We have received the second number, for October, of Lord
Charnwood's important and valuable quarterly, Recalled-I:0.We (Bale, Sons, and Danielsson, Is. net), which is " devoted to the care, re- education, and return to civil life of disabled sailors and soldiers." " When any one meets with a disabled men who appears to him to be left without proper assistance, let him," says Lord Chamwood, " before he writes to the papers to decry the system and stir tip the Government, consider whether he cannot more effectively help that man by a little personal trouble. The machinery is there." The chief value of this quarterly will be to tell the public what machinery is at work, and how its aid may be invoked in cases that have been overlooked. The task of caring for the disabled men has been entrusted to local Committeea under the efinistry of Pensions, and every citizen in his own district can help to keep his local Committee up to the mark if it is neglectful or incom- petent. It is a noteworthy fact that out of every thousand disabled men, 433 were discharged as suffering -from wounds or injuries and 647 as sufferers from disease.
