DEVISE
PERFECT TRUCK
FOR ARMY USE
Factories viii Turn Them Out
at Rate of One Hundred
Per Day III.

WASHINGTON. D. c.-"This, more
than any other war in history, Is .
war Of transportation"
So spoke Newton d. Baker, secre-
tary Of war, and It Is the opinion Gt
all military experts that he uttered
the truth.
Motor trucks may do more to win
the war than big cannon or aero
planes. ..
At least Secretary Baker Is acting
on this belief and as result the war
department is today approaching an
ideal motor truck. BY January l, Il
is hoped, these trucks can be turned
out of American factories at the rate
OF 100 day,
When the war broke out the Society
of Automatic Engineers was allied
upon by the war department and the
council of national defense to per-
feet q truck for army transportation.
The Mexican border trouble had
shown that the commercial trucks In
use by the army were not adequate.
A score of the best combustiye en-
CINE makers Of the country, appointed
by the Society Of Automotive Etyi-
neers, were at once put to work by
the war department In devising the
ideal truck for army uss.
These engineers, who have now
been working on o motor truck for ap-
proximately two months, declare that
they have approached success and
that within two months more tha
United States can turn out motor
trucks for all the Allies to meet every
demand. Coker F. Clarkson, general
manager of the Society Of Automotiyo
Engineers, is directing The work.
Standardization OF parts is one OF
the results of the new motor truck.
Allied officers in this country nave
reported that because Of q lack OF

more than 30 per cent Of the motor
trucks behind the lines have been dis
abled, awaiting parts. Interchange

CHILE MOBILIzES
AUTO company
ON war BASIS

4 Chile, where automobiles were com.
paratisely few until recent years. and
which is stiil entirely without thep,
in many sections, is nevertheless mono
behind in advanced ideas of their use.
The following article, translated from
Sucesos, Valparaiso publication,
not only is an enlightening commen
tary on the Chileans' jealous inter
est In war preparation, but also ent-
phasizes previous indications that it
is a country in which the motor car
has an unusually good future in pros
pect:
ut is the very Just and patriotic de-
sire Of those who are at the head OF
our military school to extend at all
times the instruction given to the ca
diets, and they therefore conceived
the idea of mobilizing a company,
with automobiles, on a war footing.
Mr.. Jorge Besa, representative Of
Dodge Brothers motor car, consented
to furnish the number of cars fleces-
sary for the transportation of the ca
dets.
when 1t became know among
some OF the private owners of motor
cars that the military school would
undertake the maneuver on Satur-
day, the twenty-eighth of April last,
they very patriotically offered their
cooperation, placing their machines
at the disposition of the military. COM
mand of the school, The principal
object of the maneuyer was to try
out the embarkation, Decentralization
and transport of troops in automo-
biles, and the result was amply sat-
isfactory to the management of the
school, as well as to those Of US who
had occasion to witness the maneu-
yer, which was carried out In the most
perfect order and very rapidly 600 sec
onds In each Of the operations of
embarking and disembarking). As
soon as the destination had been
reached, the cadets performed some
military evolutions under Captain del
Pozo, who was in command of the
company.
'It might be mentioned that neither
going or coming did the cars suffer
any accidents or get out of order.
Upon the return to the school, Col.
Quiroga, In charge of the establish
ment, invited all of the chauffeurs
to the subofficers' casino, where
drinks were served, and in brief and
patriotic sentences he thanked them
for their enthusiastic assistance Be-
fore closing, 1t is our duty to call at.
tention to the very noble service per-
formed by Mr.. Jorge Besa, which is
an honor to him as q citizen and as a
patriot, he having undertaken the ar.
duous task of getting the motor cars
needed by the school"

hind Retreating Foe.
SURPRISED BY CAVALRY

tFrom a Staff Correspondent OF The Asso-
ciated f-ress)
British Headquarters in France,
March 2l.-(Via London. 1.-The pur-
suit of the Germans by the British
troops continues and at places sharp
fighting ensued today. This was par
ticularly true near Croisilles (north-
east of St. Leger), which is still
strongly held by machine gun COM
panies. The armies have been in
such close touch at other places that
field fighting tactics have been en-
ployed, the men firing from skirmish
lines.
Wherever the British troops pene-
trate territory formerly held by Ger
mans they encounter the same condi-
tons of destruction and devastation
as in Bapaume and Peronne. Only a
few villages have escaped, the Ger
mans in these instances having been
compelled to leave before their plans
to lay waste could be carried out.
Surprised by Cavalry.
The use of cavalry by the British
and French seems to have taken the
Germans by surprise, upsetting some
of their calculations. In one village
supper was abandoned, together with
much ammunition, and in other
places newly opened boxes of high
explosives were found, with which
the Germans had planned to destroy
the villages before leaving.
That the wholesale destruction was
characteristic OF German thorough
ness was shown by captured orders
on the>subject. These directed the
blowing up of all houses, wells and
cellars except those occupied by rear
guard outposts, the rear guard being
held responsible for making their
shelters uninhabitable before falling
back. All farming implements were
burned or destroyed. Wherever
building was spared it was first rem
dered filthy. The orders also direct
ed the assembling of filth at all wells
to contaminate the water.
Cigar in Cats Mouth.
The destruction of fruit trees now
apparently covers the entire belt of
evacuated territory, even those cling.
ing to the walls having been stripped
off. In one abandoned position
large black cat was found nailed to
an upright board. A cap was on its
head and cigar was in its mouth.
A British observation party, work
ing forward today on horseback, had
a rather exciting experience. The
patrol was attacked with machine gun
FIRE, by three German airplanes,
which swooped very low, but failed
to hit any members of the party.
Prisoners recently taken appeared
in the city bewildered when told of
the extent of the German retirement.
~ Think It Joke at First.
They said they thought it a great
joke when they first heard Of the Ger
man retirement; they supposed it was
solely for the purpose of getting the
British deeper and deeper into the
mud of the Somme. But when it
came to abandoning positions that
had been fortified with months and
years of labor there, was much de-
preston in the ranks. Most of the
German guns that formerly doomed
along the Somme seem to have been
utterly swallowed IN

Neutral Markings Give
Ships Little Protection

Christiania Via London), March q
1t is probable that the neutrality
markings on Norwegian vessels soon
will be removed. Agitation for their
removal is being conducted by the
ship owners and seamen's organiza-
ton as, it is pointed out, the markings
not only do not any longer protect
neutral ships, but make them an easy
prey for submarines, which now bold
ly attack neutral vessels, but are
more careful to keep at safe distance
from unmarked ships for fear Of these
being masked cruisers or armed mer-
chantmen.

Warning as to Our
Waning Vitality
(By Lee Herbert Smith, M. d.

(By Lee Herbert Smith, M. D.
In urging upon the country the
observance of last Dec. as "Medi-
cal Examination Day." the Life Ex-
tension Institute issued a circular in
which it called attention to the rea-
sons why every man should take
stock of his physical condition just
as frequently as he takes stock of
his financial condition, thereby learn
ing his weak spots and taking meas
ures to repair them before it is too
late.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and
listless, one should take a spring
tonic. One that will do the spring
house-cleaning, an old-fashioned herb
al remedy that was used by every
body nearly 50 years ago Is still safe
and sane because it contains no alco-
hol or narcotic. 1t is made up of

out by DR.. Pierce in ready-to use form
and since then has been sold by mil

Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done' The answer is easy. Eat
less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of
water between meals, and take an uric
acid solvent after meals for awhile,
such as Anuric double strength, OBJ
tainable at almost any drug store. 1t
was first discovered by DR.. Pierce.
Most every one troubled with uric
acid finds that Anuric dissolves the
uric acid as hot water does sugar

Wrote ''Das Capital" On
PAY for Tribune Letters

Marks daughter writes in her pref
ace that her father spent prodigious
labors on these letters, porting over
the records Of the House of Commons
end of the British Museum for days.
Does any one imagine that Marx, in
the intervals of his work on the first
volume of his Capital" and of his or
ganization of the workers of Europe,
would spend endless time on an expose
Of Lord Palmerston's policy OF peace
with Russia, and later passionately de-
vote himself TO the encouragement of
the Crimean War against the Russian
autocracy, unless he believed that the
cause of the worker would thus be pro-
NOTED and that by giving blood and
treasure side by side with the bour-
geoisie in wars against feudalism the
day of his revolution would he
fastened?
Whether mistaken in his aim and in
his war methods, thus il was with Karl
Marx, who, signing himself. yours for
the Revolution" carried the shield and
lance of Capitalism" far into the camp
of feudalism, which it were well to
Stay by whatever alliance.
1t is a fundamental of Marks Ri
csrdan Socialism and his theory of
evolution that progress is from the
feudal state, through the capitalist
state and to his dream state. and he
repeatedly gives credit "to capitalism
aid the bourgeoisie" for its destruction
OF feudalism and autocracy, and its
bridge TO MARKHAM Socialism.

The pacfst-Socialists are thus with

The original pacifists of the Quaker
variety have distinguished genealogy;
the intellectual pacifists of the Lake
Mohonk species constitute an ethical
group; the unorganized conscientious

more or less cunning opportunists.

Great Struggles for Free
dom
ByWilliam ]. Black

These unhappy American Socialists
who weep and pray with conscientious
directors against the use of arms in
social strife and who, discovering
themselves in the company of pacifists'
entreat peace with the European auto
Gratis. can find no comfort in the record
Of Karl Marx. whom they profess to
follow.
Marx, the lawgiver, the prophet and
the pontifex maximus of socialism and
founder of "LInternationale," would
to-day have championed the cause OF
militant democracy and bitterly would
have >assailed the Prussian autocracy
from without, or, had his exiled feet
turned homeward in time, would have
hurled the anathemas of his COM
munistic religion at the Kaiser's head
from the same dungeon walls as now
confine the son Of his intimate friend
Liebknecht.
History holds strange parallels. The
fiery ZEAL with which Karl Marx urged
the participation of the Socialists IN
the Franco British struggle against the
Russian autocracy in 1852 afforded an
analogy with his later passionate
avowal of the Union cause during the
American Civil War on precisely the
same basis as the French and English
Socialists are to-day urging and secur-
ing the cooperation OF the American
