Motor Army Ambulances

The officers of the army Medical Corps
have been continuing their inquiries re-
Sarding types of motor vehicles which
are best suited to service as ambulances.
1t Is proposed to acquire this mode of
transportation as rapidly as possible. IN
view OF the demonstration of the useful
ness of motor vehicles In this capacity.
This does not mean, OF course that the
horse-drawn ambulance is to be entirely
done away with, for II Is conceivable that
there will be a demand under certain
circumstances for this type of ambu-
lance.
II has been decided. however. that il
is desirable to acquire types and makes
of motor ambulances for the army with
out regard TO the laws prescribing adver-
tisement for bids for supplies for the
military establishment. II will take leg
Islation. OF course. to permit the Secre-
tary of War to exercise his discretion
to that extent and effect. and this au-
;horizstion by Congress is expected to
be Incorporated In the army appropria-
tion bill. so that there may be an avoid
ance of the acquisition of various types
and a corresponding departure from a
standard pattern which has been adopted
by the medical officers

time to the outfit. giving the men ad-

suggestions and help were very much
appreciated by the guardsmen.
A much larger party is expected to
make the Fort Myer trip today. The

at 1e:2O p. m. sharp. and those who in
tend to 20 should be in uniform by that

Enhstments in the company will be dis
continued shortly. as the OUTFIT only
carries seventy-five men, and there are
now seventy-two on the rolls.
Orders have been issued for all mem
bers Of the company to report for platoon

has been appointed acting first sergeant
OF the First Platoon. and first-class Ser
geants johnson and Hall will act as

and has II all shined up and ready
for inspection.
All Quartermaster and ordnance
property of the company has been
moved to a room in the large build
ing In rear of the armory, and Sergt
Burns now has complete control.
Attendance has been very good of
late. but Capt. Terry is insisting on
100 per cent. and a few more summary
courts-martial will be dealt out to
backsliders. The question of attend
ance at drill has for a long time been
treated as a standing joke. or a mat
ter Of personal inclination: but a radi-
cal change has taken place. and the
commanding officer now believes that
some return should be made for the
money spent for the good of the COM
pany. and will be hard to convince
that a man cannot give two hours Of
his time each week in fulfilling the OBJ
legation he took upon himself when he
enlisted.
The company has been equipped
with new olive drab woolen uniforms
and as most of the men were measured
before the clothing was drawn from
the quartermaster's storehouse, they
are neatly fitted.
Oyercoats were also drawn. and are
being held in the storeroom. They
will be issued as needed. but will not
be kept in the mems lockers. as they
take up too much room.
Annual inspection will be held late
in February. or early in March. and il
the company is to maintain it's record
for good work. it will have to hustle
from now on.

A new Military Shoe

While the military authorities who have
TO do with the wearing apparel of the
army are not inclined to reopen the
question of footgear. they have lately
been interested in a new type OF shoe
This embodies a covering for the foot
of the regulation pattern with an upper
extension Of canvas. which has the effect
of converting the shoe into a canvas-top
boot. This is, in other words. a COM
bination shoe and leggin. the latter parts
so arranged that it may be easily ad-
iusted.
There are obvious advantages OF an ar
rangement of this sort in that II avoids
the separation of two articles so CON-
monty used at the same time in the
service. Any change of this sort. OF
course. would mean an extra expense
and the benefits derived from a new
form of foot covering would have to be
considerable to justify that cost. Con-
stantly the experts are discovering slight
notifications of the adopted shoe. and
these viii be made in new lots as oppor-
tunity is afforded for a change in the
specifications.
The army shoe as 1t now exists. how
ever, is considered to be the most prac-
teal and provides the maximum amount
of comfort and utility. both OF which
characteristics are most essential There
is still preference among members of
the enlisted force for a black shoe. espe-
cially for those occasions when they are
not on duty. The army shoe has been
thoroughly tested. and its military adop-
ton and the satisfaction which 1t has
given have been employed in the COM
mercial exploitation OF the article.
