Soldier In France Writes
That Cadillac Car Stays
Out of Repair Shop.

Perhaps no soldier in France IS
actually surprised at the behavior OF
the Cadillac cars he observes in ser

deep admiration when they write
home.

inside who demands recognition
In the six months I have been in

a Cadillac in any kind OF difficulty;
and we had some mighty tough going
