social ties of Democratic women, and
in financial aid it has given the ma

Lectures. addresses, illustrated
talks, card parties, and receptions fig

MOTORING WAR.

According to the Engineering
! Magazine the first war in which mo.
tor trucks were use.l 20 any extent
was the Tarco-Italian war in Tripoli
and the early termination of that
campaign was due largely to the
speed and trustworthiness of 12O mo.
tor trucks used by the italian army
for transporting machine guns and
light artillery and provisioning the
army in the field.
Three years later We lind the mo-
tor so extensively engaged in the
present great war that France, with
10000 motor vehicles already in the
field, is huying right and left all she
can get in the United States. The
military demand for the motor truck
is so great because it's use varies
from ambulance purposes to hauling
siege guns, towing aeroplane, and
motor truck workshops, carrying
troops and supplies, in the latter
case five-ton trucks hauling four to
eight trailer wagons, each laden with
almost as much tonnage as the trac-
tion truck bears.
In our civil war the mule wagons
were the hane of army transporta-
ton, and the speed of any army was
seriously impeded by the slow rate
the long mule trains moved along the
Southern roads. Of course, bad roads
had much to do with this, but there
is no denying that even with the
splendid roads of France today no
army could make the pace which the
allies did in their retreat toward
Paris unless aided by motors beth
as transports of supplies and of light
artillery.
The motorizing of war is not the
work of moment, but has been 20
ing on in France, Great Britain, Ger
many, and the othe- European pow
ers for several years, subsidies to
owners of motor trucks being a reg
ular part of the system. In some
cases and under certain drastic con-
ditions laid down by the war de-
partment cf France the owner of a
motor vehicle in France gets a sub
:sldy averaging $500 and an addition
al bonus of $20S a year fer four sue
cessive years for proving officially
that he owns such a vehicle.
Nearly $750,00O was spent bv
France in those subsidies in 1918
alone, while Austria is spending
100000 annually for such purposes.
Germany's operations in this field
are not so well known because of her
policy of keeping secret as much as
possible of her war preparations.
But it is public property that she
had eighty-seven motor trains TAX
ing part in the maneuyers of last
June and owned nearly thousand
Dig trucks, each capable of hauling
dozen trsilers if required.
Great 3ritain's subsidy system is
not so extensive as that of the other
countries mentioned; but she can
command nearly 1000 motor ve-
hicles for the war.
From the Greek campaign in the
recent Balkan war came the prac-
tlcal experience of a three-ton motor
truck carrying to the front in three
hours sufficient food for a thousand
men for one day, while a hastily i'm
provlsed motor ambulance brought
wounded men back from the front in
two hours On a journey which for
merly chad required three davs."
When the horseess vehicle can ar
complish feets like those the motor
izinG of war is well worth while
