Captain Sweeny, American, Who Single Handed Captured Machine Gun and 8ix Germans, Will Assist Ordnance Department of This Country Prepar- ing Tanks For Service. Washington.—The French infantry that won so much ground in the Cham- pagne region advanced as a supporting force to numerous batterles of cater- pillar tractors, or “tanks,” hoglike in appearance, that crept forward with a persistency which the German troops remaining in their shell battered trenches could not check and which assured the poilus of protection as they dug in upon their advanced lines, So that an American army can know about these tanks’if sent abroad Cap- tain Charles Sweeny, a native of Spo- kane, Wash.,, and a member of the Foreign legion of the French army, i8 now in this city, where he will as- sist ordnance experts in preparing sim- ilar land cruisers for service. He re- turneq recently from France. Captain Sweeney is a West Pointer, but when the tighting began he was found in the French army. He started as a private in the infantry. He want- ed to be in the thick of it, so chose that branch of the service and during his campaigning was in many battles. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Hounor for valor and pro- moted to lieutenant when, single hand- ed, he captured a machine gun and six Germans. . Very little has been written in’this or any country regarding the French tanks. The first few used by the French army went into action about the same time the British put theirs in the fleld. It was not until the great offensive began this spring that the poilus trotted forward in support of great numbers of their tanks, “zan- zans,” as they called them. The best way to describe a French tank is to compare it with a giant hog, kneeling so that its short legs cannot be seen, and creeping forward as it roots in the ground. A rain of lead pours from its sides as it proceeds, and beayier shot.apd shell are showered upon any position where machine guns of the Germans may remain in action as it straddles the enemy trench. Only by landing a shell directly upon a tank can it be put out of commission. Bullets from German rapid firers and the infantry rifles are powerless. Hand grenades do it no damage. Exactly bow the French get the tanks to their first line trenches in RAILROAD TIME TABLES MPIS.. %.F\Rhm &MAN. No. 12—Arrives........9:456 A. M. Northbound No. 11—Leaves.........1:30 P. M.

The well trained mechanicians and ri- flemen are ready when it is time to start, and upon the signal the tank gets into action. It straddles trenches, crushes through barbed wire and rakes the foe with guns. COLLEGE GIRLS READY. Western Women Apply For Work In Munition Factories.

Hoover Potato Planter For " Rent We had fully decided not to rent a potato planter this year, but as there ure quite a few different com- munities that have not seen the work done by the HOOVER planter, we have decided to rent one out to the farmers in the different sections where there is not now a Hoover Planter. The farmers on Route 2 and the Town of Frohn should call up Stanley Smith about his planter and those near Turtle River should call Mr. Skrivseth or Mr. Goodmanson I am s8ure they could make arrangements to do your planting. If you are not tributary - to these men, call us up and we will try to make arrangements to rent you the one from the store here.
