latter, according to dispatches from the front, are proving a most iormidable weapon and are breaking through at points as the Germans feel for the weaker spots in the Fregph lines.

* The big tanks are devastating steel fortresses with such heavy

The armament of the tanks is such that they can spit death in every direction as they roar along, their open exhausts adding to the din of battle. Here is a British description of the tanks: : They carry either two six-pound-ers and a small Howitzer, or a field gun and seven machine guns; or 11 machine guns. They have a crew of 15.

The tanks have 1000-horsepower engines and consume six gallons of gasoline a mile. - They can carry 300 gallons of fuel, so that their range is 50 miles.

If they get through, the heavilyarmed motorcycle units race miles ahead of the main advance to ravage the countryside and seize strategic points such as railway stations, telephone systems and bridges.
