Motor Vehicles
For Maneuyers
Automotive Industry
Invited to Bid on
$4,000. 900 Equipment

The automotive industry has been
invited to bid on approximately 12,-
600 motor vehicles, estimated to
cost about $4,000 900. to equip the
five new streamlined divisions of
the Regular Army which will be
mobilized this winter, the War De-
partment announced yesterday.
1t was explained that large
number of trucks and other vehicles
would be needed in addition to
others ordered early in September,
because of the decision to stream
line the five combat divisions and
prepare them for the biggest peace
time maneuvers in the Army's his
tory next spring.
The announcement said:
THE I'd Division of the Army,
which has now completed a years
'est Of the streamlined or triangular
organization. is the only division
'1uipped with a major portion of
S quota of motor vehicles.
The other four divisions of the
lrmy and corps troops will arrive
n their concentration areas with
out sufficient motor vehicles to per-
nit them to take the field.
1T has been arranged, therefore.
for this mass purchase to allow
the Army to conduct the divisional
and corps maneuvers which are de-
signed for the purpose of training
the Regular Army nucleus of our
defensive force in such a manner
that it can be considered a first
line combat team"
The vehicles on which immediate
bids are being requested include
trucks of various types, ambulances,
passenger and reconnaissance cars.
The trucks are to be delivered be-
fore April 80, 1910. Hope was ex-
pressed that as many of the vehicles
as possible would be delivered early
in the new year. "since it will not
be possible to hold more than local
maneuvers until the units are
equipped with motor vehicles"
Many of the trucks will be used
for towing field guns and artillery
equipment.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Bulgaria does not contain quite
as many square miles as the State
OF Pennsylvania. It has about g.
100000 people.
One side of Bulgaria is on the
Black Sea. Turkey Is a close neigh
Dor and so are Rumania, Greece and
Yugoslavia.
Bulgaria helped Germany fight
the World War. AS a result, it lost
some Of the land it had owned be-
fore.
Some persons suppose that If the
nations Of Europe took back the
boundaries they had before the
World War, everything would go
well. That, however, seems to be
only a fancy. The old boundaries
did not make all nations happy, and
In some cases the borders did not
seem fair"
Pieces of land which Bulgaria used
to own were taken from other coun-
tries in wars before the World War.
That sort of thing might go on and
on and on. Some persons say there
should be urdon of nations with
free trade, just as there is free trade
In the United States between the
States, and in Canada between the
provinces.

was forced to give up his right to
rule by revolt of officers.
The Bulgarians have been called
"the Spartans of modern Europe. /"
Their food is made up largely Of
black bread. corn, cheese and sour
milk. The men in general are healthy
and strong, and fight hard in wars.
The early Bulgarians or "Bul-
gars," appear to have come from the
Volga River region Of Russia. They
built up their own country about
1850 years ago.
Several centuries later, the Turks
conquered Bulgaria. After that, for
a period of more than 500 years,
Turkey held power over the people.
1t was only after a revolt in 1908
that the final step was taken to make
the nation free again.
Most Bulgarians are Greek Cath
olics. They did not want to be under
the rule Of Turkey because the Turks
were of another religion.

Mr.. Becker reasoned first that his
partners four no-trump bid clearly
denied the ace of hearts and showed
a hand with five-card club suit to
the king and two of the three miss
ing queens. If these side queens
were in spades and diamonds, he
could almost surely count IL tricks
at no-trump; but if one of the queens
happened to be in hearts, apparently
there would be far better play for
the slam in clubs. Hence, Mr..
Becker quite properly bid six clubs
and let his partner play the hand
The slam was a laydoWn in clubs,
since declarer made three spade
tricks, the ace and king of diamonds,
one heart trick, his own five clubs
and ruffed one heart in dummy for
II tricks. At no-trump, however,
against perfect defense the best that
could be made would be II tricks.
