Hell ON Wheels
I'd Armored Division in the Craolnas to Set
Maneuver Record for u. S. Army
BY PATRICK MCLAUGHLIN
Init News Service stan Correspondent

Z WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-When
the First Army maneuvers in the
Carolinas end this December, the
self-styled Hell on Wheels" Sec
ond Armored Division will have
established a maneuver record for
the United States Army with more
than II weeks spent in field
maneuvers since early May.
The division left its home base
at Fort Benning. Ga, on October
% to participate in the Carolina
maneuvers.
Early in May il tested for the
first time in United States history
full armored tactics when il went
into a remote section of the huge
Fort Benning military reserve Sec
ton for 10 days.
On June 10, il entered its first
large-scale exercises in Tennessee
where il fought with and against
components of the Second Army
in the first public demonstration
of armored tactics.
In August, the division took
part in the Third Army problems
in Louisiana.
In September IL fought one
phase each with the Second and
T h ird Army in huge CHG
maneuvers.
In October the American pan.
GER division rolled back TO Fort
Benning and since then has beer
preparing for the Carolina wars.
STRENGTH GROWING
While the men, under the COM
mand of Maj. Gen. George S. Pat
ton Jr. have been hardening and
gaining practical knowledge with
months in the field, the mechani-
cal strength of the division has
been growing.
Approximately 325 tanks. SOC
pa trucks, more than SOC
motorcycles, 500 half-tracks. 36O
quarter-ton "jeeps" and hundreds
of other miscellaneous vehicles

coast, leaned heavily on her beam
ends and began breaking apart.
The saga of the notorious Gloria
Colita, a ship feared by more than
one sailor, ended on that wave
pounded beach. But evidently the
jinx cast by her ghost crew wasn't
working full time. for all seven
men aboard were saved that night.
1t was the Gloria'S first voyage
since being reconditioned 10 fill
the acute shipping needs of the
American merchant marine. An
sight beside the plated
giants at the New Orleans wharf
front, the three-maSted Gloria Co.
lita still looked a sturdy and capa-
bic craft in mid-September as she
loaded cargo for the Caribbean.
The traces of her fatal voyage
were gone, her decking and rails
had been replaced and painted
She looked little like the derelict
found drifting IT'S miles from land
in the Gulf in February, 1910 with
not soul or her cargo on board.
What became of the nine men who
had manned the Gloria Colita as
it left Mobile Harbor a few days
before has never been learned.
What became of her bulky cargo
was even a deeper mystery.
The Gloria Colita's hull was
towed back to Mobile and not even
a postscript of information was
ever added to her story. Her crew
had vanished like the crew of
some cursed ship in a fiction tale.

make up the mechanical power OF
the division. L
The usual function of the
mored division is TO send out its
reconnaissance elements and feel
carefully along the enemy front
for soft" spots.
When such a weakspot is found,
the armored division thrusts
through il like a spear and then
fans out behind the enemy line,
hitting enemy communications.
command posts, reserves ana
supplies.
EVERYBODY RIDES
While the armored division cuts
the enemy to pieces from the rear.
infantry organizations may be
striking at the enemy's front.
An armored division, however, Is
capable of conducting an action
entirely on its own.
The German "panzer" divisions
have demonstrated the effective
ness of these tactics in the Russian
War.
Everybody rides in an armored
division, and the combat troops are
equipped to fight from armored
vehicles as they move.
This is the difference between
"mechanized" and motorized"
troops.
Motorized organizations are
equipped TO ride TO battle. but they
do their fighting on foot.
HAND-PICKED MEN
The men of the Second Armored
Division have been hand-picked
from all over the nation.
The Hell on Wheels" Divisioa
is an organization of specialists
first as fighters, then as mechanics.
truck drivers. craftsmen, radio exc
perts, clerks. officer managers
telegraphers, machinists. typists.
