MOTOR TRUCKS EFFICIENT
Army Officer Says Eight Thousand
Trucks Can Move 100000
Tronne

A force of 100000 men requires
more than 5000 trucks, on the basis Of
one and half-ton capacity, is the
statement of Major Frank H. Lawton,
q. NJ. c., U. S. A., who bases his as
sertion on study of motor equipment
requirements of the armies in the Eu.
ropean war. Major Lawton recently
spoke before the Pennsylvania sec.
tion of the Society of Automobile En-.
gineers on the transportation lessons
OF the European war in relation to
the problems of preparedness in this
country. The lesson of Europe shows,
he said, as reported in the New York
Times, that rapidly moving troops
must rely on motor trucks. The tao.
tlcal unit of an army, division, con
sisting of $4,000 men, required 175,.
600 pounds of food day, and a great
task of organization was necessary in
order to be prepared to handle the
problem of transportation in this cOun-
try.
Comparing the truck with animal
transportation, Major Lawton said:
with animals the average march Is
eighteen miles per day, and with
total distance of seventy-fve miles
from the base $50 wagons would be re-
quired. With motor trucks of about
two tons capacity the work could be
done with 100 vehicles. With 240
trucks a division could operate $50
miles from its base A division oper-
ating forty miles from its base would
require thirty trucks.
Lessons from the present war in
Europe teach us the following facts:
Ordinary commercial trucks are best;
the special body types not necessary;
