Army Finds Use
For Motor Trucks
In Hauling Stuff

Washington. April 27.-~Indepeudeu
Of railroad transportation. the motors
division Of thu quartermasters corps
of the army is now operating truck
trains in all sections of the country.
These trains are composed OF the sue,
cessful new standardized army truck.
known as Truck b AS rapidly as
the trucks are turned out at the va
rtous factories manufacturing them.
they are turned over 70 units Of the
motors division for delivery. The in
spectinC officer az the plant notifies
the commanding officer OF the camp
ar cantonment to which the trucks
are consigned and he sends detach-
menf of officers and men to receive
the trucks and deliver them
BY This system the army is not only
saving time and transportation costs.
but It is training men and putting
new trucks into working condition
simultaneously.
ON a recent test run from Lima. o,
10 Baltimore. a detachment OF forty
five men from Camp Meade and Camp
Dcvens were sent to bring twenty
trucks across the country. Not one
man in the detachment had ever seen
ono Of the new trucks Nor had the
trucks been taken over the road
The observers detailed bv the war
department gave the men no instruc-
lions. The idea WAS to see how
detachment of American soldiers of
the national army would handle the
new trucks delivered At a port in
France for immediate use in actual
warfare.
The experiment worked like
charm. The first day out the men
We're cautious and the trucks We're
stif owing to tight assem- bling. AZ
ter the first day everything went
smoothly. No accidents occurred that
were not easily remedied with
monkey wrench The observers would
allow no spare parts to be carried
They were not needed
The soldiers carried their own bed
ding, rations and a camp cook stove.
At the end Of each days run they
camped al the road side The record
OF men and trucks was practically
perfect. Since then. truck trains have
been leaving the various factories at
which the trucks are made every day.
Each detachment OF soldiers sent from
camp to the factories to receive the
trucks Is equppFd for field service
The training the men and officers are
thus receiving Is invaluable. one trip
of several hundred miles over the
road where they are called upon to
face all manner of road and weather
conditions is rapidly making veteran
soldiers OF men who put. on the uni
form only few months ago, as well
As demonstratipg the working uuali--
ties 'of the truck, ny the time these
mon reach France there will be moth
ing about Truck IS that they will
not he thoroughly familiar with. The
officers az learning how TO take care
of their men and the men are learn
ing every detail of their work. II is
estimated. also. that by overland de-
livery thousands of dollars are being
saved the government in railroad

GREAT BRITAIN
 RELAXES CONTROL

London. Dec. 5.-((British Wireless Service. )--Dr. Christopher Addison, Minister of Reconstruction. announc- ed today that the situation as re- gards the supply of materials to manufacturers is such that domestic control can now be considerably re- faxed. Orders have already been issued enabling manufacturers and others to utilize for their ordinary civil trade existing stocks of a num- ber of raw materials heretofore con- trolled and the ration of material allowed to trades for peace works has in many instances been largely increased
 Restrictions of imports and exports have already been relaxed in certain directions, and further concessions of a more comprehensive character arc in contemplation.
 First importance in national inter- ests, says the minister, is the utili- zation of the producing capacity i'll such a manner as to provide for the e-establishment at the earliest possible moment of the industries and shipping of the United Kingdom in order to secure maximum of em- ployment and output. Adequate pro- vision should also be made for the full discharge of the obligations of Great Britain to it's allies. particul- arly in regard to the reconstruction of their devastated areas. :,

Lowry. camp morale of- ficer at Camp Travis, Texas, Dr. Ira Landrith, noted educator and late candidate for Vice President of the United States. has been delivering se- vereal addresses each day to Camp Travis men.
