Before the armistice was signed,
word Of Cadillac service overseas be-
gan to reach this country; and since
November scores of soldiers, Of both
high rank and humble. have added
their enthusiastic praise to what has
already been said.
One Of the latest of these messages
received by the Cadillac Company
comes from one OF the. designers of
the Liberty engine. Lieut.. Col. E. ].
Hall, lieutenant Colonel Hall served
as chief of the technical section of
the. air service abroad, and also as an
associate engineer Of the Aircraft
Production Board. He has now re-
turned from France to his business
at Berkeley, Cal. His letter says:
From my observations, believe the
Cadiilsc cars abroad gave better serv-
ice than anysothers make i'm France. Z
titaIiy lin, all my travelling to and
ing my stay abroad. This work
was during bad weather, and
generally averaged from fourteen
to sixteen hours q day, and most of
the driving was done around an-aver-
age OF forty miles an hour. I was
psver held up opscar trouble at any
time. Furthermore, never saw a
Cadillac in France that was tied up

ming, William Warren serving as
chairman and c. P Latham as clerk
There was a good attendance, and en-

outlook for success at the little town
election" and at the state and nation
al elections next year. Owing to
pressure of personal matters, Select
man Henry Buell. declined to have his
name presented again for the office
of selectman, and accordingly that
honor was conferred upon Judge J..

lot for assessor for three years, but
