American Expeditionary Forces j
General Orders No. 38-A.
My Fellow Soldiers:
Now that your service with the i
American expeditionary forces is1
about to terminate I can not let you
go without a personal word. At the
call to arms the patriotic young manhood
of America eagerly responded
and became the fomidable army
whose decisive victories testify ti its j
efficiency and its valor. With the '
support of the nation firmly united .
to defend the cause of liberty, our
army has executed the will of the .
people with resolute purpose. Our !
Democracy has been tested and the '
forces of Autocracy have been dc- j
feated. To the glory of the citizen- !
soldier our troops have faithfully fnl-i
filled their trust and in a succession
of brilliant offensives have overcome
the menace to our civilization.
As an individual, your part in the'
worhb war has been an important j
one in the sum total of our achieve- j
ments. Whether keeping lonely |
virgil in the trenches, or galantly j
storming the enemy's stronghold; j
whether enduring monotonous drud- j
gory at the rear, or sustaining the j
fighting line at the front, oacn has
bravely and efficiently played his part.
By williVijr sacrifice of personal rights;
by cheerful endurance of hardship
and privation; by vigor, strength and
indomitable will, made effective by
thorough organization and cordial cooperation,
you inspired the war-worn
Allies with new life and turned the
tide of threatened defeat into overwhelming
victory.
With a consecrated devotion to duty
and a will to conquer, you have
loyally served your country. By you\
exemplary conduct a standard has
been reestablished and maintained
never before attained. With mind
and body as clean and strong as the
decisive blows you delivered against
the foe, you are soon to return to
the pursuits of peace. In leaving the
scenes of your victories, may 1 ask
that you carry home your high ideals
and continue to live as you have
served?an honor to the principles for
which you have fought hnd to the fallen
comrades you leave behind.
It is with pfide in our success thatI
extend to you my sincere thanks
for your splendid service to the army
and to the nation.
Faithfully,
John J. Pershing
Commander-in-chief

100,000 AUTOMOBILES
SHORT OF DEMAND
Upon inquiring of several prominent
automobile agents in Automobile
Row, New York, last week whether
they could deliver a new car, at
once, on the spot-cash order, I was
^informed that it was very dillicult to
get any new cars because there were
demands for 100,000 more than can,
now, be delivered.
It is too soon after the War, for
all the materials to be procured. It
takes considerable time for the automobile
manufacturers to reach the
full running capacity necessary to J
to enable them to catch up with the J
over-growing demand.
Conservative estimates of the out- 3
put for this year, 101'J, is 2,000,000 .
passenger cars; 400,000 trucks, and '
200,000 tractors. The demand for .
motorcycles and motor boats is also '
increasing.
The majortity of these vehicles are ,
made up of assembled parts, each part
representing, in many instances, the j 1
entire output of a modern factory, j'
For instance, to make the "magneto," ' \
which generates the current for the i J
dependable electric sparks which fire ' "
the gas in the engines of the best automobiles,
this being the source of
power to make the cars go, there are J
several factories each equipped with |
machinery worth about a million dol- !
lars, each employing thousands of ;
skilled workmen, each having a weekly
capacity of from 2,000 to 10,000
finished and fully tested magnetos,
worth from $.r>0 to $7f> each.
Ninety-seven per cent of the Motor .
trucks, and about ninety-nine per |
cont of the motor tractors have maj;. *
neto ignition. These typos of vehicles j
are used for heavy work and rough j
ground and must have the sturdy
magneto ignition.
This infant-giunt, known as the ]
automive industry has grown in twen- i
ty'years to the third largest in th.- j
United States and influences the prosperity
of nearly every indusliy and t
trade in the civilized world.
