Mud Huts for Homes. A scene today in the old war zone of Roumania. From the ruins of the battlefields, the Roumanians have constructed these shelters from mud.

It was in this district that the American Red Cross doctors and nurses found much disease. The unsanitary conditions were a constant source of epidemics
