Kitchens roll to Russia. The old army "rolling kitchen" has rolled all the way to Russia. The old slum wagon was not the most popular eating house in the army butis is one of the most popular in the overcrowded ports of the Black Sea. Thousands of refugees from inland towns gathered at the ports without shelters, food, or even funds. Hundreds were on the verge of starvation and the town's supplies were exhausted. The American Red Cross with the aid of six old army kitchens which had been sent out from France opened suoupkitchens where thousands were fed daily. This picture shows Lieutenant L.M.
