and beloved of all the nation, died at her home at Glen Echo. today. She was 00 years old on December 28. The Red Cross headquarters were not notified of her death until lute this afternoon ow ing to the fact that Miss Barton's home is isolated In the suburbs, and her sorrowing relatives and friends were prostrated by her sudden death. Although the aged founder of the Red Cross has been in failing health for ears, death came almost without warning.

During the winter she contracted a severe case of pneumonia, which affected her heart, and it was from Ihis latter trouble thai: death ensued. At her bedside "hen the sum-Clara Barton as 30 years old. The nions came was her nephew, Stephen Barton, of Boston, who has been visiting her. Burial Probably In Oxford.

In June, the battle of Solferino had been fought in Lom-bardy, the allied forces of the Frencn and Sardinians triumphing over I he Austrians. The battle lasted lfi hours, the slaughter was great and tho encounter closed the war and led to the peace of Villafranca. The unspeakable condition of the wounded, who were left, on the field to die like torn and tortured animals, the absolute lack of any effort to save the lives of those who had been Injured, though not fatally, and the spread of malignant fevers as a natural sequence of the putrefaction of the dead left unburled under the rays of a summer sun all these were taken up fihd flhf)n to ttrs wondering gaze of a sympathetic wurld in Mr. Dunant's "Souvenir." Naturally this pamphlet had a widespread effect, and with its distribution people became interested, and when the question "What shall we do about it?" arose the response came quickly and with decision.

Beginning In Switzerland in 1861, the Red Cross movement reached all countries In duo course, including the United States.

Without her there never would have been an American Red Cross. We were the thirty-second nation to give It our adhesion; even Servla was ahead of us, and it was 20 years after Switzerland made a beginning before the United States was induced to join hands with the other nations. Was In Franco-Prussian War.

After her return from Europe, where she had participated in Red Cross work in connection with the Franco-Prussian War, and had so distinguished herself that the old German Emperor William had decorated her with the Iron Cross, Miss Barton determined that she would awaken her countrymen to the importance of entering into the Red Cross alliance with other nations, and she ultimately succeeded whore.

Philip Kearny was graduated at Columbia University in 1833 and later he studied law under Peter A. Jay.
