M. NJ. Baker, representative Of a

Washington for several days. declares
that the new machines of war used by
the British were built by his concern.

where here. other machines would fall
about 5000 pounds each. and developed
40 horsepower. They were built OF
steel.
1.-THE caterpillar feature Is OF the utmost
Importance. Broadly the tractors crawl
on two belts, with corrugated surfaces
on either side Of the body.

ground. On the inside OF the belts, on
each side OF the body. are two lines OF
steel rails making four lines In all.
How Rails Operate.
These rails are in short sections.
jointed. and operate over cogged
mechanism that actually lays them
down with their belt attachment as the
tractor moves ahead and picks them up
again so that the car runs on Its own
self-made track continuously.
THE short points In the rails make
II easy to turn to the right or left.
The body Il supported by trucks
with Ave wheels. something like small
railroad trucks. These wheels never
touch the ground. but run upon the steel
rails.

feet OF belt and rails are on the ground
at one time.
Hundreds of these tractors are being
employed, and have been for several
years, on American farms"

Colonel Rice. of the ordnance depart

tractors could easily be turned into land
dreadnaughts similar to the British
tanks" It is unlikely this will be done
Conditions Here Different.
Conditions here would not call for
such engines of warfare" said Colonel
Rice. I'm the first place. II Is not likely
that war In America would develop into
trench warfare. because OF the enor-
nous distances. except where 1t would
be confined to land"
Other ordnance officers pointed TO the
fact that trench fighting has not been
so entirely the vogue on the long Rus
sian front as IL has In the western
theater where distances are not so
great.
The tractors bought for the United
States army are to be used to haul big
guns. They will be armored. and prob
ably will carry rapid firing rifles; but
more for defense than offense. They
are much similar to the ordinary farm
tractors. except that they are more
powerfully constructed.

periments with the tractors. said to

In the naval appropriation bill.

submitted to Secretary of the Navy

Washington be given an opportunity to
furnish detailed information comparing
the advantages Of the Capital with those
Of other cities seeking the plant before

The position taken by Chamber of

son or advantages, point by point, be-
tween the locations offered, and that
all factors should be given considera-
tlon and not merely whether cognate
industries flourish in the section con-
sidered.
ION the question of advantages for
the location of the armor plant in
washington, we present, among other
tion. the following:
washington Is the deep water point
on the Atlantic coast nearest to coal
ana limestone deposits. 4 Is less than
nifty miles to the limestone deposits Of
the Harpers Ferry region and only 80
miles to the Cumberland coal deposits.

you the facts in detail with regard to
capacity for handling materials and
products by rail and water in any
quantity and without delays, owing to
the choice OF communication to the site
proposed and also to the fact that IL
Is directly connected by a double track
railroad. used for freight exclusively
with the great assembling and distribut-
ing yard at Benning.
we would like time 70 secure and OPP
portunity to present facts which the ex-
perlence of the Washington Steel and
Ordnance Company would furnish, and
which are especially applicable to the
present consideration.
I'VE trust that We may have the honor
OF a further communication from the
Navy Department which will enable us
to carry out the objects of this organ
ization with respect to furnishing mat
tiers OF information which will promote
the best interests of the District OF
