AN UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPH, TAKEN NEAR THE SUMMIT OF THE FAMOUS APRICA PASS AMIDST THE DOLOMITE ALPS.—The view is particularly interesting in view of the fact that the spot is very near the frontier between Italy and Austria, and gives a vivid idea of the stupendous difficulties which our gallant Italian Allies have to face in attacking Austria. The picture was taken shortly after sunrise, and the sombre grandeur of the higher peaks will be appreciated. The valley on the right descends abruptly over 2000ft., but the roads are well defined by means of posts placed at very short intervals. The cars shown in picture are Napiers, which have proved so successful in negotating the Alps of France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
