MOTOR CARS
I EFFECTIVE ON
BATTEFRONT
WITH TIIK FRKNCH ARM IKS,
Sept. 25 (by mail) The armored cat
erpillar motor car or "tank." which is
now in high favor as an engine of
assault against tin* enemies' lines, al
most. fell into discredit in Franco in
j 11*17. 'Hu* most successful type has
been the new and lighter car with a
‘ swinging turret, from which an inch!
and a half caliber cannon or machine
i gun can lire in any direction.
While* the British were iiianufactur-•
ing their immense, heavy "tanks," the
French, without knowing of the work
their allies wen* doing, experimented
with lighter cars, one type* weighing
thirteen tons and another twenty-three
tons. The thirteen ton c ars made their
: appearin' »• in April. 11*17, taking part
! in I he French offensive between
Reims and the* A ism*, as an experi
ment.
! The losses appeared to be excessive,
j and the repent spread that they
caught fire every time they were hit
J by a projectile. Tile* death of Com
r mandant Bossut while loading an as
t sault with one of the cars created a
| i profound impression.
Two later operations, however,
modified military opinion regarding
them and they proved to be most of*
' feet i ve.
During the winter other experiments
were made, and toward the last of
May. BBS. the* light "tanks" made*
their appearance on tin* battlefield in
greater numbers. They were assigned
to the* defense of the* forest of Villers
Cotterets when tin* Hermans made
their rush between Soissons and
Kheims During the first fifteen days
of .Dun* they made more than twenty
counter-attacks and kept the forest
dear of the enemy. Tin* medium
weight cars in tin* meantime had
| helped tin* Americ ans take Cantign>
Their first spectacular feat was in
| mobilizing in twelve* hours south of j
Montdidier to precede tin* infantry in j
a successful counter attack that j
stopped tin* advanc e of the Herman** j
^ on the Montdidier-Noyen line
These and subsequent successes
convinced the French military au
thorities that the light "tank" wini
an effective and efficient arm.

Airplanes for
Use of Surgeons
at the Front
_ i
PARIS, Oet. IX. Surgeons of the*
French army probably soon will be
carried in airplanes to preset sta
lions behind the tiring line when their ]
services are urgently needed. Four j
surgical airplanes are now being com
pleted for this us*- on the battlefields. "
The planes will capable of lifting
three men a pilot, a surgeon and an
X-ray operator together with radio-j
graph, surgical instruments and a
small folding table in aluminum. They
will have a speed of from forty five'
to seventy miles an hour, which will |
enable* them to reach, for example,;
Noyon to Paris in an hour, whereas'
the* lightest surgical motor takes half,
a day.

Men With Best
Teeth Hail from
Mountain States
(’AMI* MOW IS, Oct. IV Draff reg "
istrants called her** from Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Ctah. Ne
vada. New Mexico and other inland
states have better teeth than men
from the coast states of Washington.
Oregon and California, according to
data just compiled hv Colonel C \{
Wolven. chief of the dental corps at
this camp.
"Kighty five per cent of all draft I
men brought here need dental atten j
lion, and get it." said Colonel Wolven.
"Ninety per cent of tie- men rrom tin* j
three coast states need work, how
ever, against eighty per cent of those
coming from interior states."
No reason for 0 in the «
condition of the teeth of men from
different sections has been given. One
theory is that there is more lime and
mineral in the water of the inland
states and another that the shifting
population of the large coast cities i
may cause men to become more ne
glectful than those living at jierman
ent homes.
