80 HE present war Is unique not
Al merely on account Of the vast
ness OF the contending armies
~ but on account Of the tremen-
dous power OF the weapons employed
and OF the manner in which inven-
tions used for sport alone have been
turned into assets In war campaigns.
Take for instance. the motor driven
vehicle--the result Of q development
not more than a quarter of a CEN
fury old and developed entirely for
sport and pleasure. It has now be-
come one of the mighty forces of the
armies Of Europe and has suddenly
taken its place as a necessary part OF
the modern army-the luxury of yes
terday becoming the necessity Of to-
day
The work Of the motor car IN the
great European conflict has been
studied by both the military critic
and the automobile expert. and they
each declare that few. If any. OF the
swift movements and sudden shiftings
Of the great armies in the field could
have been accomplished without the
aid Of motor-driven vehicle.
Motors Tested In 1901.
As far back as 1901 automobiles OF
all kinds, from the big lorries to the
motor-driven tricycles, were tried out
by the different nations al maneuvers
with more or less success. But out
side Of Germany these tests were made
with machines which had been loaned
the government by their owners.
They proved on the whole salts
factory yet only a few we're built for
army purposes. During the French
maneuvers few years ago. motor
tricycles we're employed for transport
ing staff officers and for scouting and
we're found 10 be adapted for the
work. About the same time the British
Government tried out the big motto,
lorries for transport purposes but

purpose. For light artillery or aero
plane guns a lorry Is serviceable. and
in this branch OF development the
Germans have taken front rank as the
Krupp works have turned out some
very interesting designs OF aeropiane
guns arranged on a strong motor lorry
chassis. These guns are so arranged
that they can be swung and made to
assume a vertical position.
Armored Cars.

ing the Russian Japanese War. but

built n number prior to the war. Bel
GUM had several as well. but when
the war began England did not possess
a single armored automobile and she
set about 10 improvise some by equip

steel plating. These cars have proved
successful. especially in carrying
lights for accommodating during the
nights. Not being as heavy as the
regulation armored car they can be
turned easily. The light may be
switched on and Off quite suddenly;
damage can be inflicted and the ligh,

DROPPED DEAD
Body of Albert e. Casweu With Lam
tern and Keys in Hand Found
Tuesday Morning

Body OF Albert T.. CasweI With Lam
tern and Keys in Hand Found
Tuesday Morning.
The lifeleSS body of Albert e.
Caswen was found at about lao
o'clock Tuesday morning by Alex
Porter on the sidewalk in front of
the C. H. Goss Co. garage. He had
been working for the Goss Co. for
two weeks as night Waterman and
when found had his lantern in one
hand and his keys in the other. T.
c. Wallace stopped to see him be-
tween midnight and one o'clock and
found him as well as usual. 1t is
thought that he must have fallen
while making his one o'clock round.
He had been in poor health for
about a year suffering from cardiac
asthma and for the last three months
had not worked at all in the emery
room of E. & T. Fairbanks e Co.
however, and felt that perhaps he
was equal to the lighter work of
Waterman. He had seemed to en-
dure the work well and his death
was entirely unexpected. 1t is par
ticularly sad that his only daughter
lives in California and his son, Har-
ley is in the woods at Trois Pistoles,
P. O., many miles beyond the city
of Quebec. Albert E. CasweIl was
born at Spaulding Neighborhood,
August %, 1855, the son of William
and Amelia Caswell and spent his
entire life in the town in which he
was born. Two sisters and two
brothers survive him, Mrs. Scrog-
gins and Mrs. Spaulding and Alonzo
and Lonnie of Colusa, Cal. He was
twice married. By his first wife,
Cynthia Parker, he had two children
who survive him Harley of st. Johns
bury who was on a fishing trip in
the Quebec woods at the time of his
fathers death, and Laura, Mrs. Carl
Gognon of San Diego, Cal. His
second wife whom he married Nov.
Is, 1907, was Mrs. Alice Caswell of
California. For 35 years Mr.. Caswell
worked for e. & T. Fairbanks & Co.,
but it was as chief of police that he
was best known here. He was a
Green Mountain Lodge, N. E. o. P.
member of the Odd Fellows and of
Plans for the funeral cannot be

Gated with.
