While the winter of 1914-15 still had its grip on Europe, von Hoetzendorf appealed to the Germans to support an offensive which he hoped would force the Russians away from the crests of the Carpathian Mountains. After some debate, the German senior command agreed on a thrust deep into Russian lines out of East Prussia. The resulting "winter war" inflicted another 190,000 casualties on the Russians, but petered out when the Austrian forces to the south utterly failed to dislodged the Russians. They instead suffered another embarrassing defeat, and even lost control of Dukla Pass, a prime route onto the Hungarian plains. Only severe weather and their unfortunate supply situation prevented the Russians from cracking into the core of the Dual Monarchy's empire.

On July 1, 1914 the newly structured Times-Picayune headlines the appearance of the bubonic plague in New Orleans. The dreaded middle age plague had first reappeared in Hong Kong twenty years earlier, but since then the source had been isolated and a serum inoculation had been introduced. Alerted to the plaques appearance on the west coast in 1900, New Orleans officials began an extermination program of the large rat population. The 1914 crisis was contained mostly to its origin at the VOA warehouse on Notre Dame Street and efforts yielded over 80,000 dead rats. The city went through an unprecedented clean up campaign. Out of 30 cases only 10 people died.

All 1914-style cars used the new chassis frame with the longer rear cross-member. The date of the change from the old frame with the forged body brackets is not known for certain but evidence would indicate the new chassis appeared about May, 1913. A letter to the Ford branches notes that the longer rear member began to be used “after 114,000 1913 cars.” Ford, in other records, indicates that “1913” production began with 157,425 on October 1, 1912. Adding the 114,000 to this number puts it at 271,425 and the engine bearing that number was built on May 16, 1913. No doubt both the old and the new frames were used in production until the older style were used up.

The letter ... documents the fact that there were two convocations in 1914, the only year that this was to have happened, and that neither one was held in conjunction with a Clinical Congress. The first convocation had been held on November 13, 1913 in Chicago in conjunction with the fourth Annual Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America. The second convocation was held on June 22, 1914, in Philadelphia and the third held in Washington, DC on November 6, 1914. It was not until 1917 that the Clinical Congresses merged with the American College of Surgeons and the convocations from then on were held as part of the College’s annual meeting.
