AMER| CANS ARE DOING GOOD
 WORK BALKANS

PARIS, April 13. "A little band of American college men are making a name for America in the Balkans today. This band is composed of more than 30 young Americans who sailed for France about a year ago to become ambulance drivers for the American ambulance field service. un- der the direction of A. Piatt Andrew, of Laporte Ind, and Gloucester, Mass, former assistant secretary of the United States treasury.
 Two sections of ambulances in ad. dition to many others now working on the western front are with the French armies in the Monastir re- zion of reconquered southern Serbia.
 Carrying wounded always at night, over wild roads, through rocky noun. tain passes and over mountains Is only part of the work these American coilegians are doing, according to En. his Brown, of Charleston, s. C., who has just reached Paris on his way way to America. Brown joined the ambulance service while a student at Virginia university He is the first American to return since the Ameri- cans embarked at Marseilles for Sa- lonica.
 For months since our allies took Monastir our ambulances have been very busy in the Balkans" Brown told the United Press today.
 From our headquarters near Mon. astir we have carried the wounded from the trenches north of Monastir. from Koritza to the west, where the | French blesses come from the front lines by mule back over the mountains and from other points wherever we are directed by the French military authorities. Sometimes it has been necessary to use good strong Ameri- can arm work to pull even our light American cars over the difficult roads.
 'To give some sort of an idea what the wounded are going through, 1t is sometimes fifteen days before man reaches a good comfortable hospital after he is wounded on the front line west of KOritza. Our ambulances can only penetrate as far as Korltza. Here we take aboard men who have travel led for days on mule back. We then rush them as fast as possible toward comfort in the nearest thing to mule that can be found in the Balkans - our little Detroit made ambulances.
 Sometimes the American drivers take their cars almost to the front trenches north of Monastir. Usually, however, we can pick up a load in the town itself.
 "All drivers are armed with revol- vers now on account of the Turkish and Bulgar comitadjis, who have no use for Americans. Several drivers. including John Imbrey, of Washington, D. C., have had adventures with them.

The bandits worked quickly. secured ua- monds and other gems valued at S5O,- 900 and made their escape. Their operations took exactly seven min utes.
 Squads of police in automobiles and on motor cycles are sweeping the town for the bandits.
 The men worked with no masks up- on their faces but their faces were made dirty by an application of what looked like burnt cork and two had on false boards, the third member a large brown moustache, one end having come torn loose from paste on the up- per lip.

The hat is most com fortable. It also can be rolled up to pocket size or worn under shrapneI helmets.
 The campaign hat is still worn at billets and in barracks.
