STATE COLLEGE WILL SEND
AMBULANCE CORPS TO FRANCE

State College, Pa, May 23.-Two
ambulance units for immediate SER
vice in France have been recruited at
the Pennsylvania State College.
Within twenty-four hours after the
summons came from Washington for
this institution to provide one unit
of thirty-siX men, more than double
that number of students had volun-
teered their services.
The State College authorities were
told that the surgeon generals office
of the war department needed 1,4O0
volunteers at once to take the places
in motor ambulance corps which
would be. sent abroad with the first
expeditionary force. While State Col
lege was asked to supply but one
unit, seventy-five desirable appli-
cants appeared and word was sent to
Washington that two bodies could
be raised. The men will be summoned
to headquarters this week for exam
ination and enlistment and sail soon
after.
Each unit will have one sergeant,
two corporals, one chief mechanic
two mechanics, two cooks, two
clerks, two orderlies and twenty-four
drivers. B. M. Hermann, an instruc-
tor in the history department and
varsity athletic coach is being con-
sidered as sergeant of one unit.
