From the western grain fields, came this supply of American flour to Montenegro. It was brought in American Red Cross relief ships and distributed under American supervision. It is shown here on the docks at Cattaro, Montenegro's Adriatic seaport, under a heavy military guard, as food conditions in the country at the time were desperate. The Red Cross sent the food into the interior by ox carts, mules and serial tramway
