however, he had his beard removed

PETER THANKS AMERICA
Serbian King, in Retirement in Greece
Praises Bed Cross Work.


Athens, April q, (Associated Press)
king Peter of Serbia, who is living
quietly alone in a little suburban re-
treat overlooking the Bay of Piraeus,
six miles from here, expressed
through The Associated Press today
the profound gratitude of the Ser
bian nation for the Christian charity
of the American people so marvellous
ly organized by the Red Cross"
The venerable monarch, who viii
be 70 years old in June, spoke with
great feeling Of the assistance given
by Americans to the population Of
Serbia and to tens of thousands OF
refugees, repatriated prisoners and
wounded soldiers who since the arm
istice have poured into the country
over every road and mountain pass
THE smiles which the American
Red Cross has brought to the faces of
my people," he said, "are the best ex-
pressions of gratitude can give the
American nation, for those smiles are
but the reflections OF hearts and souls
touched by the kindness and charity
Of greater people"
King Peter was prompted to speak
by two photographs he had received
from Major Daniel J. Mccarthy of
Davenport. Iowa. in charge of Red
Cross relief work at Skopolje, Serbia
One showed a group Of ragged, bare
footed, despairing women and chill
dren in front OF the Red Cross relief
station at that place and the other
showed the same group after having
received baths, clothing and foot
from the Red Cross. One was pic
ture of misery and detection; the
other of contentment and joy.
