RED CROSS NEARING
FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY
Batnrday, August 22, Will B the Half.
Century Hark of the Bed Cross
Treaty at Geneva.
Saturday, August 22, 1914, will be
the fiftieth anniversary of the adop
tion of the Red Cross treaty or the
Treaty of Geneva.
Reviewing the history of the tied
Cross as a world-wide institution, an
editorial in the American Red Cross
Magazine for July will say in part:
"Fifty years have rolled by since tie
holding of that first international con
vention in Geneva, Switzerland, when
the Red Cross treaty was adopted.
That was on August 22, 1813 1. For a
half century the humanitarian arms of
the civilized nations of the world have
been marching to the relief of distress
ed peoples under the banner of the red
cross on a white ground. Almost every
where human beings exist today the
Red Cross is recognized as the insignia
of mercy, succor and neutrality.
"Partly due to the work of the Unit
ed States sanitary commission is safe
guarding the health and alleviating the
suffering of the sick and wounded dur
ing the civil war, conferences were held
in Geneva in 18(K1 and 1864, at which
first 14, then 25 countries were repre
sented, out of which grew the organ
ization and recognition of permanent
Red Cross societies throughout the
world. Field agents of the United
States sanitary commission subsequent
to the convention of 18G4 wero tile first
relief workers to ne the red cross sign
and flag in actual service.
"In this second conference the ac
tions of the convention of 1863 were re
viewed and the Rod Cross treaty, pro
posing a new rule of international law,
was entered into. The United States
was represented by her minister, Mr.
George C. Fogg, mid by Mr. Charles S.
P. Bowles, the Uiiropeau agent of the
sanitary commission. According to
these gentlemen, the documents and
statistics telling of the practical effects
of the efforts ef the sanitary commis
sion in preventing and alleviating suf
fering during the civil war proved of
the utmost value to the second Geneva
congress, and Mr. Bowles goes so far as
to eay that but for these visiblo demon
strations of the I enefits of organized
relief work this congress probably
would have been a failure.
"The resolutions and recommenda
tions may be suimuaiized as follows:
"First That each government ex
tend its sanction, authority and pro
tection to sanitary commissions and
their relief corps.
"Second That in time of war the
privilege of neutrality be extended to
ambulances, military hospitals, officials
and attaches of the medical services,
regulars and volunteers, to nurses and
to the inhabitants in the theater of war
who should receive and care for tho
wounded in their houses.

PROBABLE FRANCE j
WILL TAKE A HAND
Paris, July 6. The chamber oi dep
uties today called a secret session for
tomorrow to discuss government parti
cipation in the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion at San Francisco. A committee to
day reported favorably for a govern

was expected to adopt the report.
Paris newspapers today urged trades
men to reconsider their nnnnsitinn to
gcvernment participant.
"If the fair is boycotted," said one
newspaper, "France will be eutting off
htr nose to SDite her face. If Fr!rh-

New York, July 0. Announcement
; was made today that all preliminary ar
rangements Dave been completed for
the wordless mystery spectacle, "The
Miraele", which will" be given in Madi
son Square Gar.lcn next winter.
"The Miracle", by Dr. Karl Veil
moeller, has just concluded a remark
ably successful engagement in the
Circus Schumann, one of the largest
ampitheatres in the world, at Berlin.
After an engagement in St. Petersburg,
the spectacle will be brought here.
"Ine Miracle" is based on the
legen of a nun who forsook, her vows
and went out into the world for seven
! years, only to return and be finally
redeemed. The original European cast
and production is to be seen here. This
cast consists of 2,000 trained players.
including a choir of 900 voices and au
orchestra of 200. The production repre
sents an outlay of nearly half a mil
lion dollars, and is one of the most
stupendous theatrical undertakings
known.
To make the things possible In New
i'ork. it was necessary to interest some
of New York's wealthiest men and
women in the enterprise. A fund ef
100,000 was subscribed by some of tno
chief factors in the Metropolitan Opera
Company, among them being Otto H.
Kahn, Mrs. Cornelius Vandcrbilt, Mrs.
J. Borden Ilarriman, flanence II. Mac
key, Benjamin II. Guinness, Daniel
Guggenheim, Hugo Reisinger and others.
Tho beckers of "The Miracle" are
not seeking financial reward but are
lending their support because of the
I moral uplift of the play. Max Bab-'
inoil, managing director of Mile. Anna 1
Pavowa, the Russian Danseuse, has been
chosen managing director of the Amer
ican production. The combined fin
ancial resources of those behind the
production total more than $200,000,000.
There will be seven or more "Potash
& Perlmutter" road shows next season,
according to the producers. To secure
competent "P. & P.'s" to lead these
shows, a number of Hebrew comedians
began last Monday to work on the parts
now essayed by Barney Bernard and
Alex C'arr, who created them in the
"Potash & Perlmutter" show at the
Cuban theatre.
While Bernard and Carr are taking a
much needed rest, the men who will
play "P. & P." on the road, will take
turns leading at the Cohan. Among
these are Harry First and Phil White,
Julian Rose and Julius Taiuien, Jules
Jordon and Lew Welch, Sam Liebort
and Paul Burns, Meyer Harris and Nat
Jerome, and Arthur Ross and Lew
I Williams.
There will be mighty few of the mil
lions whom Joe Weber has made laugh,

There is a saying that everything in the
show business has had Weber in it.
There is one regret, It is that Weber
and his similarly famous partner Fields,
may not, as was hoped, do some of their
work for the moving pictures. A. U.
Woods almost bad the comedy team
lined up to a piece, 'High Cost of Liv
ing," before the films but Weber's re
tirement, so the latter says, puts, an end
to the hope.
It was just like Weber, by the way,
who will agree with him thnt thirty
eight years of stage life is enough, .loe
Weber is retiring to assume the ninniigo
inent of his rather extensive theatrical
business. The famous comedian has
been doing comedy through the wholo
of his thirty-eight years in the game,
to temper his rather doleful announce
ment of retiring with a dash, of fun.
In retiring from tho stage Weber de
clared he would not retire as world's
champion of the Dutch-Irish astime
challenges, ho explained, from any of
tlw other (1,000,(100 or more four-flushers
who :aim to hold the title of world's
champion pinochle player.
"Step Lively", the three act farce
by John Emerson and Robert Baker,
which had its premiere at Atlantic
City's Appollo Theatre a woek or two
ago, ought to fill a large vacant spot in
aumsementdom.
At times, it is true, there is a bur
lesque tinge to the piece, by reason of
its multiplicity of impossible situation",
but all iu all it is a moving piece ail
thoroughly enjoyable. It ought to be ik
hit on Broadway next fall, or sooner, if
(hoy bring it here early.
Convicts in tho eastern penitentiary
of Pennsylvania are largely for stat-
I wide prohibition. This will be regarf
ied by some as expert testimony.
