Behind the British Lines In France 1
Tanks, cavalry and armored motor
cars have had a larager part in the
recent fighting on the Western front
than ever before in the war. They
have added greatly to the driving
weight and speed of assault of the
modern intensive attack, and their
use has been developed tremend- j
ously by the British command since
last year.
The modern tank has twice the
speed of the earlier type, and more
than twice the radius of action In
fantry is practically powerless
against them. If infantry attempts
to rush an oncoming tank, they are
machine-gunned in the open. If they
stav in their trenches, the tank strad
dles the line and enfilades them with
direct short-range fire; if they re
treat to the shellholes or dugouts,
the tank lumbers along right over
them, crushing them into the ground
and caving in the dugouts.
The light high-speed tanks known
as “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 a speed that there is
litle chance of getting the guns or
men away in time. Their reserve
of fuel enables them to remain in
action for a full day without re
filling.
Moreover, the advance of the
whippets is quickly followed by the
soealled “supply tanks,” which can
cross any ground, bringing up re
serve supplies of gasoline and ammu
nition.
The armored motor-cars are nec
essarily limited in the radius of
action, owing to the fact that they
most stick to the roads, but their
great speed makes them very useful
in pursuit, and they have a faculty
of getting well back behind the
enemy front and doing endless dam
age by taking command of a vital
road junction and preventing the
escape of enemy guns and transport.
Possibilities of infinte adventure are
open to the commanders of such de
tached units.
War is an ugly thing, but a Ger
man peace is uglier—
CHAPLAINS TRAVEl
PARIS.—Airplanes anil tanks are
being used as vulunteer chaplains
and field secretaries wih the Knights
of Columbus, to serve the American
soldiers over here.
Two chaplains, the Rev. John
Moran, of Eugene, Ore., and the Rev.
John Sullivan, of Tuckahoe, N. Y.,
were the first priests to make their
rounds by the air route- The Rev.
Sullivan uses airplanes several times
a week and thus is able to visit field
hospitals within a radius of 200
miles of his camp.
Airplane transporation was used
by the Rev. Moran for the first time
when he received two calls to say
field masses on Sunday morning.
The call came from villages fifty
miles apart where troops were billet
ed. An aviation pilot solved the
problem for Chaplain Moran by offer
ing to take him to both places and
he went. The result was a field
mass at one village at 6 o’clock in
the morning and at another mass
in the village fifty miles farther
at 7:30 a. m.
The Rev. Edwin O’Hara, rector
of the Cathedral at Portland, a vol
unteer chaplain for the Knights of
Columbus used a tank to fulfill
an engagement to say mass to dis
tant troops and a secretary went
with him to supply the soldiers with
boxing gloves and baseball materia!
for use after the services.

ANCHORAGE.—Members of the!
special federal commission appointed
jy Secretary of the Interior Frank
in K. Lane to investigate the coa'
■esources of the Anchorage district
ire making a thorough inspection

ibout forty miles north of Anchor-'
tge. The memebrs of the commis
sion are E. O. McCormick, of San

man ; George Watkins Evans, of the
Bureau of Mines, University of
Washington, Seattle; George C. Mc

aney. geologist, of Chicago. They
are accompanied by Theodore
Chapin, of the United States Geo

The commission, after an exhaust
ive study of the extent ar.d nature
of the coal deposits, the character
of present development and the
mining possibilities of the immediate
future, will report to the secretary
of the interior. Members of the
commission expect their task here
will require several weeks.
Two coal mines, one at Eska and
the other at Chickaloon, are worked
by the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion- Heretofore, the product of
these mines has been used only by
the engineering commission as fuel
in the buildings, shops and plants
necessitated by the construction and
operation of the government rail
road. Now the engineering commis
sion has been authorized by presi
dential proclamation to sell in either
Anchorage or other Alaska towns
any coal from the government mines
that remains after the needs of the
engineering commission are supplied
Dr. Sutherland had a wire frorr
Governor Riggs, in which he statec
that he had instructed the healtl
authorities at Cordova to carefull}
examine everyone leaving that plact
or passing through bound for the
Interior. The governor commend:
the action taken by the Fairbank;

antine.
So long as the boys are at thj
front, difficulties are to be subdued
