CARS
IN THE WAR ZONE
Graphic Portrayal of Work
Done by American
Automobiles

A graphic portrayal Of the work
being done by American motor cars
on the actual fighting front of the
European War, is found in the NOV
ing pictures of battle scenes taken
under the auspices of the Chicago
Tribune by special permission of the
Belgian authorities.
The films. which we're made under
fire in various parts of the extensive
Belgian battle front give remarkable
action views of the injured being
taken from the field by Red Cross at
tendants and moved to the base hos
pital in the Overland cars sold 10
the Belgian government at the open
ing of hostilities. One particularly
vivid incident is shown in which an
Overland ambulance is used The en-
tire action is within fifty feet of the
camera
An armored motor car is guarding
the reteat of a division of the Belgian
forces through a small village near
Antwerp. While two of the three
men who form the crew are engaged
in aiming and firing the rapid fire
gun mounted in the small revolving
turret. the driver is struck by a bull
let and severely wounded Under a
deadly fire the Overland ambulance
dashes up to the car. the wounded
soldier is lifted from the drivers seat,
place on stretcher and rushed away
while his companions calmly continue
the fighting.
Although practically all Of the
Overlands purchased by Belgium
were originally with fiat wooden
bodies for transportation of ann
munition and supplies. many have
since been converted into ambulanccs
to care for the enormous number of
wounded. So great has been the need
for additional ambulance space that
wooden superstructurc was added
to the original bodies. giving room
for four stretchers placed in decks
of two each
