AndersOnyille she was able to identify
all but 400 There was no appropria.
tion made for this work. the expense 0i
which Miss Barton paid out Of her OWL
purse, and when subsequently. Congress
voted to reimburse her she refused to
accept the money.
! In 1869, completely worn out by in-
cessant work, Miss Barton went to
Europe for much needed rest. This
vacation had the same ending as the
Others, and before her health was
completely restored she was asked to
again put her hands tothe plough.
It was while at Berne that Miss Bar
ton, whose reputation preceded her
across the ocean, was called upon by
committee from the international
Committee of Relief, out of which Red
theCross Society grew and asked to take
part in the convention at which the Red
Cross Society " as formed.
ON FRENCH BATTLEFIELDs.
The Franco-Prussian war breaking
out at this period, Miss Barton at the
request of DR.. Appia, went to the front
and served through the bloody struggle
with the same devotion that had
marked her service in her own country,
and her experience and cOunsels were
of the greatest assistance to the hospi-
tai authorities. In recognition of her
work the Emperor and Empress Of.
Germany presented to her the Cross of
Merit, and Grand-duke and Duchess of
Baden a Red Cross brooch, the Gold
Cross of Remembrance and the colors
of Baden.
When she returned home in 1873,
Miss Barton set about persuading this
Government to sign the international
treaty of the Red Cross Society, which
had already been signed by all other
civilized nations and by some only half
civilized, but it was not until 1882,
after nine years of inccessant labor,
that the bill authorizing the President
to sign the treaty pissed both houses
OF Congress.
In appearance Miss Barton has
changed but little during the last ten |
years. Her soft, gray hair waves back |
from a low intellectual brow, her eyes
are deep set and kindly, her features
are large and strong, and the lines of !
her face tell something of the story of |
her long life of self denial and hard work |
She could hardly even in her youth, |
have been considered beautiful wo- |
man, except when her smile, which |
is full of sweetness and inexpressible |
illumines her face.
No one could know Miss Barton,
even supericially, without being i'm
pressed with her force, energy and
resourcefulness. Whatever duty pre-
sents itself she accepts without hesita-
lion, withou. discussing it even with
herself, and no complication seems
either to alarm or discourage her. She
sees events with the clear vision with
which an astronomer looks at the
heavens, and maps out her work far
ahead with the wisdom of the seer,
Who can foretell what will happen.
With her secretaries, and the people
whom she has been called upon to di-
ect, she is accredited with wonderful
,ower, and her personal magnetism is
'ery great. She is as generous with
Ter money as with herself, and draws
N her private fortune to help through
ny project in which she is at the mo-
nent interested.
