The Red Cross
IN 1SS4 delegates from 15 nations assembled at Geneva, Switz
erland; and drew up a . treaty of nine articles looking to the
. neutralization of hospitals, materials, nurses and surgeons in
. time of war and providing an emblem consisting in a red cross
on a white field which won world-wide approval. The associa
tion was introduced in the United States by Miss Clara Barton
in 1877 and President Arthur signed the Geneva treaty in 1882.
