S. INFANTRY
TAKING To
MOTORS

Motorization Of Infantry Is be-
ng effected generally at this time
IN the armies Of the world and
ehe United States Army il st pres
Gnt conducting It's first experiment
along this line at Camp Eustis, Lee
Han, Va.
It is the saith Infantry that
no longer has to hike with slow
military tread, riding instead In
. fleet Of 56 Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks. Extensive ma
31euvers being conducted since last
august have proved so successful
that indications point to COM
plete motorization Of the army
within the next few years.
1t Is far cry from modern
uaye to the time when Hannibal
LED his army over the Alps, and
yet q comparison seems apprOpri-
ate at this time. The chief handi-
cap that Hannibal and all the
other great military leaders had
Go overcome was the lack of speed
an moving their forces. Formerly
m army on the march considered
SWo miles an hour q good average
speed. The Camp Eustis- expert
NnentS with the Chevrolet caravan
have shown that it is possible to
move a regiment with all it's nee
esSary supplies at an average
speed Of Is miles an hour.
Another advantage that has
been discovered is that cross coun-
try travel has been found prac-
tical anywhere that the ground
Is hard. A tractor, included In
she equipment carries q lead
morse for emergency purposes.
Today several regiments Of Brit
tish troops are being moved by
motor cars. Through the British
and American experiments it has
been definitely learned that COM
pletely motorized units can trans
port 800 men eight times more
swiftly than they can travel afoot.
Aside from the slow speed of
animals there is the added in
efficiency Of mules and horses
carrying heavy loads of feed for
the other animals and themselves.
One truck can carry 900 gallons
OF gasoline an adequate supply
BOr the entire motor force.
Included IN the present motor
equipment Of the Camp EuStiS
unit are 10 Chevrolet touring cars,
u standard one and a half ton
Chevrolet trucks, IA Chevrolet
trucks modified with two addi-
e1onal wheels In the rear and
nine Chevrolet pickup trucks.

; One enters Memorial Hall through

Is the heroic statue OF Lincoln. He Is
seated In an armchair which Is on q

feet In height. is a wonderful like

caught the spirit OF the benign. yet
serious Lincoln. There Is a trace
OF wearyneSs on his face. He looks
as though the affairs OF his war
torn nation were weighing heavily.
Directly in back OF the statue are
the words "In this temple. as IN
the hearts OF the people for whom
he saved the Union. the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln is enshrined for
ever"
On the two side walls are two Of
Lincoln's most famous orations.
They are the Gettysburg Address
and his second Inaugural Address.
The whole beauty OF the Lincoln
Memorial Is founded on its huge
proportions and utter simplicity.
One feels. as he enters IL, that he is
standing in the presence OF q mighty
spirit. One doesn't feel as much
awe rs he does reverence. 1t is
what a memorial to Lincoln ought

TO every visitor-the greatness OF
the man whose name IL bears.
