The importance of the Revision of the Treaty of Geneva and some of the subjects to be discussed, for which the Convention is now being held in that city, occupies considerable space in the International Bulletin. Among the questions are: the protection of the wounded from ill treatment and pillage, the wearing by all military persons of some mark of identification, a provision that a list of the dead, the wounded and sick found or taken by the enemy shall be sent as soon as possible to the opposing Army or its government, a complete enumeration of the sanitary personnel protected by the Treaty, if in this enumeration shall be included the personnel of the volunteer aid, and under what conditions? Fourteen questions are given.
It is much regretted by the National Officers that so few of the Branch Societies have sent in any notes for publication in this number of the Bulletin.
Copies of this quarterly Bulletin are sent to all foreign Red Cross Societies and to every member of the American National Red Cross free of charge.
Members of the Red Cross may obtain from the Secretary of the Branch to which he or she belongs a Red Cross pin or button upon the payment of fifty cents.
The new life-membership certificates are now being sent out from the National Headquarters, and any life member not receiving one will confer a favor by notifying the National Secretary.
The Red Cross is having made some special pins to be worn by Red Cross nurses. These will be furnished the nurses without charge.
