MILITARY AUTOMOBILES USED IN

The South African conflict will be
the first to test the possibilities OF au-
tomobles for army use Several at
tempts have been made abroad to
build self-prOpelled gun carriages. and
the Signal Corps OF the United States
army is experimenting with automo-
biles for the transportation of mater
ial and men. The type OF vehicle de-
signed for this purpose has already
been illustrated. It is one of the iron
les OF fate that the traction engine
built for the Beers to farm with should
be turned against their makers in war
IL was hardly TO be expected that the
Beers. who are unprOgressive should
be the first to demonstrate the value
of automobiles in warfare It so hap
pened that a large number of traction
engines were in use in South Africa

Gently there have been large number
OF men recruited here for this branch

became known to them, however, that
they were desired for service In the Is

are so numerous as seriously TO en-

land, not differing from the rules of
previous years. AS before, Difference is
given to the American custom of eat
ing meat, and the rules are less strict
than in other countries in this regard
Sundays are not fast days, though
even on Sundays fish and flesh may not
be eaten at the same meal. Wednesdays
and Fridays are emphatically the fast
days, when even the exempt must give
attention to the prescriptions in lnodi-
fled form. With Wednesdays and Fri
days are put the Ember days and the
Saturdays of Holy week.
The exempt are those over 60, those
under 81, the sick, women bearing or
nursing children, men at hard physical
labor, and those so poor that they must
eat what they can get. Even the exempt
are cautioned to observe the spirit of
the season, to keep some sort of a fast.
without which, says tie archbishop
Christianity is not demonstrated.
Fasting permits cup Of tea. coffee
or chocolate. with bit Of bread in the
