Daiiy Alaska Em pire ALASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaske Newspapers, 1811 Amsrican Buflding, Seattle, Wash, Under the Red Cross Banner (New York Times) Since the Red Cross movement was born out of the boundless compassion and energy of Henri Du- nant it has been first and foremost a nursing service for the wounded in battle. When that youthful Swiss visited the battlefield of Solferino in 1859 he was aghast at the appalling neglect of the suffering men left by the armies. His first act was to organ- ize the women of the néighborhod into volunteer nursing groups. Then he persuaded the nations of the world to adopt the revolutionary idea that the wounded should be cared for without regard to nationality and that those looking after them should be safe from attack. In this war there are Red Cross nurses on virtually every battlefield where American men fight. They were on duty on Luzon and Guam and Oahu when the Japanese bombers |struck. They nursed the wounded of Pearl Harbor. Today they are serving in Tunisia and amid the HOME RULE FOR PUERTO RICO? Sena‘lor e opetis Tf‘.dmgs' O |New Guinea.
