OVERLAND HAULING
FOR TRUCKS URGED
Writer Believes Motors May
Best Be Employed in
That Field.

In an interesting article in Motor
there is discussion of the future of
the motor truck. which the author
holds to be the overland hauling field,
rather than handling the local traffic
of the cities.
In spite of its gratifying progress
in general favor and understanding"
says this writer. the motor truck
is STILL comparatively speaking. SO
new to it's position as a recognized
transportation medium that there is
danger OF it's sphere of future useful
ness being misunderstood and mis-
calculated.
Such ar error. we believe, has al
ready risen in many quarters with
| respect to the future for trucks. The
ajority of commentators on the de-
velopment of the motor truck indus
| try have always assumed that the
great field fer this utility vehicle
would always remain in the city with
its manufactures and its comprehen-
sive system of distribution.
Discusses Short Freight Hauls.
Now the fact of the matter is that
the real future of the motor truck
lies in the short-haul freight field. In
evitably the truck will continue it's
magnificent work in it's familiar field
of city activity. but it is demonstrat-
able that many times more trucks will
be sold for overland work than for
urban service.
Official figures of the secretary of
states Office show that there are
grees in the city of New York at the
present time. In addition there are
approximately 100000 horses. Be
tween them, the trucks and the
service of supply SO to speak. of
the metropolis.
What Experience Has Shown.
Experience has shown that motor
truck will do the work Of four horses
and ;S;cepting this estimate, $4,000
the intramural transportation needs
of New York city, eliminating the
horses altogether. This would give
US 1000 motor n. noo trucks don r. to serve a
arrived at a factor. which may be
applied to the rest of the cities. CIV
ing us an approximate idea of just
how many motor trucks can be alb
sorbed in useful work in the urban
centers.
Figures compiled by the United
| States census bureau tell US that the
urban population of the country num-
DerS 4Z,UUU,UUU. OTDdn III tHlS sense
| includes a large population that we
do not regard as city jewellers, but
! let it pass, it simply makes our esti-
| mate more conservative
Adequate for 5000, 900 People.
"If the $4,000 motor trucks are
| adequate to serve 100000 people in
| New York, 1t is a simple sum in null
DUPLICATION to find that 100000 trucks
! will serve the entire urban popula-
| ton of the country sAnd that may
| be accepted as representing the ap-
| proximate saturation point for motor
| trucks in the cities of America
The authors conclusion is that it
behooves the motor truck builders of
America to get behind the good roads
movement and hasten the day when
general overland freight hauling by
motor truck is an accomplished fact

and there found a battalion of French
troops and the Colonel Of the sector.
He realized the desperate straits the
French troops were in and his mute
appeal, as he gazed questioningly into
my eyes, was a prayer that the Ameri-
cans might show the stun OF men and
hold fast against the awful tide that
threatened to engulf all that life held
dear to him.
On that first night two companies Of
engineers, which had been sent to us
by Gen. Bundy from Division Head
quarters, reported to me. Their off,
GERS found me in my temporary quar-
tiers in corner Of the woods at 8
A. M. They were OF great assistance
to us In preparing our positions, both
then and later. In the line the men
made themselves as comfortable as
they could for the night and Toasted
on bread and bacon.
The Ninth Regiment. as have said.
was given a position on our right at
the Metz to Paris road. On our left
was a regiment of French troops.
The Twenty-third Infantry arrived
late and so was sent in at the left Of
the French, though later they moved
over.

the night Of June I, waiting for the
morrow.

ions appeared. Then the orders were
changed to 10 o'clock. Night fell, and
still no camions. 1t was not until 4
o'clock on the morning Of the 3lst
that the first cannon arrived. They
were big, powerful motor trucks, these
camions, all French machines, with
seats at the sides and with canvas
covers like those OF prairie schooners.
They came I'm e1nvoys Of fifty or 50
for each battalion. and they were
quickly loaded. About thirty men
were packed into each cannon, each
man with his rife and sixty pound
pack. At $3.50 they started. The
marines were taken by battalions as
they came, the first to go being bat
talon of the Fifth under Lieut.. Col.
Wise.
There was a French officer In
charge OF each battalion. He rode
. in an automobile ana took the battal-
ion officers with him. waited until
the last squad of the Sixth had started
and then followed in my own car. For
the entire division there was a steady
stream of motor trucks pouring out
from that region from $3.50 till nearly
10 A. NJ.
We were some seventy-five mile,
from our destination and many 81

that. On the whole the roads vera

Incidents Most Of those camions had
been working for seventy-two hours
at a stretch carrying troops and the
drivers were worn out. Some or
them fell asleep at their wheels and
several ran OFF the road into the ditch.
AS TO our men, they were fresh ana
eager after their night on the hard
ground. We skirted Paris, about nine

through pretty villages. in many oil

After leaving MeauX I overlook a

CHAPTER VI.
CARRYING on.

r ESTABLISHED my first post Of
command in corner of the
woods near Lucy-le- Bocage. but
this soon proved TO be too exposed a
position, as German shells began TO
burst in the neighborhood. and on June
| moved my L. c. over to La Vote du
Chatel. a little village west of Lucy
and south of Champion.
Here I established headquarters in
an old stone house. and from here I
had an excellent view OF the battle
ground. Later on, however. when the
line was shortened I moved again still
further south to the wooded cover OF
Mont Blanche. and Col. Neville of the
Fifth moved to my old =. q
When Major Holcomb first went In
he took quarters in an old stone farm
house not far from his part of the
line: but a shell hit that farmhouse
early in the game and killed five men,
and Holcomb took to the woods for
greater security.
On June 2, after n night that could
not have been entirely restful. our men
awoke to the realization that the
French were filtering through. The
Germans kept up their steady push
and the French continued to fall back
1t became more and more clearly evil
dent that we had come not a moment
too soon and that we had been cast for
a role at the centre OF a seething stage.
There could be no doubt of the fact
that the United States Marines must
build a dixie against that onsweeping
flood OF destruction. or nobody would.
All that day we waited for the crash
which did not come until late after
noon. Fatigue and hunger were for
gotten in the excitement of the mo-
ment, and when the crash came the
marines were ready.
The attack was launched against the
French. who had remained in front Of
Wise's battalion OF the Fifth at Hill
1876. It started about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon and came from the north
and northeast. II was a beautiful,
clear day. and from my post Of obser-
walton at La Vote du Chatel I could
watch the whole OF It.
Peoples Like Blood spIashes.
The Germans swept down an open
slope In platoon waves. across wide
wheat fields bright with poppies that
gleam.d like splashes of blood in the
afternoon sun. The French met the
attack and then fell steadily back.
First saw the French coming back
through the wheat. fighting as they
came. Then the Germans, in two
columns, steady as machines. To mo as
military man 1t was a beautiful
sight. I could not but admire the
precision and steadiness of those

But they were not irresistible. Back

not reckoned on, force as steady

Campaign for Roosevelt Mem.
Orial October Goth to 9th

Sam Nicholson has appointed j.
L. Davis chairman of the Roose-
welt Memorial association for
Gilpin county. Five million dol
lars will be raised thruout the
country and Gilpin county's quota
is only $4,000, and there will be
no trouble in raising that sum
here as the great American had
numerous admirers among all
classes in Gilpin county.
The Roosevelt Memorial asso-
citation is looking beyond the col
lection of a fund of $5,000,00O for
the erection of monument to
Colonel Roosevelt in Washington
and the creation of a park at Oy-
ster Bay. The greatest task of the
association is to preserve for all
the people of the United States
the inspiration that famed in the
heart of Theodore Roosevelt and
guided his craftsmanship. Unless
the movement for the creation of
Roosevelt memorials kindles in
the souls of his fellow Americans
greater devotion, more loyalty
and deeper faith, it will have ac-
complished only a small part of
what it was intended to do. Not
only among the native but also the
foreign-born American citizens
must this patriotic feeling be fos-
tered.
