I am expecting a wonderful experi ence, only fear it will be "pretty hot" for us down there, for you know what's going on. Twenty-eight men, all experienced on the French front as members either of Norton Hayes or American Ambulance Field Service sections, compose the first unit and a second and probably several more will be dispatched later if called for by the Red Cross leaders who are now in Italy. G. B. Fife, a newspaper man con nected with the Red Cross, is a mem ber of the party and will be the his torian of the long automobile trip. The majority of the ambulances are Fords as they have proved themselves best for work of this character in hilly countries. The men will carry thfeir own supplies and we will have as passengers a few other Red Cross workers—Gor don Sarre and George von Utassy, are chef and sons phef. Just wanted to let you know we are "off" for the Italian front. My best to all inquiring friends. MEADE. I Miners and Operators Asked to Forego Holidays' By Associated Press Washington, Dec. 17.
