The Duryea motor carriage has shown a
capacity of 20 miles an hour over favora-

81 It seems not unii;ely that the motor
vehicles or ehorscless carriage will
some day play an important part rs one
of the appliances of war General Miles,
the commander-in-chief of the United
States army, has recommended that
twelve companies, q force equal to one
full regiment be. equipped with bicycles
and motor wagons. Even the little
army of which he is the head. which
has only $4,000 men, requires nearly 49,
GOO horses and mules for cavalry. artillery
and general draft purposes. There is
little doubt that the work required of
these aniInals could be done better aud
more cheaply, at least In large number
of cases. by especially devised motor
vehicles. Provision trains and cannon
could be drawn by motors; and they
would be OF especial utility in the ambu-
lance service.
Already q heavy vehicle, somewhat

and fitted with Daimler gasoline motor
