Peonle Won't Stand Il.

SO far as the increase OF
expenditure under Democratic rule rep
resents honest measures In the dlrec-
ton of military preparedness for ma
tlonal defense there will not be grum-
bling in any patriotic quarter. The peO-
pie are ready to stand the cost with
entire satisfaction and to pay the bills
with alacrity. But this readiness does
not cover that continued and irereas-
ingly prOfligate waste Of money in Law
ish appropriations for other and un-
necessary purposes. There is a stern
reckoning ahead for the party violating
year after year the promises on which
1t attained to power, wasting in profit
gate expenditure money wrung from
the people by oppressive taxation and
keeping taxes high and reducing the
purchasing power Of their toll.
The people still demand u return to
that simplicity and economy which be-
fits a Democratic government.-New

FIGHT IN PAIRS
Known as Males and Females, Says
Officer Of Nova Scotia
Battalion.

K%ingsport, N. S.-A description of
the operation of British tanks" was
given by Lieut.. Harry w. Hlltz of the
Nova Scotia battalion on his arrival
here.
'There are two types of tanks,
known as the male and female tank"
he said. "They fight in pairs, a male
and a female. The male tank carries
two heavy guns and six machine guns
and the female has two heavy guns
and five machine guns.
'They certainly proved a great sur
prise to the Germans, and 1 might add
to us as well, as they came numbering
along during the fight for C%ourcelette.
They Of course did better work then
than they have accomplished since, for
the Germans have become accustomed
to them and know better now how to
fight back. Nothing but a direct hit
by a heavy shell will damage them in
the least"
Lieutenant Hiltz a y the new Brit
ish war machine travels about two or
three miles an hour and when it comes
to a trench the front part draws up
after the manner of a caterpillar at
tempting to get over an obstacle. At
night when the tanks are used a white
tape is run out ahead from the ma
chine and serves as a guide for it.
