During the Russo-.Japanese war the
organization was unified and made etil-
cient. after the fighting had been In
progress long enough to show the
futility OF the two branches which had
long shown the keenest rivalry.
The Japanese Red Cross came to
the notice Of America especially at
, the time Of the Russo-Japanese war,
when II was assumed by most of us
on this side of the world that Japan
knew nothing about military nursing.
A corps of trained nurses was organ

1t would be just as well for them to
go back home. since they could not
be permitted either on the battle
field or in the hospitals. The caro-

vided for that no outside help could
be accommodated.

Souvenir OF Solferino." setting forth
the horrible side OF war as he had
witnessed 1t during the fighting be-
tween the French and the Austrians,
In northern Italy in 1859, and 1t was
this pamphlet that led directly to the
formation Of the Red Cross society,
founded under treaty In which 25
sovereign states were invited to Join
for the sake of insuring absolute neu-
trality to the wounded, in case of
war.
The most important elements In the
foundation OF the society were the
Geneva Society of Public Utility. the
American sanitary commission and
the Order Of st. John of Jerusalem,
of which Prince Frederick Charles of
Prussia was grand MASTER and which
had descended directly without a
break from the old military nursing
order that came into existenc, at the
time of the crusades.
With the exception Of the basic
principles of neutrality and human
ity, the societies in the various coup-
tries have little in common. Each
nation has worked out its Red Cross
according to Its own ideas and needs.
In France there are three sections, the
Societe de Secours aux Blesses Mill
taires, the Union des Femmes de
France and the Association des DANES
Franchises. These three societies
maintain more than ten thousand beds,
in addition to the auxiliary field hos
pitfalls which can be established be-
tween the fighting army and its base
OF supplies. and they have established
emergency hospital service in the
waiting room of railway stations. The

The German Red Cross Is a direct
branch OF the military service. and 1t
is organized for efficiency to the last
degree. Its strongest points are the
excellent training Of its nurses and
its unlimited supply OF hospital
stores.
The Red Cross society of Germany
comprises more than 100000 members,
and in addition to its regular military
hospitals, 1t maintains 1856 auxiliary
hospital. 600 railway medical rooms
and 521 convalescent homes. There
are thousands Of trained male nurses,
ambulance corps and stretcher bear
ers. and there is one section of the
female nurses to which special train
ing is given. so that they may act as
assistants to professional nurses in
emergency work.
