Not This Year
Acting Secretary of State Loomis, who
was to be one of the representatives OF
the United States at the Geneva con-

said this morning that the convention
probably will not be held this year. He
has sent a dispatch to Europe asking
for full explanation of the delay The

that the failure of many countries sub

favor changes in the American Red Cross
which will enable it to regain public CON
