ENGLISH NAVAL OFFICER
RESPONSIBLE FOR TANK
Commodore Sucter Given Credit by

LONDON. January - Those ia
miliar with the inside facts Of the
construction of tn. British tanks"
which have proven to be such a ire
'nendous factor in the success OF the
allied offensive on the Somme, are Of
the opinion that the man responsible
for their adoption by the government
is Commodore Murray Sueter, X. y.
Early in the war 1t was deemed
necessary by the naval authorities to
establish an acroplane base at Dun
kirk. with auxiliary bases as, far in
land as feasible. In connection with
the construction and maintenance OF
these bases. IL was very evident that
some sort OF armorcd cars were much
needed as supports.
To develop such "a machine was the
task assigned 10 Commodore Suetcr,
and with characteristic ingenuity he
started out 10 invent some sort of a
war monster that would cope with the
situation.
Within short time after he took
command Of the base at Dunkirk the
commodore had armorcd ears in Oper-
alton, but the arinor plate used in the
first cars was too light TO withstand
'i''1 i's' anu machine eun Hf' VI 'ic
Tcutons, and rendered them absolutely
useless against shell fire.
Tn" commodore realized that hc
must overcome th- difficulty in some
way, so h" produced Il heavier type of
car, which would withstand rifle bullets
at point blank range. He then re-
turned to London and began to de-
sign land battlcship which would
withstand shells and bullets alike
Winston Churchill. then First Lord of
, the Admiralty, approved the plans, but
Sir Percy Scott was against any such
machine Of war AT this juncture the
pedrail system used on American farm
tractors began to interest the COM

Following the lead of the Corb; baking
Company. Nolde brothers announced
yesterday that they would also in

that the other bakeries in Richmond
will take the same action. although
no definite statement has been made
by them.
1t was stated in baking circles yes
tcrday that several small bakers in
Virginia had been forced to retire frorn
business because Of the increasing
prices of every commodity that enters
into the manufacture of bread. Va

advancing the retail price, but these
were of no avail.
The statement was made yesterday
that in selling bread. buns and rolls
for the higher price that the bakers
will not net near as great a profit from
their business as they did two years
ago under normal conditions, and with
commodities selling at normal prices

bread have increased in price. in some
instances as much az $50 per cent, but
the revenues from the increased sell
