Motor power used by French gunners at Montauban maneuvers
French gunners use motor traction to move heavy artillery across fields and obstacles. The tractor tires spread behind cannons form rails to prevent sinking as guns recoil after firing. Col. Samuel W. Miller of the US Army arrived from Breslau to study musketry and praised French endurance. Ambulances treated 67 men from a 60,000 strong southern army over three days of field work.

Council weighs lumber bids and militia funding
A city council meeting discussed rerouting a street car line and the high cost of bridge timber. The Petrich-Saur bid may be enforced at $3,009.25, or the city may buy lumber at the lowest available price, with legal questions over a telephoned notice. A plan to fund four militia companies with $2,400 yearly faces likely failure.
