New York Secretary of State
Cites Possible Use in
Times of War.
SEES USEFUL LESSONS
IN EUROPEAN CONFLICT
Tells How Raiders on United States
Might Be Repealed by Quick
Movement of Troops.

THE Use of Motor Cars in Mobiliza-
ton and in War" was the subject of a
discourse delivered a few evenings ago
by Francis NJ. Hugo, secretary of state
of New York. before the Automobile
Club of Rochester. at the opening of
it's army motor car preparedness cam :
paign. Secretary Hugo. in his address,
said, in part:
Experiments conducted with the mo :
tor car in the European war have so
far taught many useful lessons and
have suggested Interesting ideas. The
possibility of defeating a sudden raid
of the enemy along, approximately,
10000 miles of the coast of the United
States depends very largely not only on
the number of men who could be con-
centrated at given point. but also
upon the rapidity of this concentra-
ton. The truth of this statement must
be obvious when il is considered that
if a hostile force landed on our shores
d few hours after d declaration of war
they could do 50 easily. and. after ii
march of a few miles inland. they could
construct sufficiently effective trenches
TO render themselves safe against sud
den attacks and infantry fire making
the difficulty of defeating them greatly
increased

sidered the effects that the power of
moving troops rapidly along the roads
have been upon their early fortunes of
war. But with the front lines very
extended this control has been diff
cult. even with the aid of the wireless
and other improved methods of COM
murication. But if an attack has been
launched, it is obvious that if any al
alton of plans was to take place the
commander must be able to move along
the lines of action with utmost rapid
ity, leaving reserves ready to operate
on either flank at any critical moment.
So with about 5000 cars a force of APP
proximatcly 10000 soldiers could be
made available at the required moment
at almost any point. Thus nearly every
possible use of motor cars for military
purposes has been made. and alwa vs.
will be- because all war problems must
always depend upon mobility.
