1st statement on behalf of the War
Council of the American Ked Cross:
mt the American People:
The Wlr Council of the American
gad Cross appointed by I real dent Wll
aea on May 10, 1017, to carry on the
work of the American Red Cross dur
faf the war, at thilr request and by
ate of the Central Committee, ceased
atf midnight, February 28.
"Immediately the armistice waa
tfned the War Council InsUtuted
todies to determine when the strict
If war work of the organization would
Stave been sufficiently matured to en
Me the direction of affairs to be re
timed by the permanent staff. Henry
F. Davison, being la Paris when the
armistice waa signed, summoned a
eaference there of the heads of all
(fee Red Cross Commissions In Europe
t canvas the situation. After con
sidering all the factors It waa con
cluded to make the transition on
Kerch 1. The very fortunate choice

Cfealrman of the Central Committee,
ad thereby the permanent chief ex
entire of the Red Cross, makes possl
fcle the consummation of this plan tin
tier the most favorable conditions.
Aeeeunta Audited by War Department.
"Detailed reports to Congress and a
etnplete audit of Its accounts by the
War Department will constitute the
flaal record of Ked Cross activity dur
tag the war. Although It has been
ttt rule to make public all expendi
tures when authorised and to give de
tailed Information relative to all, work
vadertaken, the "War Council in turn
lac over its responsibilities to Dr. Far
rand and hla associates desire to give
brief resume of Red Cross war time
activities to the American people, to
trkom the Red Cross belong, and whose
ganerous contributions have made pos
sible all that has been accomplished.
"During the past nearly twenty-one
jBoaths the American people nave
given In cash and supplies to the
.Aanerlcan Red Cross more than $400,
G4JDQ0. No value can be placed upon
cm contributions of service which
bar been glyen without stint and of
taatlmea at great sacrifice by mllllous
M cur people.
epwThe effort of the American Red
Cross Jn this war has constituted by
far the largest voluntary gifts of
eooney, of hand and heart, ever con
tributed purely for the relief of hu
caan suffering. Through (he Red Cross
the heart and spirit of the ..whole
American people have been mobilized
4a take rare of onr own, to relieve U)
ataery Incident to the war, and also
ts reveal to the world the supreme
Meals of our national life.
"Everyone who has had any part la
jfWJ war effort of the Red Crosa Is en
llHed to congratulate himself. No
, (banks from anyone could be equal In
value to the self satisfaction every-
M should feel for the part taken
Folly 8,000.000 American women have
rerted themselves In Red Cross sens
lea.
Haa Over 17,000.000 Adult Members.
"When we entered the war the
American Red Cross had about f00, 000
member. Today, as the result of the
recent Christmas membership Roll
Call, there are upward of 17,000,000
roll paid members outside of the mem
bers of the Junior Red Cross, number
lag perhaps 9,000,000 school children
additional.
The chief effort of the Red Cross
(daring the war has been to en re for
ar men In service and to aid our
nny and navy wherever the Red
Cross may be called on to assist. Aa
te this phase of the work Surgeon Gen
eral Ireland of the u. S. Array recent
tj said : The Red Cross has been aa
enterprise as vast as the war Itself.
From the beginning It has done those
tilings which the Army Medical Corps
ranted done, but could not do Itself.'
"The Red Cross endeavor In France
baa naturally been upon an exception
ally large scale where service has
bea rendered to the American Army
aad to the French Army aad the
French people as well, the latter par
ticularly during the trying period
enhen the Allied World was waiting
fee the American Army to arise la

Red Cross supplies huts and facilities

pared to render the same emergency
aid aad supply service which was the
primary business af the Red Crosa
daring bostlUtletv The Army Caateea

actually Increased since the armistice.
As for work among the French peo
ple, now that hoMtllltles have ceased,
the French themselves naturally pre
fer as far as possible to provide for
their cwn. It has accordingly been de
termined that the guiding principle of
Red Cross policy in France henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regard to
Its every rcsimnslhlllty, but to direct
Its efforts primarily to assisting
French relief, societies. Die liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by the government Into
small districts, each officially assigned
to a designated French relief organisation.
"The American Red Cross work In
France was Initiated by a commission
of eighteen men who landed on French
ahores June 13, 1917. Since then
some 0,000 persons have been upon the
rolls In Frnnce, of whom 7,000 weie
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 services of 6,000
persons 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.
Supplies and Personnel te Near Cast
The occasion for such concentra
tion of effort la Italy, England, Bel
glum and even la France having natur
ally and normally diminished. It has
been possible to divert supplies and
personnel In targe measure to the aid
of those people In the Near East who
have hitherto been Inaccessible to out
side assistance, but 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 werk
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
Jlotne, 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 children
and Invalids. An American Red Cross
Commlsalon has also been appointed
to aid In relieving the suffering of Rus
sian prisoners still confined In German
prison camps. .
"An Important commission la still
working In Palestine. -Through the
war special co-operation 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 Croes Will Continue.
"Red Cross effort Is thus far flung,
It will continue to be so. Bat the
movement represented by this work
baa likewise assumed an Intimate place
In tb daily Ufa of our people at home.
The army of workers which had been
recruited end trained during the war
must not be demobilized. All Our ex
perience, to tfit war show clearly that
there la aa unlimited field lor service
of the kind which can be performed.
with peculiar effectiveness by the lied
Cross. What Its future task! 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 Croas
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 tha
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 tha
lives of all peoples.
"For accomplishing Its mission In
the years of peace which must He
ahead of us the Red Cross wljl require
the ablest possible leadership, and
must enjoy the continued support, sym
pathy, and participation In Its work
of the whole American people. It Is
particularly fortunate that such a man
as Dr. Livingston "Farrand should have
been selected as the permanent head
of the organisation. The unstinted
fashion In. which all our people gave
of themselves throughout the war la
the best assurance that our Red Crosa
will continue to receive that co-operation
whir will make Its work a source
of pride and lnsplr .'on to every Amer
ican."
Mr. Davlaoa, aa chairman of the In
ternational Commission of the Ameri'
can Red Cross, has undertaken to rep
resent the American Red Cross In the
preparation of the program for extend'
ed Red Cross activities, and will spend
the next several montha in Europe la
consultation with other Red Cross soci
eties for that purpose.
