File:American Food "Welcomest" Thing in Montenegro. 12232v.jpg

English: Title: American Food "Welcomest" Thing in Montenegro. Landing a steamer of food at Ragusa, on the Dalmatian coast, bringing American food supplies for the needy of Montenegro. Almost no food is to be had in this section of the Balkans, except that furnished by outside relief organizations, and the people have reached a state of weakness from hunger that is appalling. The American Red Cross has distributed tons of food and clothing in all outlying districts and in the cities. Women and children have been the greatest sufferers, and they were in a state of complete helplessness. What with shortage of men and labor, and prolonged political helplessness, and governmental disturbances, production is at a very low ebb, and consequently the women and children already much weakened from deprivations of every sort, are martyrs
