women. which, after a brief period OF
operation, was taken over by the Pan
anna government as an institution
worthy Of its support.

country and the rights which she should
have under its government" Miss Con-

United States. who have a lively APP
probation of their duties and rights, and
the women of my own country"

plans to enter George Washington Uni

which was based entirely on excerpts
from Panama laws directed against
women. was used to obtain improved
legislation for women in Panama, she
said.

ARMY UNIT REACHES.
MARLBORO B|vOUAC.
Move Demonstrates Ability to
Mobilize Troops Quickly
for Offensive.
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY,

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, July IL
A mighty armada of machinery, carry
ing large death-dealing instruments of
war, alter the 42-niile trip over the
Maryland roads moved into this little
village shortly after | pm. today.
This gigantic force, an experimental
outfit of the Army. quickly assembled.
will biyouac tonight on the State fair
grounds.
There were in the long train, which
took nearly two hours to pass a given
point. cars and trucks of all descrip-
tons. together with small tanks. The
motor equipment lis being designed par
ticularly for the movement of troops
and their heavy impedimenta quickly
across country IN time OF emergency.
Davis Reviews Force.
Secretary of War Davis and Mai Gen.
Summerall. chief of staff of the Army,
together with scores of officers from the
War Department, met and reviewed the
force early today at the junction OF the
Crane and Defense Highways. in the
vicinity of Priests Bridge across the
Patuxent River
There was considerable break In
the long caravan between the first two
sections and the third section. the lat
ter being the trucks carrying the guns
of the 9Th Field Artillery, the heavy
tanks and the tractors. The loads on
these machines were so heavy that the
caravan had TO be stopped several times
for reoiling
While the advance guard OF Ergi-
neers has strengthened the two bridges
leading into the town from the east, il
was deemed wise to unload the tractors
and move them across the bridges on
their own power.
Shows Army Ability.
The equipment used in this march,
much of II, was left over from the
World War and Is 10 or more years old.
The performance of the motor equip
ment is tribute not only to American
engine building, but to the ability OF
the Army to maintain 1t in such excel
lent condition as 1t appeared ON the
roadside today.
The chow wagons cooked the food
for the troops while they were rolling
along the state highways and within
a few minutes after the arrival IN
camp full dinner was being served
Although in an experimental stage
the move today showed clearly the
ability of the Army, by aid of mechan-
ICED power. to move unit of great
mobility and great striking power
against an opposing force. However.
the officers of the War Department
charged with the duty of developing
this force point out that while Ii is
great offensive implement IL had little
TO commend 1t for defensive purposes.
