WAR
on ORIENT FRONT
Salonique
German prisoners at work.
German prisoners do much of the work for the American Red Cross at its Salonika Warehouses.
It's work they are glad to do,
for the big barrel labeled "flour" are more precious than the pasha's jewels in this part of the world where they had almost begun to believe the chief ingredient for bread didn't exist.
The Red Cross has now stacked seven huge warehouses full of such supplies,
including large medical store

Monastir Bitola
Macedonia
After the Bulgarians and Austrians were driven from the hills around Monastir,
the A.R.C. established ist first civilian hospital in this old Turkish school building.
It had the roof, windows and doors shot out by shell-fire and the floors ripped up for the soldiers.
But the Americans repaired it with the help of some prisoners of war
and is now caring for seventy five people within its walls.
The cases are mostly typhus and civilians,
wounded by shells and bombs accidentally exploded in the nearby fields.
In the background is a Turkish watch-tower, built and used by the Ottomans during their regime over this country to keep a constant eye on the town and surrounding country
