Headquarters in New York.
We have established headquarters for this
department at 81 East 18th street CUnion
Square,, New York city, where all inquiries
relative to the Red Cross emergency corps
and the formation of classes should be adj

plan of reorganization includes the forma-

men of national reputation, who shall have
entire charge of the funds of the Red Cross.
This course is made necessary by the in

Precious Time Lost in Past.

In times past urgent calls have come to
us and precious time has been lost through
lack of funds and suitable equipment. II
Is most desirable that this condition should
be remedied, and it is to this that L am
making an appeal to the American people
not for their money nor their substance, but
that they cooperate with me earnestly In
this new work-this effort to benefit them
selves that l am endeavoring to 1naugu-
rate.
1t will be borne in mind that IN the
twenty years Of its existence. the American
National Red Cross has never appealed,
never asked for nor sought the control or a
dollar even for relief; but has, as 1t seeks
to do in this movement, left the people free
in the exercise of their own choice and
intelligence. The only apparent Suspension
of this method took place during the actlVe
service of the Spanish American war, when
the great committees formed at the In
stance of President Mckinley. raised money
for relief In the name of the Red Cross and
applied it, the society itself holding It's
normal position under the .attorneyshlp OF
the noble Cuban relief committee, which ID
honor to itself and the nation
Can it be too much to expect that this one
appeal will meet ready response at the
hands of the people?
we are actively organizing new branch
of the Red Cross to be known at the first
aid department of the American National
Red Cross which department will be large
lv educa tional and will concern itself in
instructing the people everywhere through
out the United States in the best modern
methods of first aid treatment, in all cases
of accident and emergency.

Two Distinct Branches.

There will be two distinct branches OF
this work For the first, an emergency
case similar to that in use in England, Ger
many and other Red Cross treaty nations.
This has been adapted to American needs
and methods. under the direct supervision
of the medical board of the Red Cross
Hospital and contains material and surg
ical dressings of the best class known 10
modern surgery. A most valuable part OF
the permanent equipment Of this emergency
case Is a series of emergency charts, ar
ranged for instantaneous reference, giving
simple brief instructions for dealing with
every conceivable case of accident, pending
the arrival of the doctor. This chart Is
the combined work of a committee of emf
nent physicians and surgeons; and apart
from the admirable manner Of it's arrange
ment may be regarded as the highest stand
ard of authority upon first aid methods of
treatment known to the world
Most perfect arrangements have been
made for the manufacture of these emer-
gency cases, and an organization Is created
to introduce them to railroad corporations,
mills factories, stores, schools, private
houses etc They will be sold at a nominal
price and whatever of profit is realized
will go to meet the needful expenses of
the organization--for which there mas htth-
erto been only personal provision and tho
creation of a fund for meeting great ma
tlonal calamitieS.

First Aid Emergency Glasses.

The other branch of the department will
undertake the formation of first aid emer-
gency classes in every city in the country
Ambulance corps will be formed among the
employees of mills and factories, Industrial
corporations, railroad employees. the police
and employees of public departments. These
employees will be drilled and instructed in
first aid methods. and apart froin the value
of the knowledge they will obtain for local
use and service, they will form efficient
force to draw from, as helpers in great
national calamities.
These methods are in no way expert
mental In many European countries. as
England, Germany, Russia ard even
Asiatic Japan, they form one of the
strongest features of the Red Cross. They
are also in perfect accord with its first
principles, viz, The voluntary help of the
people for the government if in need, and
the organized help of the people for each
other in misfortune.
This practical work in the united hands
OF the whole American people should raise
the organization far above the need of
charitable gifts for its supporS. The Red
