The scene of the Otranto disaster. The point where the Otranto was torn to pieces on the rocks of Islay's safage where is a bleak and desolate spot. The nearest habitations are a mile and a half away in the tiny hamlet of Kilchoman, which is merely a cluster of three or four stone cottages and a small church and a school house. The cottagers are poor farmer folk, big of heart but lean of purse. They starved themselves to feed the survivors, and the Red Cross supplies arrived in the nick of time to save them all, survivors and villagers as well. The photograph shows the parish church and cemetary, with Machrie Bay, the scene of the disaster in the distance. The picture was taken from a knoll, over a mile away by an improvised tele-photo lens, and from an elevation of about 600 ft

Victims of latest Balkan trouble. This picture shows a typical group of thousands of Albanian war victims who were interred in Montenegro during a recent Balkan squabble. The American officer is Lieut. Col. H.J. Fairclough, head of the American Red Cross Commission to Montenegro and former professor at Leland Stanford University in California. When these homeless, miserable women and children swarmed through the lines at the Serbian-Montenegro frontier they were filthy, vermin-ridden and frenzied with starvation and suffering. They were given a daily ration of American food and have since been returned to their own country by Red Cross workers co-operating with the Albanian refugee committee

The Church Within a Church. In Belgium where the churches have been battered down, one church serves for the people of a dozen ruined villages. At Staden, Belgium the ingenuity of Abbe Moestart has built a church within a church. With corrugated iron from the battlefield shelters, he improvised a roof against one of the remaining walls of the old church and every Sunday steady streams of people plod over the battered roads in the direction of the church where a little, cracked bell dug out of the debris announces service. Abbe Moestart is seen here showing Capt. C.O. Dennewitz, an American Red Cross worker of Gary, Ind., how he turned the ruins into a house of worship

American doctors at work in Serbia. In one of the oldest and quaintest towns in southern Europe, Prizren, Serbia, this American Red Cross doctor is attending to all the surgical work of the population of 100,000 souls. Dr. Lester B. Bradford, of Boothby, Maine, is seen in the relief hospital dressing the wounded feet of a citizen fired upon by bandits. Prizren is in the mountains fifty miles from any railroad. Bandit raids are the rule rather than the exception. As they usually take place at night, only the bravest and most unwary travel after dark. Great suffering has followed in the wake of war in this section of Serbia and the miserable people have almost reached the end of their hope of re-adjusted conditions that will alleviate their hunger and poverty

Wanted: American Machinery. Utterly incapable of grinding the corn that is offered here, the miller of this humble institution in Podgoritza, Montenegro, wants some American milling machinery. While making a sanitary survey of the mountain streams of this country American Red Cross workers came across many little mills like this and found the demand general for improved grinding facilities. These mills are centuries old but still follow methods practiced in the Dark Ages

Cows of History. Extraordinarily beautiful and picturesque are the long-horned, snow white cows of the Tuscan valleys in Italy. Their horns measure about twenty inches across and their silky tails often sweep the ground. Since the war they are becoming very scarce owing to lack of fodder, and land holders are haunted by mythological tales of the Middle Ages when they disappeared altogether. Invaders from the North brought this breed of cattle into Italy and they were so admired by the early Romans that they each year offered up the whitest and most beautiful one as a sacrifice, gilding its horns and garlanding them with rare flowers. The Italian government presented this pair to the Agricultural Colony of the Junior Red Cross of America orphanage and vocational school where several hundred war orphans are learning scientific farming and undergoing training for their future independence

At the old spinning wheel. Polish peasant woman weaving flax at the old spinning wheel in her humble home east of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Every home has a spinning wheel and the flax which crows right up to every door is woven into cloth with which are made many of the picturesque native costumes. But every farm raises more than enough flax for domestic uses and sends it stocks to the great mills at Lodx or outside the country, depending of course on the requirements

What Turks can do with flour sacks. Take an ordinary sack, cut two holes in the bottom and you have the skirt that these young girls are wearing. They are Toumanian but from a section of the country that was under Turkish domination so long that the Oriental influence still remains in the costumes of the people. The girl on the extreme right has a skirt made from a flour sack, while the others are clothed in scraps of garments gathered anywhere. The group illustrates the extreme shortage of clothing that exists throughout the Near East where the American Red Cross has been operating for more than a year, distributing tons of used American garments, food and medicine

Cheerful Balkan Burden-Bearer. The women of the Balkans, unlike their more progressive sisters in America, are satisfied to be the burden bearers of the city and town and countryside, preferring to let their men follow their immemorial vocation of going to battle and guarding home and country.
