' “As for work among the French peo
ple, now that hostilities have ceased,
the French themselve? naluralty pre
fer as far as possible to provide for
their o\yn. It has accordingly been de
termined that the giilding principle of
Red Cross policy in France henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regard to
its every responsibility, but to direct
Its efforts prinmrlly to a.ssistlng
French relief societies. The liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by tiie government into
small districts, each officially assigned
to a designated French relief organi
zation.
“The American Red Cross work In
France was Initiated by a commission
of eighteen men who landed on French
shores June 13, 1917. Since then
some 9,000 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 fact that the ser\’ices of G.OOO
persons are still required.
“Our American Expeditionary Force
having largely eva<‘uated England, the
activities of the' Red Cross Commis
sion there are naturally upon a dindn-
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 c<*uiitry. In the critical
hoiu's of Italy's struggle the American
people, throu.gh their Red Cross, sent
a practical nu'ssage of sympathy and
relief, for which the government and
peo])Ie of Italy have never cea.sed to
exiiress their gratitude.
Supplies and Personnel to Near East.
“The occasion for such concentra
tion of effort in Ita|y, l]i?g!and, I5el-
u'ium and even in France itaving natur
ally and normally diminished, it has
been jiossible to divert sttiii)lies atid
piM’sonnel in larj:e measure to the aid
of those people in the Near East who
have? hitherto been inaccessible to out
side assi.stance, but whoso stilTerings
liave been upon an appalling scale.
The n<*(‘ds of these peoples are .so vast
that government alone can meet them,
hut the .\merican Red ('ross is making
an elTort to r»*lit>ve immediately the
more acute distress.
“An exli'iisive group of .Vmerican
workc'Ts has !u*en dispatclu'd to carry
vHaiiy needed si:pplit>s, and to work
this V. inter in Ihe various Balkan coun-
tr;.>. 1:: or;l ‘r to co-or«oiiaie iheir ac
tivities, a lialkan commission has iieeii
(‘st:dilish(*d, with headiiuarters at
Ronu*, Italy, from which point alone
all the P.alkan centers can be reached
promptly.
“A commission has just reached Po
land with doctors and nurses, medical
supplies, and food for sick children
find invalids. An American Red ('ross
Commission has also been appointed
to aid in ndieving the sulTerin.g of Ru.s-
sian prisoners still coulined in German
prison camps.

liol’ ('o’.!i:;!ission, '.viiieh v.as Ilu* o!ily
:ii!ency abii* to carry relief in the in
terior fif Turkish dominions.
Red Cross Will Continue.
“R(‘d Cr>»ss elTort Is thus far flung.
Il v.;il continue to be so. Hut the
movement represented by this work
lias likewise assumed an Intimate place
in t4ie 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-
[lerience in the war shows clearly that
there Is an uidimited field for service
of the kiiKl which can be performed
with peculi:<r efieciiveness l»y the Red
Cross. Wl'.at its future tasks n;ay be
it is yet imi»ossible to forecast. We
know that so long as there is an Amer
ican army in the field the Red (’ross
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 live
great Red Cross societies of the world
to develop a program of exlendeti ac
tivities in the interest of humanity.
The* conct'ption 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 tl.eir responsibility for the
welfare of their fellow beings through
out the worhl. It is a program both
ideal and practical. Ideal in that Its
su))reme aim is nothing less than ver-
i itable “Peace on earth good will to
men,” and practical in tiuit it seeks to
take means and measures which are
actually available and make them ef
fective in meeting without delay the
cvjsis which is daily recurrent in the
lives of all peoples.
“F»)r accomplishing its mission in
the years of peace which must lie
ahead of us the Red C’ross will require
the altlesf p-:ssihle ieadershif!, and
must enjoy the continued supjiori, sym
pathy, iuu'i 1 .!! i‘cii;aiion in its vv >rk
of tlie wliole .\merican people. If is
p:;r'icular!y forrt’.nale that sucii a man
as Dr. Liv;n}.;stou Farrand shoaid have
bi*eu si*!ei ;»>d as the permanent head
of the organization. The unstinted
fashion in which all our people gave
of themselves throughout the war is
the best as.surance that our Red Ooss
will contintie to receive that co-opera
tion which will make its work a source
of pride and inspiration to every Amer
ican”
Mr. Davison, as chairman of the In-
tern.ational ('ommission of the Ameri
can Red Cross, has undertaken to rep-
resctit the .American Red Cross in tht
preparation of the program for extend
ed Red ('ro.ss activities, and will spend
the next several mon1h.<5 in Europe In
consultati(;n with other Red Cross soci
eties for that purpose.

The Wonderful Record of Pr.
Thacher’s liver and
Blood Syrup.
Those medicincs which live for even
a quarter of a century are exceptional,
and’continuons use for over two-thirds
of a century is indisputable evidence of
wonderful inerit.
Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup
came into existence in 1852, and from
that time to the present it has grown
in the confidence and estimation of its
yearly increasing number of users,
iilirough all these years it has steadily
grown in jrapular favor.
Its wonderful building up iK>wcr is
shown in the experience of Mrs. C. E.
Chadwick, Beale. Ala. ‘*1 was all run
down in health,’* she says. •* Weighed
only 104} pounds and getting worse
every day. 1 b^an the use of Dr.
Thacher’s Liver and Blood Byrup and
today, I am thankful to say, 1 am in
Perfect health and weigh 155 pounds,
attribute my good health to the use
of that most wonderful medicine. I
firmly believe there are numerous suf
fering people that could be sound and
well by the use of Dr. Thacher’s liivei
, and Blood Syrup.”
I If you need a tonic, or a blood puri-
I fier; if your liver is out of order, youi
• stomach troubles you, or you are con
stipated, have indigestion or dyspepsia,
try Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood
