<ul><li><b>Scope and content:</b>  Original Caption: France to buy American motorcycles to be used as jitneys.  America again has been called upon to rescue the French people.  This time not to fight the Germans of Boshevian, but difficulty of transportation in Paris.  Instead of taking back American motorcycle sidecars the American authorities have been willing that the French Government should buy them.  Handed over to the Paris Municipal Council, they are soon to be out in Paris streets for hire at cheaper rates than taxis.  They will stand in some ranks with the taxis.  The drivers will be employed by Government while the sidecars will be slightly transformed to allow their use in wet cold weather.</li></ul>
