 Serbian soldiers may be seen on all the roads of Serbia, from the south ern frontiers to the Danube, slowly making their way to their homes on foot, the war over, their fighting done "a long trail for these plucky defen- ders of Serbia, who stood in the mountain trenches for four years without release and went through the last campaign without woman nurse, without anesthetic for their wounded.

 Russian Children Made Happy.
 No feature of the civilian relief work of the American Red Cross in North Russia has elicited greater ap- preciation than the American lunches which have been served in all the public schools and orphanages of Archangel. School work, according to statement by the superintendent of Archangel schools, could not have continued in many cases without Red Cross help, since the children were in such an ill-nourished and weakened condition that they were unable to undertake the journey to and from school
 The sentimental side of this relief seems to have impressed the children most strongly. They are moved with new curiosity about the children of that distant democacry about which they are just beginning to learn; and since they are told that the cocoa and biscuits which they receive comes from them through the Red Cross, they devise new ways each week to show their appreciation. The head quarters of the Red Cross in Arch angel is piled with toys made by Rus sian children for their friends in America. This new friendship is something they will never forget.
 At a recent celebration at the Alex androff Orphanage, handmade lace collar was presented to the Red Cross officer who attended, to be sent to Miss Margaret Wilson, about whose distinguished father the children have heard so much. Hand-worked hand kerchiefs were also sent to the ..1.~.1 al;15rov, NP orioo

 "The Death Train" s
 Stark realism reminiscent of the old school of Russian fiction makes the fact story, "The Death Train," in the April number of the Red Cross Magazine, which shows the terrible state into which great Russia has fallen. Simply reproduced from his dairy, written while the scenes were still burning themselves into his mind, Rudolph Bukeley's description of the trainload of diseased, crazed, dying and dead prisoners, dragged madly over into Siberia with no destination in cars rocking with filth, appeals even to those who know what Siberia is today. Eight hundred Of the poor wretches died before the American Red Cross workers could do anything against the panic and chaos that accompanied the train.
