An application of the famous Smith

the American Red Cross in Greece
In Saloniki and environs there are
10000 refugees. of whom 100000 are

refugees in most cases are housed in
huge barracks. and when the Ameri-

Each camp or refugee area was put
under a director. and failure to fulfill
his regulations, the refugees were told
would bring a sudden end to their
food supplies. Each group of 100 peo-
pie were called on to supply one man

They rebelled at first, but when the
measures were carefully explained
the refugees saw that the forced de-

The sanitary measures are but

of the American Red Cross for which
$4,000, 900 has been spent in the pur-
