w WILLIAM Il. BERRY, Prince
" ton graduate, has written
w from the ield vivid and
interesting description of the
work OF the American Volunteer Motor
Ambulance corps, which has been do
ing effective service with more than
twenty cars for the wounded OF the
French army.
The American Volunteer Motor Am

break OF the war by Richard Norton.
son Of the late Professor Charles Eliot
Norton. II Is supported almost entire
ly by American subscriptions. and
prominent society and humanitarian
leaders OF Washington have carried on
campaigns for its support.
II is composed principally of Ameri-

could not fight from physical disabili-
ities also have Joined 1t. Most OF the
American volunteers are college grad
