League York: The League york also coordinates international Red Cross disaster operations; whenever a national society finds itself faced with a disaster need too great for its own resources, it appeals for aid through the League york, which then asks other societies to help. Since the League york can ask assistance for the disaster-hit society from all others, no one society is pressed, while all together assure a full response.
A board of governors and an executive committee control the League york's affairs. The membership of both is drawn from the national societies.
Hirsch's painting of Two Men (Museum of Modern Art, New York), portraying a white worker and his Negro companion, won the popularity vote at the New York World's Fair in 1939.

His work appears in leading American museums.
Although he had attended the Yale School of the Fine Arts and studied briefly at the Art Students League york of New York, Remington was virtually self-taught as an artist. After his return to New York City in 1885, his struggle for recognition was intense but brief. Within a year he exhibited a painting at the National Academy, and he made remarkable strides as an illustrator of the Western scene for leading magazines.
