American Red Cross in North Russia. The largest building in Archangel is the great prison, belonging to the old regime, when prisons were a very vital and important matter in the business of government. It was emptied by the Bolsheviks when they arrived in Archangel, and it is now again filled with Bolsheviks, being used as a barracks for American troops. It was built by the Swedes during their occupation of this part ofhte coast a hundred and fifty years ago. The walls are nine to fifteen feet thick, which is remarkable in a two-story structure, and the windows are barred with irons two inches in diameter, while the doors are all solid iron. Architecturally it is not all so good as the part shown in this picture, which is the court side of the main entrance. The tallest man in the group is the American Assistant Provost Marshal, Lieut. Wron of Detroit, who was in charge of the prison Next to him is Lieut. E.W. Hallowell of Los Angeles, American Red Cross, then the old Russian chief of the prison and his assistant

American Red Cross in North Russia. The garden of the governor's mansion in Archangel. The governor's mansion is now the American embassy, where one or two of the American Red Cross officers have their headquarters. The young Russian boy in the picture is an employee of the Red Cross. He comes from the Russian "middle class" and is very useful as an interpreter, speaking Engllish, Frenchm German and Russian. The Garden House is entered from the walled garden of the mansion. It is typical piece of modern Russian architecture, and has a fine site overlooking a long stretch of the river
AMERICAN RED CROSS in North Russia. The Archangel Monastery-Farchangelsky Monastwe. The first Red Cross boat to reach Archangel landed directly in front of this building. The monastery is located in an eight sided stockade with a little block house at each corner. The church is very ancient, and quite the grandest building architecturally in Archangel, with white wall, green tiled roofs, and five big domes covered with sold gold leaf. It is easily the most picturesque of all the domed buildings in North Russia and the big mushroom-shaped domes have a striking appearance as compared with the more slender domes than some of the other churches. The roofs of the block houses and the stockade walls are bright red. This is the church which is most largely used for important funerals which are always superb performances with bands, a hearse built up on the columns with canopoied roof, horeses covered with white lace, and preceded by a procession of priests in gorgeous robes of gold and silver before whom is spread a continuous carpet of evergreen boughs. There is always a band which plays splendidly dignified and solemn funeral marches

Schoedsack of Los Angeles. They have stopped by the roadside to get up circulation after a ride of ten miles
ARC in North Russia. The headquarters ofhte ARC in Archangel. The RC flag flies from each ground floor corner of the big building. The building is of brick and concrete and formerly housed the North Russian branch of a large Russian tire fire and rubber company. The Archangel street cars are always a great novelty and a source of much amusement to the Americans. It is peculiarity of the Russian that he has no idea of hurrying aboard a street car. When a Russian has got his foot on the rear step, he thinks that the task of getting aboard the car is finished, and he sees no reason why he shuld disturb himself to let others aboard. The result is that three Russians at a street corner will tie up a street car for an indefinite length of time. During the railway strike, when the American soldiers were running the cars, they got impatient with this dilatory Russian custom and accordingly they used to start the cars without warning, leaving a struggling mass of Russians half on and half off
American Red Cross - Refugees - American Red Cross in North Russia. American soldiers and some children who they found starving near Archangel. When news was brought to camp, all soldiers chipped in to give out of their own supplies of hard tack, bully beef and bread, but that was not enough. One of the soldiers volunteered to nurse the dying mother and her little girl. Another soldier was sent at once to American Red Cross headquarters, a trip of an hour and a half from this small outpost camp, for expert help and a trained nurse. The nurse left at once with the soldier traveling throug a blinding snow storm to the little peasant cottage

Lieut. Wesley right, of Chicago and Rochester, NY is shown in the winter outfit of the American officers, as designed by Sir Ernest Shackleton. The hat is black fur and white canvas, so arranged that the fur flaps can be turned down to cover the whole head. There is a warm leather jacket worn over the uniform, which cuts out the cold wind and is generally all the is needed even in the coldest weather. For sentry duty and times when the men cannot exercise there is also a brown leather overcoat, lined with white sheepskin. The same outfit is furnisheed now to privates as well as officers. Next to Frost is Lieut. Emil Jurgenson of Chicago who is carrying a copy of the Red Cross Magazine, from which the men in North Russia receive a large part of their knowledge of what is going on in other parts of the world
