secured. twenty-five hundred men are
at work producing the motors and
parts and assembling the machines
This force Is being increased as fast
as machinery comes in. At full pro-
duction, between 5000 and 5000 men
will be engaged
The REQ Co., at Lansing. Mich, the
onl yother company building hve-ton
tractors, has completed the first of its
machines and will begin quantity pro-
duction at once.
Every unit going into the produc-
tiOn Of the tractor is inspected and ac-
cepted before assembly begins, so that
the final test Is merely check-up
on previous inspections.
e., Does incredible Stunts.
This tractor is required to go up
a 100 per cent grade-that is to sal,
q hill running at an angle Of de-
grees. AS a matter OF fact. it will
go up G0-degree hill easily. The
carburetors in the motor are designed
so as to run when the machine is at
an inclination of 70 degrees; the oil
system is such that tipping the tractor
on end does not affect the proper feed.
One OF these tractors has been tipped
on end to nearly 80 degrees without
falling over. The center of gravity
is SO lok that the machine can do
almost incredible things in the way
of climbing steep places.
Besides hauling batteries of guns
and caissons. these tractors are also
intended for hauling other material in
an emergency. Several sizes of spe;
cial trailers are being built-a three
ton, tive-ton and ten-ton--Ol1 which
will be mounted guns out of commits
sion to be hauled back to the case

1t takes one man to operate a tract
or. instead of three, four or five artil-
lery drivers for six, eight or ten
horses. When the allied spring drive
starts next year. American-bu tract
ors in quantity should be on the front
to bring the supporting field guns up
to the advancing line--and they won't
ask for roads to bring them over.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. l3.--That this
commonplace, but how completely this
is the. fact can be best realized by a
look at the motive power OF our new
field artillery.
Inspiring pictures of artillery dash
ing into action. with the riders lash
ing their horses into gallop, are out
of date. u..
No horses will be attached to the
greater part Of our new field artillery.
Instead, there will be tractOrs-eQQip-
ped with Liberty truck engines and
protected by armor plate, capable Of
dragging the heavier pieces over the
toughest roads. or no roads at all.
where the going would be impossible
for horses.
At the Maxwell Motor Co.'S plant

the production Of the tive-tOn tractor,

plant is also making the transmissions

1t was the middle of last November
when the Ordnance Department be-
gan the work of designing the fve-ton
tractor. The Maxwell plant had the
first experimental model running 81
days after the patterns for the parts
were started. This model was sub
jected to all kinds of tests; it was re-
quired to do about everything except
run upside, down-every weak spot
was, checked up an dcorrections made.
Finally came the order to Ego
ahead" with production, the model
having been worked out completely.
In the last week of June the first
tractor was accepted by the govern
ment. Since then, the Maxwell plant
has been. warming up to the job as

be assembled, and the raw materials

Dear Nick:
Landed back (home?) few days
ago, from Aux Les Bains, one OF the
famous summer resorts where we
went to spend our first leave Of sew
en- long, wonderful days. We were
entitled to it some months ago. but
true to army red tape and slowness as
regards things Of this nature, we just
got it and were probably mighty lucky
to get 1t at all Not kicking bit, un.
derstand, but when such thing is to
be had and being entitled to it, we
naturally didn't see fit to turn it down,
when we finally. got things lined up
at our end and got the necessary
documents from the other end. There
was swimming, fishing, boating, noun
tain climbing, music OF all kinds from
tin whistle to symphony, fancy
drinks, good eats, fine big featherbeds
to sleep on, didn't have to get up,
didn't have to 60 to bed no orders OF
any kind, your own boss absolutely
for week. Saw some great sights
and by the time l get home will have
souvenirs enough to start curiO shop
OF all the "Oui Out QUIZ merci beau
caup," Tovt sweet" ETC., etc! etc! Ye
Gods! for real American girl, one
you can talk to, be understood and
can understand what she says. About
nine. fourths of the time over here, you
don'tknowwhether they say Shut up
or How do you like my new hat Oh!
it is re grande adventure no mis-
take about that. At that, tho we

! ties are done and we are free whole
great big hour and half, usually from
go p. m. after the evening concert
rs finished, to 1000 p. m. when we
must be in camp, in bed, lights out and
quiet!!
Am sending you, under separate COW
er, a newspaper, put out by and for

before, but you did not mention re-
ceiving them. 1t is sure clever little
paper and we look forward to it al
most as much astpay day. 1t is print
ed in Paris, weekly, and contains all
the news of the week and dwells at
length on the humorous happenings in
the course of army routine, some of
the best coming from the trenches
where the fight is the hottest. Our
boys are sure giving 'em hell and
here's hoping there will be no stop till
they get clear past Berlin.
We have been playing our heads off
lately as we received big bunch OF
new popular and classical music from
New York. All the late songs, ETC.,
and the fellows are crazy about them.
