FORT LEWIS Dawn's
early light Monday saw 4,50O
men of the Third division de-
part by motor convoy on the
first leg of a march to Cali
fornia; three or four hours
later, at $50, $500 men of
the 41st (Sunset) division got
under way by the same means
for the same ultimate destina-
ton.
BY Q o'clock. the entire convoy
of 200 trucks and miscellaneous
vehicles was on U. s. highway 90
headed south in a line calculated
to be from so to 20 miles long.
These were the first troops of
the two divisions to set out for the
war games. which will begin next
week near Fort Ord, Calf.
Pre-Arranged Schedule
Similar troop movements out OF
Fort Lewis continue daily this
week until Friday. by which time
some $4,000 officers and men will
have joined the migration-part Of
them by train, few by air, but
mostly by motor convoy.
Mondays departure was quite
according to pre-arranged sched-
ule and without special incident.
Every little detail had been worked
out on paper and orders compiled
accordingly.
Every truck driver knew his
exact position in line. what speed
he was to drive and what spacing
to keep.
Spacing for Trucks
Spaces were TO be maintained at
four times the speed in miles per
hour. That is, a truck moving 80 |
miles per hour was TO be spaced |
100 yards behind the truck ahead. |
Officers estimated that II the
entire convoy were started one day,
instead Of being spread over sew
eral days of starting. the first
truck would be at Woodland, Calf,
about 100 miles north OF Oakland.
before the last truck left Fort
Lewis.
But this Is probably the most
army in the world
-oday. II has a heart, and deep
-egard for the rights Of civilians
IN the public highways.

Accordingly. the entire move
nent Is timed and spaced TO pro-
'ide the greatest degree Of safety
