comity really ;BrSteeBtif " in
this Ambulance Company at this writ
ing total eighty 4s;'iinnberr Thirty
two of this namber have been tarnish
ed by Euiston. - " ' -
The Ambulance eerrtce from the outr
set of the war has appealed to the beat
class of men. Our Universities hare
furnished scores of men to act as Am
bulance drivers. In fact, 'nearly; --all
the American Ambulance- units- in Eu
rope today are more" largely manned
by college students and young profes
sional men from the United States than
by any. other class. The very flower
of the country in the way of intelli
gence and social standing are availing
themselves of this opportunity to ren
der service.
It appeals to the young man who
wishes to shoulder his part and keep in
good company.
In a few days active -conscription
begins. The personal right to select
any particular branch of service will
then be denied to those who are. sub
ject to draft. In a few days Ambu
lance Company No. 43 will be com
plete. It is nearing completion now.
For a man to enter it, he must apply
within the next three days. Make your
application to Dr. Vance Perry, Kin
ston, N. C.
Dr. C. O H. LAUGHINGHOUSE.
That the call to the Medical Relief
Service is being heard by North Car
olinians, resident out of the State, was

Up to date, Kinston, N. C, is .he
banner town in point of . huinber& '
. From this one town therei have been
received twenty-three applications, and
also from this town there has volun
teered one of the medical officers, Dr.
Vance P. Perry, who will accompany
the unit commissioned as a Lieuten
ant. Dr. Perry, in a letter to head
quarters today, says : .
The young men who have volun
teered from here are all representa
tive of the young manhood of Kinston
and excellent specimens of physical and
moral youth. Among the number are
six or seven expert mechanics of sev
eral years' experience, automobile and
garage men chose.n with a view of main
taining our unit in a mobile condi
tion." From New Bern, the recruiting of
fice manager, Mr. Hubert F. Hanks,
has reported ten applications, togeth
er with four from Plymouth and two
from Washington.
At the headquarters, Raleigh re
cruits to date total" only eight, but it
is realized that Company No. 43 makes
the ninth, organization for service in
the present war to be recruited with
headquarters In the capital eity, and
this immediate territory has responded
nobly. However, in the surrounding
country, appications have been fre
quent, and during the past two days
there have been enrolled from Smith-
field 2, Sanford 3, Fremont 3, Whita
kers 3, besides others from Tarboro,
Fayettevilie, Raeford, St. Pauls, Hen
derson, Ddrhain, Mt. Olive, Chapel
Hill, Pinehurst, -Hiftsboro and Hills
boro. The efforts of the headquarters man
agers to have the several ambulances
contributed by individuals, societies
and towns in Eastern North Carolina
incorporated as a part of the equip
ment of this company, are- meetiuj
with success. It is feared, though,
that the two ambulances so generously
provided for by the citizens of Dur
ham may not find a place in this unit,
as their plans for moving those cars
to France, together with their drivers,
have proceeded such lengths that the
greatest good cannot be accomplished
in - changing them. Regret was ex
pressed, however, that the idea of
such a plan was not .presented to them
in time, as they realized the double
benefit such a course would have at
tained. Men of Eastern North Carolina,
make that wonderful v discovery that
you tod, are not afraid? to go the limit
for America, .France , and the Allies.
And though you may be scared; dor not
be scared to keep right on or to go
through it all again if necessary. '
The Government will soon begin to
draft men into it's army, and'ihtima
tipn. has been given that some of the
drafted men wil -be placed in the reg
ular army regiments where their iden
tity as North Carolinians will be lost.
When you are drafted, your right! to
select; the unit. that appeals to. you. has
L been lost. It Ambulance Company No.

to yon," make . known your . Intentions
before it 4s too late.
