ARMY NOW HAS
2,7OO TRUCKS
Number Sufficient for Present
Army, But Future Need
Will be Great.
BY Jonathan Winfield.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Today
the United States army has 200
motor trucks. That number is suffi-
cient with the army at its present
strength, but when recruiting begins
in earnest, with an army Of a million
as the goal, 300 motor trucks will
be but a drop in the bucket. A re-
port just submitted TO Sec'y of War
Baker by the committee on motor
transport estimates that no less than
from 80 to 40 thousand trucks will
be required to equip an army Of the
size contemplated in the army bill.
Basing their expectations on a re
cent report of the Coffin committee
of the council of national defense,
which has been in charge of all mat
ters pertaining 10 motor transport

creased purchasing power. as a re-
suit Of the American loan. will put
stupendous sums into circulation,
and this money must find its way
into the pockets Of the public.
Thousands upon thousands Of
new automobile prospects will be
created among those who have look
ed upon the motor car as a luxury
beyond their reach. Slightly higher
prices will prevail, both in the first
cost Of motor cars and in their oper-
alton. but increased money making
power will more than Offset this.
The war will greatly stimplate
all American industry. and thereby
make the entire country more pros
porous. which means a healthier
status for the motor car industry"

four thousand cars each month
thereafter.
Decentralization and three
ton trucks are the types finally Sc
lected by the motor transport board
as those best fitted for army work.
This board. in conference with COM
mittees of the American Automobile
association and the Society of Amer
lean engineers, has drafted a set Of
standard specifications for both
types of trucks. These specifications
which nil two huge volumes. were
submitted TO Quartermaster- Gen.
Sharpe and approved by him. The
specifications are now being printed
for distribution among automobile
manufacturers who will receive
government orders when the war
department starts to open bids for
new motor trucks.
Large department stores in vari-
Gus parts Of the country have Of
fered their entire motor truck de-
livery equipment for use by the gov
eminent. While their patriotism is
praised. il has been made very
plain by the war department that
none of these offers will be accepted.
The reason given is that trucks in
the government service must be of
standard design and. since the fate
of military unit may possibly de-
pend upon the efficiency of its mo-
tor truck equipment, the war de-
partment would be loath 10 give its
men in the field trucks worn by
hard usage in merchantile delivery
service.
The plans OF the engineer corps
for the use Of the motor truck con-
tingent provide for the use of the
trucks in connection with railroads
and mule trains. The principal en-
ployment of the trucks Will be car
rying supplies TO the front and
wounded to the rear.
Under the military plan. which is
said TO closely resemble that of the
German general staff. the supplies
would be carried to a main base by
railroad. There they would be load
ed on three-ton motor trucks, which
would carry them TO three sub
DdSeS- Al the Su D-DdSe the supplies
would be picked NJ by squads of
one and a half ton trucks and trans
ported TO nine line supply depots.
From the nine supply bases the
supplies and ammunition would be
transported to the contingents on the
line by mule team. This plan has
been tried out TO a limited extent
by the Pershing expedition in Mex
leo. In these limited trials it proved
very speedy and efficient.
Until the trouble with Mexico of
year ago the government had
made but few experiments with mo-
tor truck transportation. When
Pershing's column crossed the Dor
der trucks were bought by the hun
dred. Now. with the purchase of
thousands Of motor trucks in con-
temptation. the war department
seems to have learned its motor
truck lesson and to have solved, in
sofar as humanity possible, the diff
ficult transport problem.
