THE READERS VIEWPOINT
The Italians Also Are Fighting

To the Editor Of the Euentn0 Public Ledger
Sir-An editorial comment which appears
in today's issue of your valuable paper
reads = mo matter how proud we are Of the
work Of the Americans, we must net forget
that the French and English are also fight
ing" Since the purpose of the comment Is
to appeal to the American sense of fair play.
I feel. justified in asking: And what about
the italians? Nobody doubts that they also
are fighting. Only recently they have given
a splendid account of themselves against the
Austrians. Their army in Albania is now
steadily chasing the enemy from the teSri-
tory he had overrun. In these very days
the Italians are standing in front Of Rheims
. cooperating with the Allied soldiers in de-
feating the common enemy. They were
hghting in France and repulsing German at
tacks in the very days In which their fell
low countrymen were defeating the Austri-
ans on the Piave.
As a nation. Italy has contributed, and
still contributes in a very large way to the
war for civilization. She has over four mil
lion men under the colors fighting in prac-
tically every Allied front In proportion to
her wealth, and resources, she Is giving more
than any other Power. Shall we keep on fof-
getting?
Your paper has always been so very i'm
partial and. might say, so friendly toward
italy, that ] feel inclined to attribute the
omission to a lapsus calami, or to add this
to the many other sins of the ever-guilty
printer r.. c. MORETTI
- Philadelphia, July 27.
(Admiration for the splendid work of the
Italians has frequently been expressed in
the editorial and news columns of this news
paper, and it will be expressed many times
more before the war Is over.-Editor Of the
