corps simply because it had become
too big and too important to be a
branch of anything else.
The Importance of the motor SER
vice abroad is growing daily by
reason of the fact that Germany is
almost out of trucks and cars. She
hasn't the materials to build them.
In this war of maneuver, she is,
therefore, dependent more and more
upon hastily constructed narrow
gauge railroads. The advantage to the
allies of first class motor service
is self-evident.
The vehicles which the motor
transport service uses include trucks,
passenger cars, motorcycles, ambu-
lances and bicycles. The tanks and
caterpillars are in Corps OF their own.
1t should be added that this new
born service is a child of great vigor
and spirit. 1t is determined to Guido
every other service in efficiency and
fighting spirit. Its members bubble
over with notices and slogans. "Get
there on time, or die on the way is
one of them. For any man to desert
his vehicle without orders is 4 crime
unforgivable. Don't give up the
truck is the modern version Of Cap
tain Lawrence's famous command.

which s6ss,285.O00 was income and
excess profits taxes, or 20 per cent of

1918 were 10 times greater than in
