TRUCKS PLAYING
BIG PART IN WAR
Motor Vehicles Proving Themselves
Indispensable in Great Battle
Around Verdun.

Bar-le-Duc, Correspond
ence of The Associated Press THE
post of military motor-car conductor,
much sought as sort of safe refuge
near the front and a soft berth in the
rear during the earlier period of the
war, has now become a post of honor.
Many driver are now wearing the COW
eted W. cross; few of them have
earned the military medal
Motor car transports carrying men
and munitions did what the railroads
would have done had their lines been
sufficient in the battles of Verdun.
There was nothing but local de-
partnental narrow guage railroad
leading from the supply depots behind
the front to the battle tield-inade-
quate to bring up supplies alone. to
say nothing of reinforcements, can
non and ammunition. To provision
the army of Verdun it was necessary
to exploit circuit Of miles of road
like a railroad with motor cars. The
motor car acquitted itself so well that
it was cited in the orders OF the day OF
the army. Motor lorries. motor trac-
tors dragging big guns, motor carry
alls bringing up reinforcements, motor
ammunition transports, succeeded
each other around that 50 mile cir
cult at 20 second intervals, forming
continuous line that amounted prac-
tically to the same thing as rail
road train SIS miles long.
The circuit is reserved exclusively
for motor cars, and is exploited by a
commission at Barbecue that does
nothing else than see that the route
is kept free from obstruction, protect
ed from the enemy's air craft, and that
the endless line of cars is kept in mo-
ton. All night as well as all day the
line moves around the circuit. After
dark a we'll organized signal service
regulates the traffic and. as they ap-
proach the front, transmits routing
orders to different detachments of car;
by luminous signs. At times with thr
signals and headlights the long line
resembles a gigantic glow worn
crawling around the circuit.
The route reserved to motor cars i!
divided into six sections, each with F;
