American Ambulance at Front.

COMMENT

America can be rightly proud of the efficiency and the super-imminent services rendered by the American ambulance at the front. The American ambulance corps has now in its daily use and service 170 automobiles on the French front, and 225 are counted on in the near future. In the Paris sector these automobiles carry the wounded on the arrival of trains, from the trains to the various hospitals. They comprise 50 automobile ambulances, with a personnel exclusively composed of American young men in khaki uniforms. It is an imposing spectacle to see a train of 25 of these automobile ambulances rolling with military precision on the streets of Paris on their way to fulfill their mission of kindness and generosity. This service has won enviable fame for skill in its management of the wounded. Forty-four universities and colleges are represented, headed by Harvard, with 104 students, and Yale next, with 30 students. --Le Rappel
