APPEAL FOR AID.

More than year has passed, in
which the Acknowledgements troops
ave been at the front, arrayed
gainst grim and manifold enemies,
5ho from all sides, north, east and
,utt, seek their destruction.
In the spirit of intrepid and un-
onquerable defense have the Aus
| ro-Hungarian soldiers, united in
rue comradship with the Germans,
leld their own against mighty at
acks; they have overpowered their
opponents, and together with their
'aithful allies, won for themselves
never fading glory.
On battlefelds hundreds of miles
'ong, on the vast plains of Russia
n swamps and wooded wilds, in the
snow and ice-covered canons and
ulysses of the Carpathian noun
tans, in the rocktowers, the peaks
and the glaciers of the Alps, on the
sun-burned declivities of the Karst,
on the borders Of the Danube, the
| save, the Vistula and the Bug, the
| San, the Dnjester, and the Isonzo
| rs we'll as on the waters of the blue
| Adriatic, everywhere have these
brave men bravely struggled. Ever
| and everywhere have they fulfilled
their warriors duty. full of enthUsi-
asm, never fearing death, with
never-failing courage, and never
swerving devotion.
Thousands have died the death
of the hero. Thousands are brought
back with fearful wounds. Due to
charitable and well-organiZed care,
by means of modern chirugical ap-
pliances, it has been possible, not
81 fNS
number of the wounded, but also
to heal them completely. However,
large proportion, in the flower of
their youth, and the full strength
| of their manhood, have suffered an
of eyesight!
These men are indeed to be pit
| led. They have given their best to
their country and ar now helpless
and unable to work.
From poverty and need must
| these stricken men be protected.
| Their fate must be alleviated by ar
tificial members, by instruction in
the different occupations for the
crippled and the blind, by the pur
chase of all necessary material for
these purposes. BY all the ways and
means possible to science must their
lives be made more bearable, more
beautiful.
Is there a nobler aim than this.
All We, who possess a heart for
these Courageous soldiers, all We
near and distant countrymen of
these sufferers, without regard for
nationality, or religion, all We man
| full, citizens of free America, to We
all we address the heartfelt prayer:
"Help these brave men in their mis-
fortune"
But especially upon you, We wom-
en- Of America, who are ever ready
with comforting and helpful hand to
alleviate misery. we turn to you
with the prayer: "Give them your
help, help these brave unfortunates.
In assisting these crippled men,
you assist their wives and children.
