ARMY MULE
RETAINS HIS
LAURELS
GREAT AMERICAN ARMY
MOTIVE POWER HERE
TO STAY

TRUSTWORTHY STANDBY
Until Roads are Vastly Improved,
Transportation Of Soldiers Can
not Be Done With Motors
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Nov. 25.-The
| American army mule need have no
| fear for his laurels because of the
great part gasoline motors have
played in transportation problems or
European armies in the present war.
Until American roads generally are
brought up to the high standard or
the roads of Germany, France. Bel
gium and other European countries,
the army mule will determine through
his capacity for hauling, the limita-
ton of operations for American mill
tary forces.
Only one branch of the United
States army is giving serious atten-
tion 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 maneuvers
take the columns into the field and
the candy or muddy country roads,
where mere wheel tracks across the
country are the only highways, the
six-mule team is still master of the
trononortation aittIation
A few years ago 1t was determined
TO experiment with motor transpor-
tation 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 shoeing
and also the saddler's equipment.
one such wagon accompanies every
battery of artillery in the field. 1t
trails along in the rear Of the column
and does not go into action. Thus
its activities are largely confined to
roads although the battery itself must
go cross lots by field and stream to
take positions against an approach
ing hostile force. "a
General Croder, chief of the army
ordnance bureau, designed a motor
battery wagon which was tried out
in maneuvers. 1t proved flat fall
ure for it was so heavy that 1t broke
through bridges. sunk to the hubs in
soft roads and generally hampered the
battery to which it was attached. The
experiment was abandoned and the
ordnance bureau is now content to
await the results of the experiments
of the quartermasters department in
self-propelled army transportation
units. Mules and horses are good
enough for American artillerymen as
yet.
In connection with the newest
heavy siege pieces designed for the
American army it was proposed re-

WOOLMAN MURDER
 TRIAL ON MONDAY
MOST LIKELY THERE WILL BE No FURTHER DELAY IN TRIAL
 OF THE CASE.
Case Will Probably Consume All the Week Because of the Waste of Time in Securing Trial Judy.

Ben Woolman, the slayer of Mrs. Deborah Welborn, will be placed on trial under a first degree murder in dictment in circuit court Monday morning.
 There have been several delays Tn this case, for various reasons, but from tine proceedings of ten days ago when the case was specifically set for this morning, it is not probable there will be any further delay.
 Attorney Col George w. Murphy, who is associated with A. J. Murphy and former Gov. X. O. Pindall for the defense, will be on hand to take a part in the case, though a week ago it was not believed that he would be able to finish the case had he en- tered into He has recovered much, however, from an auto accident in- jury, and probably will go through the entire trial at this time.
 The case will most likely take all the week in circuit court, because OI IHe WdSle Ol IlHle III SbCuIIuS q u lhi jury. While the juries at this term of court have been some of the best that have ever served in circuit court, yet they have been very difficult to select in the serious criminal cases, and there was more than two days taken up in the selection of a panel jury during the term in a rather un. important criminal case.
 The trial will attract much atten tion and will be followed with much public interest. Woolman shot ana killed Mrs. Welborn in her home or Garden street. There was but one eye witness to the tragedy, that beins a very sick man, who had been stop ping at the house, and who later died Before he died, however, his evidence was taken in his sick room in pre- liminary hearing of the case, conduct ed by George P. Wilmington, who was deputy prosecuting attorney at that time.
 The prosecution viii be conducted by Prosecuting Attorney Witt, assist ed by Attorney Arthur Cubb.

The New Central Theatre mas a fea. ture Monday that lifts the program far above the standard of the usual days entertainment, and places it on the level with one of the greatest scientific and most entertaining pro jects that motion photography has ever interested itself in.
 Six big reels which comprise the motion pictures taken in the Arctic circle will be shown. These pictures were filmed by expert camera men who endured the hardships of that climate under a special commission from the Carnegie Institute of Pitts burg, Pa, and are the first of their kind ever seen here. Everyone at tending the public schools in this city should see these pictures. 1t win not be long before lessons will be taught by motion pictures, and the first could well start Monday. It Is conceded that never has science con tributed any undertaking more in teresting than this. Here are some of the big features:
 Eight hundred walrus are caught in a single herd, some of the speci- mems weighing 1000 pounds. Polar bears are seen fighting for tlhelr young. The great Arctic pack is not ed. Esqulmox are observed in their home and on the hunt for big game. The glories of the great frozen North land are brought right before you.
