RED CROSS PRAISED.
Reorganization Plans the Best That
Can Be Devised.

Washington. Dec. 5.-"After carefully
examining the Red Cross systems of
Great Britain and France. | returned
to the United States convinced that
the plans adopted for the prospective
reorganization of the American Red
Cross are the best that can be de-
vised and that they excel those en-
ployed elsewhere, said Rear Admiral
William X. Van Reypen, president OF
the American National Red Cross, in
speaking of the organization.
In Great Britain I found a move
ment for reorganization of the exist
ing societies, for there are three, with
view to promoting the unification of
the work and the efficiency of the sys-
tenn. There are now maintained the
British Relief Society, the Army Nurs-
ing Association and the st. Johns
Ambulance Association. The first
confines its labors to raising funds to
be used for Red Cross purposes. the
second furnishes trained nurses to the
army and navy and the third renders
first aid to the injured. During the
Boer war all three operated under the
guidance of a central committee, which
is still in existence. To the British
Relief Society. however was delegated
the entire duty Of raising funds, in
which task it was very successful and
there remains surplus Of e4O0,000 as
a result OF its efforts. Now. however.
the Relief Society maintains that the
funds it collected can properly be used
only in time of war, and that conten-
ton embarrasses the work OF the
other associations. For this reason a

prospect Of a bowling match between

no definite understanding, much as

spirited contest will take place. as Au-
