New Britain Lumber & Coal Co. sponsible for British Tanks London, Dec. 13, (Correspondence of the Associated Press)—No one man or one department of the British gov- ernment can take credit for “invent- ing” the tanks,—they came into being as the result of a long period of study and co-ordinated effort by many men acting under three separate depart- ments, the War Office, the Admiralty, and the Mimistry of Munitions. In the awtumn of 1914 when the belligerents on the Western front had settled down to trench warfare, it be- came obvious that some means of car- rying the danger of well-directed and well-protected machine-gun fire from the German trenches must be discov- ered if the English infantry was to carry out assaults with success. One of the first proposals put for- ward was for a machine 100 feet long, 4¢ feet high and 80 feet wide, weighing some 300 tons, propelled by an 800 horse-power engine, and with driving wheels 40 feet in diameter. An- other carly suggestion, and the one which led most directly to the tanks, was made by Colonel Swinton in Oc- tober, 1914, to build armored cars on a tractor system, an American invention. Experiments with various tractors were made on behalf of the War Of- fice and by a small expert committee of the Admiralty under Winston Churchill, then First Lord. Through the medium of the Committee of Im- prial Defense the various efforts for the solution of the problem were co- ordinated and certain conditions were laid down which had to be fulfilled by | the proposea- car. From among the numerous lypes of { tractor inspected the most satisfactory was found to be a caterpillar with an endless self-laid track, over which in- ternal driving wheels could be pro- ‘pelled by the engines. In February, 1916, the first tank { was completed and taken down toja { farm near London. Here pits, trenches | and ramparts had been constructed. | The tests were so satisfactory that an i order was given on the spot for 100 macHines. The Ministry of Munitions | became responsible for the speediest l possible construction of the order. Ma,nv improvements were made during ‘lhxs period of construction and the first delivery was made in July, 1916. The new machines were of two | slightly difterent types. One was called the male type, and was armed with two Hotchkiss quickfirers and a \subsmmn- machine-gun | These were designed for dealing at { close quarters with the concrete em- | pi | The other or female type, armed only with machine guns and was more suitable for dealing with machine gun personnel and riflcmen. At the end of July, 1916, the tanks and their c had become so profi- cient that it was possible to hold two exnibition com:bats over a prepared trench system reproducing a line of German defenses. . At the end of August, fifty {'\were loaded at night and sent to | France. When delivered in France, | the tanks only travelled at night, and | during the day were covered with a | huge tarpaulin and strictly guarded. The first tanks were all paintd in camouflage style for purposes of con- cealment, and each tank bad its own name, like a ship. A Wwholc series of them were named after various drinks, such as Cafee-au-Lait, Chartreuse, Chablis, Cognac, Champagne, Creme- de-Menthe. Another series bore names of Scotch clans,—Clan Cameron, Clan Ruthven, Clan Gordon, Clan McTavish. The tanks first went into action in that perticn of the Somme offensive which began on September 15. The object was to drive the Germuns out of some high ground running east and south of Thiepval. The effect was as exhilarating on the British troops as it was dumbfounding to the Germars. It is recorded that many of the British infantrymen were so overcome with laughter at their ungainly antics that they were scarcely able to keep .up with the procession. There is no doubt that the element of surprise had much to do with the extraordinary success of the tanks on their first appearance. But their achievements proved that they had more solid qualities than the gift of surprise. Later in the year tanks were sent out to Egypt and were in action at Gaza. as tanks SWISS PATRIOT. Berne, Dec. 12.—(Corespondence). —A Swiss patriot is providing some amusement by his original way of ad- vertising his neutrality. The outer walls of his house are decorated with sentatives of the nations at war. King George, the German Emperor, President Poincare, the Sultan, the Emperor of Austria, and President Wilson are all to be seen in intimate neighborliness. BREAD SLICES. Paris, Dec. —Slices of bread found on board the Zeppelin brought down at Bournonne- les-Bains were shown at a meeting of the Academy of Agriculture. .Some were grey in cclor, and covered with lard, these were for the men on board. The officers had bread much whiter and honey to spread on it. The offi- cers’ bread contained ten per cent. of Java rice which, it was stated, must have reached Germany through Hol- land.
