Ilenry P. Davison, being in Paris when tiie armistice was signed, summoned n conference there of the heads of all the Red Cross Commissions in Europe to canvass the situation. After, con sidering all the factors it was con cluded to make the transition on Marell 1. Tiie very fortunate choice of Dr. Livingston Farrand us the new chairman of tiie Central Committee, and thereby the permanent chief ex ecutive of the Red Cross, makes possi ble the consummation of this plan uii der 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 Red Cross activity dur ing the war. Although it has been tiie rule to make public all expend! lures 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 thut 1ms been accomplished. “During the past nearly twenty-one nlbnths tiie American people have given in cash and supplies to the American Red Cross more than $400,- 000,000. No value can be placed upon l lie contributions of service which have been given without stint and of tentimes at great sacrifice by millions of our people. “The effort of the American Red Cross In this war litis constituted by far the largest voluntary gifts of money, of hand and heart, ever con tributed purely for the relief of liu man suffering. Through Hie 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 1ms had any part In this war effort of the Red Cross Is on titled to congratulate himself. No thanks from anyone could be equal In value to the sdf satisfaction every one should feel for the part taken. Fully S.OOO.OiH! American women have exerted themselves In Red Cross serv let.

"The chief effort of the Red Cross during the war Ims been to enre fot our men In service and to aid out army and navy wherever the Red Cross limy he called on to assist.
