George Kennon the noted Siberian

Red Cross Association, writes in the out

The International Red Cross movement
seems to me among the most noteworthy
and benefcent Of the many philanthr0pic
undertakings that have characterized
the present century.
The historical event in which the Red
Cross had its origin was the battle OF
Solferino, In the Italian war OF 1873. None
than 100000 troops were engaged. TIE
suggestions which led TO the formation
of the first Red Cross societies came
from a little book called "a Souvenir OF
Solferino,' by Henri Dunant.
In reviewing the terrible battle NJ. Du-
nant graphically ees ,rlbes tie suffering

Hon. Thomas T.. Bayard late Ambassa-
dor to England. has been often ridiculed
as an Anglo-maniac. But Mr.. Bayard
has recently said some very sensible
things about the proposed alliance be-
tween Great Britain and America. Owe
do not need a formally artculated alli-
ance with Great Britain says he, cor
even a defined understanding. \ recogni-
ton Of the mutually Of our interests and
the community of our judgments and
general sympathies is enough. Where
brothers are friends" he goes on, 'no
pledge Of alliance is necessary" And
again: England and America stand to-
day for the same thing-for the protec-
ton of the individual in the right OF
freedom Of soul. body ana estate"
Those who read the article in The
Times Of Sunday on the significance Of
the Fourth Of July will recall that we ex-
pressed the same sentiment
England and America could not be
bound by an alliance unless their inter-
ests were identical and their principles
the same. but where these conditions do
exist q formal alliance is not necessary.
II is always a dangerous thing, more or
less. for individuals even 10 commit
themselves in writing TO an agreement.
Bonds are always irksome, and for two
great nations to bind themselves together
under a contract TO act always in uni
son might involve the most serious con-
sequences. A tacit understanding, an
unwrltten agreement IS very much more
acceptable and effective than a cold
blO0ded contract.
