RELIEF CORPS ENROLLS

The physical examinations for the Red Cross Ambulance Corps which is being formed in the Medical School are now being held at the office of the organization at 83 Newbury street, Boston. The hours at which the enrolments may be made and the physical examinations may be taken are from 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

This Ambulance Section will, in accordance with a proclamation of the President and by an act of Congress in reference to the Red Cross, go into federal service as soon as the enrolments are completed. The Company is already half full and the enrolments will be completed within a few days.

Instruction Will Be Given Soon.

The training and instruction will take place as soon as the corps is full and will be supervised by Dr. E. A. Cunningham, who is captain of the section. He is also supervising the enlistments. The work will consist of some theoretical work and the regular infantry drill. Lectures will be given by experienced men on first aid to the injured, elementary hygiene and camp sanitation, administration and customs of the service, and on elementary nursing.

The men will probably be taken to France at the end of two months' training and it is expected that they will be transferred to any American troops that may go to the front.

The company has been formed in connection with those which the Navy and War Departments have instructed the Red Cross to organize. The work performed by it will be similar to that of the American Ambulance Field Service except that the wounded will not merely be transported from the front but will also be taken care of at the hospitals. Although the company may, either as whole or in part, be required to man hospital trains, hospital ships, or if the need is great, the emergency hospitals, it will be used mainly to furnish transportation for and to give first aid to the wounded.
