to-day the International Red Cross con-
ference was faced with poser from one
Of the delegates which did not admit Of
a compromise Lieut.. Gen Bessim Omer
Pasha arose and announced that he rep

to the fact that the symbol OF the cross
opposed every religious belief Of his peo-

good influence on the Mussulman world
This afforded the only sensation which
has disturbed the calm Of the conference

protests, and the president Indignantly re-

the Red Cross had been an Interchangeable
symbol under which their good work had
always been carried on. Omer Pasha,
however, insisted on his proposition, and
