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. Presbyterian C.

Chapman, Optrometrist and Jeweler.c 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 Hutzel's MAIN AND LIBERTY I MIMMMMIIS mm I I i TYPEWRITERS For Reat or Sale li-- I SPRING Typewriting Multigraphing ] ieopwaphing Hats & Caps IHamilton Bushioss College State and Wiliam 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.
