ABSTRACT
The recent meeting of the Red Cross Association at Geneva derived a large measure of interest from the presence of Clara Barton, who had been sent there as representative of the United States. Miss Barton is nearly as well known in Europe as in America, for during the Franco-German war she assisted the Grand Duchess of Baden in the establishment of her noble hospitals, a work which occupied several months, and she entered Metz with hospital supplies the day after its fall, and Paris the day after the fall of the Commune. She is not only a representative of the International Red Cross of Geneva, but she is the honorary and only woman member of the Comité de Strasbourgeosis, and has received the " Iron Cross of Merit" of Germany, and the "Gold Cross of Remembrance" of Baden.
