MOTOR TRUCKS
MEET PREJUD|CE
Mack Officials Discuss
Salient Factors in the
Motor Trade.

There is developing a certain
prejudice against motor trucks on the
highway, based on the charge that
truck drivers are disposed of hog
the road" says c. ]. Westcott man
ager Westcott Sales company. in
view of this fact we have urged all
owners and operators of DENLY trucks
to endeavor to show highway cour-
tesy. Our investigation has demon
strated that in some instances motor
truck drivers are disposed to take
more of the road than they really
need and the opprobrium that they
receive from passenger car operators
frequently is deserved.
I'VE are urging DENLY truck oper-
ators to keep to their half of the
road and. not crowd lighter vehicles.
We also are calling upon them to
make certain they give the proper
traffic signals and that when they use
bodies on their trucks of such con-
struction that the ordinary signal can
not be seen from the rear, that they
equip their trucks with some sort
of signaling device. We even advo-
cate operators of trucks going to ex-
tremes if necessary and in every in
stance give passenger car drivers the
benefit of doubt
There are some points in this con-
nection that passenger car drivers do
not always appreciate. Often we
hear passenger car drivers complain
that they have sounded their horn
repeatedly without truck drivers pay
ing any. attention. If the automobile
driver were to mount the cab of a
motor truck and try it for himself,
he soon would understand that be-
cause of the truck noises it is much
more difficult to hear the average
passenger car horn than it is when
driving passenger car. There are
comparatively few passenger car
horns sufficiently powerful to pene-
trate the noises of street and high
way traffic.
1--WE suggest more of the spirit OF
fair play be shown oa the part OF
the passenger car operator in his at
titude toward the truck, and truck
drivers in relation to passenger cars

Few Valuable Ideas Obtained by
Study of U-Boats, Say Experts

Examination of the surface vessels
surrendered by Germany and brought
to the United States recently is now
in progress. Other German vessels of
all classes had been previously in
spected carefully by American officers
abroad and officials at the department
declared that they did not expect the
inspection of the cruiser Osfriesland
and the destroyers allotted to this
country to develop any important new
construction methods in the American
navy.
In one respect the German ships
won the praise of many officers at the
department. This was the use of solid
water-tight bulkheads between subdi-
visions of the hulls below decks. No
doors for communication below were
found in the German ships, the mem
bers OF the crew being forced TO go
up and over" to move from one COM
partment to another.
1t was this construction that kept
German vessels in the fight at the
Battle of Jutland after they had been
punished severely by British fire, Of
ficers said. The idea has been advo-
Detailed examination of surrendered
German U-boats built during the war
has produced nothing to forecast i'm
portant changes in American subma-
rines, officers at the navy department
assert. After careful study of the Ger
man craft and thorough test in the
long cruise across the Atlantic, Amer
lean experts have found only a few
unimportant details worthy of incor
porating in new American undersea
craft.
In periscopes and optical fittings
the German boats were superior to pre-
war American submersibles, it was
admitted. Periscopes on new navy
submarines, however, are superior to
the best similar fittings found on the
captured vessels, it was said.
The engine equipment Of the Ger
man boats was praised by American
officers, but it was declared that the
mechanical parts of the enemy craft
were in no respect superior to those
already in use in the United tSates
navy. In many. points, particularly
that of mechanical simplicity, roomi-
ness and comfort for the crew, the
American boats are regarded as SUI
perior to the German craft.
Gated by a school of American naval
officers for years, and has been adopt
ed in the newer vessels to the eX-
tent of placing solid bulkheads be-
tween firerooms.
Opponents of the solid bulkhead
theory declare ease and rapidity OF
communication below decks to be
more valuable than elaborate precau-
tons to prevent the passage of water
from one compartment to another in
the event of hits below the waterline.
A feature of the German ships that
somewhat surprised American officers
was the lack of provisions for the
comfort of the crews. Officers quart
ers were found to be about on a par
with those in the American navy, but
little attention has been paid to the
enlisted men. The larger ships had
cooking accommodations for but
small part of the battle crew, it was
said and il was believed that the ShiDs

MARKETS OF NEAR EASTERN COUNTRIES |
OPENED TO UNITED STATES BY WORlD WAR

The rapidly increasing Importance
OF the Near East as factor in world
trade calls for thorough considera-
ton of that field by American foreign
traders if this country is to share in
developing the enormous resources of
the Near Eastern countries, according
, to the current issue of american
Goods and Foreign Markets" The flu
ture possibilities of trade with the
Near East are of vast proportions, the
bulletin says. Merchants there are
ready to put in lines Of American
goods, rail and water transportation
, has been improved, and financial ia
cilities for the handling of American
business have become available.
Before the war merchandise from
the United States was a negligible
factor in the business life of Constan-
tlnople, and vessel flying the Stars
and Stripes was a rare sight Today
American liners are in the Golden
Horn at al times, besides steamers
which make monthly stops on their
way to and from Batoum and tramp
steamers which make irregular visits
dozen important American corpora
tons already have established per
manent offices in Cmstantinoplc. and
many other concerns are represented
by local agents.
1t cannot be toe s-rong-y emphasize
ed that if the United States is to OBJ
tain her share of the growing trade
in the Near East. she must establish
herself in that part of the world now
while the opport unity is available.
A large number of British traders
are already on the ground, and no eff
fort is being spared TO strengthen the
Kingdoms trade position. There are
British military forces in many cities,
messengers of peace and security for
those oppressed communities, which
are building up strong proBritish
sentiment. and which assuredly will
exert an important influence in favor
of British trade. Also, it must not be
overlooked that Germany will make
strong efforts to regain her former
trade in these counties as soon as she
is equipped to expand.
The harbor of Constantinople gives
that city pre-eminence as center of
water transportation in the Near East.

AMERICAN EXPLOSIVES
AMMUNITION and GAS
USED IN GREAT WAR

When was was declared the United
States had sufficient light artillery to
equip an army of 100000 men, and
shortly found itself confronted with
the problem of preparing to equip
100000 men
To meet the situation it was decid-
ed in June, 1917, to allot our guns to
training purposes and to equip our
forces in France with artillery con-
forming to the French and British
standard calibers.
1t was arranged that we should pur-
chase from the French and British
the artillery needed for our first d.
visions and ship them in return equiv
alent amounts of steel, copper, and
other raw materials so that they could
either manufacture guns for us in
their own factories or give us guns
out of their stocks and replace them
by new ones made from our mate
rails.
America Produces Gun.
Up to the end of April. 1919, the
number of complete artillery units
produced in American plants was
more than 5000 or equal to all those
purchased from the French and Brit
ish during the war.
The number of rounds of complete
artillery ammunition produced in
American plants was in excess of 90
o000 900, as compared with 100000
rounds secured from the French and
British.
In the first 20 months after the
declaration of war by each country
the British did better than we in the
production of light artillery, and we
excelled them in producing heavy ar
tillery and both light and heavy am
munition.
Use American Powder.
So far as the allies were concerned,
the European war was in large meas
ure fought with American powder and
high explosives.
At the end of the war American pro-
duction OF smokeless powder was 45
percent greater than the French and
British production combined.
At the end of the war the Ameri-
can production of high explosives was
40 percent greater than Great Brit
aims and nearly double that Of France.
Sell Gas to Allies.
During the war America produced
10000 tons of gas, much of which was
sold to the French and British.
Out CT every 100 days that our COM
bat divisions were in line in France
they were supported by their own ar
tillery for rs days, by British artillery
for five days, and by French for one
and a half days. OF the remaining
eighteen and a half days that they
were in line without artillery, eigh-
teen days were in quiet sectors, and
one-half of one day in each hundred
was in active sectors.
In round numbers, we had in France
$500 pieces of artillery, of which
nearly SEQ were made in America.
and we used on the firing line 2,250
pieces, Of which over 100 were made
in America.

were constructed on the theory that
any engagement they participated in
would be within a short distance Of
the home part, probably in the North
Sea, as the bunk capacities were very
limited.
During periods of inaction the men
were housed ashore in barracks, and
during periods at sea of any duration
they were poorly supplied with hot
food. Contrasted with the elaborate
galleys and bakeries on American
ships, with provisions for long cruises
al sea away from supply bases, the
German craft were primitive, it was
said.
The final disposition to be made OF
the German vessels has not been de-
cided They either will be broken up
a navy yards or used as targets for
the fleets.
