By the Associated Press.
Roads of Texas over n radius OF

activity today as four columns OF

iary forces Of tanks and field guns
plowed their way toward Maria for

of field artillery. with both its guns
and caissons and it's tractors which
will haul the guns in the mimic war
fare ahead mounted on trucks, and
westward from San Antonio, a pla
toon of six,ton tanks.
The units are scheduled to reach
Maria hv Monday and it is estimated
that they will have covered more than
3 900 miles before they return to their
posts.
Transport System Studied.
The maneuvers were specially de-
signed 10 test motorized transport and
the use of tanks and tractor artillery
with cavalry forces in action and for
long distances. This phase Of postwar
military development has been occu.
pying all the great powers to large
extent for the last several years.
The experiment with the tank unit
attached to mounted forces is part of
an effort to develop swift moving
tank for that special purpose The
tanks in their trucks are being moved
42a miles to reach the maneuver
grounds and because of their heavy
weight. bridges along the way are
being strengthened by advance En-.
gineer detachments.
The motorized battery from Fort
Sill is what is known as the "Portee''
type. There are no horses in the unit
In addition TO these forces. the 18th
Observation Aviation Squadron and
two Photographic units will par
ticipate in the maneuvers.
New Rifles Tested.
Another phase of the Army's testing
of its equipment has heen the conduct
ing of comparative tests of three types
of Semi,automatlc shoulder rifles de-
veloped for the Army since the war
and of the standard Springfield maga.
zine rifle with which all American
troops are equipped within the last
few days al Camp Meade. Md. The
tests were watched by the chiefs of
the Ordnance. Infantry and Cavalry
departments in Washington.
The purpose of the tests was to de-
termine whether the semi-automatic
guns were invariably faster in de-
livering aimed shots than the Regular
Army rifle. Results have not been
disclosed, but Army officers generally
anticipate that the semi-automatic
eventually will virtually displace the
ma gazine rife.
