TRUCK MAKERS MUST
help To BEAT HUN
William Eldrege Say, Motors Are
Necessary to Victory.
BY WILLIAM ELDREGE
General Sales Manager Henderson
Motor Company.)

hopor Company
District DENLY Truck.)
The new year demands that every
motor truck manufacturer do not only
do his bit-but his all. The European
cataclysn. has revealed the motor
truck as q supreme necessity for ef-
fective warfare. Marvellous as are
the new methods of waging war-the
aeroplane, the submarine. the highly
developed arms and armament-theIr
usefulness would be severely impaired
without the dependable service OF the
motor truck. In addition to service
as supply trains. army trucks have
proven stridngiy effective for troop
transportation. With motor trucks an
army Is wonderfully mobile. Remem-
berthe taxicabs saved Paris: the mo-
tor trucks saved verdun. TIE army
trucks transport soldiers to ths first
line trenches and the motor Snbu-
lances carry the wounded to hospitals
In the rear. The slow-moving, death
dealing tanks-armored and armed
motor trucks-have been mighty
weapons for offensive warfare. Gen.
eral Byng's paraphrase. Il expect
every tank to do its damndest." will
live as long as history. To keep the
new American army in Europe sup
piled with motor trucks will tax the
resources OF every great motor truck
plant in this country.
When we add to this the domestic
demand for motor trucks the truck
manufacturers task grows tremen-
dously. Although the railroads have
risen magnihcently to the demand
war has laid upon Misunderstanding the
tonnage hauled by 90 per cent with
the same equipment used before the
war-they have been swamped by the
demands laid upon them. By elm
mating competition and the confusion
Of priority orders, the government will
doubtless be able to add considerably
to the amount OF tonnage hauled by
the railroads. But even this will not
be enough The motor trucks must
and are coming to the rescue.
Thousands Of merchants and manu-
facturers are arranging to install mo-
tor trucks for deliveries within a
radius Of fifty miles; some are even
arranging to haul hundreds OF miles.
The government will supplement the
work Of railroads on army contract
work by great trains of motor trucks
The high upkeep cost and general in
efficiency Of horse hauling is driving
merchants who depend on this mode
OF delivery to motor trucks by the
tens of thousands. Thus the 1913 prob
lem OF the truck manufacturer is not
one Of sales. but is, primarily. that Of
production. He must double and
treble and quadruple his output, aRd
this in the face of labor and ma
terial shortage. The truck manufac-
turers must take a hitch in his cit
and ''go to it, with all the resources
he can muster. Before the year is
very advanced the man in need Of a
motor truck may have to do consid-
cradle skirmishing to get one for his
business.

problems for the British higher
command. The difficulty Is met by
means Of q growth OF standard
gauge railway line which brings
sea sand and rock ballast into Flan-

branches break into spurs, the
spurs into systems of sidings and
the sidings interlocked with an
enormous ever-extending system of
light railways. The sand and rock

standard railways to the light lines.
Is dumped at the ultimate rail heads
to build causeways of road or rail

New Vessel Wrecked on Top Of Old
One. ..

By a strange coincidence, the new
100000 oil tanker which recently
came to grief on the breakwater at
Tampico, Mexico. was wrecked square
ly on the top OF another steamer that
was lost on the same spot several
years ago. So exactly was the new
vessel placed over the other that its
-boiler-room was pierced by the boil
er-room Of the older craft. The wreck
occurred when the captain. unable to
obtain local pilot on account of the
storm, attempted to enter port on his
own calculations. The disaster serves
to emphasize the danger Of dispens-
ing with the service of local pilot
when entering a harbor.
