War Auto Trucks
OF New Design To
Be Made for u. S,
Government Will Use Only
Vehicles Made Especial
ly for Army Service

Washington. May 23.-No commsn-
deering Of commercial auto trucks now
in private service is planned by
the War Department. ltis believed that
the manufacturing plants can supply
them as fast as they are needed. Bids
have already been asked on orders of
from 1000 to $4,000 trucks of two types,
known officially as class a. and class
"B." The bids will be opened in Chi
cago on June 10.
The new army trucks will be OF a
construction which would handle, in
commercial service, loads of approx
mately three to five tons. The specfi-
cations for the trucks were formulated
by the War Departments motor trans
port board, of which Colonel Chauncey
b. Baker is the head, in conjunction
with several divisions of the standards
committee of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers.
The specifications are drawn not as
an arbitrary standard which the gov
eminent will insist on securing in all
contracts. but as a goal TO be approx
mated with due allowance for the ca
pGcity and facilities for manufacture
in existing commercial plants. They
have been drawn to meet successfully
the worst conditions of service which
military trucks might be compelled to
eXperIenc.
Fortunately for the country in the
existing emergency" Colonel Baker said
to-day, "the prevailing types of Ameri-
can commercial trucks have proved
fairly adequate to the field work in
France. where superior roads and short
hauls make conditions much more ia
vorable for truck operations than in
this country.
MANY American firms have been en-
gagged in making these trucks for the
Allies on large scale, and this gives
assurance that these factories will be
capable of turning out military trucks

Washington. May 23.-The govern
ment has obtained options on enough
leather TO meet the needs Of the new
army. according TO statement made
to-day by Julius Rosenwald, chairman
OF the supplies committee Of the Coun-
Gil Of Defence.

custrics from all sections OF the coun-
Try. Through the aid OF these men the
committee has been able TO bring 10 the

which will be thoroughly practical for
the forces which we send abroad.
"Under existing American road con-
ditisns the design approved by the

Society Of Au,omotive Engineers VIII
be found decided improvement IN
many ways for commercial purposes
and the new government specifications
should have very beneficial effect IN
raising the efficiency of three and hVe
ton trucks in commercial service.
"For all-around use a military truck
for American service must have great
er strength and endurance than similar
trucks abroad. because of the inferior
roads and longer hauling distances IN
this country II is the superiority OF
French roads which makes the standard
commercial type capable of bearing up
under war conditions abroad.
"The new War Department speciica-
tions have been Influenced materially
by our experience on the Mexican Dor,
der, where the extreme climatic ana
operating conditions have served admir-
ably to discover the points OF weak
ness. The same improvements would
naturally be equally valuable IN trucks
for American commercial uses, since
they must stand much the same kind OF
road strain, if lesser in degree.
"The government is also working on
the problem Of supplying trained driv..
ers to operate the increased number or
trucks, and satisfactory progress tow
ard it's solution is being made, although
in many ways it is a more complicated
and difficult question than securing the
trucks themselves. Toward this end
we are getting in touch with various
private agencies, such as schools estab-
lshed by automobile factories. to Sc
cure their help in supplying the de-
ficency."
