HISTORY OF CADILLAC CAR U. S. No. 11661 Type 53. Year of 1915

As posted wirh the car in the Automobile Show, 32nd Division, A. EL F., Rengsdorf, Germany, March 16, 1910

THIS car sold to U. S. A. by Leo Knoerzer when he was an auto salesman at San Antonio, Texas, now with the Bohling Auto Sales, was first put into the service of the United States Array on September 20, 1915, when it was assigned to Frederick Funston, then commanding the Southern Department at San Antonio, Texas. During the Mexican campaign, it was tised by General Funston practically all the time. After the death of General Funston, the car was assigned to General John J. Pershing, who used the car until he was sent across. The car was then turned over to the new Commander of the Southern Department, General James Parker, in April, 1917. When General Parker proceeded overseas, he turned the car over to General "William G. Haan, who relieved him of command of the Thirty-Second Division. General Haan secured permission to take this car with him to France. March 6, 1918, it was unloaded from ship at Brest.

In May, 1918, the car was turned over to Lieut. Col. John H. Howard, Assistant Chief of Staff G-l, the General having received a closed-body Cadillac for his use. Lieut. Col. Howard took this car through the actions in the Alsace sector, through the attack and advance from Chateau Thierry to Fismes, on the Yesle River; through the attack and advance in the Chemin des Dames, north of Soissons; and through the opening action in the Argonne Forests. On September 27, 1918, the car was turned over .to Major Robert Connor. Assistant Chief of Staff G-l, succeeding Lieut. Col. Howard. During the advance through the Argonne, the attack and advance on the Meuse River north of Verdun, and for the advance of the Division into Germany after the Armistice was signed, as part of the Army of Occupation, this car was used by Major Conner. This car is still in use in the Division, being now one of the cars used by the Division Quartermaster. Following is the record of the car as determined from the records kept in the office of the Motor Transport Officer of the 32nd Division, and from questioning drivers who have operated the car. The record is substantially correct.

This car was first overhauled in August, 1916, at Fort Sam Huston, San Antonio, Texas. A new top was put on, and the upholstering was replaced. In December, 1917, this car was overhauled at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas. The car was re-painted, and a new set of seat covers put on. In September, 1918, the car was overhauled in the Overhaul Park No. 2 at St. Quen, Paris, France. A complete overhaul was given, all bearings, etc , being tested. There was practically no replacement of parts, except piston rings and one front wheel inner bearing. MILEAGE Total mileage, up to and Including March 12, 1919, was 93,542 miles. FUEL CONSUMPTION Total Xul consumption up to and including March 15. 1919, was 10,024 gallons average 19.83' miles per gallon.

The Salvation Army

OVER THERE It was our wounded and dying in Flanders and France who made immortal the words: "Whatever you do, don't forget the Salvation Army." As one wounded man said: "Why, you would never see one of them in Paris. Good Lord, you'd never know they existed unless you came right up close to the front lines." That's where their job was IX THE FRONT LINES. In the midst of the horrors of battle, braving the dangers of the doughboy, the Salvation Army has worked unceasingly. Has the doughboy forgotten f Ask anv soldier or sailor you meet today.

OVER HERE. You will find the Salvation Army lass where? Again in the front line trenches righting destitution and despair. In the dismal alleys of our cities, without thought of glory or honor, giving their lives to the cause of Christianity.

If you could grasp just an inkling the good and happiness your

money can bring, how glad you'd feel to give. So be a good fellow help the Lass who fed doughnuts to our lads, for some day, may be, one of these lads who bled for you in France may need her help again. And you're not the kind who'll let money stand in the way of helping him and his, arc vou?

Whatever You Do, Don't Forget the Salvation Army!
