Four new members of A.R.C. A Montenegrin family of the better class, who applied for membership during the recent drive of the American Red Cross. They have aided the Red Cross work for the needy of Montenegro and upon learning of the oportunity to join the organization, came voluntarily to the Headquarters at Cettinje and subscribed. The father (second from left) is a veteran warrior, while the son has been fighting since 1912 and is still immobilized

The Jacob's Ladder of Montenegro. Leading from the city of Cattaro to Cettinje is the great stone highway that winds its way up the mountain side making 27 turns before reaching the summit overlooking the bay. The distance direct is a mile, but by the road it is ten. It is over this highway that the American Red Cross hauls all its supplies from its bases at Teodo and Cattaro for interior points of Montenegro and Albania. The route is very dangerous at many points as the rustling hulks of trucks and cars at the bottom of the cliffs will testify

Something New in Taxing Line. A scene at Podgoritza, Montenegro, showing the housing conditions. Note that there is not a chimney in sight. As there was a tax on chimney in the country under the old regime, the people preferred to let the smoke from their fires find an outlet through the windows. This led to a prevalence of eye and other diseases. American Red Cross doctors doing relief work in Montenegro say that the chimney tax scheme led to conditions that have made 60 percent of the civilian population tubercular. To combat this the Red Cross has inaugurated an educational campaign on sanitary living conditions

Sour milk markets in Montenegro. 'Clabber' or sour milk, a leading article of diet among Balkan peoples and believed by some scientifists to be responsible for longevity, is being sold here in the public market of Podgoritza. It is not used in any such quantities as formerly on account of the shortage of milk but it is something the people would rather have than almost any other food. No milk substitutes are to be had to take the place of pure milk for the starved, anemic children and the condensed brands supplied by the Junior Red Cross of America have answered a great need in orphanages and hospitals

Swinging from peak to peak. Aerial tramways have proved to be the most efficient means of transportation in many parts of Montenegro. This shows an aerial tramway rebuilt under American direction after its distinction by the Austrians. It was used by the American Red Cross to transport its relief supplies from the bay of Cattare into the hinterland. At one point this cable tram reaches a height of 3,000 feet. Below can be seen an American Red Cross car making the ascent up Jacob's Ladder, the only road across the mountains, covering a distance of ten miles to reach a height of 3,000 feet

Although they have on a semi Moslem costume, these women are christians which accounts for the lack of a veil.

He stands 6 feet 4 inches in his stocking feet and tips the scales at 327 pounds.

From Generation to Generation. These homes in the mountains of Montenegro are handed down. Built of stone hewn from the rocky slopes on which they were built, these houses last for an age. It is typical front yard and mountain home. It has only one window and no chimney although the fire is built on an open hearth inside. It is this kind of architecture that accounts for many of the eye troubles and lung diseases among these primitive people. In its relief work among these people the American Red Cross doctors and nurses are attempting to introduce new sanitary methods

What is there to laugh about. After five years of war, in which they have had to take the men's places in the fields, these three Montenegren maids find no reason to look other than serious. They are the type of hard working peasant people that the American Red Cross is helping to rehabilitate. They have brought several children of their mountain village to a Red Cross dispensary for treatment and are returning home with basketfuls of supplies given to them by the American Relief workers. Note the "pork pie" bonnets, the national headdress of Montenegro

The Gibralter of the Adriatic. Cattaro, the impregnable naval stronghold on the Adriatic, has been the center of Balkan and European dispute since the Dark Ages. Now it is the chief supply base for the A.R.C. work in Montenegro and Albania. Founded in the eleventh century, it has been under the domination of Serbs. Americans on the Dalmatian coast have been neutral in all political disputations. Here in Cattaro the first A.R.C. expedition to Montenegro was landed. Cattaro, gateway to Montenegro, nestling beneath a barrier of mountains that enclose town and gulf, is one of the most picturesque spots on the Dalmatian Coast. The photo is taken from the remarkable "Zig zag" road, which is seen climbing down the mountain side to the town below

The Three Wise Women of Smokovat. Three aged Montenegrin women, two of whom are more than 100 years old, were among the 1,500 destitute people who received American cast off garments from the American Red Cross during one day's distribution. Age is much respected in Montenegro and with it is believed to come much wisdom. So these women are supposed to be the wisest in the surrounding country. Despite their five score years they walked twelve miles to receive the Red Cross clothing. The first three men on the left are: Major E.J. Swift, of San Francisco; Lieut. Col. H.R. Fairclough of Leland Stanford University, director of the Red Cross Montenegrin unit, and the Serbian governor of Montenegro at the right with his back to the camera is Captain W.B.

So interested are some of them in what the bundles contain that even the novelty of having their photograph taken could not overcome their curiosity and excitement over the American gift

Courtesy and Poverty. An aged peasant woman of Montenegro, who was so pleased at having her picture taken by the American Red Cross photographer that she insisted on bringing out the jugof home made wine for her visitors. Courtesy is an inbred trait with these destitute mountain people of the Balkans. For every effort that the American Red Cross puts forth in their behalf, they give something in return, a bouquet of flowers, a few eggs or some trinket. Refusal to accept means keen disappointment to them. It is the custom of their country to return every favor in one way or another

American Hit Undertakers Hard. An undertaker of Podgoritza, Montenegro, on the way to the home of the corpse. There are no hearses so he had to carry the coffin to the house of the dead on his head. Before the American Red Cross arrived in Montenegro, the undertaker business was flourishing. But the establishment of hospitals, dispensaries, mobile medical units and orphanages in the country the Americans have reduced the deathrate greatly. It is customary for the friend of the deceased to gather about the home of the departed one upon the arrival of the undertaker, wail for hours and beat their breast as evidence of their grief. After this the coffin, with the corpses exposed, is carried in relays by the mourners to the cemetery

The Wealth of Montenegro. Montenegro's wealth is reckoned by livestock not by money. Money today in the Balkans is relatively worthless. The sturdy peasantry has gone back to ancient days merchandising, trading sheep for a suit of clothes or a goat for a sack of flour. This picture was taken on the "wealthiest" farm, owned by a Montenegrin who spent six years working in the Colorado mines. When American Red Cross workers sent through the district distributing relief supplies he was one of the few who offered aid instead of asking for it. Incidentally he had a Red Cross memebership card. His little flock was saved from the enemy during the war on account of the inaccessible location of the owner's home, which is in a remote mountain valley, a natural fortress

Transportation Difficulties in Balkans. A series of three pictures showing how American Red Cross supplies are handled in Montenegro. No. 12986: Climbing Jacobs Ladder into Montenegro. No. 12987: The Road of a Thousand Thrills. No. 12988: The Air Express from Cattaro. The Road of a Thousand Thrills. Tying itself into a score of knowt, unwinding, coiling & dipping crazily down the sheer side of a mountain 3,000 feet high runs the road that gives Montenegro its only outlet to the sea. But American trucks loaded with American supplies are negotiating this highway that was formerly considered safe for burros, mountain goats and ox carts. Every week a convoy of American motor cars laden with Red Cross relief material for the starving and destitute people on the other side of this natural Chinese wall makes its way over this road. The picture gives a good idea of the agricultural resources of Montenegro. The little crazy quilt patches are spaces of tilled ground that have been wrested from the rocks after decades of toil and are coaxed into producing all the vegetables that are raised with a radiius of ten miles. It is this way all over the Black Mountain country

The father and son of this family fell in the war and for five years, these two women have been living off the product of a half acre of rocky land. This crop of hay, they raised and gathered themselves. Now they are toting it on their backs to market. They did not know of the generosity that America was offering their land, and were surprised when stopped by an American Red Cross Officer and told that if they were in need of clothing and food, the Red Cross would supply them. The bundle of garments at the mothers feet was their present from America. It is the first new clothes they have had in five years

Armistices come and go, but there is always trouble in the Balkans. Although the armistice was signed more than a year ago, these Serbian soldiers are still marching with full equipment. This picture was taken as a Serbian battalion was crossing an ancient Roman bridge into Montenegro just to throw cold water on some hot-headed royalists who were getting rather loud in advocating the return of King Nicholas, who has fled the country. The picture illustrates the barren bleakness of the country which has been saved much suffering by the speed with which the American Red Cross has come to the people's aid with relief supplies

Ralph Adams of Lake Forest, Mich. have done splendid work in teaching dental hygiene and bringing dental relief to isolated communities in every part of Montenegro

If the Bakers' Union Knew. What goes on in Montenegro among the followers of their craft, there would be a great to-do. For after a baker gets done baking, he goes out himself and peddles the bread. Like the picture, the bread is carried on a long board, containing thirty three loaves weighing five pounds each some load. But while the housewives can't complain of the service, the American doctors and nurses who are fighting the American doctors and nurses who are fighting disease in the Balkan country don't like the method. It is unsanitary and many cases of disease have been traced to it, according to the Americans. This custom and many others connected with the food supply, the Americans are trying to correct in aiding Montenegro to get on its feet again

Les Miserables. The lame and the sick waiting outside the American Red Cross dispensary at Niksic for treatment by the American doctors and nurses. The war brought dire want, destitution and suffering to the people of this little Balkan state. Red Cross investigators found fifty percent of the population suffering from some kind of illness. To stem this tide of disease and teach better sanitary standards of living the Red Cross set up various medical stations in the country, in addition to its hospitals, playgrounds, sewing rooms and relief depots

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

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.

These mills are centuries old but still follow methods practiced in the Dark Ages

Wasted Wealth in the Balkans. Thousands of dollars worth of "white coal" goes to waste in the Balkans every day through failure to make use of the existing water power. This grist mill has been in operation 350 years but it is utilizing only one fiftieth of the power that could be generated on this spot. Impressed by the tremendous coal shortage Europe is enduring, American Red Cross sanitation experts in Montenegro while inspection in the mountain streams to detect typhoid sources, have been amazed at the possibilities for hydroelectric installations

Market Day at Ryeka. This picturesque scene at the northern end of Lake Scutari is repeated every week when market day is held. Poling their queer little boats along the shores, the peasant people come from the foothills with their produce and livestock. Sheep, pigs, and goats are carried in these frail looking craft along with the children. Most of the business is done by trading one article or animal for anther with very little actual money changing hands. Clothing is one of the articles that is rarely dealt in, it is so scarce. But the American Red Cross has established a relief station at this little trading post and all these who are ragged are given cast off American garments

This is how the homes of Montenegrins look to the traveller. The country is so mountainous that very little level space can be found for villages.

A Marvelous Transformation. A series of three pictures illustrating the "before and after" periods of American Red Cross clothing distribution in Montenegro. The Raggedest Man in Montenegro. With clothes that were patched, darned and held together by bits of twine, shedding ravelings at almost every step, this man wandered into the market place at Podgoritza with a goat which he spent four years in a mountain cave during the Austrian occupation of the country with the goat as his only companion. With the money secured from its sale he set out to buy some clothes but could find no garment that could be bought at that price. He was picked up by Lieut. Col. H.L. Fairclough of Leland Stanford University, director of the American Red Cross work in Montenegro, as the raggedest of all ragged men in the country, and taken to the Red Cross relief station

The picture shows the feet of a mother and son who came to the American Red Cross station in Podgoritza, Montenegro, asking for aid. During the war, many soldiers went shoeless, even in winter, several thousand losing their legs as a result of frozen feet. Red Cross doctors say that 25 percent of the winter illness in these countries today is caused by lack of proper clothing and foot protection. The American relief organization has already distributed several tons of used American clothing and shoes in Montenegro

Dirt Worth Dollar A Pound. Plain black dirt is worth a dollar a pound in this Montenegrin village. All the black soil in the village could be swept up and hauled away in a five ton truck. When American Red Cross relief workers found this town all the food in the village had been consumed and ninety-five percent of the population was ill and starving. Scores of Montenegrin villages were in the same situation. For centuries they have been obliged to import food to piece out their meager ration. When the food shortage came on during the last years of war towns like this were scarcely able to keep alive. Survivors who were given Red Cross food are the youths and middle aged folk. The very old and very young are dead. Those who lived try their best to make their little garden plots produce

The ruins of an old Venetian bridge can be seen in the left background while at the right the week's wash is out to dry. The weekly market day in Ryeka has a double meaning to Albanians peasants now.

Most Fertile Valley in Montenegro. Perhaps there are one hundred acres of cultivable land in all of this valley in the interior of Montenegro, but it is by far the richest farm land in the country. Productive soil is one of the scarcest things in the little Balkan state, while Montenegrins say that they have more rocks and stones than all other nations together. But with all this the people of this country have to live off their farms almost entirely. During the war the enemy occupation production dwindled. After the armistice, when the American Red Cross arrived with relief, they found hundreds of children dying of malnutrition and the population in rags. Mobile medical units were sent into the farming district to look after the sick and tons of clothing and food distributed to the women and children

The Tombstone Country. A typical piece of Montenegrin landscape, where 300,000 people must find a living. In normal times it yields barely enough food to feed the inhabitants and has very little foreign trade relations of any kind. Everywhere one sets foot there are rocks and boulders, hence the name "Tombstone Country". Since the armistice the American Red Cross has been aiding the people in this little country in their effort to become self supporting by teaching the children industrial pursuits and nursing the thousands of sick back to health

The Red Cross truck is due with a load of clothes for them-the first they have had in five years.

Men Who Popularized Pajamas in Balkans. Lieut. L.N. Tuckerman of Boston is the smallest officer in the Montenegrin Commission of the American Red Cross but he originated one very big idea, that of putting Red Cross pajamas to use as trousers for the Moslem women, and this idea enabled the Red Cross to largely increase its relief work in the Balkans at the time when every ounce of effort counted. He is shown here with his back to the camera at a distribution of second hand clothing in Montenegro, wondering how his scant supplies can be made to do for such a large number of deserving people. It was on this occasion that he was struck with the Great Idea, and for with took over for external clothing purposes the large stock of pajamas which nobody in the Balkans could be persuaded to use for night garments

The Country God Forgot. Montenegro got left when fertile soil was being passed around way back at the beginning of things. Many huge piles of barren rocks with a puny fir tree planted here and there was all that nature did for her. So when the war brought the enemy into her land to carry off every piece of movable property, the Montenegrins were in the same plight at the armistice as a man lost in the desert. The first relief to reach them came through the American Red Cross which sent several shiploads off of clothing and medicines. Now there are a dozen Red Cross relief stations to care for the needy all over the country

The Best Farm in Montenegro. Here is the most fertile farm in the smallest and least productive of all the Balkan states, Montenegro. It consists of thirty acres and was bought with money earned in the American steel mills. For the owner emigrated to America and remained for six years. He returned and invested his savings in this land and is now considered wealthy by his fellow countrymen. He has three head of cattle and a flock of sheep and goats. His home, a one-room shack can be seen to the left. The fence that encloses his truck garden he built himself, weaving it from brush. He is one of the few who did not need American aid, which was brought to Montenegro by the Red Cross immediately after the armistice. This "prosperous" farm gives an idea of the condition of the other farmers of the country who have not so much or such fertile ground
