PARIS, April 13. — A little band
of American college men are making
a name for America in the Halkans
today. This band is composed of
more than 50 ypung Americans who
sailed for France about a year ago
to become ambulance drivers for the
American ambulance field service, un- ,
der the direction of A. Platt Andrew,
of I<a porte, Ind., and Gloucester,
Mass., former assistant secretary of
the United States treasury.
Two sections of ambulances in ad
dition to many others now working
on the western front are with the
French armies in the Monastlr re
gion of reconquered southern Serbia
Carrying wounded always at night,
over wild roads, through rocky moun
tain passes and over mountains is
only part of the work these American
collegians are doing, according to Kn
nis Itrown, of Charleston, S. who
has just reached Paris on his way
way to America, llrown joined the
ambulance service while a student at
Virginia university. He Is the first
American to return since the Ameri
cans embarked at Marseilles for Sa
lonica.
‘For months since our allies took
Monastlr otir ambulances have been
very busy in the Balkans." Brown told
the United Press today.
"Prom our headquarters near Mon
astlr we have carried the wounded
from the trenches north of Monastlr,
from Koritza to the west, where the
French blesses come from the front
lines hy mule back over the mountains
and from other points wherever we
are directed by the French military
authorities. Sometimes It has been
necessary to use good strong Ameri
can arm work to pull even our light
American cars over the difficult
roads.
"To give some sort of an Idea 4hat
the wounded are going through, it is
sometimes fifteen days before a man
reaches a good comfortable hospital
after he Is wounded on the front line
west of Koritza. Our ambulances can
only penetrate as far as Koritza. Here
we take aboard men who have travel
led for days on mule back. We then
rush them as fast as possible toward
comfort in the nearest thing to a mule
that can be found in the Balkans —
our little Detroit made ambulances.
"Sometimes the American drivers
take their earn almost to the front
trenches north of Monastlr. Usually,
however, we can pick up a load in the
town Itself.
"All drivers are armed with revol- j
vers now on account of the Turkish !
and Bulgar comitadjls, who have no j
use for Americans. Several drivers, j
including John lmbrey, of Washington, I
D. ('., have had adventures with them, |
but luckily so fsr no one has been
hurt."
When Brown left the Balkans seven
cars of the two sections had been
smashed by shells, four of them be
yond repair. Among the members of
his section were Arthur Blumenthal.
of Wilmington, N. C., famous football
star at Princeton In 1913; Lovering
Hill, of New York City, former Har
vard student; Powell Benton, Phila
delphia, of the University of I'ennsyi
vanla; Charles Baird, of New York
City, and many others, mostly Har
vard students.
Before Brown went to the Balkans
he had driven an American ambulance
through the big attack at Verdun last
year. The termination of his six
months' enlistment and ill health
caused him to leave for home. Despite
finding himself on a ship en route
which was the victim of a submarine
in the Mediterranean, Brown reached
Toulon and Paris In safety.

PARIS, April 13. — Artlflclil lf...«.
made from papier m-iche and matin"
less than 75 cents each, are being sup
plied to wounded soldiers in Paris
hospitals. The paper legs, which are
the invention of a Danish surgeon,
are merely for temporary use, hut
with care will last from six months
to a year. They are made on the spot,
ran be used a fortnight after the am
putation, and obviate the necessity for
crutches while the patient is conval
escing.
A hospital orderly can cut out. fit
and complete a paper leg for a patient
In about half an hour. The work takes
a day to dry and set, and may be used
the next day by the invalid.
