Red Cross Founder Dying in Poverty

A cablegram from Geneva says: Henri
Dunant. who founded the Red Cross
League. to which work he gave his fortune.
Is reported dying. friendless. penniiess and
alone: IN hospital In the Canton OF Appen-
zell. Switzerland. No nation in the world
today which makes any claim to civilization
Is unrepresented in the Red Cross League.
and that the horrors Of war are less horrt-
BILE than they once were is due entirely to
the Initiative of M. Dunant. When his
modest pamphlet. "Un Souvenir de SOL
ferin0." appeared in the early sixties those
who had been willing enough to admit the
terrible sufferings war inflicted for the first
time were halted In their indifference The
book made deep impression as q serious
work by a man who. without being
fanatic. was moved to make a plea for
more humane treatment and extensive APP
planes of aid to wounded soldiers N.
Dunant's idea made the thoughtiass think,
ever as he had been led TO think. by put
ting before them graphically the heartrend-
Ing scenes At the battle OF S0lferino that
he had witnessed.
