Calling Of Guard Lifts
States $5,O00,00O Burden
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An annual burden of more than
$4,000, 900 will be lifted from the 48
States during the year the National
Guard spends in Federal service.
During the 1899 fiscal year the
States and the District of Columbia
and Hawaii gave $1l,955. $50 toward
the pay and maintenance of the
Guard. The Federal contribution
totaled s43 ,223.523.
Disclosing those figures today. the
National Guard Bureau said it could
not estimate the exact amount of
the present State-borne expenses
which would be assumed by the
Federal Government. A breakdown,
however, gave some unofficial indi-
cation.
OF the total State expenditures,
$500 ,537 went for pay of the Guard,
s778,958 for supplies and equipment,
$3,309,030 for construction and
maintenance, $2,722, 426 for organ
national expense, s1,515,737 for
other purposes.
Once the Guard enters Federal
service, no State money presumably
will be needed for the Guard pay
roll, except perhaps for the salaries

Ambulance Reminds
Capital Of Horrors
British Face in War
Vehicle Tours City
Raising Funds for
Additional Autos

The unromantic. vicious side Of
war-of killing and being killed, Of
manning and being naimed-be-
came a little more tangible yester-
day to this Capital City of a nation
at peace.
A drab-colored ambulance, fitted
significantly with stretcherS and
room for four human being, hori-
zontal was touring the city. 1t is one
Of 100 already purchased with funds
raised by the British American AM
bulance Corps for shipment to Great
Britain.
Washington was the Goth city this
ambulance has visited in the last
month to raise funds for the pur-
chase of more ambulances. In the
custody of Terrell Van Ingen, vice
president of the corps, the ambu-
lance will tour Is other cities before
being shipped across the Atlantic on
an English ship.
Girls Receive Donations.
The ambulance is a six-cylinder
truck-type developed especially for
transporting wounded. Each costs
$3.50.
When the ambulance pulled up in
front of the Mayhower Hotel, crowds
Of curious Washingtonians peered
into its roomy interior. A cab driver
pulled alongside and shouted
brusquely:
Here, sister, put in this two-bits
for mel"
Seven teen-aged girls from West
ern High School were assisting in
the collection of donations. A
Washington policeman, assigned to
escort the ambulance on its tour
of the city. dug into the pockets
of his shiny blue uniform to aid
the British wounded.
Old Man Gives Coin.
While a perspiring photographer
arranged and rearranged the girls
for a picture with the policeman
giving his contribution, an old man
dropped several coins in box held
by one of the girls.
He hurried away before any one
could thank him.
Mr.. Van Ingen said so of the
ambulances would be sent to Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, leader of the
French who continue to fight, and
the rest would be shipped to the
British government.
