Red Cross headquarters today gave out the first official report of the recent formation in Pariss of the League of Red Cross societies, the purpose of which is to unify the Redi Cross organizations of the world in a systematic effort to anticipate, diminish and relieve misery produced by disease and disaster. Red Cross societies of the United States. Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan arc founder members of the league, which is the outgrowsh of the confer ences of the worlds Red Cross leaders and medica. experts held in Paris and Cannes over period of five months.
 The objects of the league as formally set forth in it's articles of association are: | To encourage and promote i'll every country in the world a duly au-. thorized voluntary national Red Crossi organization, having as purposes the im- provement of health prevention of dis ease and mitigation of 'suffering through out the world, and to secure the cooper, ation of such organizations for these pur- poses. 2. To promote the welfare of mankind by furnishing a medium for bringing within reach of all peoples the benefits to be derived from present known facts and new contributi ions to science, and medical knowledge and their application. 8. To furnish a medium for co-ordinating relief 'worI.in case. of great national or international disasters.
 The original members of the league are to invite the Red Cross societies of the other nations to join, each organiza-, tion to preserve it's national autonomy and all to remain constituent members, of the International Red Cross of Geneva. The control of the league will be by gen eral council. composed of representatives of all members of the Red Cross socie- ties meeting at designation periods. A governing board of 15 members will be chosen by the general council to direct the affairs. of the league in the intervals between such meetings. Henry P Da- vison of New York. formerly chairman of the war council of the American Red Cross, and since January yecharman of the committee of Red Cross societies which formulated the leagues programme, is chairman of the legaues first board of governors. Other members of the board chosen thus far are; Sir Arthur Stanley

of the British Red Cross, Comte Kergor- clay of the French Red Cross, Count Frascara of the Italian Red Cross and Professor Ninagawa of the Japanese Red Cross. The board selected Geneva as the headquarters of the league and took steps toward putting into practical effect the world health programme shaped dur
 ing the recent conferences at Cannes.
 Tho purpose of the league of Red Cross societies are recognized by the league of nations in article No. 9 of the latter organizations covenant, which reads; 'T'he members of the league agree to encourage and promote the es- tablishment and cooperation of duly au- thorized voluntary National Red Cross organizations. having as purposes the improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffer- ing throughout the world"
 While 1t is expected that the league of Red Cross societies will establish inti- mate relations with the league of na- ticns, it should be understood clearly that the former, being a purely voun- tary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian, nongov- lernrnental organization, has no statutory connection with the league of nations or with any government
 Mir Davison, commenting on the League of Red Cross societies, said:
 ''The Red Cross societies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan have for several months worked necessarily, through their representa- tives to devise an agency which could adequately cope with the world prob lcn1s of disease and disaster. From the outset it was clear to us all there was no institution in the world so well adapted to the task as the Red Cross because of the peculiar hold which 1t has upon the hearts of all peoples, ire spective of differences of race and re- igion; because of it's 50 years of honor able service in all quarters of the globe because of the amazing development of its powers in the recent war; because of the axniety of it's membership not to lose the opportunity for service

SPANISH CLUB MEETS

The Spanish-American club held an in- teresting meeting Thursday evening in the Civic association rooms. Some novel features were introduced into the pro- gramme, all of which were designed to give the participants greater facility in the use of the Spanish language.
 Miss Elizabeth SteadhaIn made an ln' teresting talk on "The Last Resting Place of Columbus" She reviewed the latest investigations on this subject, and drew the inevitable conclusion that San.o Domingo and not Spain can truthfully claim the honor of guardian of the re- mains of the grand admiral.
 The Spanish club meets every Thurs day evening from to 10 in the rooms of the Civic association, and welcomes all persons interested in the study of the Spanish language and literature. and matters relating to Latin America.
