Paris. November 6.

Paris, November b. rEO the Cadillac car of the general
 headquarters and the service of
 supplies I would pay my respects. It is of the limousine type, upholstered in substantial paterial It rides like Pullman and is the one car the, Ameri- can army officer has found which will stand, up.
 Within the last 30 hours I made some 400 miles in one--from Paris to Char tres to Tours and round thereabouts to inc great salvage depot, where sew eral thousand French women repair and make over material of soldiers sup plies; to St. Aignan. the depot division of the First army corps, where the newly arrived soldier boys are being trained and assembled for distribution to the front to Gievres. the great in-, termediate supply depot of which I have written; to Romorantin, the airplane assembly depot; to many other assort- ling stations: to Orleans, for bad din- ner, and back to Paris.
 But the English beat us badly in Red Cross ambulances. Theirs are built on chassis of heavy type and go over shelled roads without torturing the wounded. We have some good ones. but many are built on Ford and other light chassis. They are cramped and rough of ridingz-very uncomfortable. Their only virtue is that they do the work and usually get the wounded in, though often much the worse for wear. < < #
 I noted that the English horse drawn vehicles are better equipped than ours. Their harness is stronger and kept in better condition than ours The drivers keep the trace and other chains poll |Iished and the leather dressed and their horses and mules groomsd and in the pink of condition.
 In the case of the Americans the bits and chains show rust, the leather is apparently never dressed and the horses look rough and often scrawny. The English Tommy knows. the work | his horse and outfit is expected to per form and he keeps all in condition tc do the service. Our boys go About it as if they expect to get another horse or mule or new harness when needed and consequently have suffered more de- lays from break downs
 The army can well profit in future by the lessons from this war. A break down on crowded supply road stops all movement.
 We suffered heavy losses from such and supply wagons and ammunition trucks were going forward to the front. l Empty. vehicles and ambulances were 1returning. There was break down and a jam in the night. At daylight the road was damned for mile or more, when Boche bombing airplanes played havoc with us and made a mess of things, not to speak of the great loss of life.
 The lack of thorough discipline in a supply train--the carelessness of one driver-can upset the progress of all and cause voluminous losses, both in the train--from airplane attacks--and at the front from failure to deliver am intuition and food.
 At night supply trains proceed with out light. It takes experts to pilot them and the greatest coolness and discipline, deal with a royal appointee who could be set aside at pleasure.
