Indian troops in East Africa. The largest crowd Bombay city has seen for a long time turned out to see the spectacular finale of the city's "war week," a great route march by British and Indian naval and military units followed by armored vehicles and ambulances. Sir Roger Lumley, Governor of Bombay, took the salute from a saluting base by the fine Marine Drive. With him was General Sir Claude Auchinlock, Commander-in-Chief in India. How a tank goes over the top was graphically illustrated during the "war week" when the Rodney negotiated this wall with the greatest of ease
King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American Military Hospital, Dartford, near London. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in the prime of England's autumn season, and the spacious grounds of the hillside hospital were dotted with groups of convalescent American soldiers when their Majesties arrived. As the King and Queen and the Princess Mary walked around from ward to ward, crowds of American wounded, all dressed in hospital blue, clustered around them and they moved always through lanes of men whose bandages and crutches and splints told of heroism on the battlefields of France. The King was in a Field-Marshall's Khaki uniform

Interior of tent American Red Cross hospital at Jouy, which was attacked by German Aviators on the night of July 15. Two hospital orderlies were killed, and 14 persons injured, of whom nine were orderlies, four patients and one American Red Cross nurse. No possible doubt exists as to the deliberate character of the raid as the hospital was marked by an immense white canvas cross on the lawn, which has been proved by photographs taken from an airplane, to be distinctly visible several thousand feet in the air, and seven witnesses agree that the Boche Aviators came down to within several hundred feet to make observations before dropping their bombs. The white spots in the photograph show a few of the holes torn in tent by flying fragments of shrapnel

Charles J. Vopicha, of Chicago American Minister to Roumania, who was in Bucharest when the Germans marched in, and who at that time represented the interests of seventeen Allied Nations, was one of the American Officials in Bucharest who took a deep interest in work of the A.R.C. during the late winter and spring, when the arrival of the Red Cross trucks in any suffering Roumanian village meant immediate relief from famine or the suffering caused by Typhus and Smallpox. Mr. Vopicha is the man at the right of this photo wearing civilian clothing. The R.C. ambulance, in this case, happens to be a part of the equipment of the Roumanian Red Cross, which cooperated to the fullest extent of its ability in aiding the American Red Cross commission in alleviating distress. The Roumanian government-and its Red Cross also, were hampered in carrying on relief work because of the extreme shortage in drugs, food, clothing, and hospital supplies, all of which were brought to the country in the first A.R.C. ship that arrived in February. From the big warehouses, into which the cargo was unloaded, supplies were hauled into trucks to the distress centers. In the photo are A.R.C. workers. The other men and women
