one time of the day it may stand idle
large part of the time. This is
of course not favorable condition
for truck operation, although it can
not be adjudged so in any particular
case without careful accounting. Idle
ness, or its equivalent, slow motion,
may also be produced by the conges-
ton and delays often met with at
freight terminals and docks, or on
crowded streets, to say nothing of the
greater delays often occasioned by
the condition of the merchants own
shipping ard receiving departments.
While all these factors should be
recognized and introduced in our
formula at their true value, the mer-
chant should early realize that the
advent of the motor truck means a
new order of things with regard to
shipping facilities and shipping pro-
grams. The horse has long been
with as, and the impress of his per-
sonality and slow ways still re-
mains on our commerce. His tagging
pace, his limited capacity for load,
his limited hours Of labor, and, most
important of all, his low cost and
that of the vehicle he draws-all these
things have been faithfully reflected
in our shipping rooms. our shipping
clerks. our freight docks, and our ter
minals
The motor truck Is comparatively
expensive It commonly replaces
three or four wagons; and when it is
standing still, four horses are lying
idle. It is capable of good speed and
enormous loads. II asks for work;
and when given its capacity it starts
eomplacently away with cargo which

General Crozier, chief of ordnance, to-
day so informed the senate military

General Crozier also admitted that

In explanation of the fact that big
gun ships outrange American land
Notifications General Crozier told the
committee:
when these coast forts were built
we did not think it worth the ex-
pense to mount our guns so that an
elevation of more than fifteen per
cent could be obtained. We did not
think we could hit anything so faI
out at sea, even if our guns would
shoot that far.
"Since that time sighting and 9TH
er details of gunnery have been sc
improved that a few of our coast de-
tense guns are outranged a trifle by
the guns on certain units of other
navies."

SHOWS GERMAN RETREAT
AT THE BATTLE OF ARRAS

Motion picture reviewers are unani-
nous in their praise of the official
government pictures showing the re-
treat of the Germans at the battle of
Arras, which pictures have been CON
tracted for exhibition by Manager An
derson OF the Orpheum theatre. The
first installment of these pictures
Will be shown Wednesday matinee
and night, one day only and then
every Wednesday until the series of
six is completed.
The New York City Globe reviewed
these pictures as follows:
THE first instalment of THE Re
treat of the Germans at the Battle of
Arras, as thrilling as any war pic
lures yet seen in this country These
pictures are presented under the aus
pices of the Official Government Pic

devoted to American and British war
relief The pictures show British ar
irving on transports at French port !:
transports moving up the Cambria
road; battleplanes accommodating ov-
er the German lines, 10000 feet in
the air; guns, all sizes, from six-inch

CHIEF OF AMERICAN HABITS
Telephone Il Day and Night Requis-
lite; Both Commercial and So
cial Convenience.

Not poker nor the movie nor good
nature nor detachable cuffs, but the
telephone, should be ranked as the
chief of American habits. Just about
3OOOO.O00 telephone calls a day were
handled by the Bell telephone system
In 1916. That is 100 calls year for
every man, woman and child in the
country-eXcepting those members of
families who are too young to be held
up to receivers.
Like most habits, we take the teIe-
phone for granted, notes the New York
Tribune. Yet anybody beyond the ripe
age of thirty can remember very hand
lily when there was no such thing save
as public curiosity. If you wanted n
doctor you ran down the street TO
fetch him; or if you wanted a man for
luncheon you dropped a note the day
before. And, like all the other inven-
lions which have speeded up our means
of communication. the telephone has
done something more than merely COM
press life; ii has changed the quality
subtracting certain elements an6 add
ing others. You simply cannot be eIab-
orately courteous or impressively dig
nified in world that knows the tele-
phone. Those impressive Napoleons
who make it rule not to speak over
the phone are following a sound in
stnct-as are also the very toplofty
princesses of society with a similar
edict
1t has also perceptibly reduced what
little was left of solitude. The great
novelist or the great composer can af-
ford telephoneless hut or fiat. and so
/ gain enough peace and quiet to think
Plain Americans must have the tele-
phone at their elbow day and night or
go out of Enthusiastically as well as
commercially.
