FRENCH ARE ATTRACTED
BY AMERICAN AUTOS
Economy Of Operation and Low
Price Are Especially Subjects of
Favorable Comment.

Consular reports from France re-
sarding the Lyons fair are to the eff
feet that the American cars there at
tracted q great deal of attention. econ
ony Of operation and low price being
especially the subject of favorable
comment. The report says:
The manufacture of automobile
ranks among the greatest of French
industries. France was one of the
earliest in the fiSld and still occupies
an enviable position. At the Lyon
fair there were represented no less
than twenty-five different makes of
touring cars and twenty-three trucks
and Industrial machines. and twenty
three firms exhibited automobile acces-
sories.
Among the automobiles of foreign
manufacture were Ave American cars
and as many Italian. The American
cars attracted a great deal of attention
and elected favorable comment, espe-
cially as regards their latest improve
ments, economy of operation and low
price. American automobiles are get
ting a firm foothold in France. Prac-
tlCally ali Ine pest makes OF Frencn
cars were represented. One of the fea-
lures of the French car exhibit was the
excellence of the finish even on the
trucks. This was remarked by the
representatives, of an American car,
who observed that, while American
manufacturers could undoubtedly equal
the finish. 1t would mean a material in
crease in the cost. due primarily to
the higher scale of wages prevailing In
the United States.
I'm automobile accessories there
were. as stated. twenty three firms
represented, nearly all French. These
exhibits were placed partly in the
Palais de Commerce and partly in the
automobile section Of the fair. Prac-
| tically every part Of the automobile
| and the new inventions were displayed,
as far the French machines were
| concerned. and there were also in evil
| dence accessories from Italy. Switzer-
/ land and England, and some from the
United States. The practical absence
| of automobile accessories of American n
manufacture Is to be deplored, and it is
| important that at the next fair the

UTILITY Of THE AUTO

New Branch of Military Serv-

PLANS HAVE APPROVAL
OF HIGH ARMY OFFICERS
Information Regarding Adaptable
ity of Machines to Armed Con-
lict Obtained at First Hand.
BY HOWARD S. FISK.

Organization of an entirely new and
very important branch of military
service is now engrossing the atten-
tion and study of automobile engineers.
This has been officially recognized and
approved by prominent officials of the
War Department and such officers of
the regular army as Maj. Gen. Leon =
ard Wood. U. S. A. commander of the
Department of the East, with head
quarters at Governors Island, n. Y.
The war in Europe first called atten-
tion to the fact that in the event Of
the United States becoming involved
in war the mobilization Of forces will
depend in a large measure on the auto
mobile industry furnishing motor truck
trains and the automobil engineers
becoming officers in charge of a branch
of the service whose special duty would
be to meet the requirements Of motor
transportation in time of war. Recent
affairs along the Mexican border have
emphasized this conviction.
1t will be news to many, even those
best informed on what is transpiring
within the automobile industry, that
some of the best motor engineers in
the United States have been studying
war conditions first hand in Europe
with the great armies with a special
view to fitting themselves to give the
most efficient service possible to the
United States in a preparedness" pro-
gram which considers the problems of
motor transportation.

AMBULANCE ON EXHIBITION.
Motor Vehicle Inspected by Officials
of War Department.

There was exhibited a few days ago
before officials of the War Department
an ambulance, built to the specifica-
tons of the ambulance board and de-
signed to carry four recumbent passen-
gers or eight sitting down. The am
bulance was finished in olive-drab coll
or with red crosses on either side.
The machine is provided with two
reservoirs for water, complete medi-
cal kit and a reserve supply of gasoline
and oil. There is space in the bottom
of the body for storing away the equip
ment belonging to the wounded SOL
diers The total weight to be carried,
including body. supplies and men. will
vary from 5000 to 3,700 pounds.
The body shown is mounted on one
ton Packard chassis. thousands of
which have seen service on the Euro
pean battlefields. Ambulance work in
northern Mexico, 1T is said, requires
machines of sturdy proportions. Euro
pean practice has shown that light ma
chimes are not able to stand the serv
ice demanded of ambulance equipment.
When recent orders are completed
there will be nearly 500 Packard motor
trucks assisting in the work along the
Mexican border and with Gen. Pershings
forces.

Scope Rapidly Extended.


The scope of the society is being ex-
tended rapidly, as was contemplated in
its original organization, to fields of
engineering allied to that of the motor
car namely. aeronautics. tractor,
motor boat and stationary internal
combustion engineering. as was stated
by President Hun at the last meeting
in the following:
at is not necessary to review in
detail the many points of mutual inter-
est and the close relationship of the
engineers in the automobile, aero, ma
rine, tractor and stationary gas engine
field. except. suffice it to say. that such
important problems as the fuel ques-
ton. engine fabrication, ignition. ther-
NAL efficiency. mechanical efficiency.
balance, cooling, cost, weight and
many other such phases of engineering
study are common to all the foregoing
lines of development.
why then should not the society
which is fostering the study of all
these items be the parent national body
to which all the engineers in their al
lied Industries should belong"

Views of C. F. Clarkson.

Coker F. Clarkson. secretary of the
Society of Automobile Engineers, who
has been in direct touch with every
feature Of this phase of the prepared
ness movement, said recently:
From the first when the need for
preparedness appeared, the automobile
engineers have stood ready to do their
part in any possible way. This was
formally expressed by resolutions
adopted by the council of the society,
followed by the tender of services to
the government in development and op-
Grafton Of a military transport system
THE government has indicated for
some time its attitude that the automo-
bile industry would not only have to
furnish the mechanical units for
transport system. but also. as in the
case of the Institution of Automobile
Engineers Of Great Britain, furnish
through its engineering organization
which is the Society of Automobile En-
gineers, the men in large part to super
wise the conduct of division motor truck
trains. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
mander Of the Department of the East,
L. S. A, has been making for some
years through his aids a study of the
requirements Of motor transport in time
of war. The first announcement of his

Gordon Johnston of Gen. Woods stan,
including the type and capacity of

need OF legislation to provide for the
efficiency of motor reserve CORPS
stating frankly that the necessary per-
sonnel from second lieutenant UP to
major would have to be recruited from
the engineering arm of the automobile
industry.
The military transport committee of
the society, appointed to cooperate
with the government and with similar
committees from the National Automo-
bile Chamber Of Commerce and the
American Automobile Association is
now formulating recommendations, to
be made to the various divisions of the
society's standards committee, as to
what mechanical military standards
should be developed and as to what
types of machines shall be included in

motor transportation committee of the
general staff is concerned with the
broad questions of general organization
and of policy necessarily involved in
the utilization of motor vehicles for

Investigation in Mexico.

Others have been making investiga-
tions along the Mexican border and
even within Mexico SO that they may
advise the military authorities regard
ing what is necessary to place the
United States in a state of practical
preparedness along this line. They are
also studying the motor transportation
of troops from all angles and develop
ing an organization that will give the
nation trained efficiency when the hour
of need comes.
At the very start of the preparedness
movement the automobile industry
showed this spirit. that it realized that
its capital was also at Washington; and
since the Mexican crisis arose it has
been active in extending to the gov
ernment full cooperation. What the
makers have been doing has
been published in the news of the day,
but what the automobile engineers have
been doing has not heretofore been
given to the public in a way that made
known the broad plans of the work un-
dertaken by the engineers
