=Little Colonel Series=.

The publishers would have appropriately used on the cover of this book
the Red Cross on a white field, adopted as its emblem by the Red Cross
Society, but any use of that emblem for purposes other than those of
this society has been prohibited by law.

The Red Cross Society adopted its emblem in honor of Switzerland, where
the society originated, but reversed the colors of the Swiss flag, which
are a White Cross on a red field. It is consequently, under the
circumstances, appropriate that the cover design should show the White
Cross of Switzerland, where the Red Cross Society originated, and where
its story was told to =The Little Colonel=.
