EIGHT AUTO HAS NOT ELUTED THE 0. S. m MULE American Roads Not Up to the Standard of Germany, France and Belgium, Therefore the Mule is Still Usable. Washington—Th<* American army mule need have no fear for hi* laurels be caue<» of the preat part gasoline motors have played in transportation problems of European armies in the war. Until American roads generally are brought up to the high standard of the roads of Germany. France, Belgium and other European countries, the army mule will determine through his capacity for haiuling the limitation of operations for American military forces Only one branch of the United States army is giving serious attention to mo tor fraction. In the quartermaster's de partment exp rlments ate being made, particularly along the Texas border tvith handling supplies in motor trucks Motor trucks are In general use, of course, about army posts and wherever good roads are Available; but when man euvers take the columns Into the field end the sandy or muddy country roads, where mere wheel tracks across the country are the only highways, the six mule team is still mwtrt 1 of the trans portation situation. Experiment. A few years ago it was determined to experiment with motor transportation as a means to increase the radius of field artillery. The most available sub ject far this purpose was the battery wagon, earthing the forges for gun re pairs and horse shoeing and also the waddlar's equipment. One such wagon eeoompanlen every battery of artillery Jn the field. 11 trails along in the rear of the column end does not go Into ac ttfton. Thus Us activities are largely confined to roads although the battery Itself must go crons lots by field and •trearn to take postilons against an ap proaching hostile force. Otneral Or Of Ur, thief of the army ordnance bureau, designed a motor bat tery wagon whicn waa tried out In man euver*. It proved a flat failure frtr It tye* so heavy that It broke through bridges and sunk to the hubs in soft roads and generally hampered the bat tery to which It was attached. The ex periment was abandoned *nd the ord nance bureau is now content to swslt the results of tho experiments of the quartermaster's department in self-pro pelled army transportation units. Mules «nd horses are good enough for Ain er ica n artillerymen as yet. Heavy Siege Pieces. In connection with the newest heavy flege pieces designed for the American array it was proposd recently to experi ment with European gasoline traction engines Arrangements were under way for the importation of one of these nt the time the European war broke out Now every engine of that character has been turned to actual use abroad and Instead of importing automobiles or mo tor trucks, the United Htntes is shipping them abroad for the use of armies there In many ways, army officers believe, the present war will have little effect on the development of American rnlli tnrv transportation equipment. The armies of nermsny, France, and to some extent England are equipped to fight In the hlghlv developed territory which is the present theatre of war. Transfer them to the interior of the United Htatos and the greater part of their motor equipment and much of their heavy ar tlller' would be found almost useless, it Is said. Re-equipped.

Hundreds Turkeys Being Killed. Hundreds of turkeys are being slaughtered In Augusta for the great day tomorrow, Thanksgiving.

THE... Public Mind To The Herald: The following clipping from a morn ing paper quoted from the Douglas En terprise is so quaint and delicious that I must needs crave a few lines from you to enlarge upon It: Douglas Enterprise: The dally papers are gradually transferring the war news to inside pages. It has become secondary and in a few months will be the least read of any news matter. I cannot Imagine exactly In what spirit the morning paper quotes this delectable morsel, hut I am ever so much obliged to them for extricating it for .me. If It had remained in the timber I might never have known that the enterprising city of Douglas looked with disfavor upon the war. It is to be presumed that the larger Interests of Douglas consider that too much prominence and publicity Is being given to the quarrelsome doings of all those little countries, England, Germany, France, Russia, etc., etc. The future historians of Douglas resent being bothered with all this mass of printed matter every day, when there are so many Important things to be recorded. What difference does It make to them, after all? But I do think it's right amusing, don't you? It's really rather sweet. It's a long, long way from Douglas to Tipperary. CALL IT REST HAVEN. Augusta, Ga„ 11, 24, 1914. To the Herald: 1 have read so much concerning an appropriate name for the new ceme tery, that I am offering "Rest Haven" as n name for the last resting place for our loved ones. MRS. R. W. To The Herald: May I suggest through your "Public Mind" column that the controversy regarding the naming of our cemetery be dropped? It Is such a dead old sub ject—no life to It. BORED ONE SAYS U. S.

Date MAY BE LAST THANKSGIVING CLASH OF CLEMSON-TECH Atlanta, Ga.— Tomorrow's football game between Georgia Tech and Clemson probably will be the last Thanksgiving Day contest between the two colleges, the five-year con tract having pxpired. It is considered likely that next year the Turkey Day fight will be between Tech and Au burn. The Clemson Thanksgiving Day game, it Is said, has been scheduled for financial reasons. Tech-Auburn or Tech-Georgia will draw a crowd on any old day, and most any game will draw n. crowd on Thanksgiving. But there has been dissatisfaction with the arrangement, as Clemson has few graduates in Atlanta, is hardly con sidered as a rival for Tech, and the game Is popular only because there’s nothing else to do after a Thanksgiv ing Day dinner.
