organizations yesterday afternoon a report
from the subcommittee on hospitals and ambu
lances was submitted, which stated that il such
service were to be established il should not b,
for the military organizations alone, but should
include Also the civic organizations. To es:ab

lance service for the military organiza-
tons alone, the report states, would
not cause an outlay OF more than $1,000. To
lessen the expense Gen. Ordway, commanding
the District National Guard, has offered TO the
military committee the service of the ambu-
lance and hospital corps of the District militia
After discussing the report it was decided to
