press at Russia.
Dunantwas born May 8 1829. in
the capital of Switzerland. His
father was a Swiss aristocrat whose
house. it is said. ranked fourth
among the Genevois landed propri-
etors as far back as 1535. and the
young Jean’s immediate parent held
the honor until 1842 of being a mum
ber of the representative council of
Geneva. Maternally also the baby
received a worthy heritage. ‘1 Mine.
Dunant (nee Colladon) was de-
scended from the lords of La
Chatre. in Berry. who had fled from
France to Switzerland in the six-
teenth century to escape religious
persecution. Three influences all
exerted by women whom he never
knew personally so impressed the
imaginative child that when immune
to maturity their ideals guided his
own life. One was that of Elizabeth
Fry. the Quakeress. who gave her
life to prison reform. Another was
that of the author of “Uncle Tom's
Cabin." and the third was Florence
Nightingale. When he had reached
the age or 26. the success of Kiss
Nightingale at Scutari in nursing
the sick and wounded was astonish-
ing the civilized world which until
her example during the Crimean
War, had always treated wounded
soldiers as cast‘offs and not worth
the trouble of succoring.
As though the path blazed by this
woman had impressed him indelibly
the young Dunant five years later.
when fate made him witness while
traveling in Lombardy, ltaIy, the
battle of Soiferino. threw himself
into the task of aiding the thousands
of soldiers cleft dying or wounded
on the broken field at dawn” .To
him there was no difference betwee
a. Franso—Sardininn dving in agon
or a grievously wounded Austrian.
This experience marked a turning

Realisatioa was forced upon him of
the utter inadequacy of the military
medical service then in existence
and or the needles ind crud waste
of life which it caused. In 1863 he
returned to Geneva and wrote and
published a pamphlet. “A Souvenir
of Solferino," in which he described
as an eyewitness such unforgetable
suffering that all who read it must
take heed and consider a remedy
for the semi- barbaric negligence it
brought to light. In conclusion he
asked: "Would it not be possible to
found and organise in all civilized
countries permanent societies of
volunteers which in time of war
would finder succor to the wounded
without distinction of nationality}?
This question may be called the
root of the modern Red Cross. for
since that day such an appeal has
never gone unheeded.
Ranks of Hawkers .

LONDON.—Street hawkers who

American tourists descend upon
London_ will soon become a tradi-
tion. n'nd the children’s "walk of
delight" up and down Luds'ato Hill
the week before Christmas will be
a path of and memories.
Unless there is a reprieve the
city hawker will become extinct be-
cause since 1911 no fresh licenses
have been issued to hawker-s and
many of the hawker-s of that date
are dead or too infirm to carry on
their trade.
At death a hawker's badge is re-
claimed by the police and not re-
issued to any one else. ~
The reason for the withdrawal of
the barge is stated 'to be the ad-
i‘ent or the wide-beamed motor
buses and taxicabs which are con—
sidered to have made the hawker's
trade a. danger to himself and
others.
