Armistices come and go, but there is always trouble in the Balkans. Although the armistice was signed more than a year ago, these Serbian soldiers are still marching with full equipment. This picture was taken as a Serbian battalion was crossing an ancient Roman bridge into Montenegro just to throw cold water on some hot-headed royalists who were getting rather loud in advocating the return of King Nicholas, who has fled the country. The picture illustrates the barren bleakness of the country which has been saved much suffering by the speed with which the American Red Cross has come to the people's aid with relief supplies
