BRITISH IN SCRAMBLE
FOR CREDIT FOR TANKS
Inventor Is Silent as Churchill's
and SWintOn's Friends Talk.

London, Sept. 10. While friends are
claiming for Winston Spencer Church
i'll, former First Lord OF the Admiralty,
and Colonel Swinton the credit for the
discovery of the tanks" which played
such an important part in the recent
advance on the Sommc front. the orig
inal inventor remains undisclosed, but,
according to a reliable authority, the
new war machine is an adaptation of
the caterpillar tractor.
This authority says the invention
was brought to the attention of the
War Office early in the war. Great
britain declined to finance the project
unless the machines were manufactured
in England.
The man who brought the plans TO
England declines to permit the use of
his name, declaring that for business
reasons he does not desire to dim the
glory Of those claiming the credit. He
SAYS he has plans for a tractor which
will probably be more effective than the
tanks"
These armored ships on land are
mounted on four caterpillar tractors,
which not only make the machine IN
capable of being capsized but enable 1t
to cross bitches. The idea OF using a
caterpillar tractor has been worked on
for the last ten years and the prob
lem was solved finally by equipping the
machine with engines OF such tremen-
dous horsepower that they are able to
pull the heaviest harvesting machines
and gang ploughs over extremely
ground

ONE.EYED ACTRESSES
SUIT FOUGHT BY BROKER
Winkelman Says He Did Not
Promise to Wed.

Miss Minnie Fels, who uses the stage
name of Theo Bell. insists that Louis
l.. Winkelman, a stock broker at "A
Broad Street, made several promises
to marry her, one as late as January
last, and now she is suing for $4,000
in the Supreme Court, because, she
says, the broker did not make good his
promise. Winkelman has made vigor-
Gus denial of the young woman's allie
cations, which includes charge that
in the course OF her eight years of ac-
quaintance with the defendant she has
lost the sight Of an eye.
Miss Bell, who has appeared in the
chorus of several Broadway shows, was
sixteen years old when she first met
Winkelman. She is now twenty-four.
Winkelman's explanation of the lost
sight of one of Miss Bells eyes is that
three years ago, while on an automo-
bile trip, she and her companions were
caught in q rainstorm and the dye
from her hat ran into her eye and de-
stroyed il.
Winkelman says in answer TO the
young woman's suit that her statements
are without truth and made with a
view to inducing him to pay her money
to avoid the notoriety of the breach Of
promise suit, which is not his inten-
tion.
Through his attorney the broker will
ask the court to-day to yacate an order
which Miss Bell obtained to examine
him as TO his assets and ability to pay
possible judgment. lie also will ask
that the allegation about the chorus
girl losing her eye be stricken from
the complaint as not being pertinent TO
the alleged breach of promise.

"If sympathetic strike is ordered II

will settle everything. The only effect
Of a sympathetic strike will be to
hasten the end of the traction strike.
If there should be no sympathetic
strike we will win anyway, only 1t Will
take longer for the company to realize
that it is beaten
SO william b. Fitzgerald, leader of
the striking car men. reviewed the
strike situation last night.
As to the scope of a sympathetic
strike and the possibility Of one re-
sulting, Fitzgerald had nothing to say,
referring all questions to Hugh Frayne,
chairman of the committee in charge.
"A sympathetic strike has been rec
commended by the Central Federated
Union,' Frayne said, 1.-The recommends
ton has been approved by other bod
les and the committee authorized to
fix time for striking. No definite
time has ever been set. The commit
tee will meet Friday. 1t may fix the
time then"
The committee met yesterday after
noon. and after brief session ad-
journed. Ernest Bohm, the secretary,
said that reports had been received
from several organizations, including
the Hebrew Trades, announcing
willingness to strike. and that requests
had come from men in unorganlzed
trades 10 be allowed into the move
ment.
Fitzgerald spent his day making the
rounds of the several strike head
quarters, addressing the men whom he
advised 10 stand pat, saying that the
strike is won.
The finishing touches were given to
letter to Mayor Mitchell explaining
the terms on which the strikers would
like to suspend hostilities. In sub
stance. il asks for the return of all
men to their posts and arbitration.
Several labor men who visited the
Continental were inclined TO doubt the
possibility Of a strike affecting any
very great number of workers being
called. T. V. O'ConnOr, president of the
international Longshoremen's Associa-
ton. reiterated that his men would
strike If necessary. The fact, however.
that he expects to leave New York Fri
day night for his Buffalo home was
taken to mean that he did not expect he
would find II necessary to issue such
an order.
