The army signal corps has been equipped
with two motor vehicles Of a most prac-
teal sort as a result OF considerable re-
search and competitive tests conducted by
members Of the board Of equipment OF the
army signal ofice. The first difhculty en-
countered was to find a mechanism which
was not designed and constructed for use
entirely for touring car purposes. That
subject seems TO engage the skill and in
genuity OF builders Of motor vehicles in
these days. The commercial side OF the
question appears to have been practically
ignored. Finally, a suitable mechanism was
found and the army signal office has con-
verified the arrangement to it's own uses
with the result that two wagons have been
constructed. They attracted much atten-
ton when exhibited in the courtyard OF
the War department recently and have now
been sent out to Forts Leavenworth and
Omaha, respectively, for use at those
places.
One of the motor vehicles is a winton
two-cylinder, twenty horse power chassis,
which has been converted for use with the
field telegraph train for carrying line sup
plies and for general purposes in connec-
ton with the field telephone and telegraph
line. This wagon has been sent to Omaha,
where the army signal corps will maintain
supply station, which will also be the
headquarters Of the balloon train. The
other carriage is an eight to ten-horse
power Cadillac single chassis, designed for
telegraph repair work. capable Of carrying
four men with the material and the repair
tools and equipped for making flying trips.

LONDON, July l5-(Special Cablegram to

freights, which conducted its inquiry in
western Australia, has made a report 10
the governor, declaring that It has found
conclusive evidence of the existence of a

The result is that the lower STEAMSHIP
rates from German ports have diverted
trade from the mother country, and the
American rates ruling the last three years
being only one-third TO one-haIf of the
London rates, enable shippers to secure
higher prices for their goods, which art
