During Lieutenant Doran's stay in

was secured:
For several years the Lincoln High

now taking place over the Lincoln
Highway from Washington to San

training policy of injecting the army

The big train of y vehicles. 250
men and 80 officers has received a
tremendous ovation enronte. The city
of Pittsburg tied up its traffic for six

accompanied the train as far as Salt

plans expects to meet the convoy in
Carson City. Lieutenant Doron states
he has been in touch with Austin F.

so meet the train here. The train is
preceded by the official car carrying
II. C. Ostermann, the field secretary of
the Lincoln Highway association This
car usually travels in the immediate
vicinity of the train itself
But those really entitled to credit
for what is actually a tremendous feat
in the final arrival of the train from
Washington are the nervy truck
drivers who are daily demonstrating
the quality of the young men in the
army today and the wisdom employed
by the motor transport corps and the
war department in the careful selec-
ton of the flower of that branch of
the army to put the big army train
across from ocean to ocean. Daily
they alternately drive and dig and dig
and drive under a blazing hot sun with
nothing on their minds but to put the
big train through to San Francisco in
the best of shape. These men are
making history. This is the first time
the war department has ever put an
army truck train through the Conti-
mental divide and the Sierra Nevada
range Of mountains. 1t is as though
to these men sleeping beside the
big trucks with motors scarcely
cool from the days journey that the
ghosts of the drivers of the many cara
vans which took the same route in the
long ago in the quest of what the west
had to offer must rise from the grave
and acclaim the feats being accom-
plished by the army men who will
arrive in Carson Tomorrow (Satur-
day.
