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. Many are built on the old trench dugouts, the inhabitants living underground. Some of the huts shelter as many as five families. 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
