On the western front the auto mobile ambulances quickly speed back the wounded from the front lines. Likewise medical attention and hospitals ar. e near at hand for the Russians on the Eastern battle line, though supplies 'are scarce. But the task .of .caring for the Italian wounded among the un- stable snows and mountains of the Alps is almost inconceivable.. Often the sufferers' must be transported. In box -like cars sliding on. over- head cables or even lowered by Topes down the mountainsides. On snow sledges or by burrow back are the most 'common '"methods of carry - trig the Italian woiunded down the mountain trails. Intense suffering' and often do nth is caused before the hospitals, utiles .away, are reached. Treacherous snow, ice and "rocks,. and the extreme cold, cause many casualties among the Italian sol - diets. Thousands -of amputations have rr•,sulted in the two years of warfare among perpetual snows. The Italian Red Cross Society and the Royal Italian Government fund for orphans of fallen Italian soldiers ask of their Canadian ally —"Will you help?" In answer to., this appeal Southern and Western. Ontario have fixed a. goal of $100; 000 to be raised by popular sub- scriptions. Campaigns will be con- ducted during August and Sep- tember. Every dollar given to the Italian. Red Cross Society will shorten the war against Germany and it- hor- rors. Every fit fighting" roan in the trenches, be he Canadian, British, Italian, or other ally, makes more efficient fighting forces—thus has- tening the war's end.
