Joseph Patterson Gives Graphic Pic
ture of Auto Truck and Ambu
lance Service Behind French
Fighting Front.
Joseph Patterson la a former member of
the staff of The Oregonian who Is home for
brief rest after nine months In the Verdun
and Rheims sectors of the French front as
ambulancler in Section 1, American Ambu
lance Kleld Service. He was asked by the
Automobile Editor to tell or the work done
by automobiles behind the fighting lines.
This vivid narrative brings the guns of
Valiant Verdun booming almost in one's ears.
BT JOSEPH PATTERSON.
No Industry has been more called
upon to play a part In the war than
the automobile Industry. The condi
tions at the front depend on the care
of the cars. A comparatively small
tractor does. the work of 50 horses in
pulling a large cannon to its station.
Large trucks, called camions In France,
go almost up to the second-line
trenches and many are destroyed by
hells every night.
The only advantage horses have over
trucks is that they can go in and out
of shell holes where a truck would
stick. Horses are subject to stampedes
and work on the nerves of the men,
whereas the only danger from a truck
Is In having It skid and sideswipe pass
ing troops or vehicles.
Of course, lightweight cars are the
only ones that could reach the second
trench. Only Ford ambulances go there
with regularity. Big Flats, Rolls Royce,
White and other makes have tried it
but the larger cars are not satisfactory
on roads which are filled with shell
boles.
Holes 12 Feet Deep.
In saying "filled with shell holes,"
ao exaggeration is made, for in front
of Verdun 2200 men are at work every
night, some in daytime, repairing the
roads. Often holes 12 feet deep and 20
feet in diameter at the surface of the
ground are made by big shells, and the
roads are scarcely 20 feet wide at any
place.
In other places mounds of rock and
earth are thrown on the roads by shells
dropping beside them. Add to this
smashed trucks, wagons, their contents,
cannon wheels, dead horses and oc
casionally dead men who have been
buried beside the road and later dug
up by shells, lying undiscovered in the
dark, and you have a picture.
Furthermore, the drivers are not al
lowed to use lights of any kind and
nearly every night have to wear gas
masks, humorously called "blinders"
by the men using them. The masks
have isinglass eyes, which fog up.
Automobiles used by staff officiers
are ordinary touring cars of French,
English and American make. The
lighter cars are preferred for the rides
close to" the front, whereas the heavier
cars are always preferable for making
trips back of the lines.
French roads are famous the world
over, which calls to mind that the Co
lumbia River Highway is well known
In Europe. Many French people have
driven over it and it is highly adver
tised by American tourist agencies and
American banks. In France the roads
are hard surfaced, generally level and
have a double border of shade trees
placed at equal intervals.
All Cars Marked.
When a truck goes over a bank a
tractor with a caterpillar tread is used
to recover It. Officiers go by auto to
within about two or three miles of the
trenches in daylight and walk the rest
of the way or board an ambulance. An
ambulancier who carries a General al
ways asks him for a souvenir and the
courteous French officials always of
fer their revolver, a button or some
thing from their person.
The officiers do not attempt to go
over the roads in their cars at night.
The roads are too crowded and a car
would be Bmashed before it got very
far. An ambulance is the only vehicle
ever allowed to use the left side of the
road or to crowd in behind a wagon,
thus mixing in with a convoy.
All cars are marked on the wind
shields and have their military number
and convoy or regiment insignia. Each
driver must have identification papers
to correspond and an "order de move
ment" every time he goes anywhere.
The leader at the head of a convoy has
an order for the entire convoy. The
ambulanciers have- blanket orders al
lowing them to move within the rone
of their army division and may not be
stopped by a military policeman or
sentry and questioned if they have
wounded.
Entering a new locality a sentry first
looks for the wounded; if the car is not
laden he may ask you for your signa
ture and compare it with that on the
papers and also your appearance with
the officially stamped photographs on
the same.
Limousines Scarce at Front.
Many persona ask how close to the
line railroads run. Steam engines are
replaced by gasoline engines about five
miles behind the lines, because the
former might throw out sparks, which
would draw the-enemy's fire, as they
would know that munitions were being
hauled to the batteries. The trains
move only at night, as aviators would
spot them In day time. The roadbeds
and tracks are severed In many places
every night, requiring constant watch
ing and repairing.
Generals carry flags at the side of
their cars and may pass a military po
liceman without showing identification
papers, but a division General must
show his papers to his own policeman
when he leaves his own zone. This is
sometimes amusing, as the policeman,
or gendarmie, is only a private soldier
under instructions from the General
whom he compels to identify himself or
be shot.
Large limousines are seldom seen,
because they burn too much gasoline,
which is about the scarcest essential
In France. Once I saw General Petain.
whose . headquarters were at
that used by automobiles Is of very low
grade. None may be purchased by any
body In France not connected with the
government or doing war work. Then
the allowance is very limited and care
fully watched and costs a small for
tune. Ambulance men take the hot water
out of their radiators to shave and
bathe with. To crank up a car which
has stood unprotected in zero weather
for 24 hours requires much exertion
and patience. It is impossible to heat
water near the front to thaw out the
radiator and pipes, so a hot cloth is
placed about the carburator and the
back wheels are Jacked up. It may
take two hours even then to crank the
car and make the engine run.
Ambulanciers are not allowed to de
sert their ambulances when the cars
are smashed in dangerdus places at the
front. This is obviously to prevent
men becoming frightened from pur
posely smashing their cars by driving
into a hole or over a bank and then
running back to report or lying asleep
in a dugout. The next ambulance re
ports the accident and the repairing
is done until the car may be moved,
the driver staying, eating and -sleeping
by his car.
' Roads Too Bad for Motorcycles. .
Motorcycles are used a great deal,
but cannot go over the worst roads
which exist at the front. A man
could smash a motorcycle a thousand
.times in one trip if he tried to make
the rront. They leave their motor
cycles at a place near the front and
walk the rest of the way to take or
deliver dispatches.
Metal-studded tires are used almost
Invariably, because there is so much

The test was officially observed by
three . disinterested persons W. D.
Edenburn. automobile editor of the
Detroit News and local representative
of the American Automobile Associa
tion: C. G. Steinhauer, automobile edi
tor of the Detroit Journal, and E. W.
Sullivan, assistant secretary of the
Detroit Automobile Club.
Before making the run the truck was
loaded with a Maxwell touring car
weighing 1 1970 pounds, the driver
weighed 210 pounds and Mr. Sullivan
tips the beams at 200 pounds even.
The gross weight of truck and load
was 6525 pounds.
A stock Maxwell truck was used,
and under the close scrutiny of the
three observers a gallon tank was
filled with gasoline. During the en
tire run the Maxwell truck gave evi
dence of its efficiency and economy,
The truck and Its load went over the
city streets and rural highways very
smoothly. The engine constantly beat
with, phenomenal regularity. There
never was a hitch to mar the demon
stration.
Whenever occasion demanded, the
truck responded with alacrity to the
use of the brakes or speeded up to
avoid getting caught in congested
traffic. The test was as remarkable
in showing the efficiency of the one
ton Maxwell as it was in acquiring i
wonderful economy record.

Once while going to post in front of
Fort Douamont, which is several miles
In front of Verdun, I saw a large un
exploded shell, about 15 Inches in diam
eter, lying across my path, I sup
posed it had dropped from a French
ammunition wagon and was about - to
roll it to one side when I observed
the percussion cap protruding from the
front. Instantly I realized that it had
to be a German shell which had fallen
on Its side without exploding, because
the French large-caliber guns were
never closer than several miles of the
front and were moved on rails.
A French artillery officier from a
nearby battery removed the cap by un
screwing it and together we rolled the
shell off the road. But a touch on that
cap while it was In place would have
exploded the shell.
On the morning of September 9 I met
General Riberpray, commander of the
128th Division of the French army, who
had smashed the wheel of his staff car
and was- unable to proceed. His aide
requested me to carry General Riber
pray and him to the post de secours
behind the second trench in front of
Fort Douamont, which request I ac
cepted as an honor.
General Taken Back Dead.
When leaving the ambulance ac the
post General Riberpray wrote his name
on a card and presented it to me, say
ing that I cuuld get anything I wanted
by presenting his card to any of his
men. '.
There was a French attack on and
the General went down to the first
trench to observe the fighting. Twenty
minutes later his aide came back
slightly wounded in his arm and I ex
claimed: "What's the matter "
"General Riberpray is dead," was
his response.
A shell had killed the General before
he reached the front trench and wound
ed his aide. Thirty minutes later I
carried the General's 'body back.

Against Hiding It With Tire.
Motorists should be careful that the

does not hide a part or all of the num

F. Goodrich Rubber Company. He warns
tnat tne owners or automobiles should

tors for the Oakland in- Portland and
Multnomah County, and are now on ex
hibition there.
The Oakland, always has been noted
particularly for its lightness of weight,
compactness, easy riding qualities and
tire and fuel economy. The new model
has these qualities to an even, greater
degree than its predecessors! -
In addition, it has several refine
ments that mark It especially as a car
that will merit public esteem. The
straight windshield, for Instance, has
been replaced by a slanted windshield,
which gives the. car a particularly
stylish appearance. The windshield
has a one and one-quarter-inch over
lap to prevent rain from leaking in.
The lines of the car, also, are gener
ally straighter than those of previous
models. The streamline effect is more
nearly attained in the design of the
hood and the forepart of the body.
Long, semi-elliptic rear springs ex
plain one reason why tne new Oakland
is a remarkably easy-riding car. An
other reason is that the car is equipped
with oversize tires, .32 by 4 inches, al
though its total weight is only 2130
pounds.
The body of the car is broad and
roomy. The 44-horsepower engine pro
vides a great abundance of power for
every need and makes the Oakland
especially responsive on acceleration.
The car is a capital hill climber.
Something of the popularity of the
Oakland Sensible Six may be Judged
from the fact that in the past two
years, 70,000 of these light cars have
been sold. The refinements on the new
model are certain to make it more in
demand than ever.

Seventeen and eight-tenths miles on

able performance recently of a loaded
Maxwell one-ton truck. This economy
demonstration was accomplished in
traffic in Detroit and over rural roads
adjacent to the city.
So far as shown by available data
the Maxwell truck performance is by
far the biggest mileage on a gallon of
gasoline ever made by any truck. It
is - believed to be the world's record.
The driver had never before driven a
truck, and the road used did not al

For Rust Prevention.
When metal parts are to be exposed
to the air any length of time, precau
tion should be taken to prevent the
formation of rust. It Is customary to
give such parts a coating of grease or
oil, buf there is a superior method to
this... The Mparts are covered with cup
grease. over which is wrapped fabric
madeby'pasting absorbent paper on
background of burlap. This covering
has the quality of absorbing moisture,
which. latter causes the formation of
rust. .

DETROIT. Dec. 8. (Special.) There
is no doubt In the minds of Detroit
residents about the Government's de
termination to respond promptly and
energetically to Premier Lloyd George's
Pleas for a "million men and a moun
tain of arms." Although many indus
tries have quietly taken over the man
ufacture of munitions since the war
began, the new rush started only re
cently. Gigantic new structures are
being put together with amazing speed
to handle Immense new contracts for
the Government, No shortage of ma
terials handicaps . these undertakings.
Everything comes under Government
priority order.
Probably the most prominent ex
ample, both in magnitude and dispatch,
is the immense new plant wJiich will
house the Dodge Brothers munitions)
industry. The day after a contract for
millions of dollars' worth of special
recoil mechanism had been allotted to
Dodge Brothers by the Government a
force of hundreds of men. teams and
machines was on the ground excavating
and assembling materials.
Government Work Taken Quickly.
The work since then has been Dushed
with great rapidity, the force of work
men being enlarged as fast as laborers
and mechanics are available. Over
night acres of ground are transformed
Into broad, level floors of concrete.
Great masses of material are piling up
on all sides in readiness for a build
ing which will measure S7S by 18 feet.
It Is Intended to have the plant in op
eration next Spring,, with thousands of
workmen employed. The entire work
is in charge of Dodge Brothers own
construction superintendents.
Dodge Brothers' willingness to ac
cept this contract was induced by their
realization of the necessity for prompt
and complete co-operation with the
Government, and not through any de
sire to engage in a business other than
the manufacture of motor cars. As in
the case of their motor car industry,
the Dodge Brothers are their own ex
ecutives and their own directors. There
were no prolonged meetings, no de
bates. When the Government asked
them to take over the contracts, the
work was ordered, and It is being done
Government Orders Dodge Cars.
Dodge Brothers are building the
plant entirely apart from their motor
car factory. Neither will interfere with
the other.
Not "only are Dodge Brothers now
engaged with this tremendous project,
but they are building hundreds of cars
for service in the Army, both of the
passenger and commercial type. The
latter is similar in almost all details to
the Dodge Brothers' commercial car,
on which deliveries began a few weeks
ago.
As a whole the automobile Industry
is co-operating with the Government
on a vaster scale than the public gen
erally imagines, this being but one ex
ample of the energetic spirit which is
enabling the country to get to the front
promptly with men and supplies.

CHALMERS GAR SPEEDY
JOE DAWSON SETS NEW ROAD REC
ORD IN TEXAS.
Drive From San Antonio to Dallas, 303
Miles, Made In Six Hours, 55 Min
utes, 40 Seconds.
Bounding and lurchinog over a road
badly rutted from weight of Army
transports and commissary camions.
Joe Dawson has once more driven a
Chalmers to victory and the possession
of a speed record never equaled by any
known conveyance, including Army
plane?, motorcycle couriers and the
fastest limited in the State of Texas.
Driving the same make of car with
which lie recently shatterad all existing
24-hour records at Sheepshead Bay,
Dawson has this time piloted a four-
passenger Chalmers Duplex over
Southern roads in faster time than the
speedy Texas Special.
Leaving San Antonio at 6:30, Dawson
set out over a comparatively strange
road and checked In at Dallas at 1:27
afternoon. The speedometer registered
exactly 303 miles and, regardless of all
existing obstacles, the run was made
in the remarkable record time of six
hours, 65 minutes and 40 seconds. The
speed attained is 'considered remarka
ble by Lone Star racing enthusiasts:
but of equal prominence to Chalmers
owners Is the fact that although the
duplex is a four-passenger car, it aver
aged 134 miles to a gallon of gasoline
over a badly broken highway.
Road engineers and Army officers
familiar with the stretch between San
Antonio and Dallas are marveling at
the Chalmers performance, the most
sensational stock car record made in
Texas in recent years.
The average time of the fastest train
betwen these two cities is seven hours
and 55 minutes, 69 minutes and 20 sec
onds slower than the Chalmers record.
