. Until his discharge from the hos pital all the medical and surgical treatment necessary to restore him to health Is under tho Jurisdiction of the military or naval authorities, ac cording to the branch of the service he Is In. The vocational training, the reeducation and rehabllation necessary to restore him to self-supporting-activity, Is under the Juris diction of the Federal Board for Vo cational Education. If he needs an artificial llmj) or mechanical appliance the Govern ment will supply It free, will keep It In repair, and renew It when neces sary. It after his d'scuarge he again needs medical treatment on account of his disability, too Government will supply It frei While ho Is In the hospital am', while training after wards the soldier or sailor will re ceive compensation as If In service and his family or dependants will re ceive their allotment. A wounded soldier or sailor, al tho his disability dos not prevent hlra from returning to employment without training, can take a course of vocational training free of cost and the compensation provldJd by the war-risk Insurance act will be paid to him and the training will be free, but no allotment will be paid to his family.
