Undoubtedly, that scope will be j greater than before the war but it is uncertain in what proportion Congress will authorize increases in the standing army and navy. But whatever may be the demands the Red Cross muHt be prepared to meet " iU them, and meet them promptly and fully.

I am riot opposed to the League as was pub lished in The Independent this week. Anything that will promote the welfare of the world is better than nothing.
