Wouldst Buy a Fine Saddle? Here is the saddle makers' market in Scutari, Albania. You might just call it the "Transportation Exchange" of this city, which is commercially the center of Northern Albania. The buildings in the background are the Khans or inns, and besides them heaps of pack saddles. Horses, mules and donkeys, saddled ready for riding or for packing, stand in groups ready to return homeward after the bazaar. Albania has no roads of any general usefulness, so the pack animal does most of the transportation work. Here is seen the key to one of the chief difficulties which the American Red Cross has encountered in its relief work in the Balkans since the armistice. The roads are no good for motor transport, and the energetic American must conform himself to the lazy mule transport in his attempt to reach the suffering villages. There are few good ponies nowadays on account of the war; the mules are better but small, and the donkeys are like all of their kind the work over. Some of the American Red Cross "packtrains" in Albania have consisted of nearly fifty animals, and the sum total of their effort is about equal to one small motor camion. The saddles are not unlike the familiar American sawbuck, but more complicated. Their manufacture is really quite smart, so coventionalized that you can scarcely tell one from the other. The pattern is in fact the same from Albania to India

Ste. Honorat, near Cannes, France. Leave men visiting the Monastery. The Brother, in his cowl, who acts as guide tells them the history of the old fortress monastery, which was sacked so often by the African pirates. The men do not understand his language, but the old world romance of these quiet pine groves and historic walls need no language to impress itself deeply on their minds. This is part of the leave area of the American Red Cross for it's personnel
"Sunny-Brooke" Cannes, the American Red Cross home for aged Refugees of the devastated districts. In this picture one can imagine the luxuriant semitropical growth of the French Riviera, where the Repatries have been very happy. Lt. has had charge of this institution for the American Red Cross, but his work has been made simple by the conscientious, economical management of the French people who are in charge. Although the work has cost the Red Cross very little in actual money, yet the old people will see manny a hard day before they will finally return to their own homes in the North; as the Red Cross cannot indefinitely continue to support even the needy French people, who must be looked after by their own Countrymen now that the war is over
Reims, France. Interior of the American Red Cross Canteen at Reims, France. This section of the devastated district has been opened to sightseeing parties made up of the members of the A.E.F. This Canteen is situated in what was a school house. The windows are all blown out, and paper window panes used instead, but the Red Cross, with a few materials and much American initiative, managed to make the place fairly comfortable. Capt. R.J. Faure and his assistants, Miss Bennett and Miss Porter are in the background
Cannes. View from the American Red Cross headquarters on the water-front at sunset. The superb sunsets and the picturesque shadows of the palm trees are a never ending source of interest and enjoyment to the Red Cross workers and those on vacations at Cannes. The view across the bay to the distant hills the lone palm in the foreground forms a dramatic composition which few of the always quick-witted American fails to notice
American Red Cross Franco-American Canteen somewhere in France. Canteen which is located in the cellar. This canteen is established in a very exposed post where the men all live in shelters. The canteen is in the cellar of the house, and sand bags are piled up at the entrance above ground. The house is a complete ruin nothing remaining except the stone floor on the ground which protects the canteen underneath, and this floor is covered several feet deep with sand bags. This post is under intermitted bombardment most of the time and only a few days ago the convoyer had the door of his shelter blown in. Everyone was forced to remain underground all day
Paris, France. The American Red Cross Enlisted Men's Hotel #13, at Champ de Mars, Paris, in the course of construction. Made entirely out of salvaged tents, there are accomodations for 1,400 men. A fully equipped canteen and recreation hut go to make this hostely complete. The work was started on February, 18th and finished in nine days. It was necessary for the Red Cross to provide sleeping places quickly, for the men, passing through Paris, were coming in great crowds. In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, it is indeed an ideal site for the purpose
