"Life is Real, Life is Earnest" to these two Russian children seated on the doorstep of the Red Cross relief station at Vilna. With their pails they are waiting for the distribution of condensed milk furnished by the Junior Red Cross of America. The youngster at the right wears a Polish military cap, while the clothes of both are made from scraps of soldiers garments. Of these 25,000 boys and girls are in the "bread line" continually, dependent on outside aid if they are to live
