The boys on the border are soon to
aae the new army tractor trucks OF the
caterpillar type made famous recently
in the attacks on the German front.

aver there and for want of a better
name called tanks" They are tre-
mendous steel structures mounted on
tractors of seventy-five horsepower.
These tractors lay their own track as
thew 20 along and nothing short Of
mountain cliff seems to be able to stop
them. They go straight across ordi-
nary trenches and never even hesitate.
Rarbed wire entanglements mean moth
ing to this fighting monster and trees
and houses are torn down il they get
in the way.
These tractors are expected to prove
very useful in this trackless country
hecause they do not need roads. Their
average speed is four miles an hour
and they make that without roads just
as we'll as with them. Each tractor
will haul four trailers, each trailer
will have a carrying capacity Of 10000
pounds, or as much as the average
freight car. One of these monsters,
armored sufficient to withstand small
arm fire and immune to all sorts OF at
tacks short of heavy artillery, can car
nv sufficient force to protect the
train and more than 100000 pounds or
cargo. One OF them will do as much
as 80 trucks Of the ton-and-a-half type
now In use in the army.

to enter, but except in very few
cases they were assigned to compa-
