OYSTER POLICE BOAT HERE.
Steamer Maury Officers Say They
Had No Part in Shin Clash.

Fresh from the war zone" on the
lower Potomac. the Virginia oyster
police boat Commodore Maury arrived
here yesterday afternoon and berthed
at the 9th street wharf. The Maury
is the vessel of the Virginia fisheries
police that was sent to capture Capt.
Bozman and the schooner Elizabeth
Clarke. which, it is alleged, had been
sailing up and down the river dis
pensing liquor.
The officers of the steamer say they
took no part in the fight to capture
the schooner. but under orders from
Virginia authorities took the sheriffs
Of Westmoreland and Northumberland
counties. with their deputies, in search
of the vessel. She was found at Car
ters wharf. on the lower Rappahan-
mock river. and all the firing was done
by the law officers. The injuries to
Capt. Bozman were slight, the tips of
two fingers having been cut off, the
officers say. and his death was from
other causes. The Commodore Maury
will remain here until Tuesday morn

Meetings Enthusiastic.

1t is doubtful if a more enthusiastic
series of good roads meetings has been
held than the sessions which had to
do with the Atlanta gathering in con-
nection with the Bankhead highway, to
extend from Washington to Richmond,
Va; to Atlanta, Ga; to Birmingham,
Ala; to Memphis, Tenn. and then across
Arkansas and on to the Pacific coast
over route not yet decided upon. Gov.
Harris of Georgia, Mayor Gambler of
Atlanta and Judge T. E. Patterson,
chairman of the state highway commits
sion, were among the speakers at the
luncheon given in honor of the Alabama
senator, whose name was coupled with
that of Representative D. w. Shackle-
ford of Missouri in the passage of the
federal aid road act.
The consensus of opinion and the
subsequent action of the business
meeting were that great highway
made up of ntercommunicating state
post roads would prove of incalculable
benefit to the states passed through,
and would meet our national necessities
commercially. socially and for defense.
Senator Bankhead, in the course of his
address, dwelt particularly upon the
great wisdom of keeping in mind at
this time the part which connecting
highways would serve in military
mobilization purposes. 1t was agreed
that the use of combined federal and
state money should have reference to
roads which serve the greatest number
of people and relieve the states of a
percentage of their expensive high
ways and thus make it possible for the
the counties on the essential market

HIGH SPEED OF TRUCKS
USES UP TIRES QUICKLY
Increases Shocks Beyond Capacity
of the Rubber to Alb
sorb Them.

Running truck tires at excessive
speeds is common fault among truck
drivers says the manager of the serv-
ice station of local tire company.
The effect is the same he says, "as
running them over rough roads. for
speeding magnifies every irregularity.
The tires will absorb the shocks when
the truck is operated at the recon-
mended rate of speed. but increasing
the speed greatly increases the force
of the shocks. For instance. doubling
the speed makes the force of these
shocks four times as great
When you consider the shocks a
truck tire must absorb when driven
carefully. you can understand how the
tire is taxed beyond it's limit of pow
er to absorb when driven at excessive
speed.
There is no form of truck fire abuse
which is more expensive than speeding

tires, he could not find a quicker way
than to run the truck, heavily loaded,
at excessive speed. This is sure way
to destroy tires, and yet We see 1t al
most daily.
IN the first place there is the dan
ger that the centrifugal force in swift
moving tire will tear the soft rubber
from its base and generate heat that
will cause the rubber to deteriorate
No matter how great the cushionfng
qualities of rubber. the tire does not
have time to accommodate itself to
the rough surface of the road, and the
destructive jolting caused will be very
costly. An expensive truck can soon
be Jared out of commission by speed
ing.

a truck tire can be increased through
little care, and inevitable that IT

Would Impede Landing.

again, were the enemy able to ad-
vance further inland, seizing on its
way some cities or villages where
supplies could be obtained, it might be
very difficult indeed to eject the raid
ers, if in large numbers. or arrest their
progress without an overwhelming su
perior force. But if, on the other hand,
hostile fleet with its transports were
signaled to be present off a possible
landing place a rapid concentration of
even a few thousand infantry and few
batteries could take place, and not only
would such landing be very much
more difficult and prolonged, but it
might be prevented altogether.
Now to get troops rapidly to the
must obviously be used, and whereas
it is undeniable that for very long dis
tances the railways might be as rapid
means of conveyance, nevertheless,
motor cars could transport troops more
quickly to any strategical point on the
coast than would be possible with the
best arrangements capable of being
made by the railways
1T is clear. therefore. that the util-
ization of motor transports for mobil-
ization is a matter which should be
given more attention in this country.
Formerly they were used largely for
staff purposes. but during the present
European struggle their efficiency has
been suddenly demonstrated to war

first step in the national preparedness

Could Move Troops Swiftly.
Here arises another point with re-
gard to mobilization by motor cars
which should not be forgotten. The
cars having conveyed the troops to the
required vicinity. they could remain at
some convenient place to await fur
ther developments. If the first infor-
nation proved to be inaccurate and the
enemy attempted to land elsewhere, the
troops could be moved with a speed
equal to that with which the enemy was
being conveyed in his transports along
the coast. In this connection especial
ly has the operation of motor cars upon
the battlefield been fairly tested. for
until the present conflict there had been
no military campaigns in which good
roads have been available since the
motor car has become a practical and
trustworthy vehicle.
Military experts evidently have con-
sfdered the effects that the power of
moving troops rapidly along the roads
has produced upon their early fortunes
Of war. With the front lines very ex-
tended. this control has been difficult,
even with the aid of the wireless and
other improved methods of communi-
cation. But II an attack has been
launched. it is obvious that If any al
teration of plans was to take place.
the commander must be able to move
along the lines of action with utmost
rapidity, leaving reserves ready to op-
