Lieut.. Col Charles W. Mcclure. now
in command OF the train, has been
engaged in army transport work since
1905, at which time the transport sys-
tenn was made up of prairie schooners
drawn by mules.
Trucks Were Practicable.
The necessity for rapid transporta-
ton and the great mortality among
horses and mules on the French front
made the truck the only practicable
vehicle for army transportation pur-
poses, with the result that the motor
transport corps easily became one of
the principal factors which enabled
the army to play its part in the win
ming of the war.
Today the motor transport has be-
come one of the permanent divisions
Of the army. A great proportion of
our troops on the battle line were
transported by truck. Had II been
necessary to depend on the French
railroads long delays would have oc-

Colonel Mcclure Is an officer of
fighting experience in three wars,
having participated in various Philip
pine campaigns and in the trouble az
Vera Cruz. During the present wa
he served in the Vosges, where some
OF the hottest actions of the war took
place. He also participated in the
ATgonne offensive, where the motor
transport corps proved itself a factor
in Fastening the close OF the war.

Among the many interesting let

employees. now soldiers in France, is
one that has just come from a Good

This stately castle was built in the
fourteenth century and is noted as
the place where the famous BLUE .

MILE STONE MARKS

A great many people are extreme

It is an initial step in what is des-

factor in this coUntry's history! the
making Of a chain of National High

the cost Of living than any other
means yet dreamed Of.

Inadequate highways are one Of the

the motor truck has passed the ex-

fore it can attain its fullest useful
ness, the highways must be improved.

A KNOTTY FAMILY TREE

When Christian, King of Denmark,
was laid away to rest,
His eldest son, Prince friedrich,
took up the royal crest,
His second son, Prince Villa n, out
looking for piece
OF royal territory, was made the
King of Greece.
And Edward, King of England, took
to dreaming of
Christians eldest daughter, whom he
made his lady love.
Then Christians second daughter
met the Russian Car
And put the Russian Coat of Arms
upon the motor car.
Now Fred, the heir of Christian, has
gone to parts unknown
And left another Christian in pos
session of the throne.
The present. King of England, the
present King of Greece
And Russian Gear are cousins, will
wonders never cease
Now bring the King of Norway and
Denmark in the fold,
We have a family circle from one
royal mould.
Now we hear from Germany, a Kais-
er there was picked
For England's fairest daughter,
Her Highness Princess "Vict."
So we find proud William, war lord
of Germany, r..
A cousin of the English King he
fights so bitterly.
The Kaiser, King of England,
Queen of Norway, Queen of
Greece,
Are a family circle, yet we never
hear of peace.
The Queen of Spain and Russian
Empress, totals of the six
Grand Children of Victoria, whose
blood don't seem to mix.
If l am in error in that statement,
tell me, pray,
Why is it we find no peace in Europe
of today?
| have come to this conclusion,
through reading history,
That Christian was the root Of a
knotty family tree.

AUDUBON MAN HAS ONE
REASON LEFT FOR LIVING

When a citizen of Audubon was

WON'T 1T BE AWFUL?

Internal revenue collectors are
making a vigorous effort to rectify
methods in vogue that prevent the
government from getting its full
share of war taxes. For instance
the practice of admitting girls free
at public dances must stop. In the
past men have paid an admittance
fee but young women have been adj
mitted free. Government officials
state that the tax on amusements adj
mits of no free admissions. Even
complimentary tickets for shows must
pay the revenue tax. Land sales
where the consideration is given in
the deed at 81 will no longer be

THE ARMY's RESPONSIBILITY

"The strike is lost" says one of
the labor leaders at Gary, "and the
army is responsible"
The responsibility of the army is
not merely for the defeat of the
strike. That is minor matter.
There are other deeds for which the
army is responsible which are Of
UNNECESSARILY greater Importance.
One is the maintenance of law and
order and the protection of property
and life, to a degree which every
thoughtful man must realize would
have been beyond reasonable expec-
tation without it. We shave only
to recall memories of the appalling
incidents of former strikes, in which
passions were not as high nor condi-
tions as ominous as in this one, to
appreciate from what the army is
responsible for having saved us.
Another is the vindication of the
"open shop" meaning the right of
free American citizens to work
when and where they will, subject
only to mutual agreement between
themselves and their employers,
without dictation of any outside
third party and without being com
PEELED to pay, as condition of earn
ing living, tribute to some organ
ization not of their own choosing.
For this, too, the army is doubtless
responsible"
A third responsibility" of the ar
my of the United States is for the
detection, uncovering and thwarting
of a reasonable conspiracy gainst
the government and against the in
tegrity of the republic itself. An
army officer has officially reported to
congress the discovery of an extern
sive propaganda at Gary and else
where, directed by Germans and
Russian Bolshevists, the purpose of
which was to foment resistance to
and violation of the law and the Ill
innate overthrow of the American
government; in a word, anarchism.
For this it is to be cheerfully ad-
mitted that the army is RESPONSE
BILE"
Months ago." testified an army
officer who knew whereof he spoke,
IAN attempt was made to organize
the Russian Red Guard in Gary.
When the strike came II was to be
the Communist or Red army"
WAS that for the forceful over
throw of the government" asked
Senator Hoke Smith.
Eyes, sir; that and that alone"
The army is indeed responsible.
1t is a responsibility which it is
proud to bear, and for its bearing
and execution of which the Ameri-
can people are profoundly grateful.
Thank God for the American ar
my; and for General Leonard Wood!

The city favors school lunches. and
