Walter Christie at Linden, offered him $650,000 for the machine. picks it up with claws as an eagle would grasp its prey. By WILLIAM A. KINNE¥ LINDEN, N. J, May 10—A for- €ign nation, says J. Walter Chais- tie, has offered him $650,000 for the new ‘flying tank” he is com- pleting, supplementing the cash offer with the statement: “If wve can't buy it, we'll steal it.” £ Christie, the white-haired inven- tor whose name has been practi- cally synonymous with the devel- opment of war tanks, disclosed that the offer was made by a repre- sentative of a European power. The $650,000 price is the sum of two offers, Christle said. The first one of $150,000, offered in the nature of a binder was made soon after work on the machine be- gan. Overtures Made The tentative overtures, the in- ventor asserted, were made by an accredited commercial representa- tive of a European nation, whose armament in recent years has be- tome a mystery in the Eastern Hemisphere. No agreement was reached dur- ing the first discussion. Recently, however, Wwith the tank mnearing completion, the representative re- turned to Christie’s laboratory to increase the offer to a half-mil- lion. No Agreement Again no agreement was reachgd, according to Ohristie, but the rep- resentative has returned to his country to seek the $500,000 ap- propriation necessary to purchase | the tank and the secret of its design. Christie hasn‘t decided whether the third meeting will mean an agreement. He was approached once before by the same govern- ment, he said, for the rights to one of his earlier tanks, a type which is now in use in the Unit- ed States Army. On that occasion he told the negotiator that if the War De- partment at Washington was not interested in the tank he might bave first call on it for his oy~ ernment. This time Christie would like Qo do the same thing with his néw “flying tank” but he is not certqn that he will Offer Discussing ~ the foreign offer Christie cited three other Jersey inventors—Joseph Holland, Hudson Maxim, and Col, Tsgac Lewis all of whom he knew. He pointed out that all three had to go abroad with their inventions before their native country gave them recognition. As yet there have been fers for the tank or officia quiries from the United States War Department, The machine, Christie says, is to be capable of a road speed of 110 miles per hour, and rough terrain speed of 70 miles an hour. Weighs Four Tons Christie’s new tank ‘is made light —it weighs only four tons—to fa- cilitate the transportation by air. The tank's wings will be a scpar- ate unit—an airplane—carrying pi- lot and observer, but vtonstructed in such & way as to enable it' to dettle down on the tank, and pick N. J. Christie, shown standing beside the tank looking cver the plans, says a foreign nation has Sketches show hew it will travel and be carried by a plane which it up in iron claws just as an ieagle might pick up its prey. The tank is equipped wilh pneu- matic tires for highway travel and a caterpillar belt for rough going. | It will house a .75 mm. field gun, | carry four cavalrymen, and it will not lose its mobility in mud. It will also float, the inventor said. NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the Commissioner's Court for. the Territory of Alaska, Division Number One. Before CHAS.
