MAKING COLLEGE PRACTICAL
New Experiences Viii Be Added to
the Ordinary Cur
rlcuium.

The college student OF other days
lived In a little world OF his own
apart from the real world about him.
Nor was the course OF study designed
to 1T one for practical life. The Good
Government club of Williams college
is an excellent example of the new
spirit that has entered our colleges
and universities, Charlton Bates
Strayer writes in Leslie's. One func-
ton of the club is to secure promi-
nent speakers on various social and
political problems. The second aim.
and much more important OF the two.
is q system OF practical community
service through committees. At VIII
Jamestown this has meant the assist
ance OF neighboring farmers in apple
raising and In forestry. the investiga-
ton OF water and milk supply, the
instruction OF foreigners in the Gus
toms and ideals of the country, work
ing for prohibition. law enforcement
and town Improvement, and helping
boys through the Big Brother" move
ment. The young man who gets four
years OF this sort OF experience in
connection with academic training will
be a bigger man than his predeces-
sors. and will Justify his superior
training by better service in the COM
munity and the state.

The enemy evidently had no hint
what they were. They emptied their
rifles as the things came rolling on.
They turned the machine guns on and
the bullets only struck sparks. Still
the moving horrors came on until they
reached the first German trench.
There in several places they. sat COM
placently astride the trench and swept
it in both directions and all the ground
beyond with their machine guns. In
some case the enemy surrendered from
the trenches to the leviathian itself
before the infantry came up.
On their first day in one short hour
they did more military service, killed
more of the enemy. had greater in
f1uence on the war than all the Zeppe-
Inns had ever done. This time the dia-
bolical machine is ours and nothing
If not entirely civilized. and in accord
with every convention ever signed. 1t

with five wheels. something like small
railroad trucks. These wheels never
touch the ground, but runs upon the
steel rails. In the ordinary tractor
about seven feet of belt and rails is
on the ground at one time. Mr..
Baker said that the machine would
bridge any trench that was not wider
than the length of track, if laid on the
ground at one time. The bow" might
hit the far side of the trench far be-
low the top and the stern" would
undoubtedly sink a little, but the
tenacity of the tractor, he declared,
would enable it to go ahead and climb
out
The width of track used on the ma
chimes sent to England, Mr.. Baker said,
was twenty-four inches He declared
that the ground pressure is about
three pounds per square inch where

a thirty-inch track Is used, or less
than that of the foot of either man or
horse. He suggested that the British
authorities probably had heightened
the track on the tractors used in
trench work, giving them even greater
power to surmount obstacles.
I'VE have been making these trac-
tors for the British government for a
long time" said Mr.. Baker, land have
not talked much about 1t. Since their
recent use in storming trenches I have
seen published reports that led me
to believe the secret would come out
any way pretty soon, so ! decided it

like those now in use on the British

British Trench Hurdling
Monsters Made in U. S. A.;
Can Brush Trees Aside

Washington, Sept. 10. - The Brit
| ish tanks" the armored motorcars
used in recent assaults on German
trenches in northern France SO sue
cessfully as to attract worldwide at
tention, were built, for the most part,
in Peoria, ILL.,, in the form of cater
pillar tractors designed many years
before the war began to meet some of
| the difficult problems of modern farm
ing. Except for their armor, their
machine guns and their crews, thou
sands like them are in use to-day in
the United States in plowing, digging
bitches and other labors less heroic
than war.
M. NJ Baker, vice-president of the
Holt Manufacturing Company, ex-
planned here that they were machines
made by. his company at it's Peoria
plant that had hurdled German
trenches, walked through forests and
crawled over shell craters in the face
of intense gun fire.
1--WE have sold about 1000 cater
pillar tractors to the British govern
ment," said Mr.. Baker. I'VE have
had nothing to do with putting armor
on them, or placing machine guns, but
some of our men at Aldershot, Bng-
| land, recently were notified that the
British Government intended to armor
some of the tractors and use them for
work other than the usual towing of
big guns.
Germany had some of these trac-
tors before the war began, and al
| though l do not understand just how
| 1t occurred, l believe she may have
| got others since then. We have sent
some to France and some to Russia
So far as / know, up until the recent
appearance of the armored cars the
tractors were sent only to tow big
guns. I understood that Germany

each, develop 120 horsepower and are
built of steel. The caterpillar feature,
he explained is of the utmost i'm
portance. Speaking broadly, the
tractor crawls on two belts, with cor
rugated surfaces, on each side of the
body. The corrugated surface is on
the ground.
side of the body are two lines of steel
rails, making four lines in all These
rails are in short sections, jointed and
operated 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 it easy to turn
to right or left
Wheels Never Touch Ground
The body is supported by trucks

many of the 1000 tractors sent to
England had been armored and put
in service as land battleships, nor did
he know what equipment the British
War Office had placed upon cars to
be used in this work.
ut is true" said Mr.. Baker, that
these tractors can go ahead over al
most anything or through almost any
thing. They can straddle a trench,
go through a swamp, roll over logs,
or climb through shell craters like a
car of Juggernaut. 1t looks uncanny
to see them crawl along the ground,
jus. a huge caterpillar In a thick
forest, If they encountered trees they
could not brush out of their way, they
could easily be used to uproot them
and clean their own path"
Mr.. Baker said the tractors sent to
England weigh about $4,000 pounds

AVOIDING poMEsrIc MArTERs

Thus far the opposition to President Wilson has confined itself to attacks on the foreign policies of his administration There has been a general dispo, sition ,o avoid discussions of his domestic policies and the wonderful record of his administration in solving economic probems-the things that really are of greatest importance to the people. The attacks have been directed at those things upon which he must for obvious reasons withhold many of the facts from the public While diplomatic negotiations are In progress if Is regarded as unwise both from standpoint or public policy and of good faith with those with whom negotiations are being carried on to give publicity to important facts except they are presented in the diplomatic exchanges. Therefore, those conducting negotiations are always in possession of light which is denied the public But it is different with domestic matters. The public is informed on them Hence the attacks on the administration are directed in such manner as will give the attackers the benefit or the ignorance of the public.
