WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3O.-- Clad in new uniforms, and equipped with sweaters and helmets furnished by the Navy League Comforts Com mittee, one thousand men from the Allentown Ambulance Camp have sail ed for service at the front in France.
 With their grey knitted helmets snugly fitting over their heads and around their necks, the thousand bright fellows who have gone to al- leviate suffering in the trenches look ed like so many "water aviators" as they hung over the deck rails of the trars-Atalantic steamer which was to carry them into service abroad
 The Comforts Committee of the Navy League, knowing that these men would be exposed night and day to the hardships of a bleak, cold winter of Northern France, made three ship ments of warm woollen garments to the commander of the Allentown camp.
 Sweaters, helmets, mufAers, and wristlets, made by the loving hands of mothers, sisters and sweethearts left behind, were included for the boys who volunteered to labor for the suf- fering.
 That the Ambulance Drivers ap- preciate the patriotic labor of the American women who unselfshly gave time and money to provide them with necessary warm clothing is demon strated by a letter which has been received by an official of the Navy
