GETTING FOOD INTO BALKANS
Almo1t insurmount5b,e Difficulties
o,ercoms by the American Relief
Administration.

Que of the most unusual features
of the work Of the .Alner1can relief
administration in distributing food
Throughout Europe is the manner in
which supplies are carried into
mountainous Montenegro. This is
described in report issued at the
Office of the administration.
In order TO get food into Mon
tencgro it is necessary to scale q
nonntain 1000 feet high by cable
WAYS. Wagons. burros and pack
horses are then utilized in moving
il into the interior along roads which
are almost impossible and again by
cable over bridges destroyed during
the war. Overcoming what seemed
TO be almost impossible transport
conditions, the American relief adj
ministration has kept up steady
flow of food to four centers, where
the government is in control Of dis
tribution.
The monthly program for Monte
negro, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Here
goyina Is 1900 tons of flour, sos
tons Of fats and 80 tons Of milk.
Proper railroad transportation from
Ragusa, the chief supply point, is
made impossible by lack Of rolling
stock, the steady returning march
Of prisoners of war and military
needs.
