Serbia is on it's feet again. The peo-

this year are exceptionally good.
There is now plenty Of food in the
country. There is. however, a short
age of clothing, shoes and fabrics of
all kinds. Farming implements and
machinery of every variety also are
much needed.
The physical condition of the people
is excellent. In some of the remoter
districts there is lack of doctors and
certain essential medicines. but this
need gradually is being met by the
American Red Cross physicians. who
Z have established free dispensaries and
Nclinics at many points.
