not what it might have been. Some of the nurses
had more pity than trained ability, and a re-
suit men died or remained hopeless crippIes
throughout their lives when proper treatment
the sort of treatment an in ured man receives in
modern hospital-might have saved them.
The battle of Solferino occurred in 1859. 1t
went on for several days. In that time 10000
wounded men lay on the feld-Frenchmen,
Italians and Russians. Thousands of these re
manned for days in extreme agony, uncared for.
Thousands of them died for want of care. It
was one of the supreme horrors of all history.
1t happened that q Swiss-Henri Dunant-
went upon this battlefield and saw these dying,
neglected men. He told about it so yividly that
the nations of the world decided that it was time
to take this atrocity out of war. The Treaty of
Geneva in 500 for the first time provided for
the immunity of medical and nursing services in
battle and the sign of that immunity was to be
a red cross. And from that authorization has
sprung the great international order of mercy
The Red Cross.
The United States did not adopt the Geneva
Treaty until 1882. From then until the year
1900 the Red Cross was a struggling organiza-
tiOn-largeiy q private charity-withOut official
recognition or national standing. 1t first inn
pressed itself upon the notice of the country by
its relief work at the JohnstOwn flood in 1883
When the Spanish War broke out it was still
outside the Government and not organized or
prepared along military lines. In 1904 Miss
Mabel T. Boardman became the head of it. Her
interchangeable work caused Congress in 1905 to
give the organization federal charter and
designate it as the official relief organization of
the United States of America. 1t is the only
organization permitted to give volunteer aid to
the victims of war. Other institutions seeking
to be of Humanitarian service in time of war
must act through the Red Cross.
The organization is two-foEd in several par
ticulars, and therefore not quickly understood
by the public. It is both official and private in
its character, That is, the Government has
adopted it officially as the auxiliary war relief
service. The President of the United States by

law is also president of the Red Cross. The
comptroller of the currency is its treasurer. It's
accounts are audited by the War Department,
and its annual reports addressed to Con-
gress.
Yet the Government does not finance the Red
Cross. On occasions Congress has voted con-
tributions Of money to it. Congress helped to
build the new building for instance. But the
great volume of its funds spent for relief work
is contributed by private individuals. In times
past most of its cash has come in the form of
gifts less than 80 per cent of its receipts being
from membership fees. But with the quickened
interest in the Red Cross the membership fees
are becoming an important source of revenue.
In time of war the Red Cross acts as the
auxiliary to the medical and nursing services
the sanitary services they called, of
Army and Navy. 1t is q case of the auxiliary
being greater than the thing aided Many
doubtless wonder why the Army and Navy does
not maintain its own hospital service on an
adequate scale The answer is that it has been
found to be more efficient and less costly to give
this task over to the semi-private Red Cross. If
there were no Red Cross doubtless the military
services would have had their enlisted reserves
of surgeons and nurses, and their storehOuses of
hospital supplies. But it would have been
costly thing to do, and the chances are that its
service would have been no better prepared for
war tHau many OF the CLh6f departments OF Ihe
Army and Navy.
But the Red Cross is ready. Its enlisted
nurses number 1000 These are sufficient in
number to care for the victims of a fighting
army of 100000 men. War experience is that
five per cent of a fighting army are in the hos
pitfalls. That is, of 100000 men at the
trenches, 10000 will be sick or wounded One
competent nurse can care for ten wounded men.
In this work the Red Cross is merely the
auxiliary Both Army and Navy have their
medical and nurse corps. But these main
tanned only at such size as to meet the require
ments of peace. When war comes the Red Cross
furnishes the additional surgeons and nurses re-
CURED for the enlarged Army and Navy. When
serving together Red Cross nurse is subordi-
nate in rank to the regular service nurse, and
the Red Cross surgeon does not rank equally
with the Army and Navy surgeon, although all
are subject to the same discipline and rules.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-06-16

Now the service within the Red Cross is also
two-fold. Some timOrOus individuals seem to
fear that in volunteering to help in the Red
Cross work they are enlisting for definite terms
and may be dispatched to any point selected by
their superior officers. But this is far from be-
ing the case. The stories we will read after the
war of beautiful young girls who bravely Joined
the Red Cross and did heroic nursing service in
the base hospitals will be purely fiction. The
Red Cross will not let any woman serve at the
front as a nurse even if she demands the privi-
lcge, unless she is a graduate nurse of some
recognized institution. The nursing service is
already recruited up to it's limit, and it will be
long time before all of its enrolled nurses see
hospital service.
But a limited number of men and women
volunteers who desire to experience Red Cross
service with the Army will be given the chance.
few ambulance drivers and men who can do
special executive work will be needed with the
units sent abroad. And the hospitals also have
work for non-professional wOmen-superntend-
ing the homework at the hospital and serving
matrOns of the nurses dornitories and so on.
These women are to be called nurses aids. 1t is
estimated that there will be as many of them
there are nurses, so that if 1000 nurses are all
sent across the ocean, that many nurses aids will
accompany them.
The service which the Red Cross asks of the
be purely a voluntary, Embossed, home service,
For the most part it will be needlework, the
preparation of supplies. These supplies include
surgical dressings, which cannot be made for
the Red Cross unless the seamstress has had
special instruction in the work, and other
articles such as bed linen, pajamas, bathrobes,
and other comforts which sick men in hospitals
need. Most of these latter can be made by any
intelligent woman without special attention All
such articles must comply with standard speci-
hcations, but these specifications and plain direc-
tons are furnished by the Red Cross The ma
terials bought by the volunteer.
To train lay women for the various tasks
which must be done in great numbers if the
nursing service is to have the home support
which will make it a success, the Red Cross in
many cities conducts special courses of instruc-
ton. Glasses for this instruction can be or
gained by any ten women together, and except
in extraordinary instances the expert teachers
will be furnished. The Red Cross now has
tremendous call upon it for these teachers, and
in some cases it is impossible to supply them.
There are three of these courses, named re-

Years ago.
What is the Red Cross
What does it dos
Who does its work.
Can I help?
These are the questions asked most often in
the marble building across from the White
House. The Red Cross tries to keep up with
these floods of queries by distributing its ltera-
ture and by answering letters, but it is falling
behind in the task. The whole nation seems to
he asking these questions. And APPARENTLY as
fast individuals learn what the Red Cross
stands for and how they can help it along as in
dividuals they add their names to the mounting
membership roll and stand ready as volunteers
to assist in the work.
No doubt twO-thirds of the population of the
juited States either never knew that the Red
7 ross as an ideal came into existence since our
jvil War they have forgotten that it is so
outhful. 1t never occurs to the modern man to

And yet when a great disaster comes, or

some expert, organized force has to take care
of the victims if they are to be taken care of at
all, and until the Red Cross was organized
less than sixty years ago-there was no such
organized force Even in cur own Civil War
the nursing of wounded men was done in

The Red Cross has suddenly assumed tire
mendous Importance for Americans. The earn
est appeal of President Wilson to the generosity
of the American people to provide funds and
other support for the organization, the appoint
ment of such a man as Henry P. Dawson, of
j. P Morgan & Co, of New York. as head of
the Red Cross War Council, the announcement
that Mr.. Dawson would devote all his time to
what will probably be the greatest money
raising campaign for a benevolent purpose the
world ever saw, are facts making the country
realize that the Red Cross stands next to the
Army and Navy themselves in importance to the
people.
Why should I, already war-taxed and taking
my share of the Liberty bonds, give voluntarily

selves. Why is President Wilson so concerned
about the matter of support for the Red Cross
Why viii such men as Dawson sacrifice privite

in this respect, but we are better prepared than
any other nation ever has been at the outset of
war And the organization which has brought
this about has not offered its invaluable
service as kindly charity, it was in Spanish
War days, but it goes under presidential order
and the laws of the nation as an integral part Of
our fighting forces.
Consequently all America is awakening to
the Importance of the Red Cross and asking to
know more about it and its work. Although its
emblem is one of the best known of all designs,
there is widespread ignorance concerning the
society itself. This is not astonishing, for, old
as the emblem is, the society in its present status
is a veritable infant. 1t was authorized by Con
