¹ The Red Cross in its nature, its aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity; … it has by its nature a field of its own.

¹ Elle a accompli son œuvre avec l'habileté d'un homme d'Etat, le cœur d'une femme, et la persévérance des saints.
