70 AMERICAN COLLEGES
SEND MEN TO FRANCE
No Less Than 300 AmbuIances
Engaged in Active Service.

PARIS, June 9.-When Americans
return to Paris after the war, they
will probably have pointed out to
them the former headquarters of the
American Ambulance army during
the big war. Today these headquar-
tiers are extremely active and busy.
It is the American Ambulance Field
Service. The "commander-in-chie
directing the work OF hundreds Of
American youths who drive small
swift American Rmbulances on all
French battle fronts is A. Piatt
Andrew, formerly OF La Porte. Ind,
late of Gloucester, Mass. and former
Assistant Secretary OF the United
States Treasury in Washington.
None Of the commanders-in-chi
of the big armies in the field know
more about their forces every min
ute of the day than does the former
HoosIer about his little American
army. He knows, by daily reports.
every important move made by the
hundreds Of cars in the field: hoNs
many cars are in and out OF COM
mission; how many have been wreck
ed or destroyed by shells; how many
cars are en- route from America, and
how much help the American service
can give the French army next week
or next month.
Almost every part OF America is
represented somewhere in the ramb-
ling old Eighteenth Century mansion
which houses Andrews headquarters.
Aside from contributions from many
sources, more than seventy American
universities and colleges have sent
their students to save French life
on the battle fields. Never less than
800 ambulances are engaged in active
service, but over 600 have crossed
the Atlantic and have been put into
commission since the war began.
Between seventy and eighty have
been destroyed. The first car to
leave headquarters for the front is
still partly in commission.
Two big gsrages and workshops
attached to the Paris headquarters
repair and re-equip the American
cars when the damage Is bad. II II
Is trivial, the work Is done by NOV

GERMANY TO TRY OUT
FLEET, BRITAIN THINKS
Raids Taken As Eorerunner Of
Great Sea Battle.

LONDON, June e.-whsther Ger
many may be making ready to put her
battle fleet against England in the
naval engagement which all England
and the world have looked for since
the start OF the war. is a question
which the recent torpedo boat raids
has brought forward today. The be-
lief is strong among British naval au-
thorities that these frequent and APP
parently aimless destroyer raids on
the British coast may be "feelers out"
for such q great sea battle. There
have been q dozen or more destroyer
and cruiser raids Of late on the Brit
fish coast
The way the British naval experts
look at II, Germany 10 certainly up to
some game in rushing her light
cruiser squadron out OF Kiel and en-
gaging In apparently futile attacks
against defenseless towns-maneuvers
which have invariably cost her more
heavily than the British.
May BE ATestinE Out" Patrols
The theory on which this hypothe-
sis Of Germany's plan for q great sea
battle Is based Is evolved from the
idea that Germany may be trying to
draw the British watch dogs in the
North sea on their guard and distract
attention from q major operation
which they intend to spring as a sur
prise. Also the raids may be merely
testing out" OF the watchfulness
OF BritaIn's patrols, seeking a weak
spot in the armor.
One other view Of the constant
harassing OF British coast towns is
that II is . new form Of propaganda,
frightfulness by bonn
harding defenseless women and chill
dren and thus keeping constantly be-
fore England the fear of an inva-
sion from Germany.
England CONFIDENT of Victory.
Whatever their meaning, these
raids are welcomed by the British
fleet. which, powerless against sub
marines and mines, has been chatting
at its leash since the Jutland fight
Frequent engagements of the past
two months have satisfied England
that in q naval battle. ship against
ship, she Is easily Germany's su-
perior.
What the whole country Is looking
forward to now is a major naval en-
gagement with the FIRST line OF the
Kaiser's navy. long idle, pitted
gives in, England IL completely con-
against the pride Of the British en-
pire. In the coming battle, which the
naval authorities feel certain will
take place before Germany finally

dous victory.
