In the Mountains of Montenegro. An aged mountaineer and his wife in front of their one-room stone house in the heart of of the Black Mountain Country. Their condition, ragged and comfortless, is typical of these people today. Their only possession of any value is the cow in the foreground. This ownership gives them a standing in the community, because cattle are rare since the enemy invasion. It is this type of people: hard-working, innocent victims of a great world upheaval that the American Red Cross is trying to aid in its relief work in the Balkans

Ba-a, ba-a, black sheep - Public domain American sheet music, 1881
A "good" road in Albania. This picture gives some idea of the transportation difficulties the American Red Cross workers had to overcome in taking relief to the remote mountain districts of the Balkans. Supplies were transported by mule and pack horse, while the roads are nothing more than goat trails in most cases. This picture shows a Red Cross caravan on what the Albanian say is a "good" road. On the rear pack horse sits a Red Cross doctor with a handkerchief on his head to protect him from the hot sun
The Wealth of Montenegro. Montenegro's wealth is reckoned by livestock not by money. Money today in the Balkans is relatively worthless. The sturdy peasantry has gone back to ancient days merchandising, trading sheep for a suit of clothes or a goat for a sack of flour. This picture was taken on the "wealthiest" farm, owned by a Montenegrin who spent six years working in the Colorado mines. When American Red Cross workers sent through the district distributing relief supplies he was one of the few who offered aid instead of asking for it. Incidentally he had a Red Cross memebership card. His little flock was saved from the enemy during the war on account of the inaccessible location of the owner's home, which is in a remote mountain valley, a natural fortress

The Street Life of Scutari. A typical scene in the streets of old Scutari in Albania. The buildings are irregular, lop sided affairs. Cattle, pigs and barnyard fowl mix indiscriminately with the people, whose dress was strongly Oriental. But now an Occidental note is creeping into it, due to the country's complete dependence for its first clothes in five years upon America. For the first year the American Red Cross has been distributing used garments among the ragged and wretched of the country
The Best Farm in Montenegro. Here is the most fertile farm in the smallest and least productive of all the Balkan states, Montenegro. It consists of thirty acres and was bought with money earned in the American steel mills. For the owner emigrated to America and remained for six years. He returned and invested his savings in this land and is now considered wealthy by his fellow countrymen. He has three head of cattle and a flock of sheep and goats. His home, a one-room shack can be seen to the left. The fence that encloses his truck garden he built himself, weaving it from brush. He is one of the few who did not need American aid, which was brought to Montenegro by the Red Cross immediately after the armistice. This "prosperous" farm gives an idea of the condition of the other farmers of the country who have not so much or such fertile ground
A herd of sheep standing next to each other. Black sheep sheep wool, animals.

Black sheep of the Balkans. This is the mascot of the American Red Cross Unit at Tirana, Albania, where a hospital dispensary and childrens school have been established. Black sheep are the most valuable livestock in the Balkans. Their wool is spun and woven into garments without dyeing, thereby eliminating an expensive process in the Balkans. This lamb was presented to Miss Margaret Mosely-Williams, the nurse in the picture by a grateful Albanian patient in the Red Cross hospital
