 '1n the interest of the French peo- pie, and of the loyalty we owe them to divide our food in the maintenance of our common cause, ask the Amer ican people to do this. It is unthink- able that we refuse their request"

How Expert Automobile
Engineers Assist War Work

In the ordnance department the
need for motorization OF artillery ana
the handling OF ammunition by means
OF motor-driven vehicles are fully ap-
preciated. and rapid strides are being
made toward what will doubtless be
the most completely motorized artil-
Iery equipment of any Of the allied
bowers. This motorization involves
not only the use of numerous trucks
most of which will be OF the four
wheel-drive type. but also the use OF
numerous tractors. In this work the
Society of Automotive Engineers is
represented by it's president. CLOSELY
associated with this are the design
and construction of any apparatus
like so-called tanks. A past presi-
dent Of the society is commissioned
TO work upon the development oi
thes- special engines OF war. An
other s A. E. engineer has just been
assigned to take charge of the de-
sign. operation, and upkeep OF motor
driven ambulance equipment.
