The Field Service is now reviving
its active ambulance end. Stephen
Galiitti, of Ifcw ''^qrk, .second in com
mand during the last war to the
Hon, Piatt Andrews, now dead, is
executive chairman and Thomas
Hitchcock is trea.surer. The intention
is to equip at lea.st 31 ambulances, a
number equal to tho.se in the last war,
and send them to France as soon as
possible to be ready for the definite
ly "Spinng Push.” Should this “Spring
Push” fortimately not happen, the
ambulance will be used elsewhere
where they are needed.
An ambulance and its maintenance
(including shipping charges, in.sur-
ance and spare parts) costs 52,000.00.
Each ambulance hears on a plaque
the name of the donors, individual
or pomnniity. From the time an am.
bulance is ordered imtil it can go in
to sei’vice takes a little more than
two and a half months. Two months
to build and .ship, and organize the
section of drivers with their officers;
three weeks to train the section. An
ambulance ordered now would reach
the front lines in France around the
7th of May. The war will probably
begin in April.
