THE JAPANESE RED CROSS.
Probably the Finest Organization of

Froonbiy the Finest Organization of

1he Red Cross society Of Japan Is
probably, all things considered. the
iinest organization OF the kind i'm the
world. 1t has been growing and I'm
proving constantly since It's small ORR
gan In 1871 and now has nearly a mil
hon members, an excellent relief or
ganizatlon and large funds. Its meth
DDS are radically different from any
volunteer aid we have vet seen In
America, for its fundamental assump-
ton Is that the army knows fits own
business and is competent to attend to
It. Its general attitude instead of i'm

disproportionate cost OF money and Ia

But in the Japanese Russian war
there Is single great, well prepared
organization, the ally and assistant of
the medical officers, working only
where it is instructed that it will be of
use and accomplishing vast good at
minimum cost.
The Japanese Red Cross society is
characteristic of the nation, for every
war. campaign and great disaster since
its foundation has been to it's officers
lesson by which they have profited. In
the present war they are always on the
alert to discover their defects, to learn
how to remedy them and to gain new
ideas for improvement. 1t was as one
or many means to attain these ends
that some American army nurses were
wanted in the Japanese hospitals.

A reader of the Academy has lighted
upon the source OF the title Of one OF
Mr.. Kipling's books, Captains Cour-

the opening stanza OF the sixteenth
century song celebrating MARY Am

Did march to the siege OF the city of

They mustered their soldiers by two and
