Ambu,.ne. Driver. w..t.a

An extremely urgent appeal for
ambulance drivers for oversee ser
vice has been received from Wash
ington by George F. Oxley, Director
of the Bureau of Personnel of the
Mountain Division, American Red
Cross, and each Chapter, through its
Military Relief committee, it's Pub
licity committee and it's Secretary, is
requested to enroll competent men
for these positions.
Ambulance drivers with the Red
Cross will be furnished their uni
forms, transportation from New
York City to the theatre of war and
return, transportation and mainten-
ance during their period of service
and salary of $4,000 per month
from the scheduled date of sailing
until their final discharge.
Individuals making application for
enrolment should be prepared to en-
list for the period of the war, al
though the Red Cross term of enlist
ment will be but six months, with a
probability of the United States gov
ernment taking over all Red Cross
ambulance sections prior to that
time, whereupon the enlisted men
would serve out the remainder of
their six months enlistment and then
be discharged and return home, or
would complete their enlistment with
the United States army, at which
time they would be given the option
of leaving or remaining in the service
as part of the army medical corps.
Applicants must be in robust
health and must be between the ages
of 81 and 35. No applications from
men within the draft age will be con-
sidered unless the applicant has been
examined and rejected by the local
exemption board because of some OBJ
vious physical defect.
Applicants must be able to qualify
as expert drivers, and be able to
make ordinary emergency repairs.
Application should be filed out on
service enrolment application blank,
Form No. 200; as revised February
16,191s, which blank should be filled
out in detail and forwarded through
the Local Chapter to Division head
quarters and which should be accom-
panied by three letters of recommen-
dation and verification of capability.
