WHITE FLAG" VICTIMS.
The tale Of victims to the white flag
crossed with red' is a long one Medi-
cal men, nurses, ambulance bearers. and
helpers have fallen by scores. sometimes
under fire, sometimes stricken with ty-
phus. The representatives Of the Rus
sian Red Cross followed the advance
guard into action at the attack of Kheok-
Tepe. Twelve of them paid for It with
their lives; six were wounded. The Dutch
on the outbreak of war with the Sultan
Of Atchn, sent messenger to announce
their intention Of adhering to the con-
yention The messenger was murdered.
The Italian Red Cross Society during
ed to Nassowah, through a savage and
hostile country. At Abba Carima fifty
surgeons Of the Italian army were killed
or left for dead upon the field Many
fell under fire in the act of relieving the
wounded, others were savagely stoned
TO death by the victorious Abyssinians.
The form Of aid is not always surgical
or medical; food for the starving. books
to while away the weary hours Of con-
valescence; tobacco TO sooth the nerves
wrung by pain-all are as keenly appre-
ciated and as necessary as sanitary ma
terial and indictments. Some societies
have provided homes at the seaside.
others have aided the widow, the orphan,
and the impoverished soldier. whilst
others again have seen that the wife and
child should not want whilst the husband
was serving his country.
SERVES ALL ALIKE.
The Red Cross takes no heed Of creed
or country. Ii serves and waits upon
governments, Powers, and authorities,
that IL may do its work the better; but II

devious paths OF policy. The capacity

calamity, will probably. IL the future. be

Miss Barton explained that the society
was a great international order that, by
| treaty with forty or more governments,
was part and parcel Of the great ma
chinery of the world Among the ma
! tons that are party to the treaty Miss
/ Barton mentioned Great Britain. Ger
| many France, Belgium, Russia, Austria,
Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Greece, Spain,
| Italy, Seryia, Persia, the Roman States.
! Switzerland, the United States. Vens-
zuela. Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Argentina,
and Japan. The nations named have
bound themselves in time of war 10 re-
gard the Red Cross as neutral, and
without regard to the uniform worn by
The wounded soldier the merciful mis-
sion of the Red Cross is to succor the
injured and brave death to carry from
the battlefield the victims of war.
Not only do the nations bind them
selves 10 respect the Red Cross flag to
the extent of refraining from firing
where the symbol of mercy waves, but
they agree that the uniform of the order
shall be sufficient TO ensure the wearers
safe passage through the hostile lines IL,
by so doing the noble work Of helping
the injured can be furthered.
AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT.
The agreement between the nations re-
garding the status Of the Red Cross So
ciety, went further than this. When, on
February 9. 1863 by the appointment of
a committee at the Geneva convention
with General Dufour, commander-ia-
chief of the Swiss army, at it's head, 10
carry out the ideas of the delegates, :he
Red Cross Society, was first launched.
Ii provided that the society should act
In conjunction with the military and be
part of the machine of war; as distinctly
and deliberately organized as any branch
Of the service, differing only in the par
ticular that while it was the business
of the rest of the army TO make wounds
ii was the business of the Red Cross to
carry the injured to place Of safety.
and there bind up the wounds, mend the
broken limbs. and nurse back to life and
hope those who fall in the fight
The first formal international confer
ence to ratify the plans agreed upon at
the previous gathering was held in Oc-
tober, 1868. and the final convention in
August, 1864. Here, the symbol of mercy.

THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
The various nations recognize each their
own branch OF the Red Cross, but the
society is amalgamated as a whole

We hear a great deal of diamonds in
crowns and necklaces. in bracelets and
rings, and rejoice i'm their beauty and
value. Mrs. William Astor has a collec-
ton worth a fortune, and II Is a rare
privilege to gaze upon 1t. But the finest
diamond in the world belongs TO Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. 1t Is tiny affair.

ITS MERCIFUL RAMIFICATlONS.
The merciful ramifcations of the Red
Cross work are known to few outside the
soldiers and the starving and suffering
who are the recipients Of the services and
supplies that come from the organization.
1t is generally supposed that the work
OF the Red-Cross Society begins and ENDS
with aiding the wounded on the battle
field and in hospital. There never was
greater mistake Miss Clara Barton, head
OF the Red-Cross Society in this country
is at present in Porto Rico, where she
has gone TO attend to the wants of the
