MOTORS IN WAR SERVICE
TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
W. Owen Thomas Suggests Methods
of Simplifying the Truck
Problems.

W. Owen Thomas, consulting engi-
neer. is advocating methods Of simpli-
flying the problems that confront motor
trucks in war service. Mr.. Thomas
says:
In any truck it is an advantage TO
limit the number of tools necessary for
ordinary operation. This is especially
true of a truck for war service. Tools
should be non adjustable as far as pos
sible
Several trucks in France are limited
to the use of four sizes of bolts and
nuts. and one gets along with three
To handle four sizes needs but two
double-ended wrenches. The wrenches
have an end socket and two side
sockets set fifteen degrees apart. Only
socket wrenches should be allowed.
Only Best Hand Tools Suggested.
"only the best hand tools should be
supplied. The ordinary SO set of tools
in canvas case is useless and never
gets replaced. Tools should be stand
ard for the whole service and should be
bought in quantity from the tool
makers, not with the vehicles.
THE same is true of jacks. The av-
erage jack is useless; in the mud it is
hard to maintain the best ratchet type
of jack. Stout bottle screw jacks in
two lengths are the most practical
Each truck must carry sledge ham
mer. an axe, crowbar and a shovel.
when truck is mired it Is impos-
sible to use the jack except under the
frame. To do this it is necessary to
carry short lengths of plank and chains
with strong clevises to chain the rear
axles to the frame.

Draft The Idlers.

duced bill directing the Presi-
dent to draft into the military
service all able bodied citiz MS be
tween the ages oi 20 and so who
cannot prove that they are en-
gagged in some useful oecupa tion
at least 10 months in the year.
In MIR. Jolnson's opinion the
passage of such measure will
put to work thousands of men

military service, but who do not
render any real good To society,
and are at present largely sup
ported by the efforts of others.
The bill has been referred to the

PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL.
Statement 10 Issued in Order to Clear
Up Misunderstanding Per Cent
Of White Men From Each Local
Area Go to Camps September 5.

Washington.-At the suggestion Of
General Crowder telegraphed to all
governors Saturday night a supple
mental explanation of regulations gov
erning the status of married men un-
der the selective service law. No
change in regulations is made; and
the purpose Of the new statement is
to clear up MISUNDERSTANDING which
have arisen In what General Crowder
describes as IA few instances.
In letter to Secretary Baker quot
ed by General Crowder, President
Wilson states his opinion that the reg
ulation directing local boards ito es-
tablish the fact Of dependents, in ad-
dition to the fact of marriage, ought
not to be abrogated." This leaves the
regulations as they are and the sup
Elementary statement is designed
merely to make the application of the
rules uniform among all boards.
While the statement regarding mar
ried men was in preparation, new Or
ders were issued, changing entirely
the mobilization arrangements previ-
ously made. Congestion Of rail traf-
fic and the necessity Of making better
provision for the reception OF the men
ut the cantonments dictated the
changes.
Few to Go at First.
Under the new orders 8 per cent Of
the white men, preferably those with
military experience, from each local
area, will be started forward to the
camps September instead of 80 per
cent They will go in five daily de-
tachments of equal size and form sKel-
eton company organizations and set
up u going concern into which the re-
mainder of the total quota can be ao-
sorbed without confusion as they
reach the environments.
The next 40 per cent OF the quota
will go forward September 10, when
the second 80 per cent originally was
scheduled to go; second 4O per cent
will go forward October instead OF
the third 30 per cent and the remain
ing IS per cent will be called up as
soon thereafter as practicable.
Local boards are directed to disre-
gard order of liability numbers to
some extent in selecting the hrst D
per cent as men of experience, sucn
MS cooks and former soldiers, are de-
sired at that time. Warning Is given,
however, against getting into this levy

who might not otherwise nave Deeh
