A Gentleman from Montenegro. Standing in a characteristic pose with his hand on the revolver in his girdle. He has just accompanied his wife (extreme left) into town with a cargo of fodder, carried on donkey back. Following the custom of the country, he will let his better half negotiate the sale while he adjourns to a nearby coffee house and discusses politics and the nest war with other "country gentlemen." American Red Cross doctors at work in the country found that the women suffered much from overwork, while the men suffered just as much from gunshot wounds obtained in family feuds and general quarrels that are arising continually as a result of political questions being settled with good powder and bullets, with an occasional kinfe thrown in
