MOTORS IN ARMY SERVICE
wonderful System Has Been Evolved
for Transportation Of Supplies
During tho War.

Twenty thousand men are now en-.
gagged in the mechanical transport sec.
ton of the British army service
corps on the continent. In addition
to the transport Of men, ammunition
n food, motors also serve for I'm.
bulance work. dispatch services,
s~earchlights and gun carriers for anti.
aircraft service. Among recent de-
velopments are the motor kitchens
and motor bath houses.
For reasons Of safety the railway
base must be kept we'll in the rear OF
the battle line. But the motors prac
tically continue the railway service
up to a point from which horse trans.
ports or other motors can distribute
the supplies.
one of the striking features of this
war is the motor transport column.
With each vehicle keeping station,
about fifty yards apart, and running
to a set speed limit, trains nearly a
mile long wind over the roads carry.
Ing the hundreds of tons of food and
ammunition required by the army.
A w~ell-arranged traffic system, with
motorcycle dispatch riders. keeps
these huge conveys under control, and
their smooth working is a guarantee
that the men in the trenches are we'll
supplied. The vast feet Of motor ON
n1buses forms an important part Of
this transport army, and on occa-
sion. says the Sphere, they are used
to carry men from point to point when
rapid movement is required.
Eyewitness graphically describes
the operations of the motor transport
at the front This war; he says,
has at different times been charac-
terized as a war of high explosives,
a war of howitzers, a petrol war. In
two senses can the struggle on land
be called a petrol var. The employ
ment Of this substance in the internal
combustion engine has rendered avia-
ton possible, and has also immensely
simplified the work necessary for the
supply of the army. Indeed, to such
an extent has mechanical propulsion
whether of steam or petrol-driver
vehicles, especially the latter, taken
the place of animal traction, that the
change caused may not unfairly be
compared to the revolution brought
Hbout by the introduction of railways

too soon. for exactly a week later,
July IA, the British man Of war Col
lingwood, commanded by Sir George
Seymour, arrived at Monterey to pro-
claim British sovereignty. 1t was
thus only by a narrow chance that
England did not become the p%ossessor
Of California, which she had greatly
coveted.
On the fourth day of July, 1884, two
barks which had been sent by Sir
Walter Raleigh to discover and annex
the American continent north of
Florida arrived off the coast. Sailing
along for 120 miles, they entered the
session of the country for the queen
Of England, naming 1t Virginia. They
landed on Roanoke island, afterward
occupied by the first English settle
ment In the new world. This
colony, consisting of ITO persons sent
out In April, 1885, was abandoned in
less than a year, the settlers carrying
back with them to Europe the first to-
bacco and the first potatoes, which
latter were planted experimentally
on Raleigh's estate not far from Cork,
In Ireland.
On the fourth day Of July, 1854,
Benjamin Franklin laid before the
commissioners Of colonies, at AL.
bany, a plan for a federal constitu-
ton, aimed to accomplish a union fol-
defense against French encroachment
1t was adopted. but afterward vas re
Jected by some Of the colonies and by
the British government. This was ex
actly twenty-five years before the
signing Of the Declaration of indie
pendence. Curiously enough, the doc
ument was rejected by the colonies
because 1t put too much power into
the hands Of the king; and 1t was We
toed In England because 1t gave toe
much power to the assemblies of the
colonies.
On the fourth day Of July, ITO, UNI
brellas we're FIRST introduced into this
country, a shipment Of them arriving
at the port of Baltimore. They were
generally regarded as an absurdity
and 1t was considered that only fool
ish and effeminate persons could pos
sibly use them.
The massacre Of Wyoming valley
occurred on July 4, 1776.
In the previous autumn two com
panies had been raised in the valley
and had been ordered to Join Genera
Washington. Several stockaded forts
had been built during the summer
but those left behind to guard then
were mostly old men.

morning OF July 4. He marched out
with his little army of 400 men. drums
beating and flags flying, and he and
his soldiers returned peaceablv to
their homes.
Or the fourth day of July, 1916, the
Independence of California was de-
clared.
Ihere was at that time In California
as yet of course a part of Mexico
b two hundred Americans, nearly
all OF them men of exceptional vigor
OF body and alertness of mind. or
-Mexicans there were 5000, and the
aboriginal Indian population num-
bered perhaps 200, 900.
Capt. John G. Fremont had been
sent to California on an exploring ex-
petition a year earlier. He was on
his way to Oregon when he was over
taken by an officer sent from Wash
ington with a message ordering him
to walt and to cooperate with the Pa
cifc squadron In case of hostilities
with Mexico. The message had been
in writing, but the officer was obliged
to destroy 1t while crossing Mexican
territory, after committing it to men,
DRY.
Accordingly Fremont returned to
California and took up his headquar-
tiers at Suffers Fort.
A few days later, June IA, a party
of fourteen Americans organized a
small revolution on their own ac-
count, captured Sonoma and declared
war against Mexico. Needing a flag
and not daring to use that of the
United States, they made one, not
out Of an old lady's petticoat, as has
sometimes been alleged, but from a
Mexican rebosa or scarf Of un'
bleached muslin a yard wide and five
feet long. Along the bottom they
sewed a strip Of red flannel and in
the left hand corner they painted 9
star In red ink. The middle of the
nag wal occupied by a picture Of a
grizzly bear. beneath which were the
words california Republic"
The temporary government thus SET
up is known in history as the Bear
Flag Republic. Its banner now orna
ments the rooms Of the Pioneer 80
ciety in San Francisco. The grizzly
bear was rather crudely drawn, ant
the Mexicans said 1t was a pig, call
ing the flag the pig nag.
Meanwhile news had come Of the
outbreak Of wal along the Rio Grandt
and On July 4 Fremont called a meet

claimed the independence Of Cali

white men killed and eight Indians
wounded.
Incredible deeds Of cruelty and fe.
rocity are said to have been commit
ted by the tories on this occasion,
and the whole valley was left a scene
of d~esolation. But 1t is not true that
women and children were m~assacred.
On the fourth day Of July, 1880, con-
tinental currency notes were worth
two cents on the dollar, and, 1t was
said, "a wagonload of paper money
was required to pay for a %wagonload o.
provisions" Nothing could we'll give
a more vivid notion of the desperate
situation Of the Revolutionary cause
at that period.
On the Fourth of July, 1926. Thorn
ay Jefferson, third president Of the
United States and author of the Dec
laration of Independence, died, aged
eighty-three, Just fifty years from the
date Of that historic document. On
the same day died John Adams, sec.
ond president of the United States,
aged ninety-one.
James Monroe also died on the
Fourth of July, 1881, his age being
seventy-three.
On the fourth day of July, 1S4s, the
treaty of peace with Mexico was pro-
claimed at Washington. And on the
same day the cornerstone Of the
Washington monument was laid with
great pomp and ceremony. Money for
building 1t had been subscribed by In
dividuals, but the sum thus obtained
proved SO far inadequate that the
structure remained a mere stump,
only about one-third its present
height, until 1881, when congress ap-
propriated the amount necessary for
Its completion.
There was a similar and even more
important ceremony In Washington
on July 4. 1851, when President FILL
more initiated by the laying of a
cornerstone the construction Of the
two great white marble wings Of the
capitol. There was an impressive
assemblage Of dignitaries and an ora
ton was made by Daniel Webster.
then secretary Of state. OF special in
terest was the presence of a few per
sons who had witnessed the laying Of
the first cornerstone Of the capitol
by Washington on the eighteenth day
Of September, 1893.
On the fourth day Of July, 1888,
John Fryth, an English preacher, was
burned at Smithfeld for the heresy Of
Lutheranism.
July 4, 1880, was the day on which
Jack Cade plundered the city Of Lon
don or q portion thereof, %beheading
Baron Say and Sele and numbering
several other personages Of import
ance.
Cade had fed from England for
some crime; but after serving In the
French wars he went back to that
country and settled in Kent under the
assumed name Of Aylmer, marrying
q lady Of good position. When the
men of Kent rose in rebellion, in
May, 1880, he led them. The rebels
made their way into London on July
8. A portion of the populace favored
them, but the opposing party gained
strength when Cade began to plumber
and kill. He retired to Southwark.
and was prevented from re-entering
the city after a fierce struggle on
London Bridge. Afterward he was
captured, and being severely wounded,
died In the cart which was conveying
him to London.
July 4. 1897. was the date Of the
battle Of Dorylaeum, a great victory
under Soliman, who had attacked
them on the march.

Distress in Five Min

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach is
too valuable: you mustn't injure it with
drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed
in giving relief; its harmlessness; its GER
tain unfailing action in regulating sick,
sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of
cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis,
and other stomach troubles has made it
famous the world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a large
ffty-cent case from any drug store and
then if any one should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; II what
they eat lies like lead, ferments and
sours and forms gas; causes headache,
dizziness. and nausea; eruCtations of acid
and undigested food-remember as soon
as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact
with the stomach all such distress van

KAISER'S CAMPAIGN
HINGES ON WARSAW
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

II looks for the moment as if the
Russian defense of Warsaw had been
successful and cOntempOraneOusly with il
the southern Russian armies began their
readvance upon Cracow. They are still
upon an average fifty miles from that
city. They have superior forces in front
of them, and the Austrians still hold the
crest of the passes of the Carpathians,
threatening the flank of such an advance.
None the less the advance is taking
place. though slowly, and is taking place
because the defense of Warsaw has
hitherto heen successful Should that
city fall it would be checked imme-
diately.
