Member Red Cross Convention.
WASHINGTON. July 2S-One of the
phases of the trouble in China, which
heretofore has been overlooked, but may
prove to be of great Importance, is the
fact that China is not a party to the
Geneva Red Cross convention, by which
the signatory powers bound themselves
to respect the Red Cross and to treat
surgeons and nurses belonging to the ar
mics of the enemy as non-combatants.
China did not sign the original treaty,
made shortly after the Crimean war, as
direct outgrowth Of the efforts of Flor
enee' Nightingale, nor did she join In the
supplementary treaty Of 1882. China is, in
fact, the only one of the great powers
of the world which has not Joined in this
convention which assures the safety Of
those engaged on errands Of mercy on the
battlefield 1t is possible that this fact
may deter the war department from per-
