NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Lowell has received a letter from the headquarters of the Belgian Red Cross in La Panne, where a large part of the Belgian army is now located, acknowledging the receipt of one of the five motor ambulances for which the money was raised here early in the winter.

A translation of the letter follows: Ambulance Headquarters,   La Panne, March 5, 1915.

To the President of Harvard University:

Dear Sir:--We have received in good condition the "Ford" ambulance given by the students and friends of Harvard University to the Red Cross of Belgium.

We beg you to have the kindness of expressing our thanks to all those who shared in this donation. It is gratifying for us to see in their gift an expression of the sympathy of the United States for Belgium.   Yours sincerely,   DR. DEPAGE, Chief Surgeon.
