Franco and other European conn-gently to experiment with European
tries, tho nrmy mule will determine nnsollno traction engines. Arrange-

Only one branch of the American
army Is giving serious attention to
motor traction. In th0 iiuarterinas
ter's department experiments nro be
ing made, particularly nloiig tho Tex
as border, with handling supplies In
motor trucks. Motor trucks nro In
pchoral use, of course, about army
posts and wherever good roads nro

of armies t lie re.
In many wnys, army officers bo
llove, tho present war will havo little
effect on tho development of Ameri
can military transportation equip;
mont. Tho armies of Germany,
Franco, and to bojiio oxtcnt England,
mere wheel tracks across tho conn- nro equipped to fight In the highly
try aro tho only highways, tho six-, developed territory which Is tho
mule team Is master of tho transpor- present theater of war. Transfer thorn
tatlon situation.
A few years ago It was determined
to experiment wlth motor transpor
tation as a means to Increase the ra
dlus of field artillery. Tho most
nvallublo subject for this purposa was
tho battery wagon, carrying tho for
ges for gun repairs nnd horseshoo
Ing and also for saddler's equipment.
Ono such wagon accompanies every
battery of artillery In tho field. It
trails along In tho rear of tho column
nnd docs not go Into action. Thus Its
activities aro largely confined to
roads, although tho battery Itself
must go cross lots by Gold nnd
ntrcam to tako positions against an
approaching hostile force.
Foncrnl Crozlor, chief of tho nrmy
ordnance bureau, designed n motor
battory wagon which was tried out
In manouvers. It proved a flat fail
ure, for It was so heavy that It hroko
to tho United States nnd tho greater
part of their motor equipment nnd
much of tholr heavy artillery would
bo found almost useless, It Is said.
They would linvo to ho ro-oiulppcd
with horso and mule transportation.
Tho difficulties encountered by Gor
mnn troops who crossed tho Husslau
border, oflfcers sny, wero thoso of
transportation. Poor roads mndo It
Imposslblo for thorn to move guns
nnd supplies as their tactical train
ing directed. Several big guns were
lost without having fired a shot, It
Is reported, hecauso they could not
ho wlthdinwn swiftly.
Tho United States nrmy employs
motorcycles to soino extent for or
derlies carrying messnges. Even this
Is limited by road conditions, how-1

dn"ThE MODEM r1ES5ME' new Reliance -Mutual photoplay
i
In u vivid story whose t-cenes nro laid nlonjj tho Mexican border Florence
Crawfoid plays the role of May, u wealthy rancher's daughter. She Is kid
naped by Mexican bandits, who wilte her father that unless a huge ransom Is
forthcoming she will bo killed. May Is forced to write this ransom begging
letter, Hut she manages to slip n mesxiigo over on them In very clever fashion
and thus tells her father when she Is being held.
Thnt much Is the basle story of "The Hidden Message." Hut there ne-
cured one hi cue In (he Maying of this Reliance-Mutual photo drama that !
wasn't according to Iloyle. The scilpt called for May's capture by the bandits
when she leaned over a water pool to get a drink, her horse's reins through
her arm.
While she was galloping at full speed across tho prairie, eomlng Into camera
netlou. the 1 woe's near fore leg lauded on some Mft shale that protected a
gully, Instantly the shale gave way and pieclpltated Imtli rider and animal
Into tho gully. The camera posted near by got the terrllle fall.
Miss Crawford mid her hooe weie stunned for a long time, but the plucky
girl, nfter recovering her m-iikcs. Insisted on going through the scene as It was
oilglnally planned. And now the director Is wondering whether to use the
Mene that Mas written or the scene that occurred, having Miss Crawfoid'
capture effected while she Is unconscious. ,
