Reporting a grand total of $5,138.50 to date and a total of $2,604 for the second day’s results, the Travelers Aid Soclety campaign moved strongly toward its goal of $20,000, at the sec- ond report meeting yesterday at the Hotel Burlington. The day’s work of. the solicitors was the best reported so far, the women again demonstrating their ability by increasing their lead over the men. Team No. 2, led by Mrs. Herbert ‘Woolley, carried high honors, bringing in $308; team No. 4, Mrs. Alexander Columbus, captain, was a close second, and team No. 3, Mrs. James B. Wool- nough, captain, was third. The next report meeting will be held at the Bur- lington at 12:30 o'clock Monday, when Senator Borah will be the principal speaker. One fact brought out at the meeting was that the present total of $5,138.50 represents the subscriptions of only about 300 givers, which means that the citizens of Washington are making an average contribution of nearly $20. Sherard Ewing, general director of the National Association of Travelers Aid Societies in the United States, the principal speaker at the second report meeting, brought out the fact that Washington was a pivotal city in the country-wide service, and viewed the outcome of the drive with optimism. Arthur C. Moses, president of the Washington Travelers Ald, praised the volunteer workers who are giving | their time and sald that he hoped the public would realize how difficult it | was for them to reach every friend of | the Travelers Aid, and that many con- | tributions would be sent direct to| campaign headquarters, 1405 F' street. | Tnvocation was by Rev.

AIR NAVIGATION PACT OF AMERICAS BACKED | TUnion's Governing Board Approves Convention Regulating Flights in Western Hemisphere.

Orders have been issued by the War Department for a thorough study to determine the extent to which auto- motive power should be substituted for horses add mules in the transpor- tation of military ordnance and sup- plies of all kinds. From several stand- points it is conceded that such re- placement seems desirable. For over- seas movements animal transports are difficult t, obtain quickly. The cost of maintenance throughout the year of the full allowance of anim tor a given unit can be decreased by the use of the reduced amount of motor transportation needed for normal peace-time duty at posts. ‘While these are the desirable fea- tures, other important factors enter into the consideration of the subject, such as the nature of probable theaters of operations, the numbers and types of commercial vehicles obtainable without delay in an emer- gency, types to be used (light trucks, heavy trucks, tractors, trailers) and the distribution throughout the coun- try of various makes and types of motor vehicles suitable for Army use. All of these questions must be given careful consideration before a conclu- slon can be reached as to the extent to which motors can replace animals. Such a study will involve the activ- ities of practically every branch and service of the Army and will be com- mensurate in scope to the investiga- tions and experiments indicated to be in progress in some foreign armies. o Tablet to Be Unveiled.
