EQUITABLE BUILDING NEW YORK CITY -
:tll11111111l~lllllul111111IC1l1llllllllilllilIlIIlllllllilllllllllilllllIIIIIIl11IIIIIII
Lansing, April 26.-Bay City is the
first city in the state to work out a
formal organization of its school boys
for joint military training and mobil-
ization for planting and care of food
crops, in line with the suggestion of
Nathan F. Simpson of the food prepar-
edness board of the state.
The Bay City plan has the endorse-
meht of the parents of 300 boys and
has been fostered by the northeastern
development bureau, the board of
trade and the school board of the city.
To have 10 Companies of 30 Boys
The plan provides for the organiza-
tion of the boys into 10 companies of
30 boys each, with a captain over
each company and a major over each
battalion. The boys are to have uni-
forms, military drill, and medical at-
tention, and are to be sent into the
agricultural districts to help the farm-
ers. They will have camps organized
along military lines in which they will
live, and will work not more than six
hours daily. Their pay wil be limited
to 15 cents an hour, of which not to
exceed $12 a month will go to each boy.
The balance will apply on the cost of
establishing the system.
The war board has undertaken to
find instructors and drill masters for
all colleges desiring to institute mil-
itary drill. It will also order for
home guard and college companies
dummy rifles of the identical shape
and weight of Springfield rifles, for
drilling. Sporting rifles and ammuni-
tion will be used by the organizations
on guard duty. These cmpanies will
be drilled in army tactics so that the
members will be well advanced when
the companies go into actual service.
War Board Aids in Recruiting
The war board is lending its assist-
ance to the state for forming commit-
tees to recruit the national guard to
war strength, to build up home guard
companies and to encourage men of
education and experience to enroll in
officers' reserve training camps.
At Owosso an organization has been
formed to encourage the latter pro-
ject and an enrollment of a dozen men
is anticipated. In Lansing a campaign
has just been opened to enroll 100 men
for Fort Sheridan. Michigan Agricul-
tural college will send about 50 to
take this training. The remainder will
be urged to "do their bit" on the
farms of the state.
Home Guards Being Organized
Home guards are being formed in
the state at the rate of five or six a
day. Lansing is clothing its firemen
and picked men of the factories of
the city with police power that they
may give the city protection when the
artillery batteries are called into ser-
vice. Lansing leads the state in re-
cruits and half a dozen a day are being
added to the artillery batteries be-1
sides the number of men enlisted for
the army and navy.

byterian church will hold its annual

While there is at present an en-
thusiastic movement among students
of the University of Michigan to or-
ganize several corps of ambulance
drivers for the battle fronts of France,
other colleges and universities have
had these divisions organized for some
time, and many of them have already
sent several companies across.
There are already more than 200
automobile ambulances now in Paris,
having been donated by Dartmouth,
Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton,
and Chicago.
Harvard Plays Big Part
Harvard thus far has carried the
big burden of the work. At the out-
break of the war Harvard subscribed
$10,000 for equipping the American
ambulance hospital in Paris. In June,
1915, Harvard took over one of the
British base hospitals with 32 sur-
geons and 75 nurses. That hospital
has been maintained by Harvard ever
since. Harvard has also sent an ex-
pedition to fight typhoid fever in
Servia.
The Harvard men in the service
have carried over 700,000 wounded
men, their section leaders have been
cited 16 times for valuable and effi-
cient work, 54 of their men have been
given the Croix de Guerre for brav-
ery, and two, the Medaille Militaire.
Three have been killed in action.
Entertainments Furnish Expenses
Throughout the different colleges
those men who are not able to supply
their expenses of transportation, are
furnished them by the proceeds of war
lectures, and college vaudeville per-
formances. If one university is un-
able to supply their entire corps with
money to get to France, another of the
universities engaged in the work pools
their finances with them, and the
money is thus secured.
Next to Harvard, Dartmouth is one
of the most prominent colleges en-
gaged in this work, for the students
there have already sent two corps of
22 men each across to France and
have nearly completed a third.
Cornell and Illinois Send Men
At the University of Illinois, 50 men
have already applied and have been
accepted in the corps. Cornell has
sent one complete ambulance corps
to France and is now forming another.
Several thousand dollars have been
subscribed for the purchase of cars
and equipment, and besides the corps
which has been enlisted several addi-
tional students are going to fill gaps
in other services along the lines.
Princeton is at present organizing
a complete corps, and will probably
send them to Paris by May 8. While
Princeton has sent several ambulances
to the front, and many Princeton stu-
dents have left for that service, this
is the first division of Princeton men
to go in a body.
Out in Berkeley, the University of
California has organized an ambu-
lance corps, with equipment and cars,
which will sail from New York May 4
to Paris.
Yale Sends Division of 22 Men
Yale has given a number of cars to
the ambulance service in France, and
a large number of Yale men have gone
over to join any division in which they
were needed. The school recently
dispatched a division of 22 men, and

several more like companies are now
being organized.
The qualifications for entering the
service do not include any physical
examinations. All men who apply or
start organizing a corps should know
how to drive a Ford car, and have a
practical knowledge of the engine and
its parts, though this is not absolutely
necessary. The expenses of the men
must be met by the men themselves,
and will amount to approximately
$350.
Take Oath of Allegiance to Allies
The oath of allegiance to the cause
of the allies will be administered to
all who enter the service, and to dis-
prove the impression that all men who
swear allegiance to the allies are un-
true to the United States, Secretary
of War Baker has written several
deans of colleges, telling them that
the work is of the most heroic and
patriotic character, and that these men
may be later used by the United
States when it sends an army across
to France. The men will be sent only
in units of 22, and according to the
French law, no man will be accepted
who is German or of German extrac-
tion.
No way to do it but to see as many
sible that are excellently made-of
colors-and of graceful lines.
