Once the Headquarters of Invaders, now an American Refuge. From this fine Turkish Office Building in Prizren in Western Serbia, the Bulgarians directed their War Operations. It was one of the few buildings they left intact when they retreated. The American Red Cross has taken it over and established a Hospital with a capacity of 100 beds. It was in this town that the Serbian Army made its last stand in the great retreat into Albania

Serbian Boy Scout. This bright youngster of the Balkans belongs to the orphanage of Belgrade, the Serbian capital, one of the numerous institutions of its kind receiving the attention of the Junior Red Cross. The Serbian orphans have seen Americans almost since the first days of the war and have come to regard them as part of their lives. Most of the boys belong to the Boy Scouts, modeled on the lines of the American and English scouts

Burried in food. This little burro is literally burried in food, these little animals are the favorite means of transportation in Serbia and they are usually loaded down with packs which almost conceal them from view. The load of food is not for its cartier however, as hay is far too expensive for donkeys. After the load is sold the animal will be turned loose to rustle his own food, because of the lack of other transportation facilities hundreds of tons of American Red Cross medicine and hospital supplies have been distributed to the inland hospitals of Serbia buy burro pack trains

Hour's argument over one plastre. A kneeling Turk in the market place at Skoplje, Serbia is trying to buy a garment from the Christian lady. He has been there for an hour arguing over the price, a difference of one plastre. The (?) in the foreground, who, by the way, uses his own shoe polish, has been an interested spectator throughout. This is one of the towns where the American Red Cross established a hospital and feeding station for Serbia's destitute

Where fathers bill are light because women's styles never change. Every Saturday this colorful scene is enacted at Tetevo in Serbia near the Grecian borded. It is market day and at three different public squares in the city there are markets selling women's goods, cattle and this is the women's market. Note the similarity in dress of all the women in the picture. Balkan women don't have to bother about individual dress designs or changes in style. Each village or district has its own original design of dress for women and the women wear it although it was designed a hundred years ago. This particular town adopted a dark red and white striped skirt of coarse wool with a jacket or waist of white material loosely belted and ornamented with deep red embroidery down the sleeves and the front. Even when they receive American clothes from the Red Cross they make their dress conform as much as possible to the village costume. The house in the background is worthy of mention in as much as it is typical of the country which up until a few years ago was under Turkish rule. The front is of white plaster painted with various Turkish designs and colors. Note the grilled windows, the sign of a harems abode

Serbian farm homes. This picture shows some of the quaint and simple farm homes of Serbia and old Macedonia. Serb farmers usually live in small villages and go many miles to the fields where their crops are grown. In reality they operate two farms, for they always have a truck garden around their dwelling, as well as the far-away plot of land devoted to corn and wheat. The American Red Cross has been the means of American farming machinery of all sorts being introduced into Serbia. Before the war the most difficult labor was accomplished by hand but modern methods seem to be taking hold there now and it is believed that Serbian farmers, once they have been convinced of the "better way", will lose no time in adopting American ideas. This photo shows a Serbian village near Nish. The ground is planted for the summer crops and many of the late blooming trees are in flower

What Tales They Could Tell. These old American Red Cross ambulances reached Serbia during the war, and were used in transporting wounded Serbian soldiers until they fell apart. Serbia was at war for seven years and during that time the roads were never repaired. It was terrific strain on motor cars. There are about twenty of these broken down ambulances piled together in a military area at Belgrade, and they really deserve better treatment, because they are real veterans of the great war. There has been a suggestion of giving them a place of honor in the military museum at Belgrade

American cars in Serbia. Two American gasoline cars, made by the Fairbanks and Morso Company, are the price of Serbian railroads. A licence to certifying the driver to be a gasoline engineer is issued to the men who run them. No one but the drivers know anything about gasoline motors so they are considered the authority of the road. These cars are capable of making 40 miles an hour in experienced hands but the Serbs rarely get more than 20 out of them. This picture shows the two cars being used by American Red Cross photographers while making a motion picture along the route of the railroad. The cars were turned over to them as a special favor for the work which the organization has done in the country

This picture won't please the Germans. It shows some wool that they missed. Harrassed for years by the Turks with oppressive taxes the Serbs of the country around Tetevo near the Albanian border proved too clever for the Germans and Austrian military confiscators when they swept through the country in 1916. Many drove their little herd of sheep and cattle into the mountains and secreted them in caves and unknown vales for months. Some even buried them beneath haystacks. When the enemy was driven back, they suddenly come forth while supplies of wool and other raw materials. The stock was small to be sure, but it brought the fortunate one a very good price. Here is shown a group of shepherds at Tetevo with the stocks of wool they saved from requisition. Combined with the American Red Cross clothing distribution it is going far toward relieving the ragged and destitute condition of the Balkan people

This Turkish house on the banks of the Vardar river at Gostivar in Western Serbia now houses a round dozen Americans, who are doing relief work in the Balkans under the A.R.C. It is typical of insolated residences in this country, its ground floor being solid masonry enabling the owner to resist attack from marauders at all times. The entrance can only be gained through the garden which is walled in. The windows are grilled because it was originally built by a rich Turk who had a harem, the members of which spent all their time drinking coffee and gazing at the snow-clad mountain peaks in the background. What happened to the Turk or his harem is not known to the present occupants, who are content with the comforts of the place and too busy with relief work to be interested in the former resident's family affairs

A type of the shrines often found beside the water wells of Serbia. Among the superstitious these shrines were a sure protection against contamination-a substitute for what city dwellers in America know as chlorine. The more elaborate the decorations, the purer the water was supposed to be. But American doctors directing the Red Cross Medical Relief campaign judged the water from a chemical standpoint and many of the shrines lost in prestige there by as the A.R.C. men found that disease was rampant in some of the ancient wells

Three wars in seven years with Turks, Bulgars, Austrians and Germans as enemies is enough to try the patience and burden bearing ability of any people. But the Serbs have gone through it and emerged with plenty of national spirit. But it's been reduced to the spirit of the mountain burro patient, slow, and uncomplaining. These little beasts were practically the only livestock left to the Serbs. So the burdens they carry are larger and heavier than the animals themselves. This shows a Serb mountaineer packing American Red Cross relief supplies on a burro for transportation to a remote village

The aprons are made of coarse handspun wool with fine red and white stripes. The jackets are the native costume of the village from which they come. They hav ewalked many miles for Red Cross supplies. Several of them are barefoot and none have stockings

Serbians never had the hospital habit, for the simple reason that there were no institutions to practice the habit on. This native woman of Monastir was induced to visit the American Red Cross hospital after suffering several days with an ear-ache. Dr. Eugenie Flod Keyes and Dr. Mabel Flood of the Red Cross staff are administering relief in the above picture. The Serbian woman is doubtful but patient. She is dressed in the native costume of Monastir, each town of the country having its own brocaded in bright colors. At this dispensary, 150 people are treated every day

Scraps of cloth that defy description save that they are unclean and insufficient form the only clothing of thousands of children refugees in Allied countries even now.

Serbia's fast mail. In Belgrade, Serbia's capital, one mail wagon carries the post from the general post office to the trains. Those leaving for south Serbia, and the east, cover ten miles an hour, and are classed as express trains.

A Method to this Madness. One of the biggest bridges in Southern Europe was this one across the Danube, connecting Belgrade, Serbia with Semlia. It was destroyed by the Germans in their retreat, one of the enemy officers explaining the reason for destruction as the need of German bridge builders for new orders. Knowing the havoc it would work on transportation and the immense demand for reconstruction material in all Allied countries the Germans believed Serbia would be forced to come to Germany after the war to reconstruct it. But the bridge is being repaired without German aid except the enemy prisoners who are working on it without pay. American relief efforts have been greatly hampered by this destruction as Red Cross supplies entering Belgrade must be towed across the river on barges and Red Cross nurses have to row across from Belgrade each day to reach their work on the other side

American Agricultural School in Serbia. With modern farm machinery, brought in by the American Red Cross, Serbian farmers are learning the latest methods of gathering crops. During the war, Serbia was stripped of its rather ancient farm implements by the enemy. To assist her to get in sufficient food supply for this winter, the Red Cross imported nearly a million dollars worth of machinery, distributed it throughout the country and sent Americans to operate it and teach the Serbs the mechanism
