Village life in Transylvania. The main street of a town in the Transylvanian district of Roumania. American Red Cross relief workers found the villages neat and clean despite the fact that the men folks had all been called to war for five years and the women were left to do all the work
A group of Roumanian peasants and their children waiting for American clothes distribution at a Red Cross station at Ostrov, Roumania. These poor people had all their possessions confiscated by the invading armies and have lived for four years in rags pieced together in every conceivable way
Roumanian Peasants waiting the distribution of clothes. Next to food and medical attention clothing for men, women, and children was one of the principal needs of the people of Roumania. One of the first things that the American Red Cross did upon its arrival in Roumania was to supply this need. In the Ilfov, where this photograph was taken, the American Red Cross found a particularly distressing situation and speeding set about distributing clothes to the needy
Peasant Villages in Roumania that were not absolutely stripped by the Germans, Bulgars and Turks, during the enemy occupation of the country during the last two years of War, to-day have a population that is able to dress respectably on holidays or when occasion demands. These youngsters, who were photographed by a Red Cross man in Roumania, represent the most prosperous element of the peasantry
Clothed children who lived in rags. One of the measures imposed by the Germans on the civil population of Roumania was an order compelling them to turn over practically all the cloth in the country that was being held for the manufacturing of garments. As a result a large percentage of the population was left in rags when the war finally ended. Children suffered especially in this respect. The group of youngsters shown in this picture are an example of the condition to which the country has been reduced. A large part of the American Red Cross mission's work in Roumania has been to clothe children such as these. Distribution stations have been established in all parts of the country, and many trainloads of supplies have been given out to the needy people
Typical Transylvanian peasant children. The flowers they hold were gathered to present to the A.R.C. workers as they passed in their car to distribute medical relief to the people in the remote district. Generally the Roumanian types of womanhood are the most beautiful to be found anywhere in Europe. Their skins are clear. Their features regular and eyes jet black

These are Roumanian peasant girls in their native costume. It is the only dress they have had in five years, but its neat appearance shows the personal cleanliness of these Transylvanian country people. The American Red Cross workers, distributing relief supplies in this district, have found these people to be of extreme cleanly character in spite of their poverty
