In Serbia. wfih lar- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ be- As far back as the first winter of rj_ the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia a sanitary commission that effectively checked the scourge of typhus, but after the United States entered the me" conflict, the Red Cross was able, In yle- August, 1917, to send a full commission that carried on extensive relief operations among the suffering refjust ugees of the tortured nation. Hospl, I tals were established, the refugees fed, clothed and given medical attention, the army supplied with much needed dental treatment, farm machinery, and seeds provided to help the Serbs redeem their land to productivity, and, not least, measures undertaken for the succor of the children. The terrible condition Into which these helpless victims of the war had fallen Is well portrayed by this photograph of a little Serbian girl wearing the rags j and expression of hopeless dismay 100 that were all she possessed when the - Red Cross came. ily. 0 a.

Palestine Is one place in the world which has no "servant problem," ae- 1 cording to Miss Evangeline Metheny of Beaver Falls,' Pa., Just returned from Red Cross service in the Holy < Land. "The servants In Palestine," says w?? .. i ?i,? i... thpre Miss Jitmiruj, win/ nn? n , t v. most of her life, "are a different set 'M entirely from the servants we have here in America. They via*e ^elr services personal; their interest in their employer's affairs is personal,' whereas the American servant regards J it impersonally. \ -9 I "In Palestine, if I were to tjell my ' $ I house servants that there would be ten people in for dinner, they SKjmld , . be delighted. It would be a matterstt personal pride with them that thelr^^ dinner was the l"-st to lie had, and J their sendee, too. They would be happy at tin- thought of working for | a mistress who had so many friends B that she could get together ten at one time. There would be no sulky looks | or actions at the extra work; every ' BH servant would co-operate and the dinner would go off grandly. B "Here the mention of an extra guest B or two creates a feeling of resent- B ment. I know people who do not dare 1 to Invite a dinner guest until they have obtained permission from their cooks. Cooks in Palestine consider B extra guests a compliment to their ji art. The servants in Palestine would ten times rather work for Americans than for the native population. The ;.s reason is not alone that we will, pay J higher wages?we treat them better. For one thing. American women do M not swear at them, and native women do. They All down every kind of B I curse on the servant's eyes, and his t|] children, and his grandchildren; they say the most untranslatable things as a matter of course. It is not in the least unusual, it is quite au fait, for an Arab woman to swear so." Servants in Palestine may be differ- B ent, but a woman is a woman the world ' ,J8 over, Miss Metheny says with Kipling '*1j and other authorities. "Once in a railroad train," she says, "I was sitting in the same compartment with an old native woman. In the East there are separate carriages for men and women. In our coach there was a particularly pretty girl, V^^B and from time to time a jruuijg juut '.VSM llsh or American man passed through, watching her. My old woman was aB kneeling on the seat with her aboes off, praying. In order to pray toward Mecca she had to kneel crosswise on / I the narrow seat, and the rite ti jj j , bumping her head on the floor sev- 5 eral times In each prayer was an ' acrobatic feat under such cireujnstances. Every time a young man Jfl came into the carriage she had to struggle for balance while she pnlled /? ; her veil down over her face. Flnglly she spoke to one. "My son," she saM, ' "do you not know that you have no right In here with the protected onee" . ^jAA (women)? He apologized, and she raised her veil when he went ont. "You know," Khe said to me in Ara| blc, "if I had any teeth left I would fl n not pull down my veil. I only do it flBBcg that people will think there la a alee * face behind it."
