Just down to give Burton the once
over was the way that Bill Lehman,
Eastern representative of the Maxwell
Motor Car Company, explained his visit
to Washington yesterday. Bill likes
Washington and when he finds that his
dealers in other sections are toeing the
mark all the while he drops into Wash
lngton for little vacation.
Speaking about vacations there is an
other Bill in town, who figues that any

He is bill" Simps !, manager Of the
Oakland Motor Car Company in this ter
ritory. He dropped down from Philadel-
phia yesterday to renew acquaintance
ship with the SmithTrew Company. To-
cal distributors, who, by the way, are put
ting over Oaklands faster than the fac
tory will suppy them.
All indications are now that Washington
will. before the week is out, recruit a
motor truck company for duty on the
border. At the meeting held Monday
night at the headquarters OF the Profess
sional Chaffeurs Association there were
thirty-six volunteers. A number Of others
who were present for various reasons
were unable to signify their intentions.
All day yesterday. however. there were
large number. including those who had
been present at the meeting the night
before. and others who had been unable
to be present, who called and announced
their intention OF volunteering their
services.
Modern armies travel less on their
stomachs than in the days Of Napoleon.
Then, when movements Of troops were
slow. the food problem was OF first i'm
portance, fighting afterward.
Now the food problem is Of no less
Importance, but its solution is not the
problem at long range that It once was
For an army now travels on its gaso-
line and tires. The stomach is resting
comfortably-to use a figure Of speech
on them.
There is no angle Of war tactics as they
now exist which is not answered in one
place or another by the automobile and
its allied industries.
The general gets his information by
wireless from his widespread front, but
the wireless is by current generated in
an automobile by a gasoline engine. Or
the general rides to battle not as Sheri-
dan rode, but in a fast and sure auto
mobile.
The army moves forward, its impedi-
menta, ammunition and heavier guns
towed by the gasoline motor. If with
machine guns, these move on motorcy-
cles or automobiles converted into NOV
ing armories.
The savalry of the air-the aeroplanes
are motor driven and tire equipped.
Communication OF physical nature
Is maintained with the base by means Of
trucks or swift-moving automobiles, and
the food and living supplies required are
kept On the way in the same manner
Should developments warrant a swift
movement OF $50 miles, automobiles carry
troops there. More automobiles carry
their equipment and without the need of
worry on the part Of the commander
who thus puts his troops a long way
from food base, the motor trucks keep
the food we'll at hand.
Just as in peace, no business of i'm
