Dr. Livingston Farrand Permanent
Leader of Peaco Organization.
Washington. (Special.) 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, Paris whenjhe
armistice was signed, summoned a
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
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
ble the consummation of this plan un
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 Ited Cross activity dur
ing the war. Although it has 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-
rnnd 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 at great sacrifice by millions
of our people.
"The effort of the American Red
Cross In this war has constituted by
far the largest voluntary gifts of
money, of hand and heart, 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 any part In
this war effort of the Red Cross Is en
titled to congratulate himself. No
thanks from anyone could be equal In
value to the self satisfaction every
one should feel for the part' taken.
Fully 8,000,000 American women have
exerted themselves In Red Cross serv
ice. Has Over 17,000,000 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
Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000
full paid members outside of the mem
bers of the Junior Red Cross, number
ing perhaps 9,000,000 school children
additional.
"The chief effort of the Red Cross
during the war bus 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. Army recent
ly said : 'The Red Cross has been an
enterprise as vast as 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 been upon an exception
ally large scale where service has
been rendered to the 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, but the Red 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 still receiv-
Ing attention. At these hospitals tjje
Red Cross supplies huts and facilities
for the amusement and recreation of
the men as they become convalescent,

"As for work among the French peo
ple, now that hostilities have ceased
the French themselves naturally pre
fer as far as possible to provide for
their own. It has accordingly been de
termined that the guiding principle of
Hed Cross policy in France henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regard to
tts every responsibility, but to direct
its efforts primarily to nsslstlni
French relief societies. The liberate
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by the government Into
small districts, each oHlclally assigned
to a designated French relief organi

but the American lied Cross Is niaklnfr
an effort to relieve Immediately the
more acute distress.
An extensive group of American
workers has been dispatched to carry
vitally needed supplies, and to work
this winter in the various Balkan coun
tries, 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 lust reached Po
land with doctors and nurses, medical
supplies, and food for sick children
and Invalids. An American Red Cross
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 eo-operatlon has been
given to the Armenian and Syrian Re
lief Commission, which was the only
agency able to carry relief In the In
terior of Turkish dominions.
Red Cross Will Continue.
"Red Cross effort Is thus far flung.
It will continue to be so. But the
movement represented by this work
has likewise assumed an Intimate place
in the daily life of our people at home.
The army of workers which has been
recruited and trained during the war
must not be demobilized. All our ex
perience in the war shows clenrly that
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 be ,
It Is yet impossible to forecast. We
know that so long as there is an Amer
ican army in the field the Red Cross
will 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 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
itable "Peace on earth good will to
men," 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 pence which must lie
ahead of us the Hed Cross will require
the ablest possible leadership, and
must enjoy the continued support, sym
pathy, and participation In Its work
of the whole American people, It 1

An exchanse published at Lester
shire,. New York, has the following
relative to one of its citizens who is
going to build a house of lumber
from Illinois, millwork from Iowa,
and nails from a Chicago mail order
house.
"One of our citizens is going to
build a house next spring. He ex-

believe it is more blesed to receive

no obligation to reciprocate. Ho

wrong that he should be expected to
help support the town.
"When he asks you to stop a mo
ment to adimre his new house you
might also stop a moment longer to
admire his gall.

will probably get stung."
