...work of the American Ambulance Field Service in Europe will be shown in moving pictures at the Union next Wednesday night. Dr. A. P. Andrew '95, head of the Service, will explain the pictures and describe the work that is being done abroad.

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...
