called the Red Cross treaty. In this
treaty it was agreed that a common
insignia, the red cross, which is the
Swiss flag reversed, should be worn
to designate medical and relief units
! The United States did not ratify the
treaty of Geneva at that time owing
to our traditional suspicion of Foreign
alliances There was a red cross
organization in United States in 1869
In 1881 it was incorporated and in 1882
the United States government ratified
the treaty of Geneva Miss Clara Bar
ton was well known in Red Gross
organizations. There are now forty.
three national red cross societies.
They are associated together under
the international committee Of Geneva
In 1914 the American red cross under,
took a tremendous task in Europe,
assisting both the Germans and Allies
equally. Their most hazardous work,
was the campaign against fever in
Servia. The American red cross
expended about two million dollars in
Europe before United States entered
the war. Base hospitals, ambulances
companies and sanitary training
detachments have been increased in
the Red Cross since the United States
entered the war. After entering the
war it was planned to raise one hun
dred million dollars for the Red Cross
necessities. This was responded to
with $12O,000,000. Wisconsin whose
appropriation was 100000 gave $1,000
000 In 1915 the Red Cross had %, 600
members at the out break of the war
it had 100000 now it has 23,500,000
also 100000 Junior red cross mem
constitutes nearly one-half the pOpu-
lation of the country. The Red Cross is
continually increasing in membership
and money. Their aim it for more
base hospitals One is needed for
every 10000 troops. The providing
of hospital ships, the maintenance of
red cross shipping service, also the
cleaning up of portions of France,
where our American troops will fight.
This is necessary both for American
and French troops and people. Tuber-
culosis and other dread diseases would
rage if sanitary precautions were not
taken. Since May 1917 the red cross
has been doing a cleaning work in
France The Red Cross is now pre-
pairing to conduct home service insti-
tutes, and offer extension courses in
this work for any one who wishes to
take it up There is a tremendous
amount of work awaiting those when
trained both in America and France.
All lovers Of America and frio-ls of
humanity should belong to the Red
Cross. Everyone can do some thing
to help along this noble cause. Mrs.

Registration to Be Held June 3.


EEAdi Gen H. T. johnson has sent to
the local boards of exemption and the
town clerks the following letter relative
to the registering of the men who have
become 21 years since the registration
which took place June 5, 1917.
"a Pursuant to instructions issued by
the Provost Marshal General in anticipa-
ton Of the early registration of men who
have attained the age q since June 5,
last, the following plan for registration is
tentatively devised for this State.
Il. The central organization in the
area under the jurisdiction Of a local
board shall be the local board for that
division. The local board shall forward
to town and city clerks the necessary
blanks, registration cards (Form l J, re-
gistration certificates, and other supplies
and upon completion OF registration re-
ceive the registration cards and compile
the statistics required.
%. Registration in the several towns,
shall be accomplished by the town clerk
at office of the town clerk on the date
proclaimed.
3. The average registration per town
will approximate 18, in the larger towns
and cities it is anticipated that it will
not exceed 100 except in the cities of
Burlington, Barre and Rutland. Regis
tration can easily be accomplished,in the
larger cities by the appointment Of
voluntary registrars to act in cooperation
with the city clerk One assistant regis
trar for each fifty to be registered will be
sufficient.
a. Prior to the date designated by the
president for registration city officials
will prepare the usual voting place pro-
viding such chairs, tables, and stationery
as may be needed.
IS. On June 5, 1917 nearly / 200 patriotic
Vermonters assisted in the registration
of nearly 10000 men. Less than Is
claimed compensation for that service.
In view of this demonstration of unselfsh
loyalty, it is confidently expected that no
person who participates as registrar
or assistant in this new registration will
desire or expect co mpensation."

The hall was packed with people.
There were 1900 seats arranged and
probably 200 people stood up in the
rear of the auditorium and the gal
lery unable to secure seats. On the
platform were judges of the courts,
state officers, members of the Ver-
mont Public Safety committee and
prominent people from outside the
city. The meeting was splendid
success. About 400 people attend
ed the afternoon session making
an aggregate attendance of 34O0.
