S—Eliot Norton, is New York lawyer, Mother of Pro- lessor Richard Norton, the founder of the American Volunteer Ambulance corps, the chief Red Cross unit with the Second French army, makes pub Iic a letter wriften to him by William R. Berry, attached to the corps, giving a vivid description of its work and the dangers its members have to un- dergo. Professor Norton was but re- cently decorated by the French Gov- ernment with the Military Cross. Mr. Berry's letter dated Baisieux. Somme. June 1, states that the corps fins been removed to a base less than six miles behind the lines and tells his experiences during 24 hours at a post half a mile or so from the trenches. “Two of us, onatwo-stretcher, three sitter ambulance,,arrived at the ap‘ pointed village a little after midday." the letter reads, “but still in time to bid goodbye to the French guard car which we were to replace. At. 2: 30 p. in. there came a telephone order from trenches for the “Voiture Americaine" to report there immediately. At once the car was gotten under way. Slowly we crawled through streets littered houses and walls, and by sentries who demanded the pass word at the hay- onet's'point. Further on a clutter of supply and ammunition trains in f a country lane kept: us back, but a and den turn to the left showed a white ribbon of empty road that wound up over‘h high ridge before us. Innocent it looked, and inviting. We opened the throttle wide. and rushedmto the snmmlt-io find ourselves in full view of the German guns and trenches. while in the surface of the road we jolted over, oldsbell marks gaped at us like manholes. "Down the far side of the ridge we dropped at full speed; holding our bullets, and we inwardly congratulated ourselves as we drew up near the dug- out shelters hidden in a hollow behind the French second line where we found an orderly waiting for us beside a final sentry. Here. the car was turn- ed round and the stretchers shoulder- ed. for we had reached a point beyonJi which the ambulance might not it since the road, which led straight on to the German lines, was heavily bdr- ricnded at intervals of fifteen meters. "The (premier Poste de iSecours) was some ways down the road and we hurried towards It with the orderly. When we reached it. this first aid dres- sing station prove dto be. a dugout chamber five feet below ground reach- ed by an inclined plane much as one enters in the tomb chamber of the great Pyramid of Checps. Here we found our man, wounded but fifteen minutes before, ready for us.

During dinner that evening the vil- Iage was shelled for half an hour, he writes. At 11 pm. they were amused by an orderly 'fwith a summons for them togo‘to “Hill 71." “Without a. single light, but with a cloudy moon to guide us,‘ the car mov- ed through the deserted streets, feel- ing its way through the tree shadows. Sentries are lumpy folk at these hours, and a moving lantern in the middle “of the road brought us to a dead stop while a‘ throaty ‘Qui Vivel‘ from the darkness at the side marked where a [ rifle probably co‘vcred us. “The pass word—and then on: again I ,untll ‘Hill 71' was reached.
