Wherever you go in strange lands you will see the Stars and Stripes unfurled to the breeze. This is the old capital of Albania. This flag is hung in front of the American Red Cross hospital which is treating hundreds of cases of injuries and sickness weekly. Soldiers and civilians salute the flag as they pass under it, as a token of their appreciation of what American people have done for them through the Red Cross

Two flags Albanians will never forget. Old Glory and the American Red Cross emblem can be seen flying from one end of Albania to the other. They have brought a new idea to this old world country, probably the most primitive in Europe. Wherever those flags are exhibited, the people know they can look for a lightening of their burdens and a helping hand with their troubles. This shows the American Red Cross hospital at Tirana, to which American doctors and nurses go into the surrounding country to care for the sick and ailing. At the extreme right is Dr. Lloyd W. Brooke of Portland, Oreg. Director of the Tirana Hospital

Under two flags. Two flags waved above the graves of Americans buried in Serbia on Decoration Day. They were the Stars and Stripes and the flag of the Red Cross. Both Serbians and Americans, the latter members of the American Red Cross unit to that country, laid their tribute of flowers on the graves of the friends on the day when America honors her dead. This picture shows the grave of Miss Amelia Peabody Tileston, formerly of Brookline, Massachusetts., who died in Belgrade last February. Miss Tileston was formerly a member of the American Red Cross unit to Serbia

Poland's tribute to America. These little flag bearers, whose banners carries the name of their school, are among the 20,000 Polish children who marched on July 4 in honor of the American Independence Day. Unable to buy American flags in the stores, their ingenuity came to the front and hundreds of red, white and blue paper flags like those in the picture were produced. When the Star Spangled Banner was played, the hundreds of waving paper flags rustled like the leaves of a great forest
