HELP FROM AMERICA
AMBULANCES IN BRITAIN COST £2OOO A WEEK (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrij-M) LONDON, March 12 Approximately £2OOO a week is required to meet the maintenance costs of the American Ambulance in Britain. This is borne entirely by subscription from the United States and Americans resident in Britain. A donation of 100,000 dollars was recently received from the British War Relief Society of America for the maintenance of the fleet of 260 motorised ambulances, surgical units and mobile first aid points. It is announced that the K.P.M. freighter Rantaupandjang (2542 tons) was captured and sunk by a German raider. She was to have reached Sydney next month to load foodstuffs for the Netherlands East Indies.
