Henry P. Iinvimifi, being In Paris when the armistice wan signed, summoned a conference there of the head of all the Red CroKR Commission in Kurope to niuvavx the aliuntlnn.

Aecounta Audited by War Department "Iietnlled report to Congress and a comiilete audit of Ha account by the War Department will constitute the Anal record of Red Cross activity dur ing the war. Although It has been Uie rule to nmke public all expend! turea when authorized and to give de tailed Information relative lo ull work uudertuki-n. the Wht Council In turn tug over Ita rcKiMiniilillltleN to Dr. Far- rand and hi aawiclutea desire to give brief rvautno Of lied Crone unr time L-acllvitle to- iha-.Americao-aoiie, to wnom tlie lied Cross belong, and whose generoua contributions huve mutle pos ilble all that has been accomplished. "During the past nearly twenty-one month the American eople hnve given In' cash and supplle to the American lied Cross more thnn S-i(K). 000.000. No value can be placed upon tne contributions of service which have been given without stint rind nf tentlmes at great aucrlflce by millions or our people. "Tho effort of the American Red Cross In this war hii constituted h far the largest voluntary gift of money, or nana ana heart, ever con trlbutcd purely for the relief nf hn man suffering. Through the lied Cross me neart , ami spirit or the whole American people have been mobilized to tako care of our own, to relieve the misery inciuent to the war, and also to reveal to the world the supreme ideniR or our national life. "Everyone who baa had any part In mia war effort or the Red Crosa I en titled to congratulate himself. No thanks from anyone could be equal In vaiue to tne self satisfaction every one should feel for the nit tnkn Fully 8,000,000 American women hare exertea themselves In Red Cross serv ice. Haa Over 17,000,000 Adult Member. "When we entered tlie war th American Red Crosa had about 600,000 members. Today, as the result of the recent Christmas membership Roll Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000 full paid members outside nf th mam. bers of the Junior Red Cross, number ing pernaps u.uuo.OOO school children additional. ."The chief effort of 'the Red Cross during the war has been to care for our men In service nnd to aid our army and nnvj wherever the Red Cross may be called on to assist. As to this phase of the work Surgeon Gen eral Ireland of the U. a Army recent ly said : 'The Red Cross has been an enterprise as vast as the war itself. From the beginning It ha done those things which the Army Medical Corps wanted done, but could not do Itself.' "The Red Cross endeavor In France haa naturally -been upon an exception ally large scale where service has been rendered to tha American Army and to the French Army and the French people 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. Hospital emergency service for our army In France has greatly diminished, bat the Red Cross la still being called upon for Service upon a large scale In the great, base bospltala. . where thousands of Ameri can sick and wounded are still receiv ing attention. At these hospitals the Red Cross supplies huts and facilities for the amusement and recreation of the men aa they become convalescent. Onr Army of Occupation In Germany waa followed with Medical units pre- pared to rendi-r Ihr lame emergency aldnd supply service' which was the primary tui'liir-M t the lied Cross during hostilities. The Army Canteen service along the line of travel ha actually Im reiiMed since tl.e nriiil.itlew "A for work among the French peo ple, now that hostllltle have censed, the French themm ives naturally pre fer a fur as possible to provide for their own. It ha accordingly been de termined tlint the guiding principle of Red Cross policy In Fram e henceforth shall be to have punctilious regurd to It every responsibility, but to direct It effort primarily to assisting French relief societies. The UliefHted and devastated regions of .France have been divided by tlie government Into smull districts, each officially assigned to a designated French relief organi sation., "The American Red Cross work In France was Initiated by a commission of eighteen men who landed on French shore June 13, Jan. Since then some 0,000 person have been u:x.n the rolls In Prance, of whom 7,0tX), were actively engnced when the nrm'stlce was signed. An Indication of the pres ent scale of the work will be 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 Cros Commis sion there tire naturally upon a dimin ishing acule period. Active operations are still In progress In Archangel and Siberia. 'The work In Italy baa been almost entirely on behalf of the civilian pop ulation of that country. In the critical hour of Italy' struggle the American people, through their Red Cross, sent a practical message of sympathy and relief," for which tlie government and people of Italy have never ceased to express their grutltude. 8upplles and Personnel to Near East "The occasion for such concentra tion of effort In Italy, England, Ilel glum and even In France having nntur ally and normally diminished. It hut been poxslhle 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 nsslstance, but whose sufferings nsve Keen upon an appalling scale, i The needs of these peoples are so vast that government alone can meet them, but the American Red Onus la mnblni, an effort to relieve Immediately the more acute distress. An extensive group of Amerlcnn worker luis been dlsnntched to rnrrv vitally needed supplies, and to work this winter In the various Hulkan coun tries. In order to co-ordinate their ac tivities, a Balkan commission bus been established, with headqimrtera at Home, Italy, from which point alone all tlUT.lkan centers can be reached promptly. , . "A commission has Just reached Po land with doctors nnd nurses, medical supplies, nnd food for sick children and Invalids. An American Red Cross Commission hn also been appointed io am in relieving the suffering of Rus sian prisoners still confined in German prison camps. "An lmKrtant commission Is still working In Palestine. Through the war special co-operation has been given to the Armenian and Svrlnn Ro- lief Commission, which wus the only agency auie to carry relief In the In terlor of Turkish dominions. Red Cross Will Continue. "Red Cross effort Is thus far flung. it win continue to be so. Dut tlie movement represented hv this nrk bas likewise assumed an Intimate place in tne daily life of our neonle at homo The army of workers which has been recruited and trained during the war must not be dcmobl Ized. All onr nr. perlence In the war shows clearly thai there Is an unlimited field for service of the kind which can be performed with peculiar effectiveness by the Red Cross. What Its future tasks may bt It Is yet Impossible to forecast We know that so lonr as there la an Amer ican army In the Held the Red Cross will nave a special function to perform. "Nothing could be of greater Impor tance to" the American Red Cross thnn the r!nns Just set in motion hv the five great Red Cross societies of the world io aeveiop a program or extended ac tivities In the Interest of humanity. The conception involves not alone ef forts to relieve human suffering, bui to prevent it! not alone 'a movemen' by the people of au Individual nation but an attempt to arouse all people t a sense of their responsibility for thi welfnre of their fellow beings through out the world. It Is a program boti Ideal and practical. Ideal In that iti supreme aim 1s nothing less than ver Itable "Pence .on iarth good will ti men," and practical In that It seeks tc take means and measures which an actually available and make them ef fective in meeting without delay thi crisis which Is daily recurrent In th lives of all peoples. "For accomplishing Its mission It the years of peace which must lit ahead of u the Red Cross will requln the ablest possible leadership, ant must eajoy the continued support, sym pnthy, and participation In Ita wort of the whole American people. It li particularly fortunate that such a mar as Dr. Livingston Farrand should havi been selected aa the nermanent hear of the organization. .' The unstlntec fashion In which ut - -- fiwm a,l of themselves throughout the war li me iirsi nHsurauce i lint our Ilea Crosi will continue to receive that cihopera Hon which will make Ita work a ami red of pride and Inspiration to every Amer lean."
