Davison ay chainmtn Ustie.s the following statement on behalf of the War Council of the American Red Cross "To the Atnerirnn People: "The War Council of the American Ited Cross appointed hy President Wilson on May 10, 1017, to cany on the work of the American Ited Cross during the war. at their request and hy vote of the Central Committee, ceased at midnlyht, lVhriuuy 'JS. "Immediately the armistice was sifTiicd the War Council Instituted studies to determine when the strictly war work of the organization would have heen suflicietitly matured to en-Able the direclion of affairs to be resumed by the permanent staff. Henry P. Havison.

Ileitis: in Paris when the armisiice was simied, summoned a conference lliere of the beads of all the Hod Cross Commissions in Europe to canvass the situation. After considering all the factors It was concluded to make the transition on March 1. The very fortunute choice of I'r. Livingston t'urriinrl as the new chairman of the Cent rnl Committee, and thereby the permanent chief executive of Ihe Pod Cross, makes possible Hie consummation of (his plan under the most favorable conditions. Accounts Audited by War Department.

"Detailed reports to Congress and a complete audit of its accounts by the War Department will constitute the thin! record of Pod Cross activity dur ing Ihe war. Although It has heen the rule to make public all expenditures when authorized and lo give detailed informal ion relative to all work undertaken, the War Council In turning over its responsibilities to Dr. Farrand and his associates desire to give a brief resume of lied Cross war time activities to the American people, to whom the lied Cross belong, ami whose getj. rolls contributions have made possible all that has been accomplished. "During the past nearly twenty-one months the American people have given In cash and supplies lo the American lied Cross more thou No value can be placed upon the contributions of service which have been given without stint and oftentimes at great sacrifice by millions of our people.

"The etl'ori of the American Kcd Cross in this war has constituted by far the largest voluntary gifts of money, of band and hearl, ever contributed purely for the relief of human suffering. Through the lied Cross ihe heart and spirit of the whole American people have been mobilized to take care of our own, lo relieve the misery -incident to the war, and also to reveal to the orld the supreme Ideals of our national lite. "Everyone who tuts had any part In this war effort of the lied Cross is entitled to congratulate himself. No thanks from anyone could be equal 111 value to Ihe self satisfaction everyone should feet foe the pari, taken. Fully 8,000,000 American women have exerted thenisehus in Kcd Cross service.

Has Over 17,000,000 Adult Members. "When we entered the war the American lied Cross had ahnul i 10,000 members." Today, as ihe result of Ihe recent Christmas membership Roll Call, there are upwan't of full paid members outside of Ihe members of Ihe Junior lied Cross, numbering perhaps fi.Ono.ono school children additional. "The chief effort of Ihe Jted Cross during the war has been to cure for our men In service, and to aid our army and navy wherever ihe Ited Cross nuiy be called on to assist. As to this phase of Ihe work Surgeon General Ireland of ihe V. S.

Army recently said: "The lied Cross has been an enterprise as vast as (bo war Itself. From the beginning It has done (hose (hings which the Army Medical Corps wanted done, but could not do "The Red Cross endeavor In France has naturally been upon an exceptionally large scale where service has been rendered to the American Army and to the French Army and the French people as well, the latter particularly during (he trying period when the Allied World was waiting for the American Army to arise in force and power. Hospital emergency service for our army In France has greatly diminished, but the Red Cross Is still being called upon for service upon 0 large scale In the great base hospitals, where thousands of American sick and wounded are Rtlll receiving attention. At these hospltuls the Red Cross supplies huts and facilities for the amusement and recreation of I the men as they become convalescent.

The Army Canteen ervlc along tn line of travel bat shores June 13, 1017. Since then some persons have heen upon (he rolls In France, of whom 7,000 were actively engaged when the armistice was signed. An Indication of the present scale of the work will be obtained from ihe fact (hat Ihe services of 6.000 persons are still required. "tur American Expeditionary Force having largely evacuated England, the activities of the Red Cross Commission there are naturally upon a diminishing scale period. Active operations are still In progress In Archangel and Siberia.

"The work In Italy has been almost entirely on behalf of Ihe civilian population of that country. In Ihe critical hours of Italy's struggle the American people, through Ihelr Red Cross, sent a practical message of sympathy and relief, for which the government and people of Italy have never ceased to express their gralitudo. Supplies and Personnel to Near East. "The occasion for such concentration of effort in Italy, England, anil ecn In France having naturally and normally diminished, ii has been possible to divert supplies and personnel in large measure to (he aid Of those people III Ihe Near East who have hitherto I Imu lo outside assistance, bm whose sufferings have been upon an appalling scale. The needs of these peoples are so vast that government alone can meet (hem.

but the American Red Cross Is making an effort lo 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 the various P.alkan coun tries. In order to co-ordinate their activities, a P.alkan commission has been established, with heaihpiarfcrs a( Rome, Paly, from which point alone all Ihe P.alkan centers can be reached promptly. "A commission has just reached Poland with doctors and nurses, medical supplies, and food for sick children and Invalids. An American Red Cross Commission has also been appointed to aid Iti relieving the suffering of Russian prisoners still confined In Herman prison camps.

"An important commission still working in Palestine. Through the war special co-operallon has been given to the Armenian and Syrlun Relief Comnii ssioii, which was the only agency able lo carry relief In Ihe Interior of Turkish dominions. Red Cross Will Continue. "Red Cross elVorL is thus far flung. It will continue to be so.

Hut the movement represenled by tlTTs work has likewise assumed an intimate place in tlie daily life of our people at home. The army of orkers which lias been recruited find trained during (be war must not be demobilized. All our experience In the war shows clearly thai there is an unlimited Hold for service of the kind which can he performed with peculiar effectiveness by the Red Cross. What its future tasks may be it Is yet Impossible to forecast. We know that so long as lliere is an American army in Ihe field the Red Cross will have special function id perform.

"Nothing lould be of greater Importance lo the American Red Cross (hau the plans just set In motion by the five great Red 'ross societies of the world to develop a program of extended activities In Ihe interest of humanity. The conception involves not alone efforts to relieve human suffering, but to prevent it not alone a movement by the people of an individual uulion, hut an attempt to arouse all people (o a sense of Ihelr responsibility for Ihe welfare of their fellow beings throughout the world. Is program both ideal and practical. Ideal In that its supreme aim is nothing less than ver itable "Peace on earth good will lo men," and practical In tluit II seeks to lake means nnd measures which are actually available and make them effective In meeting without delay the. crisis which Is daily recurrent In the lives of all peoples.

"For accomplishing Its mission In (he years of peace which must He ahead of us the Rod Cross will require the ablest possible leadership, and must enjoy the continued support, sympathy, 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 organization. The unstinted fashion In which all our people gave of themselves Ihroughout the war Is (he best assurance our Red Cross win continue to receive Hun co-opera- tion which will jnitke lis work source of pride and inspiration to every Amer- lean."
