“To Mr. I'leuri Dunant, a Swiss gen-
tleman, belongs the honor of originat-
ing this movement,” writes Belle M.
Brain in telling “The Story of the Red
Cross” in the Woman’s Home Gom«
panion. “Being in Italy at the time
of the battle of Solfcrino, July 24, 1859,
he visited the battle-field. Appalled

he remained many days, doing all in
his power to relieve it. During these
terrible days Mr. Dunant conceived
the idea of a system of organized relief
whereby aid could be given under such
circumstances. Returning home, he
published a book called ‘Recollections
est. His appeal touched a responsive '
chord in all hearts. Being invited to
address the Geneva Society of Public
Utility on the subject, he unfolded to
them his plans. From that time for
ward he labored indefatigably to win
adherents to his cause, writing arti-
cles, delivering addresses, traveling
from place to place, consulting officials .

display a uniform badge and flag, ac-
companied by their national flag.
“In compliment to Mr. Dunant and
the Swiss government, the protective
sign and flag agreed upon was a red
Greek cross on a white ground—the re-
verse of the Swiss flag. Turkey alone
has objected to this. Her soldiers, in
their intense hatred of the Christian
Symbol, refused to work under a ban-
ner with a’ cross, and they were allow:
ed to use a red crescent in its place.
“Mr. Dunant is now about 70 years
of age. Having spent half of his for-
tune in establishing the Red Cross,
and having lost the other half in un-
fortunate business ventures, he lived
for many years, poor and unforgetten,
in a plain district infirmary in' Switz-
erland, of which he was himself the
founder. Now, however, through the

entered the bookseller’s shop. She ex-
pressed herself thus vaguely, because
she is nevrous about her French. “I
don’t think we have any book of that
name," responded the youth behind
the counter. “That is not the name of
the work. It merely describes it,” re-
joined the customer. “Published
