a SOItKOWR'l. und prophetic tinny
inn lo stood beside n Soto ciietus near
JL tlu American end of the long, dusty
Xjb-, r"i"1 fr"lM Columbus. New Mexico, to
SHT Namlipilpa, Old Mexico, so writes W.
J(Wj1bV O. McGeehun In tliu New York Irl-
w w liiine.
H Down tlie trull from tlie base of the
m fl punitive expedition swept n train of
iB Mr lit) unto trucks. They were heavily
vy laden with tliu variety of cargoes that
are required for an army hi the Held.
Kach truck carried four or live troopers In olive drali
Miuatted Insecurely on top of the loud.
The road was uneven, It was full of ruts, hut tlie
mito truck train j-llded iiIoiik at the rate of from elsht
to ten tulles an hour. The vehicles kept u perfect
nllKiimcnt. The troopers swore softly hut earnestly
as the trucks Jolted.
Kven as the army mule watched, the sweating, swear
ln truck train disappeared Into a cloud of dust he
yond the border line. Then the mule tilted hack Ids
dejected head and wive vent to a secret sorrow In one
far-reaching vocal effort. As though mocl,ln his
Krief, the horns ol the auto trucks tooted back de
risively In the distance.
The fcrlef of that army mule was the jxilef of Othel
lo with Ids occupation pine. He sunk behind the Soto
cactus and subsided Into palntul meditation, lie had
Just seen hU finish.
He realized at that moment that the army mule
would never apdn bold a liluli place anion;: the lac
tors which win battles. He realized that practical
poets would no longer siti of the I flues whleti the
army mule could display upon peat emergencies. He
was already obsolete, down and out.
Kven the "mule skinner," with the picturesque vo
cabulary and the hard words, had abandoned him.
The mule skinner was now ilrhlpj; one of those,
auto trucks, and was addressing It with strained
politeness when he spoke to It at all.
It was all wronp 15y the martyred initio of
Matau.as, of which the army bards miiix during the
Spanish-American war days, It was all wtoiikI
Tlier.' was no use to pull against the auto truck,
lie had tried it when they hitched him to the rear
of one. lie decided to drnn the thlnt; back over tlio
desert. Hut. Instead, lie was relentlessly drained
on his haunches for a mile, and lie pive It up.
The Columbus expedition has demonstrated that
In the matter of army transportation "the mule Ih
dead. Ioiik live tlie auto truck!" It had already
been demonstrated at the battle of the Alarne,
when motor vehicles checked the CJerniun advance
and siived France.
Hut our war department moves with excessive
deliberation. It cIiiiib tenaciously to Its fulth In
the mule until the tlrst auto truck train went
KuluiupldiiK Into Mexico, milking three times the
distance that u mule could make over muds which
no motor-driven vehicle could be expected to
trnvel.
Tlio consequence was n rush order for auto
trucks and drivers. The auto trucks are standing
up wonderfully well. They plow through the ulkali
dust up to the hubs, they Jolt over the rocky
places, they flounder through the sundy wustes that
grind the betlrlngs, and they puff through the
mountain pusses. They go anywhere the mule will
go. and they get there In better time.
While the long trull from Columbus to Nnml
qulpu Is lined with the enrcusses of mules and
horses, the auto trucks go rumbling on In their
work of keeping the Held unny supplied with food
and ammunition. They perform new miracles
upon every now emergency.
There are several hundred nuto trucks at tho
army base at Columbus. On a pinch those trucks
could move an entire brlgude In one duy twice us
far us all the horses and mules in the world could
inovo It. This Is true, despite tho fact that muny
of the trucks ure budly rucked becuuso of bud
driving.
Not only does the successful test of the nuto
truck spell the passing of tho mulo train. It
also meuns the pusslng of cavalry, the most pic
turesque branch of the service. Kven cavalry offi
cers In tho punitive expedition will admit thnt
three or four uuto trucks will get u company of In
fnntry twice as far on a forced murch a.s the best
mounted troop of cavulry could trnvel.
Cmalry charges are rare In these days of rapid
fire rifles und muchlne guns. The horses ure used
only to get the men to the front, where they op
erate as Infantry. When the giiRollne-fed mounts
can get them there ho much faster than tho horses.
It begins to look bad for the cavalry horse.
Tho United States army of the nenr future will
travel extensively on gasoline. There will be few
more heart-breaking Infantry hikes, and there will
bo few more wild cavalry rides, leaving In their
wnke dead und dying horses. Kven field artillery
can be carried by the uuto trucks.
All of this should have been realized before. Ono
of the lusting benefits bf tho punitive expedition
will bo the modernizing of the mllltnry transpor
tation brnnch. Tho uuto truck bus pussed the
Btern test.
For tlio present the nuto truck trains with tho
army in Mexico are not working under any definite
nystem. Tlio organization of the truck train of tho
United Stntes army has not been decided upon.
Neither has tho type of truck to be used in tho
organization been decided upon. Cuptalns und
lieutenants nro busy taking notes as to net mile
age and gasoline requirements; nlso, us to stability
-find reliability of tho different makes of trucks In
the service.
The drivers are a mixed lot. Some uro regular

army enlisted men. detatled to drive the typo of
truck tentatively adopted. The others are chauf
feurs of all sorts, adventurers from all over the
country, college men in search of experience, and
even ex-talcab drivers from New York city. With
some of the trucks under probation are men trom
the factories.
It Is a more picturesque body than any as
semblage of mule skinners. The types are more
varied and the views upon things in general are
more Interesting. Moreover, the army chauffeur
In the aggregate Is naturally more Intelligent (ban
the mule skinner, whose clo-e association with the
mule has given him some of the trails of that noble
animal.
To the average army chauffeur the stolid-looking,
lumbering nuto truck Ik u beautiful and a living
thing.
On tlie road to Namiqulpa I listened to a colored
sergeant of the Ninth cavalry who hud been de
tailed to drive a live-ion truck. He was uddresslng
Ids vehicle.
"Yes, Hetsy, old girl." he was snylng. "Ah knows
that this hero cheup government gasoline ain't tho
proper nourishment for a high-toned lady truck
like you. Hut when we gets to Cornllltas Ah'm go
ing to put some of that nice cool spring water In
your radiator. That'll freshen you up a whole lot,
Hetsy.
"Does you-nll want n little more oil In your bear
lugs, Hetsy? If you does, Jos' suy so. 'Taln't no
trouble at all for me. Ah Jes' thought you might,
because your pretty engine was breathing a little
bard on that last hill. Ah don't want any of them
fresh New York chauffeur a to think you wus com
plaining, Hetsy, becuuso mo and you knows that
you don't complain." '
The colored trooper adjusted some pink and
green ribbon which wus tied to the truck radiator.
The whistle of the truck mnster blow. The ser
geant whirled the crunk, listened sollcltou&ly for
an Instant to his motor, and swung Hetsy Into Hue
with her mates.
One of the difficulties which the captain of nn
uuto truck encounters Is In maintaining dlsciptlno
with a mixed company of civilians and soldiers.
Civilian drivers have their own notions as to how
auto trucks should be driven. It Is tho theory of
the captain that the uuto train should hnvo a per
fect alignment, with the trucks u hundred yards
apart.
The civilian drivers cannot seo the necessity for
this. Some of them want to show thnt their trucks
can travel the fastest. Others Insist thnt their
trucks lie carefully handled. The result Is that tho
cnptuln, fuming Inwurdly, has to be u diplomat
when he Is In command of a mixed train of trucks.
One of these trains stnrted out nt the rate of Vi
tulles an hour. A short distance nut of Columbus
It encountered bad roads. A now truck slowed
down und began to pick tho going.
The cuptaln shot 'cross-country from the reur In
his standard runabout to see what was cutting his
train In two.
"What's the trouble?" ho demanded of tho ci
vilian driver.
"No troublo nt nil," replied tho driver. "But
eight miles is all that I nm going to do with this
loud and over this sort of road. You can go uheud
with those Harney Oldflelds If you wunt to. I'll
catch up with you after half of those trains uro
wrecked."
The cuptaln was a trifle ungry. Ho reminded
the driver that all trains were ordered kept Intact.
It wus no 'cross-country nice. It was a mllltnry
truck train. Tho driver was obdurate, and tho
train hud to slow down to a rensonublo pace. The
driver was right, though very unmllltury. The
loads wnlch tho trucks were carrying were not
needed In a harry. But if he had happened to bo
an unny driver he would
be In tlie guardhouse for
a considerable period for
Insubordination.
More than once tlie army
in Mexico has been forced
Illegally but practically to
discipline some of the ci
vilian drivers. The most
startling Incident of this
vi.-i h,nn..n,.,l to n lniiicli of Now York tuvleufc
drivers who were shipped out to handle u train
made up of a certain uniform make of trucks.
They got HO miles Into Mexico, ami men nci-meu
that tliey did not like the country nt all. They
agreed that the United States government was
foolish to go In at all.
Their spokesman went to the captain and In
formed him that they had decided to go back. They
did not like the food, the water wus not Iced, and
there was no beer In the godforsaken place.
Whereupon tlio captain gave orders to tlie sergeant
of Ids guard. Tho noncommissioned oWcer In
formed the drivers that the first of them who
turned hack to Columbus would be systematically
idiot up.
The drivers protested that they were American
citizens and wanted their rights. The sergeant
listened unmoved as he drew up his squad Into a
convenient place for tlio shooting. The drivers
fhmlly concluded that they were too far away to
consult their attorneys, and tho train proceeded to
Namiqulpa.
Camping out nway from a garrisoned town, the
truck trains take tho same formation that was
used by the emigrant trains when they wero forced
to guard against Indian attacks at night. Tho
trucks ure distributed In n circle, with the cnptnlu's
runnbout, tho cook truck and tho ammunition truck
in tho center. Placed In this formation, tho truck
train Is In a difficult position for a bandit bund to
rush.
No doubt, many n band has been watching those
vnlunhle trains of food and ammunition, longing
to pounce upon them, hut they refrained. A well
ordered truck train could get Into hnttlo formation
In a few minutes, and the Springfield rifles would
bo covering every point of nttack very effectively.
A qunrter of a million dollars In gold was
shipped In with one train, guarded by .10 picked
marksmen. Hundlt bands, knowing of this, prob
ably longed to rush It, but they did not make the
attempt. At night, In Its proper formation, with
Its outposts alert, the well-conducted train should
bo Impossible to surprise. Hut civilian driven are
hard to convince of the necessity for remaining
alert. They will lock their ammunition In the tool
boxes; and, while they are painfully solicitous of
the mechanism of their trucks, they have no re
gard for tho mechanism of tho Springfield rifles
which nro issued to them.
They hnvo no respect for shoulder straps. A
typical Incident was ono near Kspla. The truck
train drew Into the place hot and dusty. Tho news
was spread that there wus u real swimming hole
'JO feet deep In tho place.
Soldier guards and civilian drivers made n dnsh
for It. As they nenred It they heurd a delicious
splashing, but a sentry halted them. "Sorry, hoyB,"
ho said, "but there's an olllcer bathing thero now,
and tho orders nro that nobody Is allowed In till
ho gets through."
A big ex-tnxlcnb driver from New York proceed
ed to peel off Ids army uniform. In another min
ute ho dived Into tho pool with a mighty splash.
He came to tho surface und grinned cheerfully nt
the Indignant expression of the second lieutenant,
outraged at tho fuct thnt his privacy had been dis
turbed, apparently by the enlisted man.
"Oh, that's all right!" shouted the auto driver.
"I don't mind If you nro a little hit dirty. Come on
In. Tho water Is fine."
Hut one of these days the truck train will be sys
tematized. Tho drivers will nil bo enlisted men.
There will bo a fixed into of speed, and tho trucks
will all bo up to determined specifications.
When the truck train Is perfected, the mulo tridn
will go. Also, tho prldo of tho cavalry will bo
trailed In tho gasoline-scented dost of tho uuto
truck train.
(Temperance Lesson.)
True ministry Is In the exercise of
iplrltiuil gifts (Kph. -I :T-ir). Kvery
believer Is a member of Hie bod) of
Christ, and therefore has a dellnlte
uliilstry. Though the gifts lire di
verse, all are equally honorable be
cause they are bestowed, ndmlnlstered
and eiicrglircd by the Holy Spirit,
l.ove alone gives value to the ministry
of any gift.
I. Fill tho Gift With Love (vv. 1).
Just as the body Is dead unless a liv
ing soul abides In and Inspires It, so
Is the gift unless tilled with the spirit
af love. This Is the "more excellent
way" to which Paul makes reference
nt the conclusion of Chapter 11!. In
praising love Haul does not fall Into
the error of criticizing others, not even
his followers, and suggests that even
V may be wanting In this trait. Tho
Corinthians were eager to attain ex--ellence
and to be prominent In wis
Join and philosophy; to understand
the world In which they lived; to bo
scholars and teachers and Improve
and correct society. Paul therefore
shows how vain are such things unless
tilled with the motive of love, (t) Tho
gift of tongues. The saints In the
church nt Corinth seem to have been
particularly gifted In this direction,
and to huve been proud of It, (Ch. 11 :
IM!!!) mid eager to outstrip the others.
Paul 'ells them that such boasting
amount! to Utile. The grace of love
Is a far more excellent way. (1!) Tho
gift of prophecy. Tlie New Testament
prophet was a fortb-teller, not a teller
of the future. To be n fortb-teller wus
a thing to lie coveted and admired, but
not unless accompanied by love. (II)
Miracle working. A man can have
this In the most powerful form con
ceivable, and yet If ho has not love,
he Is nothing.
II. Lqve Is Known by Its Mani
festations (vv. -1-7). Having shown tho
absolute necessity of love Paul shows
how we tuny recognize It. The behav
ior of love can be seen anil known.
Paul set for us 15 munlfestutlons. (1)
l.ove sulTorclh long. I.ove Is no pass
ing emotion, but n fixed thought. (1!)
It Is kind. Kindness In action, lovo
at work. (!) Love envleth not. It
does not grow out or selfishness, for
selfishness 1st tho very opposite of love.
() l.ove vaunteth not Itself, does not
climb to tho housetops to proclaim Its
glory. (5) Is not puffed up. Thero Is
no Inflation, like n soap bubble, to
dazzle tho eye. (0) Does not bohnvo
Itself unseemly, thnt Is without dell
ency of feeling. Unseemly conduct
grows from pride and seklshness,
whereus love Is the foundation of true
courtesy. (7) Seeketh not her own. Is
not looking out for self first of nil. (8)
Is not enslly provoked ; good tempered,
not irrltnble. To lose one's temper la
a dnngerous evil. The evil In nt so
much In the temper but In our failure
to control It. (0) Thlnketh no evil.
PutB tho best construction upon the
acts of others, making all possible al
lowances. (10) Hejolceth not In Ini
quity. (11) Hejolceth In the truth, thut
Is, Is In sympnthy with all thnt Is true.
(12) Beareth all things; endureth
hardships and trials for the working
out of the kingdom. (13) Bellevetli all
things; not credulous but putting the
best construction upon tho words ol
others, and having faith in the final
outcome of every good cause. (14)
Hpeth all things; Is not discouraged
in the dark and shadowy days, tia
Endureth all things ; it goes on believ
ing and hoping to tho end; no obstacle
can stop it. Surely such a catalogue
of the marks of love is enough to
make us all pause and meditate.
III. Tha Permanence of Life (vt.
8-13). The word "falleth" here denote
falling to the sense of cessation, nnd
love Is contrasted with three typical
but parsing forms of Christian ex
pression. (I) "Prophecies ;" not the
things prophesied but tho gift or net
of prophesying (v. 3) which at best
can only partially express God's word.
Prophecy will puss away In tho fuller
vision nnd wider Unowledgo of God
"Who is love." (2) "Tongues." Tho
tlmo will como when they will not bo
needod as u sign nor to enable us to
express our varied emotions. Tho di
vinely Inspired prophecies tell hut a
purt of what Is yet to be. (3) "Knowl
edge." It shall be done away In tho
fuller knowledge of tho eternal world
as tho light of tho stars vnnlsh heforo
tho rising sun. When thut which Is
perfect Is come theso lights will be
seen to ho only llko tho separate stones
of a quarry which can only bo fully
understood when th whole building
Mandi beforo us In Its completion.
Pnul gives an illustration of this truth
from the familiar case of tho growing
child (vv. 11, 12). In conclusion (v.
13) faith, hope, lovo abldcth, threo
graces, Imperishable and Immortal.
"IIopo is a fountain; faith draws the
water and drinks ; lovo distributes tho
water to others," Dr. J. II. Jovvctt. But
tho grentest of theso Is love, (a) Lovo
Is greater In Its nature. It brings us
closer to God, making us partakers of
his nature. It Is tho ono thing with
out which faith and hope are of little
avail, (b) It is powerful as an In
fluence for good and tho strongest mo
