a sanitary commission that effective­
ly checked the scourge of typhus, bnl
after the United States entered the

sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref­
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi­
tals were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the grtny supplied with much needed
dental trsatment, farm machinery, and
seed* provided to help the Serbs re­
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition Into which these helpless vic­
