YANK HUM0R
WEAPON
AGAINST NAILS

WITH THE TIN ARMY EAST OF
THE RHRE-qP)-Men and women
who build the wheeled steel that the
Yank fighters are driving hourly deeper
into Maitland ought to know about the
affection the GIs lavish on their par
ticular jeeps, trucks, tractors, tanks, half
tracks, ~6-WheeleTs and all the rest Of
the war vehicles.
Bright Islands of American humOr in
the midest Of this grim business Of
motorized warfare are the nicknames
and decorations the boys have cooked
up for their vehicles. During days of
travel via ieep and command car, bounc-
ing and sithering i've rutted roads of
southern France and Germany, I've seen
thousands upon thousands Of these bat
tie wagons, all sizes and shapes-but
mostly big, burly, brutal and able to go
anywhere that mountain goat can
navigate.
The majority OF them have been given
pet names by their crews and most Of
them reflect the powerful twin longings
Of the doughboys-lOnging for the part
OF America that means home, and long
ing for their women. Just as a guess I'd
say that half or more of all the pet
names are those Of women. And some
how, the bigger and more brutal the
vehicle looks, the fancier and flossier
the girls name is likely to be decorating
its radiator, hood or cowl.
A Feurette, Daisy Mae or Baby Doll is
likely to weigh upwards Of 10 tons, ride
on three axles and eight to 10 tires, and
be designed to pick ordinary Atom trucks
out Of the mud and trundle them home
for repairs.
just about every American city bigger
than $4,000 inhabitants, and many a
smaller place, has named after it one OF
more rugged trucks or tractors now roar
ing over the highways toward Berlin and
Munich. Tt would not surprise me if the
first Yank battlewagon to roll on the
streets of Berlin would bear a name like
Poughkeepsie Pete, Georgia Peach. kan
sas Cutie, Chattanooga Choochoo OF
Bronx Buggy.
The heights Of Yank humor are
reached in the titles that suggest quail
tiles rather than names Of persons OF
places. There must be hundreds Of big
brown buggies running with labels like
Hearts and Flowers, Buzzin Cousin, Slow
Motion, Maiden's Prayer, Dirty Gerty.
Stage Coach, Nervous Wreck, Hot Pants
and 50 forth. Somehow I'd give the prize
50 far to a huge mud-stained monster,
that shook the German soil with the
name Of Strange Fruit.
Besides the names there are the deco
rations. I've seen scores Of vehicles
spruced UP with German helmets, fancy
dolls, deer antlers, stuffed hawks, t1sked
boar's heads-trophies picked up from
bombed houses and apartments whose
Nazi owners have fled with the retreat
ing Wehrmacht.
No wonder these serious and servile-
minded Germans find the unmiitary
minded Yank hard to figure out: a casu-
al matter-Of-fact practical Joking lot Of
youngsters who don't know discipline.

German-style, and obviously have never
been taught that dictatorship beats de-
mocracy every time.
Because of their silly-named trucks
and their guns garlanded with flowers
and trimmed with street signs. the
Yanks are running the Nazis ragged,
The only comfort for most Germans is
their certainty that it won't go on much
longer. Obviously, it can't. Those joke
making Americans are grinding eastward
much too fast.

The saying that this Is a me-
chanical war takes on added
meaning when you glance over
the 1914 edition of Motor Truck
Facts, biennial publication OF
the Automobile Manufacturers
Associa ton. Ii shows that since
the beginning of the war. more
than 2,240.0 900 trucks have been
produced for the army and the
navy.
The industry is now producing
military vehicles and parts at
the rate of $500, 600, 900 a year,
which is two and half times
the value of trucks and parts
manufactured in the previous
peak year of 1871. About 80
per cent has been shipped to
Allied Nations under lend-lease
or direct purchase.
On the domestic front, the
booklet shows that 4,744, 900
trucks and 216,000 trailers were
operating as of June 30, 1914.
This total was only slightly
below the all-time peak. Nearly
half of the certificates Of war
