Davison Heads International American Red Cross Commission. v Dr. Livingston Farrand Permanent ^ Laador of Peace Organization. Washington.—(Special.) 1 —Henry P. Davison as chairman issues the follow ing statement on behalf of the War Council of the American Red Cross: “To the American People: “The War Council of the American Red Cross appointed by President Wil son on May 10, 1917, to carry on the work of the American Red Cross dur ing the war, at their request and by vote of the Central Committee, ceased at midnight, February 28. “Immediately the armistice was signed the* War Council instituted studies to determine when "the strict- ly 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 P^ris when the armistice was signed, y summoned a conference there of the heads of all the Red Cross Commissions in Europe to canvass the situation. After <?bn- sidering all the factors it was con cluded to make the transifion on f March 1. 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 possi- blfe^htf'consummation 6f this plan un- "cier the most favorable conditions. Accounts Audited by War Department “Detailed reports to Congress and, a complete audit of its accounts by the War Department will constitute the final record of Rod Cross activity dur ing the war. Although it'iias been the rule to make public all expendi tures when authorized and to give de tailed Information relative to all work undertaken,, the War Council in turn ing over its responsibilities to Dr. Far rand and his associates desire to give a brief resume of Red Cross war time activities to the American people, to whom the Red^ Cross belong, and whose generous contributions have made pos sible all that has been accomplished. “During the past nearly twenty-one months the American people ’have given in cash and supplies to the American Red Cross" more than $400,- 000,000. No value can be placed upon the contributions of service which have been given without stint and of-- tentimes ttt-great saerffiee by rriHHons- of our people.’ “Tlie effort of the American Red Cross In this war bus'constituted by far the largest voluntary gifts of money, of hand and hearf, ever con tributed "purely for the relief of hu man suffering. Through the Red Cross the heart and spirit of the whole American people have been mobilized to take care of'our own, to relieve the misery incident to the war, and also to reveal to the world the supreme ideals of our national life: “Everyone who has had an F P ar t In this war effort of the Red Cross is en titled to congratulate himself. No thanks from anyone could he equal In value to the self satisfaction every one should feeV for the part taken? Fully 8,000,000 American women have exerted themselves In Red Cross serv ice. Has Over 17,0QP,000 Adult Members. “When we entered the war the American Red Cross had about 500,000 members. Today, as the result of the recent Christmas membership Roll Cail, there are upwards of 17,000,000 full paid members outside of the mem bers of the Junior Red Cross, number ing perhaps O.OQQ.OOO school children nddltibnal. “The chief effort of the Red Cross during the war hay been to care for our men In service and to aid our army and navy wherever the Red Cross may be called on to assist. As to this phase of the work Surgeon Gen eral Ireland of the U. S. Array recent ly said: ‘The Red Cross lias*been nn enterprise as vast ns the war itself. From the beginning It has done those things which the Army Medical Corps wanted'done, but could not do Itself.’ “The Red Cross endeavor In France has naturally boon upon nn excep*ion- ally large scale where service ,'ins been rendered to the American A:my and to Mie French Army and fhe French p* o-Oo as well, the latter par ticularly during the trying period when the Allied World was waiting for the American Army to arise In force and power. JIos;" -’l emergency service for our army in i '- Mice lias greatly diminished, but the i;/<! Cross Is still being called upon for service upon a large scale in the great base hospitals, where thousands of Ameri can sick and wounded are sflll reoeiv- Ing at tent Lon At these hospitals the fled Cross supplies hu f « nn'd fa duties for the amusement ajuL recrenMon of the men as they become'convalescent. Our Army of Occupation In Germany was followed with Medical units pre pared to render the same emergency aid and rippty service which was the prlmgr/ business of the Red Cress during hostilities. The Army Canteen ■•rvtce along the lines of travel ha* actually increased since the armistice. “As for work among the French peo ple, now that hostilities have ceased, the French themselves naturally pre fer aa far as possible to provide for their own. It ha/accordingly been de termined that the guiding principle of Red Cross policy in France henceforth shall be to have punctilious regard to, its every responsibility, but to direct Its efforts primarily to assisting French relief societies. The liberated and devastated regions of France have been divide^ by the government- Into small districts, each officially assigned to a designated French relief organi zation. “The American Red Cross work In Franco was initiated by a commission of eighteen men who landed on French shores June 13, 1917. Since then some 9,000 persons have been upon the rolls in France, oi wlibra 7,000 were actively engaged when the armistice was signed. An indication of the pres ent scale of the work will be obtained from the fact that the sendees of 6,000 persons are still required. “Our American Expeditionary Force having largely evacuated England, the activities of the R.ed Cross Commis sion there are naturally upon a dimin ishing scale period. Active operations are still In progress.In Archangel and Siberia. “The work In Italy has been almost entirely on behalf of the civilian pop ulation of that country. In the critlcal hours of Italy’s struggle the American people, through their Red Cross, sent a practical message of svmnathv and relief, for which the government and people of Italy have never ceased t<^ express their gratitude. Supplies and Personnel to Near East. “The occasion for such concentra- don of effort in Italy, England, Bel gium and even In France having natur- illy and normally diminished, It has ^een possible to divert supplies and personnel In large measure to the aid pf those people In the Near East who lave hitherto, been Inaccessible .to out- dde assistance, but whose sufferings have been upon an appalling scale. The needs of these peoples are so vast :hat government alone can meet them, put the Amerlcnp Red Cross Is making in effort to relieve Immediately the nore acute distress. ” - “An extensive group of AmeHcan workers has been dispatched to carry vitally needed supplies, and to work this winter In the various Balkan coun- .rles. In order to co-ordinate their ac tivities, a Balkan, commission has been established, with headquarters at Rome, Italy, from which point alone all the*Balkan centers can be reached promptly." “A commission has just reached Po land with doctors and nurses, medical supplies, and food for sick children and invalids. An American Red kJwiss * Commission has also been appointed to aid In relieving the suffering of Rus sian prisoners still confined in German prison camps. “An important commission is still working in Palestine. Through the war special .co-operation has been given to the Armenian and Syrian Re lief Commission, which was the only ftgeftey-ftb4e--t^-emr.v "relief lu- the he - terior of Turkish dominions. • Rfd Cross Will Continue. “Red Cross effort is thus far flung. .It will continue to he so. Rut the movement represented by this work has likewise assumed ni\ intimate place in the dally life of our people at home. The army of workers which has been recruited ami trained during the war must not be demobilized. AH our ex perience In the war shows clearly that there is an unlimited field for service of the kind which can he performed with peculiar effectiveness by the Red Cross. What its future tasks may he It Is yet impossible to forecast. We know that so long'as there is an Amer ican army In the field the Red Cross *vlll have a special function to perform. “Nothing could be of greater impor tance 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 of extended ac tivities In the Interest of humanity. The conception Involves not alone ef forts to relieve human suffering, but to prevent it; not alone a movement by the’people of an ^individual nation, but an attempt to arouse all people to a sense of’ their reshbnstbllRy for the welfare of their fellow beings through out the world. It Is a program both Ideal and practicaL Ideal In that its supreme aim Is nothing less than ver itable “Peace on earth good will to mei£” and practical In that it seeks to take means and measures which are actually available and make them ef fective in meeting without delay the crisis which is dally recurrent* In the lives of all peoples.- * “For accomplishing Its mission in the years of peace which must lie ahead of us the Red Cross will require the ablest possible leadership, and must enjoy the continued support, cym- pathy, and participation In its work of the whole American people. It Is particularly fortunate that such a man as Dr. Livingston Farrand should have been selected as the permanent head of the organization. The unstinted i fashion in which all our people gave of themselves throughout the war is the host assurance tl^nt our Red Cross will continue to receive, that co-opera tion which will make Its work a source of pride and Inspiration to every Amer ican.” Mr. Davisflto. as chairman of the In iernational Commission of the Ameri ^ can Red Cross, has undertaken to rep resent*tlie American Red,Cross in the preparation of the program for extend ed Red Cross activities, and will spend the .next several months in Europe In consultation with other Red Cross soci eties for that purpose.
