Navy Installs Motor Trucks.

The preparedness propaganda is TAX
ing visible effect in increasing the eff
ficiency department of the United
States aeronautic service. The Navy
Department has recently installed a
motor truck tender service at aero
nautic stations for the transportation
of knock down aeroplanes. supplies
and ammunition. A Little Giant one
ton. chain drive truck has been adopted
and is now doing duty at Pensacola,
Fla. with the United States naval aero
nautical station. Here it is called upon
to transport heavy loads over stretches
of deep sand and rough going is en-
countered in the serving of aeroplanes
on the governments proving grounds.
The installation is prophetic in con-
nection with recent developments, in
both the army and navy where the
motor truck as means of rapid trans
portation,, as well as armored fighting
machines, is playing an important part.
The absolute necessity of the motor
truck has been demonstrated during
the past few months in keeping up
traffic communication between supply
bases and the extended United States
lines of march in Mexico. In short
cutting distances not traversed by rail-
roads the motor truck is solving a
great transportation problem for this
country in the defense of its rights
and policies.

feeling between the two organizations,

practically nothing accomplished In the

adoption of the local police regulation

Some Large Contributions.

The smallness of the total sum re-
ceived as compared with the large
number of subscribers is due to the
fact that only a small contribution is
sought from each individual or firm.
This because Club officials believe that
if every Washingtonian who will de-
rive pleasure or profit from the road
after it's completion would contribute to
it's construction. less than so cents
would be needed from each subscriber.

were between Knoxville and Harpers

this point being in bad shape for a

the distance is only two miles. The
