“ LIGHT TANKS

ln BEHIND THE BRITISH DINES IN
ie PRANCE, Sept. 25 (by mail).- Tanks,
8 cavalry and armored motor cars have :•
had a larger part In the recent fight- •:
Ing on (he western front than ever
before in the war. They have added j:
greatly to the driving weight and :•
speed of assault of the modern in- •:
tensive attack, and their use has been •?
developed tremendously by the Brit
ish command since last year. -f
j +•
The modern tank has twice thr*
speed of the earlier type, and more
than twice the radius of action. In- ;•
fantry is practically powerless against :’f
them. If infantry attempts to rush y
I an oncoming tank they are machine- :j:
gunned in the open. If they stay in
their trenches the tank straddles the v
line and enfilades them with direct
| short-range fire; If they retreat to the |;j
! shell holes or dug-outs the tank him- ;j:
I hers along right over them, crushing
them into tin* ground and caving in
I the dug-outs. j:::
j The light, high-speed tanks known
'‘whippets" are a development of
this year. They are killing machines,;'
, pure* and simple, for they can bear|^
down upon fortified points and bat •;•
teries at such speed that there is lit
tie. (hauee of getting the guns or men
away in time. Tln*ir reserve of fuel
enables them to remain in a lion for
a full day without refilling
Moreover, the advance of the whip
pets is (juiekly followed by the so :•
called " apply-' tank?, which can •:
cross any ground, bringing up reserve!;:

Aroused Over
Defeats of Army
tjf; i NKAV YORK, Oct. 1* -Systematic
efforts uf the German -press to ex •
plain to the German people that the <
t;': retreat of the German armies on the
•ji; western front in July and August was
part of a strategic plan to save as |
many German soldiers' lives as pos
it? slide while indicting as heavy losses
on the allied troops apparently did
— not have the desire detfect.
_ The Cologne Gazette has found it ,
necessary to admonish the German (
people in display type to keep their <
j heads erect and not to indulge in pes- '
| simistic contemplations. "In view of J
the uninterruptedly close connection (
j with the home land," says the Cologne i
; paper, "such feelings may influence i
■ the morale of our troops. Our high '
! army command recently admitted t
frankly that south of the Somme on;
I August X we suffered defeat. One I
j would think that at home would be 1
found a correct and thankful appro .
! elation of this truthful Statement Un
~ j fortunately, in many Instances that *
_ was not tie case. Rumors again were .
j circulated which emanated from the|
most pessimistic sources and pictured I
I our general condition in dark colors."
