Poor little Roumania, once so happy
and so beautiful! Robbed of It's rich
lands by German hordes, its people
driven back upon themselves, the once
picturesque city Of Jassy is now
crowded beyond its limits with the
countrys destitute and starving.
Nothing but the most heroic efforts
of the American Red Cross has kept
ROumania from actually disappearing
from among the nations of the earth.
When all those who could leave the
country had fed Henry w. Ander-
son, American Red Cross commits
-sioner to that outraged country, stuck
to his post. Diseased, starving and
ragged people were all about him. The
cause seemed hopeless. Even Red
Cross money could buy nothing in
Roumania, for the country was strip
ped.
So Anderson appealed to our Red
Cross in Russia. There were sup
plies there, but how could they be

A GRUELLlNG NIGHT
FOR THE CANTEEN MAN

A Red Cross Canteen man YEARLY
banked the fires under the kettles.
Their billet IS in an old house near
by. BY the light of candle the Red
Cross convoyer undresses and rolls
into his blankets. Suddenly there
comes a sharp, cracking sound, and
red fare lights up the room. The con-
vOyer rolls quickly out of his bunk,
catches up his blankets and runs
down the rickety stairs to the cellar.
There he finds his French assistant
and a lot of soldiers. They exchange
mods and then seat themselves on
boxes. Four more sharp, cracking
noises follow in rapid succession, and
a mOurnful roar. This is only the be-
ginning of an artillery duel which
lasts all night.
At break of day the Red Cross man
besrirs himself, shakes his assistant
and tumbles up the stairway out into
the yard. It is st-ewn with debris. A
shell struck the next house in the night
and blew out the wall The convOyer
and his man set to work gingerly, for
the air is chill. They poke the fires
and throw on fresh wood and then set
to work TO prepare the food. Within
an hour the canteen is ready for bust.

This is a sample night Of a Red
