The United

port, aeroplane and motorcycle
drivers. Trained competent
men are needed, men who can take care
of the machines, men who know how to keep
them in service. Any piece of motor driven machinery
the government owns or will own must be in
service. Preference will be given to trained men. No
matter what service the Army is doing it must be fed. If it is
on the firing line it will need thousands of rounds of ammunition.
The importance of trained men is very evident. Food and ammunition
must be delivered regularly. Then too, the army must often be transported.
