i e § g e e British Monsters Send Deadly Fire Into Germaris. CAPTURE MANY PRISONERS. Queer War Machines Even Crossed Ypres Canal In Their Drive on the -Enemy Positions. In - Flanders. Strength of the Giant Turtles Cre- ates Amazement. With the British Armies In the Field. —British tanks so bedaubed with mud ~ and slime from Flanders quagmires that they look like moving mountains are spreading terror among the Ger- mans, The gigantic mud turtles lum- ber and creep though the bogs, spitting red flames from their mud’incrusted guns and creating panic wherever they operate. One lone cnnk reported recently the capture of 600 Germans near St. Julien. While wallowing along towhrd the enemy line the monster encountered one of its kind stopped by a direct hit from a German anti-tank gun. The uninjured tank charged the gun and literally mashed it out of commission. Hight Germans were captured here and turned back to the advancing British infantry. ‘The same tank, creeping along, aided in the capture of Pommern redoubt and Pommern castle. It crossed the ‘P‘D cut marking the redoubt and sent word back that it was clear of the en- emy. Meanwhile another tank crashed its way through the castle defenses, while the Germans fled precipitately, Munclng infantry found the defend- ers massed in the redoubt position which the first tank had cleared. More tanks were summoned. Four alid roaring over the redoubt and took it instanter, the Germans surrendering. 'All prisoners frankly confessed their panic at the steel monsters. COrossing of the Ypres canal by these tanks—under constant shell fire and gas clouds—was one of the great feats of the war. But the secret of how it was done will not be told untfl the war is oyer. The monstrous strength of the giant turtles creates constant amazement. One tank encountered a huge motor- lorry stuck in a ditch. It stopped and obligingly hitched the front axles on a big chain. Then it lumbered ahead. There was a crash and yells of dismay from the lorry driver. The tank bhad pulled out the front wheels, the motor and part of the chassis. One other tank, running without lights, crashed into a railway engine, knocking it off the track. The tank's crew, not a bit dismayed, promptly went over and pushed the engine back the rails again, unflh.:u off puff- contentedly. British Tommies have named the monsters curiously. One encounters such names as Gog, Ariadne, Beelze- bub, Bloodstone, Black Arrow, Bally- hackle, Coquette, Crusader and Gon- dolier. BIRD BURNS FARMER’S BARN. Flies With Blazing Twig Into the Hay- loft. Middle River, Minn.—Fire destroyed e barn of Willilam Huff, a farmer living nine miles south of here. Mr. uff declared that the fire was caused by a bird which carried a twig, one end of which was aglow, into the hayloft. Not far,from the, barn a brush, fire was bifning.

In a w moments the barn was afire. Two tluablo horses were burned and’ the {lding destroyed. ! \ 'CORK LEG. BARS RECRUIT. Oklahoma Farmer Walks Rifty Miles In Effort to Enli®. Muskogee. Okla.—Belleving that the use of a cork leg should not prevent him from serving his country, John anklin walked more than fifty miles *from a farm near Wilburton to this city to apply for enlistment in the Unit- ed States marine corps. Franklin had spent two months plow- ing the fields previous to his long walk and supported himself on the hike by working at odd jobs along the way. He surprised the marine corps medical examiner by walkirg without the slight- est sign of lameness. Although Franklin expressed the opinion that his cork leg should be con- sidered a handy life preserver in case of submarine attack, he was not ac- cepted. Eagle to Scream Defiance at Germans. -Helena, Mont.—When the boys of the "‘mond Montana *“go over the top” in! - tanders or on the Russian front a live Montana eagle will go with them, screaming defiance to Germans.
