Child refugees from Russia. On the American Red Cross relief ship bringing Russian refugees from the port of Odessa in the Black Sea hundreds of children had the first wholesome food that they had ever tasted. Some of them had never tasted salt before, that being one of the most difficult things to obtain in Russia at the present time. When they arrived in Constantinople, where they were deloused and given medical attention before being sent to the concentration camp arranged for them on the island of Proti, far out in the sea of Marmora, they were met by Junior Red Cross of America directors who had large supplies of clean clothing, shoes and underwear awaiting them. To these miserable, unoffending waifs, who have known little but suffering and terror in their short lives this was almost the first sign that human kindness was to be found in the world. Their changed spirits spoke worlds of gratitude for American children whose slender savings brought them so much comfort and happiness
Feeding Poland's children. Little refugees before one of the American Red Cross feed kitchens in the city of Brest-Litowsk in eastern Poland. There are 10,000 children in this city being cared for by the various relief organizations. The majority are refugees from all parts of Poland and Russia. Two thousand are orphans. All have suffered from undernourisment and many are infected with the typhus fever. The Americans are making a manful effort to brighten their lives
The poor children of Warsaw. An interesting crowd of Polish children at one of the American Red Cross welfare stations in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Many of them have received knitted caps and sweaters made by the woman of America and they are very grateful. After feeding and clothing them, the Junior Red Cross recently sent them 10,000 farming implements to use in their community garden scheme, by which the children will help to grow food for Poland
American health measures for Balkan babies. Miss Blanche Grundy of San Francisco, nurse in the Junior Red Cross of America Children's clinic at Elbasan with her interpreter and one of the many children who have undergone treatment there. Junior Red Cross propoganda in the cause of child welfare is slowly enlightening the fogged minds of native mothers in several of the Balkan countries on the subject of hygiene and home care of their babies and growing children
Find children ragged, undernourished. Perhaps the greatest calamity to be found among the destitute populations of central and Eastern Europe is the starvation among the children. Investigators who have been sent out by the American Red Cross report that the coming generation are in an alarming physical condition, a large percentage of the children being deformed from lack of sufficient nutrition. A determined effort has been commenced by these relief workers to better the condition of these children. They are being fed with food sent from America. Clothes are also supplied to the children who for several years have been clad in little else than rags such as the child in the picture is wearing
A.R.C. in North Russia. Famine and hunger in Archangel. On the steps is seen a Russian peasant who has fallen exhausted from starvation. Large number of the Bolshevists were so underfed over long periods of time that the slightest exertion caused them to collapse. The American Red Cross took up the matter of providing food for these unfortunates, and distributed large amounts of food from their stores. The photograph is taken on the steps of the fuel pier in front of American headquarters
Volunteer Workers in Roumania. A group of Roumanian peasants who volunteered their services to the American Red Cross at Bucharest in making garments for the poor in the devastated areas. One of the most admirable traits of these simple couuntry folk is a disposition to help their less fortunate sisters in the devastated countryside. The only return they sought was a little kerosene oil, so that they could work nights, and this the Red Cross was able to furnish them without difficulty
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
American nurse an oracle in Albania. Albanian mother seeking advice at the Junior Red Cross of America children's clinic in Tirana and Miss Mabel Steel, of San Francisco, the chief nurse, making a blood test on the five months old infant. Due to a prolonged diet of rice and flour the child is a victim of malnutrition and in the advanced stages of anemia. Education that will equip native mothers with a knowledge of baby hygiene and feeding is the great cry of the hour in Albania as in other Balkan countries for with a threatened scourge of tuberculosis and wasting diseases the thousand of underfed and neglected children are said to be in great danger of succumbing almost 'en masse'
Farewell to baby feeders. The children of Riga marching to the railway station of Riga to say goodbye to the last of the members of the American Relief Administration (Hoover Commission) who have completed their child feeding program in the Baltic states. The Hoover commission did wonders for the health of the children of Riga, and will never be forgotten by them. Their food stuffs were supplemented with medical supplies and clothing from the American Red Cross mission operating in the Baltic provinces
