5000 TRUCKS NEEDED.

w. Owen Thomas, Of Thomas a
Thomas, consulting automobile eng1-
neers Of Detroit, with two years OF
experience as chief OF mechanical
transport for the Canadian govern
ment, believes that the estimate Of
fifty thousand motor trucks for the
American army in Europe will Be
none too large.
The statement from Europe that 10
per cent Of those trucks. or 5000.
win be laid up for repairs az all
times, may be about correct, In tire
estimation OF Mr.. Thomas, who saws
that the proportion Of Americas
trucks in repair will be
smaller than that Of the allies with
out a doubt.
The 10 lines OF trucks and ~ off
ferent models in use by the allies
made requirements difficult, and
much of the troubles experienced In
this way will be avoided BY the Am
orleans.
