AuTo Used TRANSPORT MEN. MUNITIONS

1905 The Belgian army has more
than 6.000 motor vehicles. and the Eng
iish army more than 5000 During the
war something like $4,000 trucks have
been shipped from the United States to
Europe. Such trucks are used to trans
port men, food and ammunition. and
they have proved OF enormous value to
the forces on both sides of the battle
line. The Germans used them to rush
certain parts Of their army into Bel
GUM and they aided the French great
ly at Verdun. About one year after the
war in Europe began our War College
at Washington made a report to Con-
gress as to the value of motor trans
ports, and gave recommendations as to
the increase of this branch of our Army
establishment. 1t advised that auto
trucks be used for moving the men and
guns, and stated that single truck
would carry twenty men and equip
ment. 1t stated that the trucks could
be supplied with trailers and showed
how comparatively few could bring
thousand men to the reinforcement of
the trenches within a few minutes. Such
miles per hour and to travel 100 miles
in a day. For ell-round service the
one-and -one-half-ton truck is the best.
The motor transport of the modern
army is thoroughly organized. 1t has
its officers and it's privates. its trained
chauffeurs and its machinists. Con-
nected with every army in the field is
what is known as an automobile park
or motor car hospital This is where
the vehicles are taken for repairs.
Ordinary road troubles are remedied
by the chauffeurs. who carry extra
parts with them, but other repairs are
made in these machine shops. which
have power lathes, shapers, vulcaniz-
ing shops and blacksmith shops.
Every park has it's oxy-acetylene weld
ing outfit. by which the broken parts
of steel. brass or aluminium can be
Joined together. There are usually
several hundred cars in each park. and
the machinsts and other repair men
are under the command of captain
and two lieutenants. At present the
armies are doing all they can to have
the trucks and cars standardized. SO
that the parts of one machine will do
for breakages in others.
about the automobile industry OF the
United States than Detroit. This city
is the motor car center of the country
It has more than 5000 men employed
in the industry and its output of cars
last year was about 100000 in num-
ber. During the fiscal year ending last
July a single company had sold more
me they have still 100000 unified
orders on their books. The market
value of the cars turned out here last
year was more than $600, 100000.
Riding through the city. one sees
everywhere the evidence of the motor
car industry. He can count a half mil
lion dollars worth of pleasure automo-
biles at any hour of the day in Cadillac
square. and he will see trucks on
almost every street carrying loads of
automobile materials from plant to
plant. There are great factories de-
voted to making motor car parts and
accessories, and those making motor

which heat the boilers that in turn
move the great cylinders of the 5000
horsepower engines on the floor below.
That power plant develops $4,000 horse
power and it's engines are a combina-
tion of gas-steam type. There are
other engines which increase the horse
power TO $4,000, and that force is used
FOR the machinery of this one motor
car establishment alone. The power
plant is as clean as Dutch kitchen.
Its floors are of mosaic white tile. and
it makes one think of the bathroom of
millionaire. The electricity is gem
Grated there, and there is a great saw
ing in coal by use of gas producers.
The company consumes more than &c.
00e,0 cubic feet of gas per day, or
enough to light large city.
To give you some idea of these gre t
machine shops which are now being
adapted to the work of the war, l will
mention some of the things that L saw
in going through one of the plants. 1t
is the largest plant in Detroit, ana is
typical of the work that many of our
automobile establishments are now do
ing for ourselves and our allies. The
buildings of this factory are 900 feet
long and 500 feet wide. They are four
stories in height and they cover many
acres. Every square foot of them is
now humming with work, and the ma
chimes go on day and night all the year
through. Standing in one building you
can overlook single room which has
700.o square feet of floor space. 1t
actually covers more than sixteen
acres, and this is filled with machinery
OF such nature that it looks like
dense forest of fast-moving belts and
whirling wheels grinding away. There
are. in fact, fifty miles of leather belt
ing in the room. 1t contains 5000 diff
ferent machines in actual operation,
ard these represent an outlay of
S5.000,00G. The machines use $500 gall
Ions of lubricating oils every twenty
four hours and they keep busy thou
sands of men. The machinery reaches

I'm the center of the room the walls are
not visible and you can hardly see the
ceiling. There is a shrieking of the
cutting of steel upon steel, a buzzing
of wheels like the swarming of locusts.
and here and there at intervals are to
be seen men in blue overalls directing
the machines.
The ma chinery of such factory is so
arranged that it forms one continuous
process of construction. The raw ma
terial in the shape of rough forgings
and rough castings starts in at one end

] opened one envelope and the bills and

as 100000 and it averages more than
$4,000 every twenty-four hours. Dur
ing the month of May last it was more
than $1,000, 900. I am told that large
proportion of the workmen receive IS

This company has a profit-sharing
system based upon the habits, thrift
and work of the men and the use they
make of their money The share Of
the profits given each employe is dis

is to give the man who gets the least
wages the largest proportionate share
in the profits The system is such that
most of the employees make S5 and up

One of the most important values Of
this profit-sharing system said one
of the men at the head of the factory.
"is that our employees stay with M.
