Mrs. Clara Barton, founder of the
American Red Cross Society, died at
her home in Glen Echo, Nd on Fri
day. after an extended illness. She
has been aptly called the Florence
Nightingale of America On the bat
tlefields of the civil war and in the
camps of the French and German
armies in Europe she nursed wound
ed and dying soldiers. She took per-
sonal charge of the nursing of yellow
fever patients of the south, and after
the fall of the Commune she entered
Paris on foot and distributed food to
the starving. She endured the hard
ships of travel in Russia and Turkey
to relieve suffering humanity, and
faced the dangers of yellow fever in
Cuba to nurse Cuban reconcentrados
and later the American soldiers in
Santiago. The Red Cross Society is
a monument to her initiative, and
through this society her memory will
be revered and her work carried on.
