BUCHAREST, Rumania, June FL
(By Mail) Queen Merie of Rumania
is at present busily Engaged in assist
ing in the distribution of a trainload
of American Red Cross supplies,
which she personally conveyed from
Paris to Bucharest.
During her recent visit to France,
the Queen made known the emer-
gency medical needs of the Rumanian
soldiers n refugees. She obtained
three carloads of medical and surgical
equipment from the Red Cross and
had three cars attached to the royal
train on her return journey. Upon
the arrival here the supplies were i'm
mediately dispatched to central points
for distribution to the military hos
pitfalls which were in need. Other
supplies were set aside for the refu-
gees fleeing from the fighting zone in
Bessarabia.
These supplies have now been aug
mented by a shipload of material
which has arrived at Galatz from the
Red Cross ~storehouses in Athens. To
insure their prompt delivery, Lieut.
Col. Henry w. Anderson, Red Cross
Commissioner to the Balkans, himself
accompanied the ship from Athens. 1t
was met at Galatz by Rumania staff
officers and its arrival was the occa-
sion for a remarkable demonstration
on the part of the populace.
The resumption Of hostilities in
Bessarabia is keeping the hospitals
there well filled and in adding hun
dreds to the already large number of
homeless refugees.
