the convention at Geneve and
carried back to the Red Cross
societies the world over. Each
national Red Cross society can
then adapt this program to meet
their local needs.
The League of Nations, now
being worked out in Paris, is
designed to bring together all
peoples in an effort to avoid
war and insure freedom; the
League of Red Cross Societies,
now being worked out at Can
nes, is planned to bring together
the Red Cross workers of the
world in an effort to promote
the health and happiness of
their fellow-men.
Noblesse Oblige.-Since the
American Red Cross under the
stimulus of war has expanded
until lit stands at the head of
the national Red Cross Socie-

in var but in peace.
Il feel with you that it is not
only our opportunity but our
obligation to place our experien-
ce and the results of our efforts
at the disposal of the other
Red Cross organizations of the
world, and l am confident that
they also are in a position to

your belief that out of such a

in Geneve to act as a clearing
house for information and .ex-
pert advice, as well as to give
inspiration, for Red Cross acti-
vities in all the nations of. the
world. For it is believed that
the ideals for extending relief
in time of war should now be
applied with equal vigor and
effectiveness in time of peace.
This is the moment in the
worlds history when that great
power of voluntary service
evoked by war should be harm
essed into permanent action to
make the world better in time
of peace. The experience of
war has developed many things
in regard to civilian as well as
military relief. 1t has proven
a stimulus. to child welfare, it
has demonstrated the need of
protected motherhood and it
has shown the possibilities for
the treatment and prevention of
tuberculosis and other diseases.
DIR. Farrand, the new head of
the American Red Cross who
for years has made a study of
public health work, is now in
Europe to consult with special
lists and experts from other ma

has to offer will be laid before

T he Red Cross societies of
the world are to be brought
under one banner, the banner of
the welfare of all humanity.
Down at Cannes, that beautiful
French city on the Riviera,
there is now being worked out
a plan to be laid before a World
Red Cross Convention that is
called to meet in Geneva thirty
days after peace is signed.
Near this same city at this
same time of year a little
over a century ago, Napo-
leon landed on his return
from Elba. Now a conference
of Red Cross representatives is
in session there from the Unit
ed States, France, Great Bri-
tain, Italy and Japan who have
constituted themselves a "Com-
mittee of Red Cross Societies to
formulate and to propose to
the world an extended program
of Red Cross activities in the
interest of humanity"
The head of this committee
from the five largest Red Cross
societies of the world is Henry
P. Dawson, chairman of the for

lean Red Cross. Mr.. Dawson

Paris, presented a memorandum

Where CHASTITY Remains are Found and Exhumed
PROSPECT NOT BRIGHT FOR THE GREASERS

was awakened by the noise made by
the chickens, and slipping on his over
alls, jumper and shoes, without wait
ing to lace the latter, he went forth
to learn the cause of the commotion.
The parties, seeing that they were dis
covered in their burglary, seized
Breuss and beat his brains out with
some blunt instrument, rather than to
face chances of arrest for larceny.
Then they quickly dug hole, threw
the body into it, spread comforter
over it and filled the shallow hole
with dirt and threw some manure over
it all to hide as much as possible any
evidence of their crime.
The way the matter has finally
worked out reads almost like fairy
tale, but Fravert is well satisfied with
the outcome and quite certain that he
has the right parties behind the prison
bars.
So far as can be learned, Breuss has
no relatives except two sisters, one
living in Chicago and the other in
Roanoak, Virginia. At their request
Sheriff Fravert has been appointed
administrator of the estate and he has
completed the transfer Of the ranch 10
Garrett in accordance with the agree
ment Breuss made prior to his death.
