THE RED CROSS SOCIETY"

In the memorable battle of Soferino
in 1859, there were $4,000 soldiers killed
and wounded. On account of the medi-
cal staff being wholly inadequate to
the task so suddenly cast upon them.
the dead. in part, remained for days
unburicd. and the wounded where they
fell.
A Swiss gentleman, Henry Durant by
name, was then travelling near that
battlefield and was deeply impressed
by the scenes there presented to him.
He joined in the work of relief but the
lack of preparations and consequent
suffering haunted him afterwards and
impelled him to write a book entitled:
"A Souvenir of Soferino," in which he
strongly advocated more humane and
extensive appliances to wounded SOL
dierS.
He lectured about this before the So
ciety of public utility of Geneva. A
meeting of this society was held to
consider a proposition relative to the
formation of permanent societies for
the relief of the wounded soldiers. This
meeting took place on the ninth of
February 1868. The matter was laid
fully before the society and it was
heartily received and acted upon. A
committee was appointed with Mr..
Morymier, a gentleman of independent
fortune, at it's head to examine into the
methods by which the desired results
might be obtained.
al d. COUVtIlllOH lGlu tue lOllOWlI
year was brought out the Geneva
Treaty and permanent international
committee with headquarters at Gen
eva, was formed. and the fundamental
plans of the national permanent re-
lief societies adopted. Its sign or badge
was also agreed upon, namely, The
Red Cross. 1t was necessary for rec
ognition and safety and for carrying
out the provisions of the treaty, that a
badge should be agreed upon. The Red
Cross was chosen out of compliment
to the Swiss republic, where the first
convention was held. Swiss colors be-
ing white cross on red ground. The
badge chosen consisted of these colors
reversed.
The treat-- provided for the neutral
ity of saE AIRY supplies, ambulances,

sick and ', ounded men and for their
safe conduct
In 1873 Mis- Clara Barton inaugur-
ated a movement for the recognition
of this society in the United States. In
President Arthur's administration she
saw her labors rewarded. She became
president of the society which was
founded in 1882 and has held the hon
ored position ever since.

SPAIN IN THE NEW WORLD.

Whatever Spain has done in the new
world from the first has been evil. Her
Influence has always been exerted on
the side of oppression and against en-
lightment and liberty; it has been
marked with cruelty and selfishness.
She has gained much wealth from her
colonies but it has not been honestly
acquired and it has been expended for
ill ends. Spain. in spite of al her OPP
portunities is a bankrupt nation. In
no European nation is ignorance so pre-
valent as in SPAIN None is more brutal
in its customs or more narrow and per-
verse in its aims.
The Spanish people are noted for their
courtesy and for their hospitality to
strangers. They are very proud. but
they have one fault. and that is that
they will not admit that they are wrong.
The Spanish character seems to be
almost hopelessly given to plundering.
The poor. ignorant peasants, of course,
have to work. but most of the Spanlards'
of the higher class thing it beneath
them and live on what they can extort
from the peasants.
From conquering the Moors they de-
rived many of their worst. as well as
their good traits. From the Moors she
learned courage and strength in war,
and finally used it to drive them from
her territory. From them also she in
herited the fantastic cruelty, the love,
Of God. the ANIMAL lusts which from the
first have stained her records. But the
Spaniard shows the Moor degraded; he
is less noble than his dark-skinned mas
ter. less generous less highly organized.
Socially and politically she has always
been corrupt. In the name of church,
and Christ she has exterminated pop
ulation and shed more blood than flows
in the veins of all living Spaniards to-
day. She is much like Turkey in this
respect. and if it were not for the jeai-
Ousies of Europe she might not have
been permitted to live so long.
Spain at one time was the richest ma
ton in the world: she owned not only
most all of South America. but the
greater. part of the land west of the
Mississippi river. and also all of Cen
trail America. Mexico. West Indies and
Florida.
How came she to- lose all this terri
tory? All her colonies south of the
United States rose UP in rebellion and
freed themselves from her tyrannica1
rule. while she lost those in the United
States by sales and cessions. AS the
18th century drew to close Spain,
which once owned most all of the New
World and was the richest nation, had
left only few islands in the West In
dies. and these she lost in 1893.
In stating the relations of Spain to
little Cuba you will think. see plainly
how Spain has been so unsuccessful in
colonizing the New World. The history

BENEDICT ARNOLD.

Benedict Arnold! What does that
name recall to our minds? Pride and
love On the one hand, and shame and
sorrow on the other. PRIDE as pelng one
of men in his early career in the ReVo-
lutionary war. Shame and sorrow IN
the latter part of his career, when he
became a traitor to the country which
he seemed to love and f2 ?i whicn ne
strove as few other men did.
AS boy he was very Maynard. I'M
principled. rash. reckless. bold. daring
and pitiless. He was terror TO MS

so that friends obtained his release.
This was only for short time, how
ever. for he again ran away. This time
he soon returned owing to hardShlps.
Until we see Arnold in the Revolu-
tionary war. his life plainly shows the
same characteristics. But during the
becomes that loving unselfish patrl-
otto character which, we admire in his
early career as a soldier.
What could be more noble. patriotic
and unselfish than when Arnold. who
met Ethan Allen. and being refused
command of the army. he Joined Aliens
army as a volunteer. On Arnold's re-
turn from Ticonderoga he was dis
patched by Washington to go by way

lected Arnold because he knew that ne
would not turn back. although the
route was difficult. Arnold b "a hs
started on but what mlShapS DID ne
encounter? Hunger, at times they
cooked their moccasins: cold. for it was
in the depth Of winter; sickness. many
died as the result of wading streams
and many a noble fellow laid down bis
life.
What bravery. what patriotism. what
unselfishness did he show here! He did
not do it for the glory there would be
in it. but for the love of his country.
Had some other general but Arnold
been in command he would probably
have given up and turned back. but
Arnold would not give up.
Finally. Quebec was reached. Here
he was Joined by Montgomery's force,
