the White motor trucks ordered for use

some time to come owing to a rush

commission’s auto truck operations
during the past year or two disclosed
that they are of invaluable assistanee
from the utiltnrian as well as the
economical standpoints in all branches
of road work.
As a delay of ninety days In delivery
will mean that the trucks cannot he

Ing A. I’olet, Secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday. The
message was sent from Washington
July -S and states as follows:
Your telegram about removal of
troops from Davis to St Michael pre
rented to the Secretary of War per

now in command of Western Depart

'rite tone of the message indicates
that the decision to remove the troops
is not as much a cut and dried affair
as the earlier messages relating there
to suggested. The statement that
General Morlson has been replaced in
the command M the Western Army
Department by General Liggett also
suggests that perhaps the remarkably
retiring official who recommended the
abandonment of tho post may have
overreached his authority a trifle.
Judge Wickcrsham’s mesage also Indi

Intends to take the matter up with

to hope that the recommendation of
the seclusion loving Morrison may be
circumvented.
