In Rouuianla when that stricken nation
stood In rags and starving before the

And yet we felt so helpless, you and

were we not the very onea who car

Xournanla! fog shall be your own

Fighting with the desperation of de

still struggled to beat off the Kaiser's

No country around Roumanla could
hslp her and America was too Tar
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
ne sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and ny the dripping sword of the Kai
ser was closing In. A brave little na
tion was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn
ing the streets of Jassy, the war car

of rejoicing. A city where the day he-
fore there was heard nothing but the

You, my friend : yon who have w

Roumanla. A train of SI big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food, clothing and medicine, tons

after making a record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross In Russia. Other

For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumanla are being

So was Roumanla helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
of a sturdy nation was kept out of the
