MOTOR TRUCK TEST SHOWS
SAVING IN TIME AND MONEY
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 21. —A
saving of $2.89 per man and at least
Three hours in time over special train
service in the transportation of 18 in
fantry soldiers and their full marching
equipment by motor truck from Ft.
McPherson, near Atlanta, and to Ft.
Oglethorpe, near Chattanooga, over
rhe Dixie Highway, was made in the
military motor truck test between the
two camps, Tuesday, October 39th, ac
cording to data compiled by officers of
the Quartermaster’s Department of the
United States Army which have just
been made available. The distance of
135 miles via Rome, Georgia, was cov
ered by the White truck on which had
been mounted a special mody designed
by Lieut. Col. H. J. GaiHagher, Depot
Quartermaster at Atlanta, in five hours
and thirty-two minutes, averaging 24
miles an hour, and the distance of
125.7 miles via the Dalton route be
tween the two encampments was cov
ered in five hours and one minute at
the rate of 25 miles an hour.
Six two-ton freight trucks loaded
with clothing and hardware consigned
to Major A. L. Bump, Quartermaster
ar Ft. Oglthorpe, made the trip on the
same date over both routes of the
Dixie Highway between the Quarter
master's Warehouse in Atlanta and
the warehouse of the Post Quartermas
ter at Ft. Oglethorpe. The first truck
to arrive at the Lytle Warehouse at
Ft. Oglethorpe over the Dalton route
made the distance of 117 miles in eight
hours and seven minutes running time,
and the first truck to arrive traveling
the Rome route covered the distance
of 135 miles between the two points in
eight hours and thirty minutes. All
of the trucks entered made the trip in
less than twelve hours. While the
data on the comparison of the cost of
making the shipment <by Iruck w ith
that of the railroad has not been com
pleted, the saving in time over freight
shipments owing to the fact that the
trucks were able to deliver their load
at the point wanted without delays in
cident to rehandling and switching, the
time saved is variously estimated from
12 to 36 hours. It is believed that the
figures on the cost will show a saving
in favor of the highway and the motor
truck. ,
While the military motor truck tost
was inaugurated by the Dixie High
way Association with the co-operation
of the Chattanooga Automobile Club
and the Georgia State Automobile As
sociation and the Atlanta Automobile
Club for the purpose of making a prac
tical demonstration of the need of con
struction of the Dixie Highway for mil
itary purposes, the military authorities
of Atlanta and Ft. Oglethorpe were in
active charge of the test.
The military supplies were furnished
through the co-operation of Lieut. Col.
Gallagher, depot quartermaster, and
his assistant, Lieut. Col. R. B. Powers,
and the test was In charge of Major A,
L Bump of Ft. Oglethorpe. Major
Bump detailed Sergeant O. M. Thomas,
who holds the record ro long service
in tho transportatiom department of
the army, to be in immediately charge
of the trucks. Col. Abner Pickering,
commanding Ft. Oglethorpe, detailed a
regimental supply sergeant from the
various regiments at Ft. Oglethorpe to
be in charge of each of the six truck's
and keep an accurate record of the
trip.
Col. T. A. Scarce, of Camp Gordon,
Atlanta, was specially detailed by the
War Department to observe the test
and its results and make an exhaustive
report to the Government. Among the
military observers were Colonel Pick
ering, Major Bump, Major Gordon
Catts, assistant senior instructor of the
Officers’ Reserve Training Camp, Cap
aiu A. T. Dalton, Construction Quar
termaster Ft. Oglethorpe, Captain
Hodges, of the Quartermasters’ De;iart
n.ent, Lieut. Colonels Gallagher and

WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE.
Nov 2C. —Give the
public a clear understanding of the nec
essity for War Camp Community Ser
vice—what it means to every enlisted
man, and the $4,000,090 quota which
we are seeking would be over-sub
scribed in a day, declares .John N,
Willys, chairman of the National Com
mittee of the War Camp Community
Service.
“Because there are so many move
ments on now for the benefit of the
soldier and sailor, it was not the most
easy thing in the world for us to ac
quaint the public thoroughly with our
object,” continued Mr. Willys. “At
first we were continually being asked,
why we should undertake this work
when other organizations were already
covering the same field.
"Asa matter of fact, the reason we
took up War Camp Community Service
was that it appeared to be a most vital
field of endeavor which had been en
tirely overlooked, as far as concerted
effort toward improving community
conditions were concerned. l T p to this
have not gone outside the camps and
time, many fraternal and other organ
izations have done splendid work in
improving camp conditions, but they
Lave not gone outside the camps and
posts.
“The enlisted man is bound to go
outside his camp or post, whenever the
opportunity affords itself. He goes to
the neighboring community seeking
rest and recreation and that is when
we want to be with him and protect
him from evil influences. We do not
want to accompany him in the guise
of a policeman, a detective, a moral in
structor or anything of that nature.
We simply aim to surround him with
an environment in communities adja
cent to the camps and posts which will
be so conducive toward clean living,
mentally and physically, that evil
temptation will almost be practically
eliminated.
‘‘That environment will consist of
home hospitality, club houses, swim
ming pools, outdoor and indoor athlet
ics, professional and amateur theatri
cal entertainments and such other
forms of amusement and recreation
that appeal to young red-blooded
soldiers.
“We can provide our fighting men
with those advantages only if the pub
lit. will contribute the funds, which for
one year amount to $4,900,000. In
other word’s, $3 for each soldier and
sailor will do the work.
“That the plans of War Camp Com
munity Service advocates are most
feasible is evidenced in the way prom
inent public men and military officers
have endorsed them. Not only Sec
retary Baker and Secretary Daniels
are lending active support to the
work, but such men as Col. Roosevelt,
M.aj. Gen. Leonard Wood and others
equally well known are back of us in
the work.
“The War Department and Navy De
partment Commissions on Training
Camp Activities will supervise the ex
penditure of the funds when they
have been collected.
‘‘The keynote of our instructions to
our representatives in the various
cities and towns of the country during
the ‘big drive’ this week is: Make
clear to the public what War Camp
Community Service means and the
fund will be forthcoming. The Ameri
can civilian public is too loyal to its
country and too fond of its fighting
men to forget either in the hour of
peril.
BUREAU OF WAR RISK
INSURANCE
To .the Officers and Enlisted Men and
Women of the Army and Navy of
the United Slates and Their Rel
atives: -
The Secretary -of the Treasury,
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance, has been charged with the ad
ministration of the War Insurance 1-au
enacted by the Congress as a measure
o‘ justice to the men and women who
have been called to give their lives, if
need be, in the service of their coun
try .
I wish to acquaint you with the beue
f.ts and privileges which your Gov
ernment has placed at your disposal,
it is essential that you and your fam
ilies at home should know of your and
their rights under this law in order
that full advantage may be taken of
them.
To care for the wife and cihldren of
the enlisted man during his service,
the War Insurance Law compels him
to contribute up. to one-half of his pay
for their support. The Government,
on application, will generously add to
this an allowance of from $5 to SSO a
month, according the.the size of the
i family. Moreover, if the enlisted man
! will make some further provision him-
j self for a dependent parent, brother,
j si>, r, or grandchild, they may be In*
j eluded in the Government allowance,
j If, as a result of injuries incurred or
! disease contracted in the line of duty,
| :.n officer or enlisted man or an Army
; i N'avv nurse should be disabled, pro
vision is made for comimns-aiion of
•ii •, - 1 tU a i.Q UlUl, -Sim,
THE EARTOW TRIBUNE.THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS. NOV 29, 1917.
should he die, compensation of from
S2O to $75 a month will be paid to his
wife, cr child, or his widower! mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made it possible for every soldier,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and
total-disability insurance. This insur
ance applies to injuries received while
he or she is in the service cr after he
or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive. It was. therefore, a plain
duty and obligation for the Govern
ment to assume the risk of insuring
hundreds of thousands cf our soldier.-:
ard sailors who are making the su
preme sacrifice. Under this law, evety
soldier and sailor and nurse, com
missioned and enlisted, and of any
age, has the right, between now and
February 12, 1918, to take out life and
total-disability insurance up to SIO,OOO
at very low cost, with the Government
without medical examination. This
right is purely optional. The soldiers
and sailors are not compelled to take
insurance, but if they desire to exer
cise the right, they must do so before
the 12th of February, 1918. The cost
ranges front 65 cents monthly, at the
age of 21, to $1.20 monthly, at the age
of 51, for each SI,OOO of insurance.
This is a small charge on a man’s pay,
small in proportion to the benefits it
may bring. The premiums will be de
ducted from his pay, if he desires, thus
eliminating trouble on his part.
To provide adequate protection until
February 12, 1918, during the period
when the soldiers and sailors are learn
ing the details of this law, the Gov
ernment automatically insures each
man and woman, commissioned or en
listed in the military service of the
United States. It pays the man $25 a
month during total permanent disabil
ity; if he dies within 20 years, it pays
the rest of 240 monthly installments of
$25 each to his wife, child, or widowed
mother.
I desire to call the provisions of this
just and generous law to the attention
or' our officers and enlisted men and
women so that they may not be de
prived of their rights- through lack of
knowledge. Full information may be
obtained from the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance of the Treasury Department,
Washington, D. C. I earnestly urge
that the officers of the . Army and
Navy give to the men under their com
mand all possible aid in helping them
to understand fully the benefits that
this insurance may bring to their famil
ies and the small cost at which it may
be obtained.
This is the greatest measure of pro
tection ever offered to its fighting
forces by any nation in ;he history of
the world. It is not charity; it is sim
ply justice to the enlisted men and
women and to their loved ones at
home, and each and every one of them
should promptly take the benefits of
tliis great law.
W. G. McADOO,
Secretary of Treasury.
VALUE OF VELVET BEAN 3.
Convinced beyond all question that
there isjwore value in velvet bean’s
than some Georgia farmers are getting
for them, Director Lem B. Jackson, of
the State Bureau of Markets, has is
sued the following statement on the
value of velvet beans based upon the
present cost per urrit of commercial
It rtillzersj
"In view of the fact that there is
some confusion as to the proper money
value to l;e placed upon velvet beans,
the Bureau feels that it would be well
lor the farmers of Georgia to know the
exact commercial value of velvet beans
iii ilie pod, figured strictly as a fer
tilizer and with no reference to their
feeding value.
The fertilizer eoniisniies are selling
their product to the farmer on the fol
lowing basis:
“Phosphoric Acid. SI.OO p t r unit;
Ammonia, $6.00 per unit; Potash, $6.00
tier unit.
“Velvet Beans in the pod, by ehemi.
c-a analysis, show the following:
“Phosphoric Acid. 0.72; Ammonia,
.1.38; Potash, 1.39.
"These figures show that Velvet
Beans in the pod, plowed under, have a
money value o $29.22 tier ton.
“This Bureau is not advising that
velvet beans be used as a ferilizer,
but has been stressing the fact that
beans fed to meat, will yield the best
financial returns. Nevertheless the
actual fertilizer value, shown in the
foregoing figures, should be kept In
mind when considering the'r money
value.’’

BEAR RAID ON COTTON
NOT ALARMING.
There is no need for any serious
alarm on the part of Georgia farmers
over the apparent attempted bear raid
on cotton, declares Commissioner J,
J. Brown of the State Department cf
Agriculture. There isn’t a pound
more cotton in sight than there was
a month ago, and the department re
gards the attempt to create a scare
over the recent published announce
ment that there are practically no
vessels available for carrying cotton
to England, as an absurd bear effort
to depress the price below the actual
worth of the staple.
‘‘lt is my advice to the farmers of
Georgia to hold their cotton and to
continue to hold it against any de
clining market,” said Commissioner
Brown. “Our Georgia farmers are
better able than ever before in their
history to hold the cotton they have
made. We know the world has got to
have it, and that sooner or later it
will take it, England included.
“My opinion has not changed one
iota with regard to the value of this
crop. I believe it is worth 30 oents a
pound, and that before very long you
will see it at that figure. Every
statement we have made about this
situation, has been borne out by de
velopments, and those who hold their
cotton now, I am confident, will cer
tainly congratulate themselves that
they did so.”
