Mules and Horses Good Enough.

Gen. Crozier, chief of the army ord
nance bureau, designed motor battery
wagon which was tried out in ma
neuvers. If proved not success, for
it was SO heavy it 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 bu-
reau is now content to await the re-
suits of the experiments of the quar-
termaster's department in self-pront IL

In connection with the newest heavy
siege pieces designed for the Ameri-
can army, it was proposed recently to
experiment with European gasoline
traction engines. Arrangements were
under way for the Importation Of one
OF these at the time the European war
broke out. Now every engine of that
character has been turned to actual use
abroad. and instead of importing auto

DEPRESSI0N|N HAWAII
RELIEVED BY THE WAR
Sugar Industry Now Very Profit
able, Says Gov. Pinkham
in Report.

Credit for relief from IL severe de-
preston in the Hawaiian Islands is
given to the European war by Gov.
Lucius z. Pinkham In his annual re-
port just submitted to the Secretary
Of the Interior. He explained that the
islands depend almost wholly on sugar
for support. and that this product was
selling at n ruinous price before the
war. AS a result of the conflict, how
ever. he said the sugar industry is now
very profitable.
Under the protective tariff of tho
United States sugar production in
Hawaii was stimulated to 4 great de-
velopment. Nearly all sugar enterprises
established previous to the year 1898
had normal beginnings and gradual
and healthy growth, physically and
financially. In so far as these same
methods have been adhered to, these
estates are sound today. In 1898 mod
ern methods of physical optimism,
valuations. capitalization, haste and
anticipation of profits obtained. The
failure of these methods OF business
has placed burden on investors the
responsibility for which it is attempt
ed to Shift upon legislation. The ter
ritory has felt the depression in the
prices of sugar and such depression
severely. Privately it is admitted that
the responsibility lies in the marked
overproduction in the worlds sugar
supply, in which Hawaii has had its
full part.
Pineapple Growers Helpless.
While Hawaii has some moderate
relief in coffee, rice, etc, it's secondary
produce is canned pineapples, which
industry has had such sudden and
abnormal growth that it has this sea
son, 1914, outstripped the means of
caring for the rield product. and where
unprotected by contract the grower Is
helpless as to price and market. The
nolu-over stocks OF 1913 anu immense

AMERICAN ARMY MULE
HAS NO RIVAL IN SIGHT
Lack of Good Roads Prevents Use
of Motor Trucks as in Eu-
ropean War. 49,

The American army mule need have
no fear for his laurels because of the

ed in transportation problems of Eu-
ropean armies in the present war Un-
TIL American roads generally are
brought UP to the high standard of the
roads of Germany. France, Belgium

operations for American military
forces.
only one branch of the United States
Army is giving serious attention to mo-
tor traction. In the quarterma ster's s
department experiments are being
made, particularly along the Texas
border, with handling supplies in mo-
tor 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 sandy or muddy
country roads where mere w1eei
tracks across the country are the only
highways, the sIS-muIe team is s.llI
master OF the transportation situation
A lew years ago it was determined to
experiment with motor transportation
as means to increase the radius of
field artillery. The most available sub
jcct for this purpose was the battery
wagon, carrying the forges for gun re-
pairs and horseshoeing, and also the
saddlers 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 ac-
tion. 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
approaching hostile force.
