For the Love of Mike. Statue of Michael The Brave with the Russian church in the background at Bucharest, Roumania. In 1600 Mike beat the terrible Turks and united Transylvania, Moldavia, Bessarabia, Bukovina and Mallachia into one empire. But after he died the countries became separated. Today for the first time in 300 years Roumania includes within her boundaries all these old provinces. It was "for the love of Mike" that the Roumanians claimed them at the Peace Conference. And into all of them have come Americans with Red Cross relief supplies, feeding the starving and healing the sick, in an effort to get the country back on its feet again
