The information collected shows
considerable differences in the plans
adopted by the average inexperienced
operator. The word "inexperienced"
is used advisedly in view OF the fact
that the motor truck is q comparative

Scotland, with it's picturesque peo-
pie, its quaint villages and wonder
full old castles, has been the mecca
of tourists for many years. During
the past two years Edinburgh, Dun
feminine. Glasgow, and other cities
of Scotland have seen much of the

side of the channel, mountains of
slate-colored rock rise up obscuring
all but the heavens overhead Far
ahead can be seen the Firth of Forth
bridge, one Of the largest in the
world, and beyond in the mist. the
towers of Edinburgh Castle. Here
it was that the German Fleet met
the outposts of the American and
British Fleets and forever rescinded
its vainglorious challenge for the
naval supremacy of the world. No
setting could be more fitting for the
final act in the great drama of a navy
that lost its soul.
American sailormen have been i'm
pressed with the courteous treatment
accorded them by the people of this
rugged country. Whenever an Ameri-
can warship is in the bay at Rosytn
the citizens of Edinburgh act as hosts
to the bluejackets and the city takes
on gala attire in honor Of its American
guests. Edinburgh, the capital OF
Scotland, is an important center of
learning, and is disting uished for the
number and excellence of its literary,
scientific and educational institutions.
