MOTOR ARTILLERY
TO SPEED UP WAR
Tractors Carrying Big Guns

OF an automobile expert expressed in
an article publised here. He bases
this idea on the success Of motor
transport over broken country. APP
proving the phrase This Is a motor
war;" he says:
lone OF the most interesting phas-
es, In face OF future developments OF
automobilism for military purposes, Is
those vehicles which have been de-
signed and which are being used for
breaking across country where roads
do not exist or where surfaces are
exceedingly bad. In this connection
some extraordinarily ingenious pioneer
work has been done in this country,
notably the Diplock- Pedrail. IL the
inventor had received more support
undoubtedly this system OF self pro
peeled vehicle could have been brought
to IA stage at which its practicability
would have been recognized through
out the world today.
"As 1t is, since 1878 he has been
perfecting his machinery every year
and got 1t to an extraordinary stage
before the war broke out. Some of
the heavy machines that the Germans
are using reveal, moreover, that they
have not been slow to study his in,
g~enious scheme whereby a self pro
PEELED road vehicle can also be made
to break across country, over plowed
fields or any other surface that 1t may
be necessary to negotiate.
I'm Belgium the Germans ia We been
using heavy motor tractors with wired
wheels In front, designed to insure

slime, In that whichever way they
tend to slide they must presently dig
themselves la deeper laterally. The

is causing his family and practically
everyone else in town a great deal OF
worry which everyone hopes will

one where he was going; drove his
auto to Sioux Falls and left it in a
garage saying he was going on a
trip and might not be back for a day
OF two. 1t is learned that he imme-
uiately left Sioux Falls by train, since
which time he has not been heard
from.
Something like a ear and a half
ago he was quite sick. He recovered
and for the last year has been work
ing very hard In the establishing OF
the meat market business of T. II.

work has increased a trou-
BILE that was left with him by the
sickness and that he has wandered
off without knowing just where he
was going in q fit of nervous des-
pondency. He was in good circum-
stances and no cause is known for
his going away except as above sur
missed. Every possible effort is being
made TO locate him and it is request
ed that this be copied by other pa
pers. He had either blue or grey
