The Red Cross, through her exertions
and influence, SO amended as to in
clude calamities other than those of
war. and now reorganized and strength
ened, is one of the grandest human
agencies for the relief of suffering ever
brought into existence. Today, on or in
the vicinity of battletields, where hu-
man lives are sacrificed as though of
no value or account, and deSolation and
suffering exist without a parallel in
history. it is carrying forward it's work
In manner to win the admiration and
gratitude of the whole civilized world.
IL is hoped by all, and confidently expect
ed by some, that the demand for it's work
on account of war may soon cease: !:

eacn other as in the past, and the Red
cross, 1t is believed. is destined to be
OIL lncalculable value to mankind,
while genera tions yet unborn shall sue
ceed each other upon the stage of hu-
man activity.
May Gods benediction rest upon the
ked Cross forever; but let it be remem-
bered that the founder of the American
branch of it, and the noble woman who.
FOR many years was in the forefront
OF its blessed work, was Clara Barton.
That we, and those to come after us.
may not forget, let there be erected in
the nations capital a suitable memorial
that shall stand as a forcible reminder
and fitting recognition of that fact.

Capital city, magnificent monument
commemorative of the patriotic serv-

in the distribution of honors the Wom-
en- of this country are far from having
received the proportion to which they
are entitled. No officer in our army
during the civil war is entitled TO
broader or higher monument than are
the women, without whose Sacrlnces,
cheerfully made, and hardships. heroic
ally borne, our flag would have gone
down in final defeat.
l hope that in the near future there
will be erected in the National Capltal
a suitable memorial to Clara Barton,
the founder of the American Red cross,

Nevertheless, she was a hero as we'll
