WASHINGTON. FEB Miss Clara Bar
ton, the founder and ruling spirit Of that
wonderful organic ,tion, the Red Cross
Society. will leave in few days for dis
taut Armenia to carry Succ0r and comfort
TO the thousands Of suffering ones. It
will be gratifying news to the many friends
of This noble, self-sacrllicing woman, and
to the thousands Of sympathizers with the
Armenians that this brayc woman will have
her way made smooth for her by the
efforts Of United States Minister Terrell,
and her endeavors 10 carry relief and com
fort To- the sufferers from Asia Minor will
not be- frustrated. She and all the friends
and admirers of the Red Cross Society will
regret that her crrand of mercy cannot be
taken up and carried forward i'm the name
and under the banner Of the society that
she represents, bat they will console them
selves with the thought that their chief
object will be accomplished and that after
all. it is Clara Barton, who, as the apostle
of the Red Cross. does that for which the
society was called into being This work
of relief will be carried forwnrd under
difficulties almost insurmountable. Miss
Barton and the brave women who 90 with
her will have TO contend with hatred and
prejudice The fanatlcism of the Moslems
that did not hesitate to slaughter tens Of
thousands of christians will not look pa
tiently on while succor and aid are brought
to the surviving victims of their persecu.
ton. Their footsteps will be logged by
iealously and suspicion, and it is not i'm
probable that any attempt 10 administer
spiritual consolation as well as physicalcom-
fort will be the signal for putting a stop to
their work Miss Barton, than whom
there is aQta more clear-headed woman
In the world, may be relied upon to act
with prudence, discretion and clrcumspec-
ton. She is far to sensible too permit her
self or those with her to do aught to i'm
peril the undertaking to which they have
devoted themselves.
