RED CROSS CALLS
TO MANY NURSES

washington, Oct. 10.-Carrying for
ward its program to meet the emer-
gency and relieve suffering among the
refugees in the Near East, the Amer
lean Red Cross has cabled to all of
It's nurses now on duty in Vienna
Budapest, Paris and Constantinonle
to hasten to Athens for service in
the relief operations. Announcement
OF the second step Of the organization
IN furtherance of it's efforts in tho
Near East was made tonight by Chair
man John Barton Payne at the con-
ventlon of the Red Cross here.
Chairman Payne told the convcn-
ton that while there would be a Joint
appeal for funds for the Red Cross
and the Near East relief, control of
the funds is to vested generally in
the Red Cross. 1t will take the "cn
tire responsibility of dealing with the
situation in Europe; that is, in Greece
and OH the islands and at CONSTANT
npole," he said.
Il have been advised by the secre
tary of state" Chairman Payne con-
tlnued, chat the refugees have been
driven onto the European side so that
the emergency exists in Europe and
not in Smyrna.
The Near East relief has a large
task IN dealing with orphans, l think
1t has something like 100000 orphans,
which forms for it definite and per-
manent task. But if there is an emor-
gency, that is, if there are people in
Smyrna or at any other point in Asia
Minor who require emergent attention
1t Will be given by the Near East re-
lief"
The Red Cross is sending a COM
mission to Greece, which will have
complete charge of it's activities in
that part of the world, the chairman
announced. The personnel of the
commission OF the program it is to
follow were not disclosed.
The convention today heard. in adj
ditlon 70 Chairman Payne's outline of
the emergency program, addresses by
Miss Mabel Il. Boardman, national
secretary of the Red Cross, and DR..
Livingston Farrand, former chairman
of the organization and now president
of Cornell university.
Several other resolutions were
adopted, among them one calling for
closer cooperation with the veterans
bureau in the handling of claims of
disabled former service men. The
work of the organization in peace time
served as mooted question, there
pelng a difference of opinion as to
the length the Red Cross should 90
with as a program outside of meeting
emergency demands such as is pre-
sented in the Near Eastern situation.
Dr.. Farrand said the essence of vi
tality in the American Red Cross was
its activity and no quiescence. It
must not, however, he added, become
great charities society. At the same
time he declared that the organization
should continue peace time work, re-
ferring to the problems raised by
floods, fire and other disasters. 1t
also, he said, could do much toward
lessening infant mortality and pre-
venting diseases like tuberculosis.

would have shouted for happiness and
Joined the parade. AS 1t was, he

about in their happiness, calling to
him the news that he did not want to

would be clustered with prospectors,
and that the little town would blossom

rich silver mines of the state.

feated. He felt small and mean not
to be able to join the celebration.

that he had not given the ultimatum to

cepted the offer made him-and gone
on, out of the fight forever.
