He felt that no good would come of It If he gave out even the faintest of clues. He knew that he should file his claim but that would place on record the exact location of his find. In the meantime, men bothered him continually, asking all sorts of questions, watching every move he made. To get rid of them he Invented various stories, hoping that they would believe his tales and go away. Henshaw was being driven to desperation. At last he figured that if he could go back and consult his partner, they could work out some way of filing the claim in secret. But here was another problem, to get away without detection. How he managed it, no one knew, but somehow Henshaw turned np missing one day. Everyone thought that he had eluded his annoyers, and that after a while he would return to Vancouver with more ore, or else that his partner would show up, to try what he could do in Henshaws stead. Weeks went by; mouths; years. Neither of the miners came. No one hoard of them. No one knew what had happened. Everyone guessed: perhaps Henshaw had been caught in a blizzard; perhaps his partner had been killed by Indians; perhaps And perhaps some day the Musketeer will be discovered again.

Davison wa3 the first chairman of the league. John Barton Payne, another chairman of the American Red Cross, became chairman of the league to succeed Davison in 1921; when Judge Payne died early this year another American, Admiral Cary T. Grayson, was unanimously chosen to succeed him. And since 1931 another American, Ernest J. Swift, has been the leagues secretary-general. The league has brought about the creation of 20 new Red Cross societies since It was formed, but Its influence has gone much farther than that. Almost every one of the 61 member societies is today engaged not only in keeping ready for the emergency of war, but in a regular program of health and welfare work, disaster relief and other Important peacetime activities.

As a recent illustration, may be cited the earthquake which wiped out the city of Baluchistan, India, in May of this year. Fifteen national societies, In response to an international Red Cross appeal, Immediately forwarded contributions to Increase the resources of the Inday-to-da- y dian Red Cross. The Red Cross is one of the few humanitarian organizations which have been born In a war. Its origin is traced to the battle of Solferino, In the Italian war of 1S39. Henri Dunant of Geneva saw that bloody battle, and in Un Souvenir de Solferino described the tragic suffering of the wounded soldiers so vividly and powerfully that his words were read throughout the world. These sufferings, he pointed out, were largely the result of Improper care, lie suggested the possibility of organizing In all civilized countries permanent societies of volunteers, which in time of war would render succor to the wounded without distinction of nationality. Dunant's idea caught on with Gustave Moynler, Genevese Iawjer and social worker. He appointed a committee of five Genevese to meet and construct a plan of carrying out the Dunant suggestion. At the Invitation of the committee delegates from 14 nations met at Geneva on October 20, 1S02, They adopted resolutions laying the seed for the formation of the Red Cross as we know lt today, although most of the duties with which they charged members were associated with war emergencies. One of tne Important acts of the convention was to declare, concerning the volunteer societies: Uniformity of Emblems. They shall wear, In all the countries, a white band around the arm with a red cross upon it, as a distinctive and uniform badge." The first of the new Red Cross societies was organized la December of the same year at Wurtem-berg- . In e convention at Geneva In 1SC4 delegates from 12 nations signed a treaty providing for the neutrality of ambulances and military hospitals and adopting the red cross as the emblem and distinctive sign of the sanitary service. Virtually every civilized nation has since acceded to it. The Hague peace conference of 1S99 extended its terms to naval warfare. the convention, of Although course, had to be international in nature, the Red Cross society In each country is entirely national and independent It makes its own laws and is directly responsible for the work in Its own country. The international committee, comprising 18 Swiss residents of Geneva is the official medium of communication between the national organizations, an important function in time of war, when It becomes the neutral channel for relief of prisoners. When the first convention was called at Geneva, the United States was In the throes of Civil war, and the people of the North, the recognized government, were caring for the wounded. It was not until 1SG7 that the real foundations of the American Red Cross were laid. Miss Barton An American, ton, in that year of Red Cross In Is Founder.
