_VETERANS’ BUREAU CASES TREATED IN MILITARY HOSPITALS_
“Now, with reference to assistance rendered within our own hospitals, in an interview with the Director of the War Risk Insurance in 1919, I heard the former Secretary of War say that he considered it an obligation on the Army to assist in caring for the discharged World War veterans and that any vacant bed in Army hospitals was always available for the treatment of these men. To carry out this policy, the Bureau of War Risk and later the Veterans’ Bureau was from time to time advised by the Medical Department of the number of available beds in our hospitals in which we could accept for treatment veterans of the World War. The number of beds thus offered has varied slightly from time to time, but has always been on the increase, particularly since last July. Last May 1450 beds were available to the Veterans’ Bureau; in October 1752 beds were available, and by November 24th 2200 beds were available. The following brief table gives the exact status on January 5, 1922:
