TO FORMULATE PROGRAMME

After the conference at Geneva we of the five Red Cross organizations con- stituted ourselves a committee to be known as the Committee of Red Cross Societies to formulate and to propose to the Red Cross societies of the world a programme of Red Cross activities in the interest of humanity. In response to the request of our committee, the interna- tional committee has called conference oe Red Cross societies of the world to be held in Geneva 30 days after peace shall have been declared.
 Our committee will now adjourn to Cannes, where we will devote ourselves to the formHation of programme.
 'Our present thought is that our first efforts should cover the subjects of pub- lie health and sanitation, tuberculosis. nursing, child welfare and malaria, and certain other infectious diseases.
 aeIt is expected that there will be, estab- lished in Geneva a bureau which will de- vote itself, not to the actual study for human diseases, but to the co-ordina- tion of the results of such studies
 "The result of this programme, as we see it. may be briefly stated under three heads:
 ''First-It would awaken the peoples in every country of the world to sense of their obligation to their fellow men and tkere would naturally follow in each country an awakening to the needs with in that country and a determination to meet them as far as possible.
 "Second-It would throw light on the darkest corners of the earth and would give to all the world the full benefit of scientific study and experiepce in the and cure of disease. / "Third-It would make possible the im- mediate cooperation on the part of the various organizations to render aid when necessary in the in the case of great dis asters."

An address of wonderful appeal and one that touched the heart of every one or the large audience present was made by Countess Constance de Caen at the suffrage luncheon held yesterday at the Southern club. With deep feeling she told of the atrocities of the German horde that invaded northern France. In a lighter vein she related some of her activities on behalf of the American av- tude of the people of Branch for the part that America had played to free them from the ravages of the Hun
 The spacious dining room was filled to it's capacity when Mrs. W. l.. Murdoch called the meeting to order, and after stating it's purpose introduced Mrs. Solon Jacobs, who made a short and instruc- tive address on the status of the equal suffrage movement in the United States. Mrs. Jacobs stated the adoption of the federal amendment was the logical so- lution of the situation and spoke conf- dently of it's early passage

DAWSON TELLS OF RED GROSS PLANS
 FOR THE FUTURE
Situation in World Tragic Beyond Description, He Declares at
 Dinner

Paris. February 21.-Members of the peace delegations of all the powers inter- ested in the proposed league of nations rious countries, together with several hundred newspapers representatives from allied and neutral countries at a dinner here tonight heard H. P. Davidson of the American Red Cross announce interna- tional Red Cross plans for world welfare.
 MT. Davison has been named chairman of a committee of Red Cross societies representing the organizations in the United States, Great Britain, Italy, France and Japan "to formulate and pro- pose to the Red Cross societies Of the world programme of extended Red Cross activities in the interest of hu- manity.'
 A memorandum distributed among the guests told of what the combined Red Cross societies of the five powers pro posed to do and MT. Davison explained and summarized the plans and prepara- tions.
 'The situation in the world today is tragic beyond description" he said The NASsA Oos' III tiC WOIlu IS, Ol course, greater than ever before, and beyond the com prehension. To me, therefore, it is clear that while the leading men of the world are convened to draw up conditions of peace, there is no man or set of men who can by pencil and paper establish a peace which can endure in the presence of the distress throughout the world. I refer, or course, primarily to conditions in those countries which have suffered di- rectfy from the war"
 Mir. Davison alluded to the work of all the Red Cross societies and the coun- tries represented in them, including Amer ica, with it's 100000 contributors. He continued:
 The Red Cross organizations of the five great powers represented here to- night recently held conference at Cannes, where views were exchanged and general programme adopted. We ad- jcurned from Cannes to Geneva, where we called upon the International Red Cross and presented our suggestions.
