As to this phase of the work Surgeon (Ten oral Ireland of the U. S) Army recent- • ly said: ‘The Red Cross lias been an. enterprise as vast as 'the war itself.

Sipee then some 6,000 persons have been upon the rolls in France, of whom 7,000 were actively engaged when the armistice was signed. An Indication of the pres ent scale of the work will he obtained from the fact that the services of 6.000 persons are still required. “Our American Expeditionary Force having largely evacuated England, the activities of the Red- Cross Commis sion there are naturally upon a dimin ishing scule -perlod.—Actlvo operations TTFe si til in progress In Archangel and Siberia. “Tine work In Italy 1ms been almost entirely On behalf of the civilian pop ulation of that country.

Supplies and Personnel to Near East. “The occasion for such concentra tion of effort In Italy, England. Bel gium und even in Frunce having natur- ully and normally diminished, it has boon possible to divert supplies and personnel in large measure to the aid of those people In the Near East who have hitherto been inaccessible to out side assistance, but whose sufferings have been upon an appalling scale. The needs of these peoples are so vast that government 'atone ran meet them, hut the American Red Cross is making an effort to relieve immediately the more acute distress. "An ex tensive, jeroup of .‘American workers has been dispatched to carry vitally needl'd supplies, and to work this winter R»-the various Balkan enun- tries. In order to fo-ordinqte.their ac tivities, a Balkan eocnml**don hua been estHhlishisl. with headquarters at Koine, Italy, from which |x*lnt alone ail the Balkan centers can l« reached promptly. ^ “A cnotmlftnlos has Just reached Po land wltlt doctors and nurses, medical supplies, and food for sick children und Invallda.

Red Cross Will Continue. “Red Cross effort is thus far flung. It will continue to be so. But the mnvemeut represented hy this work tuts likewise uKStinied an Intimate pluce in the daily life of our people at home. The army of workers which has been recruited and trained during the war must not he demobilized. All our ex- Iieriencc in the war shows clearly that I there is an unlimited Held for service » of the kind which can he |ierfernied I with peculiar effectiveness by the Red Cross. Wlmt its future ta>Us may he j It is yet Impossible to forecast. W-e -| know that so long as there Is an Amer- j lean army in the field the lied Cross will have a s|>eeial function to perform. “Nothing could be of greater impor tance to the American Red Cry*s than the plans Just set in motion hy the five great I ted Cross societies «TT 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 u movement tfv tin* people of an individual nation, but an ut tempt to arouse a IL people to a sense of their responsibility 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-’ 'liable “Peace on earth good will to men,” apd 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 daily recurrent tn the lives of nil peoples. . t “For accomplishing i,t» mission In the years of -peace wnich must lie ahead of us tfie Red Cress will require t lie ablest possftde leadership, and must enjoy the continued support, sym pathy, and participation in its work of ttie whole American ijeople. It is particularly fortunate that such a.man as Dr. Livingston Farrand should huve been selected ns the permanent head of the organization. The unstinted .fashion In which all our people gave of themselves throughout the war is the host assurance that our Red Cross will continue- to receive that• co-opera- tiorv which-will tqake its w yrk a source of pride and inspiration, tv every Amer ican.” Mr. Davison, as chairman of the In ternational Cmnmlssiou of the Ameri can U«*d Cross, has undertaken to rep resent the American Red Cross in the preparation of the program for extend ed Red Cross activities, and will spend [ the next several mouths in Europe In consultation wltA other lted Cross soci eties for that purpose.
