New British Tanks in
Rare Stunts That Both
Amaze and Amuse Soldiers

London, Sept. 21. - OF the land
ships" or tanks" one continues to
hear amazing stories, says Perry Rob-
inson in dispatch to the Daily News
from the Somme front One tank"
whose steering gear was out of order
could not turn to the right or left,
so it trundled straight ahead till it
was quite out of touch with our men,
then sat down on an enemy trench
and for five hours withstood bombing
attacks. In yet another case a land
ship" found the infantry was not
coming on behind, so it went back to
find out what was the matter. They
were held up by a trench which the
tank" had overlooked, where a
strong bombing party of the enemy
was situated, so that the machine
posted itself on top of it and wiped
out the bonn bing party.
One tank" is known to have put
out of action six German machine
guns in a single position. Another
wandered around few hours, nosing
out the German machine gun parties
in shell holes about the open and
dealing with them firmly when found.
Another. after rendering yeoman
service in the operations at High
Wood, went on to what 1t thought
was our front trench and then dis
covered it was a German one. 1t
came back shortly afterward with
about 25 German prisoners. who
walked beside it like a flock of sheep
cowed by its machine guns. Another
cleaned out German machine gun
post in a shell hole. Then one of the
gunners of the crew took charge OF
the enemy gun and stayed there to
use it against the former owners.
1t is difficult to speak of the things
quite seriously because they are so
preposterous and incredible. so unlike
anything ever on earth before, but
they have proved themselves real ana
formidable engines of war. The new
service has been created by his
Majesty's land navy and already the
men have shown gallantry of which
any of the sister services might be
proud.

TRY TO RESTRAIN
GREAT STRIKE
CONTINUED From First pagel

tSOhthiucu from t1rSt rage
on Monday. The citizens committee
had little hope of success.
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor is here
and has promised to attend a meeting
with the citizens committee this after
noon. Local strike leaders also will
participate in the conference Mr..
Gompers refrains from making any
public announcement of his views as
some OF the trade unions were opposed
10 IL owing to the fact that they have
contracts with their employers which
would be violated by a strike.
Rloting continues nightly despite
the fact that two thousand policemen
were concentrated in the center of the
city last night to protect elevated and
cross town surface lines, strike SYM
pathizers bombarded cars with mis-
sizes. In one case several hundred
strikers attacked a car in Central
Park West and were beaten off only
after battle with the police.
Repeatedly during the early hours
to-day Sixth and Third avenue elevated
trains were assailed by strike sym-
path1zers on roof tops. Twenty two
such attacks were reported by the po-
lice within few hours Car windows
were smashed under showers of bricks
and bottles and several passengers
were injured.

Submarine Issue Will
Probably Be Renewed and
Fully Discussed Now

Berlin, Sept 20, via London, Sept.
81. - Renewed and full discussion in
the Reichstag of the submarine issue
and the controversy which led to the
retirement of Admiral Won Tirpitz as
minister of the navy appears to be
inevitable in consequence of the publ-
cation yesterday of the letters eX-
mann Hollweg and the admiral. From
these letters the public learned that
in a private conversation Prof. Val
entin asserted Admiral Won Tirpitz had
misled the Reichstag in regard to the
number of available submarines and
the possibility of a submarine cam
paign The admiral demanded that the
chancellor discipline Prof. Valentin but
the chancellor. while freeing the ad-
miral from the charges. took the posi-
tion that the professor was not SUBJ
ject to his disciplinary powers.
These letters. however. touched only
the fringes of accusations and alle-
cations which for months have been
circulating from mouth to mouth in
connection with this controversy.
There is attributed to Prof. Valentin
not only the statement that Admiral
Won Tirpitz furnished incorrect fig
ures regarding the number of avail
able submarines, which charge the
chancellor declares unfounded, but also
the declaration the admiral deliber-
ately misled the Reichstag and the
chancellor regarding the previous sue
cess of the submarine campaign and
the amount of tonnage destroyed and
that the foreign office obtained the
correct figures only from papers stolen
from the admiralty.
This account of Prof. Valentin's
conversation not only reached Admiral
Won Tirpitz but was submitted in the
form of an affidavit to the Bavarian
war ministry and formed one of the
subjects of discussion at an audience
granted last month by the king of Ba-
varia to a delegation which demanded
che nge in the imperial policy and the
sharpest possible warfare against
Great Britain.
In a communication printed in the
Norddeutsche Allegemeine Zeitung this
afternoon Prof Valentin denies flatly
any mention of the theft of papers
from the Admiralty or that, as charg-
ed in the affidavit he cited as author
ity for this statement the chancellor,
with whom at that time he was not
acquainted There has arisen a sharp
issue of veracity between Prof VAL
entin and the author of the affidavit,
Prof. Grossman, editor of the South
German Monthly. prominent political
periodical
