French Army Motor Transport War Wonder

~ URING the month OF August,
1914, the French army moved
$4,000 men by automobile,
During a certain month OF last sum-
mer, taken at random, 1t carried l.
100000 men from place to place behind
tho lines.
When the war broke out the French
army had between 5000 and 1000 au-
tomobiles; to-day 1t has $4,000.
The total load carried by French
automobiles during the war equalled
the capacity OF $4,000 trains of forty
French freight cars each.
There in the briefest outline is the
story Of the education Of the world to
the possibilities of the motor truck,
for the experience of France, of course,
is typical of the experience of the
other allies--and OF Germany as well,
for that matter.

the French name for what corresponds
to our Motor Transport Corps, was Or

but what an awakening was in store

Galerie Georges Petit by the Arts I'm
ion. There were 155 OF these insignia,
visional mark our men wear on their
left shoulders, on view out of the 500
which are OF official record In the
French General Headquarters. In them
the Frenchman found an opportunity
for display OF a lively wit and his in
herent artistry.
Particularly effective was an owl in
flight against a moon; another was the
cleverly done silhouette OF a cab OF
the might hawk" type; there was the
face of a poilu In blue and brown

mander was one Saint-Chaffray, which
sounds enough like "Singe AffreuX" TO
make the impudent pun.
The French. while they carried spe-
cialization to its limit OF proper de-
volopment, yet refused to let 1t run
away with them. For instance, they
refused to assign touring car to the
exclusive use of one officer. Instead
seven were assigned to each divisional

the capacity of such a unit was suf-

like many things obvious in hindsight,

work in a month as mixed unit,

In the end. as Paul Heuze remarked

COMMUNITY INTERESTS
DISCUSSED BY CLUB
A. D. Wilson Addressed Commercial
Club Members on Community
Cooperation

An important meeting of the Nor
ris Commercial Club was held Friday
evening of last week and large ma
jority of the 81 members were pres
ent. Among the things discussed was
community cooperation, and A. D.
Wilson Of the University Extension
Department, was present and gave a
splendid talk along thise line. His
remarks are covered in another place
ing. After listening to Mr.. Wilson,
the members of the club felt that
something should be done to bring
the town people and farmers Of this
community closer together. There is
no ill-feeling between the town and
pie in the country and the people in
town do not get together as often as
they should and are not as we'll ac-
quainted with each other as they
should be. This matter will be taken
up by the club in the future and at
the next meeting many of the repre-
sentative farmers of the vicinity will
be invited to meet with the club and
spend the evening at the club rooms
in talking over these propositions and
in getting better acquainted.
Other business taken up by the
club at this meeting was as follows
Minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved. The membership
committee made a report and sub
mitted new names for membership.
There we're 81 members when this
meeting was held, but more have
been added since.
The Memorial Committee reported
thru it's chairman, F. A. Hancock,
that progress was being made and
that an organization for the purpose
of raising the necessary funds was
being effected. The committee is con-
sidering two propositions for the
memorial, first, an appropriate build
ing and second a monument.
There was no report from the
Fargo-St. Paul Trail Committee nor
the express Office committee, but 1t
was reported that rumors we're about
to the effect that the Great Northern
train No. 4, would be run over this
division again in the near future.
