ton, nor did it give immediate sup
port to an attempt to organize Red
Cross relief during the civil war. This
situation came to the attention of
Clara Barton, former school teacher
then working in the United States
patent office in Washington. She took
up the work the Red Cross is doing,
and continued it during the war and
for several years after. Worn out by
her labors in 1869 she went to Geneva
for her health, and there she came
into cooperation with the interna-
tional committee of the Red Cross.
She worked with the committee in ex-
tending relief work during the Fran
co-Prussian war of 1871. In 1883 she
returned to this country, organized the
American Red Cross, and began an
agitation to have the United States
ratify the Geneva convention. She re-
manned president of the American Red
Cross until 1904.
In this war the American Red Cross
is one of the strongest, most efficient
and best organized associations of any
kind in the world. Although Woodrow
Wilson is it's president, it's active head
is Henry P. Dawson, one of the part
ners of J. P. Morgan & Co., who left
his important work with that firm to
supervise it's organization and opera
ton. Its organization is thorough and
business-like, it's work of mercy ex-
tends to every battlefield and to many
war-stricken peoples behind the bat
tie front and penetrates to every COM
munity in the country, large and small.

Origin of the Red Cross.

The Red Cross is today the might
est agency of mercy in the world.
Though it was brought to the fore by
war, and though it's present activities
are largely related to the war, it's use
fitness is almost as marked in time of
peace as in time Of war, and when a
great disaster brings death and suf-
fering, the Red Cross is the first agen-
cy of mercy in the field and the last.
Whence came the Red Cross? This
is worth knowing now that this noble
organization Of mercy and relief is
looming so largely in the worlds
vision.
When the American civil war began
there was no Red Cross. Relief work,
aside from military hospital service
that was often shamefully inadequate,
was incidental, sparodic, based on I'M
organized effort which overlapped and
at the same time utterly failed to
meet the need.
In 1862 Jean Henry Dunant, a Swiss,
wrote book in which he described the
sufferings of wounded soldier. So
vivid and appealing was the story that
the following year conference of ma
tons was held in Geneva, which led in
1864 to a formal international confer
ence held in Geneva on the invitation
of the Swiss conference, which adopted
certain rules and regulations for the
better care of wartime sick and
wounded. Thus began the organiza-
ton now know as the Red Cross.
America, we regret to say, did not
sign the articles of the Geneva conven-
