*7 the American People:
-The War Coanril of the American
Bed Cross sppolated by President Wil-
son on May 10, 1917, to carry on the
work of the American Bed Croes dor-
big the war. at their request and by
vote of the Central Committee, ceased
at mklnlgbt. February 28.
"Immediately the armistice was
signed the War Council Instituted
atndleo to determine when the strict- :
ly war work of the organisation would j
have been sufficiently matured to en-
able the direction of affair to be re-
sumed by the permansnt staff. Henry ,
P. Davison, being In Paris when tf'. J
armistice waa aigned, summoned a'
conference there of the heads of all j
the Red Croas Commissions In Europe
ta caiiTaaa the situation. After con-
sidering all the factors U waa con-
cluded to make the transition on
March L The very fortunate choice
at Dr. Livingston Farrand as the new
chairman of the Central Committee,
and thereby tho penaaaaat chief ex-
ecutive of the Bed Croaa. makes possi-
ble the consummation of this piss na-
dar tho moat favorable conditions.
Atóesete Audited by War Department.
"Detailed reports to Cungrsos sad s
complete sodlt of Its sccounts by the
Wsr Department wUl constitute tho
final record of Red Cross activity dur-
ing the war. Although It baa been
the rale to make public all eipeodi-
tnrea when authorised and to give de-
tailed Information relative to aU work I
undertaken, the War Council la turn-.
log over Its re^mnslbillties to Dr. Far-
rand and Us associates desire to give1
a brief resume of Bed Croaa war time
activities to the American people, to
whom the Red Cross belong, and whose
generous contributions have made pos-
sible all that baa been accomplished.
"During the past nearly twenty-one
months the American people have
given in cash and supplies to the
American Bed Croas more than $400,-
000,000. So value can be placed apon
the contributions of service which.
have been given without stint and of-
tentimes at great sacrifice by millions
of our people.
The effort of the American Red '
Cross in this war baa constituted by
far the largest voluntary gifts of
money, of hand aad heart, ever con-
tributed purely for the relief of bo-
rneo suffering. Through the Bad Cross ;
tho heart and spirit of the whole i
American people have been nmbllUed !
ta take «are of oar own. to relieve the \
mlaeiy Incident to tho war, aad alao ¡
to reveal to the world tho supreme I
Idee la of our national life.
"Everyeoe who has had say part la
this war effort of the Bed Croes is en-!
titled to congratulate himself. No'
Osaka from asyone could be equal la '
value to the self satisfaction every-;
one ahould fed for the part taken.

Increased since the armistice.
"As for work among the French peo-
ple, now that hostilities have ceaaed.
the French themselves naturally pre-
fer as far aa possible to provide for
their own. It lias accordingly been de-
termined that the guiding principle of
Bed Cross policy lo Frauee henceforth
aball be to have punctilious regard u>
Ita every reaponslblllty, but to direct
Its efforts primarily to aaslsting
French relief societies. The liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by till government Into
small districts, each officially assigned
to s designated French relief organi-
sation.
"The American Bed Croaa work In
Franca waa Initiated by a commlsalon
of eighteen men who landed on French
shores June IS, 1917. Since then
some 9,000 persons have been upon the
rolla In France, of whom 7,000 were
actively engaged when the armistice
waa aigned. An indication of the pres-
ent acale 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 Bed Cross Commis-
sion there sre naturally upoo a dimin-
ishing scale period. Active operatlona
are etlll In prog rest in Archangel and
Siberia.
"The work la Italy haa been almost
entirely on behalf of.the civilian pop-
ulation of that country. In the critical
hours of Italy's stnfegle American
people, through fist Red Cross, sent
a practical measage of sympathy and
relief, for which the government and
people of Italy have never ceased to
express their gratitude.
Supplies and Peraonnel to Near East.
"The occasion for such concentra-
tion of effort In Italy, England, Bel-
glum and even in Prance 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-
aide assistance, but whose sufferings
have been upon an appalling acala.
