THE U.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILIw TAUT DISPATCH RIDERS-ANB WHY. It Ua3 sometimes t>een said, with rancK truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind. .nd tie .military motor-cyclist stakes his lile; very often, apon the reliability of his mount. Hers is what Sergeant It. E.
