Thirty-one members of the University will sail for France from New York on the French liner Chicago today to drive American ambulances at the front. Passports were issued from Washington to the volunteers apparently with no delay, in spite of the crisis. A good deal of anxiety naturally has made itself manifest in regard to the safety of the passage, but the French line has assured the American Ambulance Field Service Headquarters that every precaution will be taken. This may well mean that the ship will be convoyed throughout its voyage, although no definite promise has been made to that effect. The passage is from New York to Bordeaux, a route on which no liner has been sunk.
