"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
