ARMY CARS COMMAND
BIG AUCTION BIDS

LONDON. June 5 .(CorrcspOndcnce Of
The Associated Prcss. )-Amcrican army
motor transport in Eagland has not cost
the United States government anything G
for machines according TO figures pre-
pared nj army headquarters here. AS
tonishing prices have been paid here for
machines the army has placed on auc-
ton. touring cars in scores of instances
bringing more than the original cost
even though they have seen rather hard
usuagc for months.
The army purchased 4 numbCr Of cars
Of n light popular type for $3.50 each
and these have sold for as high as $1,000
after begin used eight months. Another
machine the average purchasing price
for which was sl.085 has brought as
much as $500 Mt the auction sales. The
prices bid for touring cars has been ab-
Solutcl. amazing. Major J. G. Weller.
head OF the motor transport work in the
Quartcrmaster Department here. told
The Associated Press. a great deal high.
cr than We would have dared asked on
stra ght sales.
Altogether the army had 592 touring
cars. trucks ambulanccs, motorcycles
and bicycles for its work Of transport
ing about 100000 mon through Eng
land. Only a dozen OF these have been
reserved TO be used in the final clearing
out Of headquarters in London. Good
prices have been obtained for the trucks
and amhulances exceptionally good
prices when compared with what sec
ondhand motors bsirg in the United
States. but the greatest demand has
been for the touring cars. motorcycles
and bicycles.
England never did build such rehicles
in quantity and during the war none
were built for private use. Now the
demand Is 10 great that actual values
havo boon almost discarded entirely.
Somo observers place this demand IN
tho Same category with the Unsuitable
desire Of women for the finest Of fincry
at unprecedented prices which even then
the shops cannot supply. or other luxu-
rious demands of people who would
hardly have thought Of such things be-
fore the war.
