flrit motor truck to start across the
eontiaent ladsn with military t applies
en route from Australia to
France, left the Go'.den Gat? July 17
for New York via the Lincoln Highway.
The ocean to ocean haul is being
made by a^Maxwell truck In cooperation
a 1th army aulhoritiea of
the United States government, and is
laid out on a schedule that w ill convey
the load from coast to cccrt at
the rate of more than luO miles a
day?the time ordinarily made by
passenger automobile tourisu.
With Kay Mc.Namara. Maxwell
road engineer, at the wheel. th? truck
took a ton of suppiiea froin an Aul
trallan liner at the San Francisco
wharves, was ferried arrow the bay
to Oakland .and started on Its first
day's run to Sacramento, California
?1J7 miles.
As the distance from San Francisco
to New York hy speedometer r >cord
is 34IS.9 miles, every possible
effort will be made to put the truck
over the highway route In th? slim-test
possible running time, and to establish
a transcontinental -eco.d fa

By this trip, a Detroit made truck
will for the first time serve an
