When Uncle Sans armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
comprised q force Of roughly 15O,ooo
trained drivers of mOtOrtrucks, cars
and motorcycles.
OF this great force, only about han
were trained drivers when they en-
listed for the service, so 1t was neces-
sary in order to have this force OF
men to train $4,000 men to drive auto
motive vehicles.
The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains and casual mo-
torized units which first went over
seas were composed Of trained driy-
ers. as a rule. Those who came after
were the men who did not know cars,
engines, or any of the problems OF
driving, particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion of the ROADS
to the fighting zone in France. The
men who came in the second great
rush Of men for the army had there

then to know the problems of driving
in formation on military roads.
Big Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
ing of the mechanism of the truck
engine-I say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training of driving in military forna-
tons of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war Is over the prob
lem of teaching the mechanism of the
machine is by far the more important
to the commercial truck operator. As
to the military formation required in
the army, this can be disposed of
quickly.
On the Mexican border, and with
the Pershing expedition into Mexico,
he problem of mass operations with
trucks was Of minor Importance. The
drivers went forward with some SEM
blance OF military formation, with
certain distances between trucks, and

Into the midst of all this ruction
Senator Knox projected his plan to
compel the separation Of the league
of nations covenant and the peace
treaty and thus to permit their sep
arate consideration by the senate. His
resolution, as reported to the senate
by the foreign relations committee,
would virtually serve notice on the
peace conference that unless 1t d.
vorces the two documents the senate
will do 1t. The plan of the opposition
leaders is to ratify the terms OF peace
with Germany without delay and to
subject the league covenant to extend
ed elaboration and possibly to ma
tiOnal referendum. This, of course,
opens up the real fight on the league
of nations and stormy and long de-
bate is expected. Senators who had
not intended to speak on the league
until the pact was formally presented
for ratification are now hastily pre-
pairing their addresses. The support
ers of the league said they would
make hard fight to prevent vote
on the Knox resolution until after the
peace treaty has been signed by the
Germans.

The signing of the treaty, or the re-
fusal to sign it, will not be long de-
layed now. The reply of the allies to
the German contemporaries was
handed to the Hun delegates and they
were told their final decision must be
made within five days, or by June 10.
Several relatively small concessions
were made by the council of four. 1t
agreed to plebiscite in Upper SilesLa,
subject to certain clearly defined con-
ditions. While refusing to fix the def
mite sum Germany must pay, it re-
quires the PREPARATIONS commission to
do this within four months of the sign
ing of the treaty. In most other re-
spects the pact was left unchanged,
but explanations were added to meet
the objection that the financial COM
mission was vexatious, inquisitorial
and infringed Germany's rights to con
duct her own financial affairs. Ger
many's request for a mandate for her
former colonies was refused, and it
was understood that her demand for
immediate admission TO the league of
nations met a like fate, owing mainly
to the strenuous objection Of Clemen-
ceau.
