Montenegro Is in a pitiable state.
The Inhabitants are destitute. 'Dwel

shell fire. The young men are gone.
There are no tools to work with, no
seed to plant. The city dwellers
have no livelihood. Kach day the

kilo of iliroud and two quarts of
thick ineuty soup, American nurses

(0 sick persons daily.

ing worn by the 'Montenegrins was
made by the women at home, either
of linen or wool. Only a small
number of offlciuis and tradesmen
used Imported cloth. During (he
war no clothing waa made and now
the home supply is cut off because
there ia not enough labor to pro
duce food and no one can . spare
time for spinning or weaving.
As a result Montenegrin men,
women and children are clothed in
burlap sscking. There Is not enough
sac king to go around and the moun
taineers huddle In their huts during
Inclement weather. When one of
their number, generally a child, is
sent after the 'Red Cross rations he
or she is supplied by making a round
Robin collection with sufficient
sacking to keep warm during the
Journey to the relief station.

itsa, American doctors and nurses

geons' principal work has to do with
