FORDS Q CATERPILLARS
FOR WAR HIS CHOICE

Lieutenant George II. Robertson, 7th
Regiment. y. g. y. Y, was in charge
OF transportation az the 7th's camp at
McAllen, Tox. Robertson is remem-
bered in the automobile world as the
first American driver with an Ameri-
can car 10 win The Vanderbilt Cup race
and is one of the best informed men
on automobiles in this country. He
naturally had lot to do at McAllen
because although the soil bakes hard
in dry weather, rain converts IL into
a bottomless morsss. and it rained hard
while the 7th was in camp.
Robertsons general conclusions, for
the type of country he was in, are
that there are just two choices in
motor equipment. One OF them is the
Ford. the other the caterpillar. He
says TIE caterpillar will go over ground,
dragging a heavy load Of trailers also

because II is so soft and yielding. The
Ford car also can drag itself out of
soft spots better than anything else
he saw-and requires less attention
while doing so.
For country where stone roads are
available other types OF motor trucks
are all right, he says. The Tribune
will soon publish an article from Rob
