MOTOR CM DIVISION
IS READY FOR FRANCE
Five Companies Trained at Camp
I Johnston to Drive Officers' Ma
chines at the Front.
Five motor car companies, consti
tuting the first motor car division of
the United States army, have com
pleted training at Camp Joseph E.
Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla., for serv
ice in France. Each man of each
company is a soldier. At the front
the duty of these men will be to drive
the motor cars used by officers.
Late last year orders were received
to train a motor car division at Camp
Johnston. The men provided num
bered several hundred, all fresh from
civil life, and the majority of them
total strangers to a motor car.
The officer assigned to the work of
training the men laid out a course on
the theory of the internal combustion
engine and automobile principles in
particular. The men were thorough
ly grounded in theory, and given a
complete practical course in the high
ly important matter of repairs. They
were familiarized with motor car
parts, and received their final course
of driving instructions with a fleet of
27 Dodge Brothers cars, hundreds of
■which are in the government service.
Upon the completion of all the va
rious courses laid out, the men were
awarded diplomas. At last reports
the division was ready for service
abroad and the men were eagerly
awaiting word which would start
them on their way to France.
