Ambulance Unit is Ready to
Leave At Once
Johnson County. -- The ambulance unit raised at the University for active and
immediate service in France for the United States has been
accepted for active service, according to a telegram received
yesterday by Adjutant T. A.
Wanerus from the Central military department authorities at
Chicago. The same telegram directs the men to proceed to
Allentown, Pa., the location of their training camp, just as soon
as transportation money is furnished them. It is expected that
this will be within a few days, the unit leaving within about
twenty-four hours after the transportation is received. All the
men will start in a group from Iowa City, and will be in charge
of John T. Lonsdale, one of the members of the unit, until
Allentown is reached. Most of the men are in Iowa City at the
present time awaiting their orders to leave for the east,
instructions having
been given that they should hold themselves in readiness for
immediate departure. Those outside the city were summoned by
telegram yesterday.
The complete list of men, thirty-four in number, making up the
University unit, is as follows:
