NEW TRACTOR
 IS JUST LIKE
 A JUGGERNAUT

WASHINGTON, June = - The lat est production of the army ordnance hu-reau, a five-tou armored artillery tractor for hauling field guns, was de- monsuatcd here recently, with Sccrc- tary Baker Gen. March, chief of staff, and many foreign officers present.
 Hooked to a 4.7-mch field howitzcr. the machine ran over the rough, mud dy ground of Rock Creek park, which recently baked the British tank Brit tania. It went through ditches and holes without a stop, cut down trees and climbed over the fallen trunks drg ging the gun behind it.; climbed a 45- degree hill, where the mud was a foot deep as result of recent rains, and wound up the performance by rattiing Gowu a paved avenue at a tweIve-mile gait without leaving amuk on the paving.
 The whole load, including the gun and tractor. was approximately 10000 pounds.
 BAKER RIDES IN TRACTOR
 Officers who saw the demonstration are convinced that no Shell-torn terri tory will stop the rapid movement of American field guns when they are sent to support infantry adyances.lIore over, the machines are Shrapnel-proof and can be disabled only by a direct shell hit Secretary Baker and Gen. March rode in the tractor as it dragged the gun about the broken ground. La ter, they Puffed up and down hill be- side it, obviously pleased with the ma chimes powers,
 Besides an enormous saving in for age,every battery motorized saves hor- Ses which are killed by the thousands when going into action.
 The perfection of the tractor which is a short easily handled machine on caterpillar creepers, depended upon turning out an engine that would fnc- ton efficiently at sharp angle.

Mccoy stated:
81 can imagine with what glee the

how thoroughly it will be distributed
by them throughout the country"
The justice takes the opportunity
to reveal his feelings in regard to
George Creel. head OF the Bureau of

Couldn't you and George Creel or

By W. V. BYARS.

The struggle in the Senate Judi
ciary Committee closed yesterday
with a recommendation to the Senate
that the Overman More Power" bill
do pass. With the amendments OF
the committee it may he somewhat
less comprehensive. but II is certain
ly not less radical than as first intro
duced. During the war period II per-
mits any change in the administra-
ton of the Government the President
pleases. The substitute reported for
the minority by Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia would confine the opera
ton OF the bill to the War and Navy
Departments, the Merchants Fleet
Corporation and the Bureau of Mines.
With this issue before the Senate,
one still more far-reaching was pre-
scented in the Administration bill
introduced by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman OF the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, who waived personal
responsibility for il. II authorizes
the President to take over" for pur-
poses Of national defense any prop
erty in the United States, real, per-
NhlNu mag
necessary. Value Is to be appraised
and settlement made by agreement,
with the privilege of appeal to the
courts in case OF disagreement, IS
per cent of appraised value being
payable in such cases. III the use OF
property only is desired. proceedings
to decide what rent shall be paid
may be had as in case Of the rail-
roads. A proclamation, specified as
necessary in the case Of real property
is not so in the case Of personal
property, which may be 'requisition-
ed" Under the head Of mixed prop
.erty, telephone apd telegraph sys-
TENS, cables and wireless systems,
etc, might be classified. Mines and
factories would probably be classed
as real estate.
The Senate passed the agricul-
tural appropriation bill after adopt
ing the Gore amendment" by a
vote of 40 to IS and by a vote of 40
to % striking out the "Borland
amendment" adding an hours work
to the routine day of Department Of
Agriculture employees.
Under the Gore amendment, the
minimum price of wheat will be ad-
vanced from 81 to $3.50 bushel. In
closing the debate Senator Gore con-
demned price-fxing in the most I'M
compromising terms. This, how
ever, was only a matter of "funda-
mental principle" After being once
committed to the vicious system, he
saw nothing for it except to mimi
mize its evils. This, of course, meant
putting the price higher.
The only real argument made for
the higher price during the whole
debate was that of Senator Reed of
Missouri. He estimated the de-
crease in the buying power of the
dollar at about 30 per cent, during
the war period, and promised to
