Through the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva, the Red Cross societies of the Allies sent packages of food and clothing to prisoners in 72 camps of the enemy countries. Countries at war with the Allies could do likewise for their men imprisoned in France and elsewhere.
After the Armistice the Red Cross helped wounded and gassed soldiers come home, and then cared for them in veterans' hospitals.
Supported by voluntary contributions, the League is governed by its representatives through meetings of its board of governors, held every two years at Paris headquarters. It acts as a clearing-house of information for member societies and has stimulated the formation of new Red Cross societies and junior sections.
New Organization Formed
The League was organized by Henry P. Davison, who was in charge of the American society during the war. He advocated a great world-wide organization to carry on in peace-time "a program of extended work in the general interests of humanity." Within one year there were 31 member societies. There are now 61.
From this war experience grew a new international organization—the League of Red Cross Societies. During the war the societies had aided refugees, war widows, orphans and the victims of want and disease. At the end of the war, those needs continued. The Red Cross could not leave an unfinished task.
Figures in 1937 show that more than 4,500,000 men and women and more than 8,500,000 children belong to the American National Red Cross. Red Cross public health nurses help the sick, give lessons on health, first aid, care of the sick, hygiene, and child care.
In Peace as In War
During the year the Red Cross is called upon to aid in disasters brought by flood, drought, storm, fire. Thousands of new garments are made annually by volunteer workers, and recreation rooms for children and adults are conducted.
So in peace—and now again in war—the Red Cross carries on its cause, the relief of suffering humanity.
