WASHINGTON, Nov "a. IT. The
American army mule need have no
fear for his laurels because Of the
great part gasoline motors have
played in transportation problems OF
European armies in the present war.
Until American roads generally are
brought up to the high standard OF
the roads OF Germany, France, Bel
GUM and other European countries,
the army mule will determine
through his capacity for hauling, the
limitation of operations for American
military forces.
Only one branch OF the United
States army is giving serious atten-
ton to motor traction. In the quar-
termaster's department experiments
are being made, particularly along
the Texas border. with handling sup
plies in motor trucks Motor trucks
are In general use, OF course, ABOUT
army posts and wherever good roads
are available; but when maneuyers
take the columns into the field and
the sandy or muddy country roads,
where mere wheel tracks across the
country are the only highways, the
six-mue team is still master of the
transportation situation.
A few years ago 1t was determined
to experiment with motor transporta-
ton as means to increase the
radius of field artillery. The most
available subject for this purpose
was the battery wagon, carrying the
forges for gun repairs and horse shoe
ing and also the saddler's equipment
One such wagon accompanies every
