CONTINGENT WILL SAIL MAY 19

Twenty-nine members of the University have signed up to join the American Ambulance Field Service in France. This contingent is scheduled to sail from New York for Bordeaux on May 19. Some Steamer of the French Line will take the unit across. Applications to join the Ambulance Service have been pouring in so fast from all over the country that all accommodations for sailing up to June 2 have already been filled. In all, 192 men will go May 19 to drive ambulances, 203 the following week, and 165 on June 2. Many of these men have signed up to serve during the duration of the war, while the others are either going over for an indefinite period or for the usual six months.

The Norton-Harjes Service is contemplating accepting only those men who will sign up to drive until the end of the war. However, the American Corps does not expect to adopt such a policy. If members of the University wish to join the American Service they are to put in their applications immediately. No additional men can be singed up to sail before June 2, and at the rate applications are now coming, accommodations for this date will soon be filled. Men who want to join the Corps are to see G. R. Young '19, 40 State street, Boston, immediately. The following members of the University will join the unit that sails May 19:

H. Alberts '19, W. C. Appleton '17, F. F. van den Arend '17, P. C. Bentley '17, H. W. Broughton '20, R. E. Dickerman '19, E. R. Dukette 3L, D. S. Dunbar '19, P. K. Ellis '18, J. Endicott 1L, H. W. Evans '18, J. S. Harlow '17, R. S. Hillyer '17, J. F. Howe '18, F. B. Hubachek 2L, A. L. G. Jensen '17, H. D. Jordan '18, N. W. Lee uC, L. duB. Le Fevre '17, J. W. Lowes '20, H. W. Patterson '20, A. O. Phinney '17, E. S. Russell '19, R. G. Spencer '20, S. A. Stevens '19, W. B. Stevens '19, A. LaP. Strehlke '19, E. Whittlesey '18, J. B. Wolverton '20.

The American Corps is considering taking up transport work so that when the United States troops go abroad the Corps will be able to take care of the transportation for such an army. As a means of fitting itself to carry on efficiently this work, the Service expects to organize in Paris a school for instruction in the organization and manipulation of motor-truck units.
