RED CROSS FOUNDER DEAD.
Henri Dunant Founded Society After

the Battle of Solferino.
Geneva, Switzerland. -EIenri Dun
ant, founder of the international Red
Cross society, died at Holden, a health
resort.
Henri Dunant was of Swiss birth,
and lived in Geneva. At the battle Of
Solferino, June "a, 1859, he witnessed
the needless suffering and loss of life
resulting from days Of neglect to care
for the wounded. Realizing that such
condition must not exist he conceived
the idea of pledging the nations OF
the eartn to regard and protect as
neutral all sick and wounded COM
batants and all persons giving them
succor He elaborated his ideas, and
through the cooperation OF the SWISS
Federal council brought about an in
ternational conference at Geneva in
October, 1863. Sixteen governments
were represented. This was followed
by the Geneva conference of August
s, 1864 which adopted nine articles OF
agreement for the amelloratlon OF
the conditions of the wounded in the
armies in the field"
These articles were signed by IL
governments, and the signatorJ pow
ers have since reached 40, A uniform
nag made of a red cross ON a white
ground was adopted as a compliment
to the Swiss confederation, whose ma
tional flag is the reverse.
