 Miss Sabine was in Europe at the outbreak of the war.

J. Soubititch head of the Serbian Red Cross. Her narration of her experiences and ob.. servations is said to be of absorbing interest and her talk is illustrated by her own photographs, so that the scenes described are made graphic and vivid in an extraordinary degree
