TO HONOR TAXI WAR FLEET
Dilapidated Marne Veteran to Be
Given Prominent Place Among
War Relics in Invalides.
Paris. —“The Veterans of the
.\Turne,” that ileet of old-fashioned, in
tirni, two-cylinder taxicabs that have
been cruising the streets of Paris for
seventeen years are to be signully
honored by the ministry of war for
lin- decisive part they played In the
historic battle which saved Paris.
The oldest, most dilapidated taxi
is to lie solemnly escorted by u body
of veteran chauffeurs to the Invalides
war museum, where it will be given a
prominent place among the relics.
These ancient' red cabs, which are
regarded by visiting Americans as
great curiosities, still rush around
Paris day and nigtit. in rain or shine,
at breakneck spe<?d, their progress be
ing marked by a terrible ruttle, but
they are rapidly being replaced by
modern cars. •
It was in these machines that at
tlie critical stage of the battle of the
Marne, Gen. Gallienl sent 6,000 fresh
troops from Paris almost to the actual
fighting area, where the French left
wing was seriously threatened. The
chauffeurs, who were all too old to
light, were conscripted as they drove
along the streets. Their passengers
were ordered out and at least live sol
diers were put " aboard each cab and
started for the front. The taxis drove'
bnek and forth for two days and
nights,-supplying fresh troops to stop
ihe German drive on the capital.

Owing to the peculiar growth, the
animal Is not able to drflw back both
heads, as is their but Is able
lo draw up his legs in the usual fash
ion. when struck or alarmed.
