MORE DEFENSIVE POWER IPffiEQAli sA i i n & Says Trucks So Zaoipped Could "With stand Any Sort ot sb Attack cap That 17 Artillery. By Kent E. Hunter. . Columbus, N. M., May l.-r(I. N. fi.) Machine guns will solve another ' International trouble to which the . United State la a party. Just as ma hbie runs have solved the war prob lem In Europe by deadlocking 10,000, 000 men In trenches within a few i yards of each other. . This Is the opinion of Major Henry Parker of the twenty-fourth infantry, author of two books on machine gun construction and a recognized expert .on tha principles of rapid fire ma chinery!; In furtherance of his idea. Major , Parker has. worked out a Dlan for ro- - duclng 'excess weight and at the same time Increasing the defensive power , of the motor truck trains that now are tha sole method of communication be " tween the base here and General Per shing's scattered units In Mexico. . Major Parker's Hovel Plan. Throughout the armories of the United States are hundreds of machine stubs. They are of patterns now re- carded as obsolete by the government, Vbut which are nevertheless in good .forking order. Major Parker pro poses to call In these guns, mount v," them one to a truck and put a ma- V chins gun operator on as a guard in place of the two or three guards now Atslgned to each truck armed with the f regulation Springfield rifle. "The different makes of machine , guns tried out by the army and dls , carded for one defect or another could be put in cradles on each truck," said . Major Parker. "To awing the trucks --Into a hollow square in case of an attack would he but the work of a moment and there is no power on . earth that could stand the withering . fir such a unit-could deliver unless V artillery is used. ;r tittle Banger rrom Artillery. f "And along the roads and trails traveled by motor trucks there is mighty little chance of running into artillery. Artillery might force the , trucks to run. That would make a S;' moving target, with comparatively "i small danger from shell fire, and still ; ' would not effectively stop the fire )of 'the machine guns on the trucks." - A mechanic's plan of the gun cradle proposed by Major Parker, with stat istics prepared by him on the number of machine guns available and the number of operators of such guns , . that can be mustered for service for th present enlistment of the army; is to be sent to General Funston at Ban Ajtonio for consideration In a lew cays. l? -, U -w ' II '"' ZJ&h'''' V7'"ll'M; W If 'f ' 1 Left to riglit Mrs. R.
