UNDER THE FLAG
OF THE RED CROSS.
Clara Barton Tells What Her Society
Would Do in Case Of War.
The international Treaty With the Red Cross
Society Its Method of Sending Quick
Relief to the Suffering.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.

Pertinent inquiries recently received by
me are so timely as to call for immediate re-
Spouse, at the risk even of that cOnsidera-
ton which the gravity of the subject might
well claim, or the literary precision which
the cultured tastes of readers might de-
mand. l will attempt to meet them in order
as they occur.
What are we to expect from the intima-
tons of the latest dispatches of trouble
among the Eastern nations; the threatening
attitude of Russia and the movements of
the German Emperor; and, especially, how
shall VIC interpret the little remark, appar-
entity quite incidental, that notice had been
given to the Red Cross and that unusual
activity was observable at its various head
quarters? Is this the same Red Cross that
works on our fields of misfortune in civil
life; that fed the starving cattle in the
Mississippi floods, and built and furnished
acres of homes in Johnstown? 1t so, who
gave 1t notice to work ON these fields, and
in case of European war would il be eX-
pected to or could it render aid there if
needed?"
1t is very difficult to determine the import
OF their warlike manifestations, which are,
most likely, mere manifesto tons, and
which, IN the great march of progress and
the clear light of later days, will probably
find better ending than open war.
StIll 1t is to be remembered that the Specks
OF war have long been on that horizon. The
clouds have alternately gathered and dis
PEELED, and 1t IS impossible to forecast the
moment when the lightning playing behind
their white rifJed thunder caps may shoot
out and Starlle Old Europe TO its center. So
long as the boundaries Of nations are fixed
by the sword, as for all time they mainly

This treaty has changed not only the
methods OF procedure OF the medical and
hospital departments of all armies, but their
insignia, flags, etc There is but one mill
tary hospital flag in the world to-day The
| commander who knows his own knows that
of the enemy, and he breaks an internal
tiOnal treaty if he knowingly turn even a
gun or stray shot upon 1t. The CONVOY
OF prisoners under escort bearing that
sign is safe; no officer can fire upon
that unarmed and detenSeleSs body of
men by 'mistake;" no mistake" can be
made, nor pretence, made that it was
made. No captured men can longer
suffer for lack of food; the world is pledged
to supply this want, and the way opened to
do It, No fields nor hospitals at field can
long lack attendance. nursing nor the neces-
sarles of life; to this relief the way is
opened No wounded men can lie unat-
tended upon captured field, and no at
tendant upon them can be captured, and no
distinction can be made in the care and
nursing; friend and foe are alike to the
workers Of the Red Cross.
These are the conditions and this the
service which the Red Cross would assume
upon the first note of war in Europe, This
is our Red Cross, the sans which would
come into instant action in a similar nace,-
slty III America, and 1t is only another
feature OF the same, duly recognized by the
great foreign powers, which, as | am so
we'll asked, rescued the people, fed the

TO which the public thought is turned when

Nhlle no actual call to aid in relief of
wars mas come to us in our nine wears under
the treaty, the Red Cross has taken its
place and performed service on twelve fields
OF national disaster, and while regarded
with grateful kindness by the people of our
country so far as understood by them. it is
instructive to know with what interest its
new work is observed, and how closely it ia
watched by the thirty nations within the
treaty on the other side of the sea. They
realize its fitness to the needs of our
land, and approve, with grateful pride,
the additions made to the great structure of
humanity so nobly erected by themselves.
The last ten years have been notably free
from devastating wars in other countries

as showing how promptly such aid can be
rendered | may quote one example.
During the troubles among the Austrian
States in the winter of 1856 circular call
went out from the International Committee
OF Geneva, Switzerland. the working corps
of which held the hnsaital relief for the sick
and wounded in the Balkan mountains, that
the patients were suffering beyond their
power to relieve;> that the cold on the
mountains was intense; their supplies had
given out; and funds for procuring more
were entirely exhausted. This appeal was at
once published; the first response was to
this effect:

MY Dear Su-The first question TO which you
desire an answer from me is: /" DO you Ihnk

which our very laws and Institutions are based.
AS long as these Christian principles are man-
tanned our institutions WILL under God, survive

the golden mean Is observed we shat! possess

TO your fourth query | reply that In my judg
ment We neeu have no fear of foreign capitalists

Dear Sir-I lack the time to do Justice TO
your questions, aud am unwilling To commit my
self on such important issues hastily; but | Will
eude IvOr to answer briefly the questions Won
put TO me- but reserve the right TO amplifv my
answers IN the future If they should be called in
question.
FirSt-Our republican form OF government
cannot last 100 years longer and continue to
dIiI under tho power Of monopoly and wealth,
as IL is doing now; In fact The moneyed power at
the present day Iorm an atistocracy or a plu-
tocracy, which entirely uulllnes every section
clause and article in our bill OF rights when
ever they are called In question In behalf OF the
peoSle. Our republican, form of government
cannot last 100 years longer FOR The reasons |
have given, The above answers our first and
second questions.
Thrd-The greatest peril menacng our Gov
erGment Is the poverty and indifference of our
people. The poor are so oppressed that they are
forced to sell themselves for what they can get
and are thus nj the mercy OF The bosses. the Pill
ant tools of monopoly, who forge to the front In
our POLITICAL parties. The people are driven to
the polls To vote for their OppresSors, and dare
not mu;mur for fear OF dismissal from cmnloy-
ment Those who can b. more independeut are
Indifferent or so absorbed In business affairs that
they do not note The rapid advances of Tins ut-
foreseen power.
To your fourth question, let me say thai do
not care whether II be an alien or native syndl-
cate that buys up the land or business enter
prises OF The country for the instinct of greed is
the s. me in an American as an EuElishman and
we have therefore as much to fear from land
stealing IN one form AS another. Very truly

Sherman and Others.
Special to THE SUNDAY CALL.

NSTkO question is of more vital Importance
E$sK to every American, man and woman,
AA5Xls than that of the perpetuity of our
republican institutions and form of govern
ment. Recognizing this fact, the following
questions were recently submitted to num-
Der of our most prominent public men best
qualified to answer them:
First-Will our present republican form
of government last 100 years longer?
Second-If not why not?
Third-What is its greatest peril?
Fourth-Is there any danger that aliens
may so buy up the land and foreign syndi-
Gates so buy up the business enterprises as
to obtain control of our country and eventu-
ally change its form of government?
Their answers, which comprise most in
teresting symposium, will be found below.
