Henry ^^Kttrlson, being In Parts when the I Hsilce was signed, summoned a ^?erence there of the heads of all Hlted Cross Commissions In Europe ^?anvass the situation. After con Bring all the factors It was con Hled to make the transition on ^H-ch 1. The very fortunate choice ^K>r. Livingston Farrand as the new Hlrm.'.n of the Central Committee, thereby the permanent chief ex Htlve of the Red Cross, makes possl ? the consummation of this plan un the most favorable conditions. ^Eounta Audited by War Department ^PDetailed reports to Congress and a ^Bnpl<ve audit of Ua accounts by the Br Department will constitute tlie Hal record of Red Cross activity dur the war. Although It has been rule to make public all expendi bles when authorilzed and to give de Hled Information relative to all work ^fdertaken, the War Council In turn over Its responsibilities to Dr. Far Hnri and his associates desire to give Hbrief resume of Red Cross war time ^vtlvlties to the American people, to ^kom the Red Cross belong, and whose Hlnerous contributions have made pos Hble all that has been accomplished. ? "During the past nearly twenty-one Honths the American people have Hven in cash and sttpnlles to the Hmerlcan Red Cross more than $400, ?00,000. No value can l>f placed upon Hie contributions of service which Have been given without stint and of Hrntlme* at great sacrifice by mllllona our people. ? "The effort of the American ilea Vross in this war baa ooDatitnted by Bar the largest voluntary gifts of fcioney, of hand and heart, ever con tributed purely for the relief of hu Bnan suffering. Through the Bed Cross ?the heart and spirit of the whole ?American people have been mobilized Ku tuke care of our own, to relieve the Mmisery Incident to the war, and also ?to reveal to (he World the supreme Ideals of our national life. "Everyone who harf"liad any port 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 Itoll Call, there are upwards of 17,000.000 fall 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 hns been to care for ? our men In service and to aid our enteQprtaa ss vast a* the T* F nyp: >< done those things which the Army Medical Oorps wanted done, but could not do Itself.' "The Red Cross endeavor in Franc* has naturally been upon an exception ally large scale where service hai been rendered to the American Armj and to the French Army and the French people aa well, the latter par tlcularlv during the trying period when the Allied World was waltlnf for the American Army to arise It force and power. Hospltnl pinergencj service for our army In Frnnce hai greatly diminished, bat the Red Crosi la still being called upon for aervlei upon a large scale In the great bam hospitals, where thousands of Amerl can sick and wounded are still receiv Ing attention. At theae hospitals tlx Red Cross supplies huta and facllltlei tor the amusement and recreation ol the men as they hecoro convalescent Our Army of Occupr.ion In German] was followed with Medical units pre I pared to render the aame emergencj ?Id and supply service which was th< piimnt? business of the Red Cms daring hostilities The Army Canteei aarvtce alone the Unas of travel hai P actually increased since the armistice. "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 Red Cross policy la France henceforth shall be to hare punctilious regard to lta every responsibility, bat to direct Its efforts primarily to aaslstlng French relief societies. The liberated and devastated regions of France have been divided by the government Into small districts, each otfldally assigned to a designated French relief organi zation. "The American Ited Cross work In France wss Initiated by a commission of eighteen men who landed on French shores June 13, 1917. Since then some 8,000 persons have been upon the rolls In France, of whom 7,000 were actively engaged when the armistice was signed. An Indication of the pres ent scale of the work will be obtained from the tact that the services of 8,000 persona are still required. "Our American Expeditionary Force having largely evacuated England, the activities of the Red Cross Commis sion there are naturally upon a dimin ishing scale period. Active operations are still In progress In Archangel and Siberia. "The work in Italy has been almost entirely on behalf of the civilian pop ulation of that country. In the critical hours of Italy's struggle the American people, through their Red Cross, sent a practical message of sympathy and relief, for which the government and people of Italy have never ceased to express their gratitude. 8uppHes and Personnel to Near East. "The occasion for such concentra tion of effort In Italy, England, Bel glum and even in France having natur ally and normally diminished, it has been possible 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 assistance, bnt whose sufferings have been upon an appalling scale. The needs of these peoples are so vast that government alone can meet them, but the American Red Cross Is making 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 tliu 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 Just reached Po land with doctors and nurses, medical supplies, and food for sick cblldret and Invalids. An American Red Crosf Commission has also been appointee to aid In relieving the suffering of Rus slan prisoners still confined In Germat prison camps. "An important commission Is stil working In Palestine. Through thi war special co-operation has beet given to the Armenian and Syrian Re lief Commission, which was the onl; 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 thi movement represented by this worl has likewise assumed an Intimate placi In the dally Ufe of our people at home The army of workers which has beei recruited and trained during the wa must not be demobilized.
