 As for the work among the French people, now that hostiities have ceas- ed, the French themselves naturally prefer. as far as possible, to provide for their own It has rdingly been determined that the guiding principle Of Red Cross policy in France henceforth shall be to have punctiious regard to it's every re- spons.biIty, but to direct it's efforts primarily to assisting French relief societies. The liberated and devas- tated regions Of France have been divided by the government into small districts. each officially assigned to q designated French relief organiza- ton. To these orga anizations the Red Cross is contributing supplies and personnel. Where local organizations cannot immediately assume their du- ties the Red Cross is seeking to pro- vide relief for the sick and the help less whose necessities cannot wait.
 Our forces having largely evacu- ated England, the activities of the Red Cross commission there are nat urauy on 8, diminishing scale. Active operations are still in progress in ArchangeF and Siberia. Among the BeIgians wandering homeless through out France the Red Cross made a special effort to care for the women and children. The work in Italy has been almost entirely on behalf of the civilian population. The American Red Cross is arranging now to trans
 
 its efforts at civilian relief in Italy and Belgium. Red Cross efforts in Italy. Belgium. England and France having diminished, it has been possi- bIe to divert supplies and personnel in large measure to the aid of those people in the Near East who have hitherto been inaccessible to outside assistance but whose sufferings have been upon an appalling scale. The needs of these people are so vast that governments alone can meet them, but the Red Cross is making an effort to relieve immediately the more acute distress.
 Red Cross effort is thus far flung It will continue to be so. The army of workers which has been recruited and trained during the war must not be demobilized. All our experience in the war shows clearly that there is an unlimited field service of the kind which can be performed with peculiar effectiveness by the Red Cross
 Nothing could be of greater inn portance to the American Red Cross than the plans just set in motion by the five great Red Cross societies Of the world to develop a program or ex- tended activities in the interest of humanity. The conception involves not alone efforts to relieve human suffering but to prevent it; not alone a movement by the people of an indi- vidual nation. but an attempt to arouse all people to a sense of their responsibility for the welfare of their fellow beings throughout the world It is a program both ideal and prac- tical-ideal in that its supreme aim is nothing less than veritable Peace on earth, good will to mem and prac- | teal in that it seeks to take means and measures which are actually available and make them effective Tn meeting without delay the crisis which is daily recurrent in the lives l of all people

DAWSON ISSUES STATEMENT FOR
 THE RED CROSS

Washington, March Henry P. Davison, chairman, today issued the following statement on behalf of the War Council of the American Red Cross, which was appointed by Presi- dent. Wilson on May 10, 1917, and which ends its existence tomorrow:
 ''Immediately the armistice was signed the War Council instituted studies to determine when the strictly war work of the organization would have been sufficiently matured to en- able the direction of affairs to be re- sumed by the permanent staff. Henry P. Davison, being in Paris when the arrnistice was signed, summoned conference there of the heads of all the Red Cross commissions in Europe to canvass the situation. After con sidering all the factors it was con clu6ed to make the transition on March l. The very fortunate choice of Dr. Livingston Farrand as the new chairman of the central committee, and thereby the permanent chief eX- ecutive of the Red Cross, makes pos sible the consummation of this plan under the most favorable conditions.
 During the past nearly 21 months the American people have given in cash and supplies to the American Red Cross more than S400,OOO, ,0OV. No value can be placed upon the contributions of service, which have been given without stint. and often times at great sacrifice, by millions of our people. In this outpouring of service the women of America have played a signal part, wonderful in both magnitude and spirit. Fully
 
 erted themselves in Red Cross service. Into their work they have put an amount of love and devotion that can not be measured. In speaking of this effort of our women through the Red Cross, General Pershing recently said to Mr. DaYison: The women of America deserve q large share of the credit for the successes of the Amer ican forces
 When we entered the war the American Red Cross had about 5oO,- 900 members. Today, as a result of the recent Christmas membership roll call, there are upwards of IT, 100000 full paid members outside of the Junior Red Cross, numbering perhaps e,ooO.000 school children.
 The Red Cross endeavor in France has naturally been upon an excep- tionally large scale, where service has been rendered to the American army and to the French army and the French people as well. Hospital emergency service for our army in France has greatly diminished but the Red Cross Is still being called upon for service on large scale in the great base hospitals, where thou sands of American sick and wounded are still receiving attention. Our Army of Occupation in Germany was followed with medical units prepared to render the same emergency aid and supply service which was the primary ! businasz of the Red Cross during hos

The other Sim F'einers arrested were distributed in order to avoid concentrating them at any one Jail . Because of De EaIera's importance the strictest watch was maintained upon the prison. No friend or rela- tive was allowed to see him or his comrades, and the most stringent cen sOrship possible was maintained over their mail
 The feeling in Ireland is intense because these men. against whom no charges have been made, should be kept in prison. Included among the thirty-seven members of Parliament. After the general elections were over, the Republican members of the Irish Parliament met and a committee was appointed to take charge of the ques- ton of the release of the incarcerated comrades. The first result of that committees activity was the escape of De Valera.
 The first task was to survey the prison. Just outside the back gate was a small patch of ground on which the prisoners were allowed to exercise under guard This place was sur entanglements.

 This man appeared again several days later and again sang q ballad in which he told De Valera that the rear exit of the prison was the most feas- fble for the attempt and asked De Valera to secure an impression of the key to the gate.
 The impression of the key was se- cured I am not cutie sure of the method, but I presume it is the same as the one I myself employed at one time, which was making a paste of bread and soap and then distracting the warder's attention while the big key was slapped into the paste for a. second. This impression was wrapped in paper with a stone and thrown to the singer in the garden plot.
