ualizc the battlefront to-day as tney
watched the tank Britannia careen
about like a wounded monster as It
climbed over trenches, orumbled trees
beneath it. ascended hillocks at an
angle Of ffty-fvc degrees, and finally
peppered the machine gun targets with
its automatic rifles while clatieung
along as top speed.
Brigadier General Evan VI. John
son. the division commander. and all
the other high officers Of the camp
saw the performance. The troops
looking on included the 3O5th and 306th
Infantry regiments. the 367th Colored
Infantry. and the 3Olth Machine Gun
Battalion. Brigadior General Edmund
Wi,.cnmyer was in command. The
demonstration was in charge Of Major
II. X. Davis, special representative Of
the War Department.
About 10 o'clock the tank started
for a small valley in the i5lth Brigade
trench ground. After passing over the
third trench. the tank climbed to levei,
ground anu a hand with small red
flag was thrus. out from a deck hole:
This was the signal for q platoon OF
infantry 70 advance and press forward

The tank turned swir.ing around as
If on a pivot and made It's way south-

After making q half circle TO reach

The great audience. grouped qulte
closely about the range, had no trouble
in observing the accuracy with when

Near the end Of the range bed the
tank swung about and started 20 mount

ing on the top Of trench while u stood
at an angle Of 30 degrees, several mem
bers of the crew climbed out OF the
deck hole with anchor-lihe cleats ana
wrenchcs in their hands. The "spuds'
as they called them, were fastened IN
the grooves in the runners, and after
a few minutes the tank, with fero-
cious chugging Of its engines, lurched
upward and was soon safe in horizon

Then she performed the great feat
of the day. Crossing to the side OF

Deny Race FaUoritism
By Tennessee Boards
I Special COrresDOndencel |

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 10 Charges
that exemption boards in Tennessee
have excused majority Of white men
from the draft and filled up their
quotas with negroes are absolutely un-
true.
As matter of fact, in West Ten
nessee, where the negro population is
much larger than in other sections Of
the state, there was a decided effort
made by planters 10 have negroes eN-
empted because their labor was needed
on the farms. The boards in the thirty
six counties Of this division of the
state. without exception, treated negro
rer.strants in exactly the same way as
whites In the appeals 10 the district
exemption boards, Of which there are
three IN Tennessee, the papers did not
show whether the registrants were
white men or negroes. and there was no
possibility Of any favoritism being
shown.
Figures on file at Nashville show that
al least 70 per cent of the states quota
in the first draft was made up Of white
men.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-20

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. l9.-Allegations
that exemption boards in Alabama have
Disseminated in favor Of the whites in
,he matter of the draft law is without
foundation, according 20 the heads Of
the various exemption boards Of this
state. The officers report that the ne
groes have waived exemption in a pro-
portion TO two-thirds more cases than
the white people.
The records show that the negroes
in Alabama have proved better physi-
cally than the whites by a great per
centsee. also the negroes earn more
money than ever before in their lives
by joining the army.
