TIME arrival in this country Of Colonel
ED. Swinton, c. b., ID. S. o., r. f..
Assistant Secretary Of the British
War Cabinet. who developed the British
"tank," is coincident with the first au-
thentic account Of the tanks development,
published in the September number of the
STRAND Magazine" Colonel Swinton, who
is on his first visit to America, tells
correspondent of "The New York Herald"
that the original idea for the invention
came from America in what is known as
the Holt tractor, manufactured in Peoria,
III.
an the British army certain Of us had
been talking long time about the neces-
sity of some new war machine capable of
climbing over rough ground and being able
to fight" Colonel Swinton told 1.-The
Herald" correspondent.
1--WE had our eyes open for it, but made
little Roadway until July, 1914, month be-
fore the war began, when an officer reported
TO me that he had seen a tractor near Ant
werp which was able to climb over rough
ground and which might serve rs the prin-
cinle OF the machine Tor Whlch We were
searching. This tractor being used in
a field, he said, and was q remarkable con-
trivance which might be investigated to ad-
vantage.
81 went out to see the machine, and found
a farmer at work with it in field. Without
letting him know my identity or purpose,
got him 20 demonstrate the thing to me. |
pretended to think highly of its possibilities,
and the farmer, who was enthusiastic about
it, tried to prove that 1t was wonderful
invention. He climbed over some rough
ground with it just to show of what 1t was
capable. | saw Immediately that there were
possibilities in the tractor.
"Then the war broke out in August, and
events came in such rapid succession that It
was October before We were able to give
our attention to the development of the tank.
| am not an inventor, but / obtained the
services of two officers who are inventors,
and We set about making war machine
along entirely new lines. The development
of the machine was slow, and it was almost
two years later before the first tank ap-
peared upon the battlefield to terrify the
Germans"

Mo More Amazing Case Since
~ The War Began

The evidence already heard against
Soukhomlnoff has been the most amazing
in modern military history. According to
sworn witnesses, he was secretly selling
his country to Germany. 1t was he who
was responsible for the humiliating de-
feats of the army of the Grand Duke
Nicholas. Frantic kilograms to him by
helpless generals met with no reply. The
testimony of General Ivanof shows the
degradation to which both Soukhomlinoff
and his wife had fallen. 1t was she who
acted as her husbands agent in the no
tcrious Miasseyefoff case of 1915.
THE New York Times" says that it is
possible that America might never have
entered the war had it not been for
Soukhomlnoff's action, and that the Allies
might now have been debating the terms
of peace to defeated Germany.
"If Soukhomlinoff is proved guilty" con-
tlnues 1.-THE Times" doubtless history
will say that one sordid, money-mad
traitor, who had not even Benedict Ar
rold's excuse of unkind treatment by his
superiors, was a more potent force on
every front in the great war than Hinden-
turg, Mackensen, Falkenhayn, Crown
Prince Frederick William, Admiral Won
Tirpitz or any German or Austrian COM
mander wnomsoever."

wv hat to Name the Tank
w Was Puzzle

What to name the tank, according to
Colonel Swinton's article in 1.-THE Strand
Magazine" puzzled its makers. A name
that would reveal nothing of its nature
was deemed essential, and finally the nom
committal word tank" was chosen. Aside
from being called "Panzerkraftwagen" and

THE Need and Observance
l Of Strict Secrecy

The utmost secrecy enveloped the tanks
from their manufacture to their arrival
at the front. To help conceal their des-
tination at the stage when any reference
to their purpose was precluded, they were
painted with the inscription with Care.

following up the suggestion that they were
meant for snow-ploughs in Russia. While

Z lie Sympathizes Only Specifically
l l With Militarism

And at a time when the world has
learned to loathe Prussian militarism, it is
highly gratifying to hear de Chassaigne
say of Won Kuehlmann that che possesses
that quality, which is so rare among the
German nobility, of sympathizing only
specifically with the military caste, while
he is profoundly attached to the industrial
classes, which, for him, represent the true
future of his country"
Nature has favored him by giving him
good looks, and, further:
Gle is a fine figure of man and has none
other side of the Rhine. His pleasant face
and smile are full of an independent spirit
and have at times an expression of candor
and good fellowship that disarms everybody
who does not know him well. His handshake
is cordial, rather rough, but giving the i'm
preston of perfect sincerity. In the popular
phrase, he is hail fellow well met. Nothing
in his outward appearance suggests the diplo-

school He has, however, charming manners

one who comes TO him, but he is so simple,

Washington and Lee
Organizes Battalion

Lexington, Va, April! 9.-Wash-
ington and Lee University decided
today to abolish all intercollegiate
athletics for the rest OF the session,
and to introduce military training
instead. A battalion of six COM
panies, consisting OF about 400 stu
dents, has been organized and will
begin operations at once. The drill
ing will take place every afternoon
on the athletic field from three to FIVE.
For the present, Major Edwards Of V.
NJ. L., assisted by the frst classmen
OF the Institute. will have charge OF
the drilling until the battalion be-
come we'll enough organized to be
turned over to officers selected from
the student body of the University.
There are practically no students
who are enlisting in the army. The
student body is behind President
Smith In believing that it is the duty
Of the college man to remain ut col
lege, to drill there, and to prepare
himself there for some particular lin .
of service to his country, instead Of
madly rushing to the ranks. AS
soon as possible the Washington and
Lee battalion will be put In charge Of
q Government officer, and uniforms
and equipment will be supplied by
the Government "Down with the
Kaiser" is the cry!

Restocking Our Streams With
Fish

The Forestry Service has perfected
a plan whereby practically all the
streams in Massanutten and Potomac
Areas will be restocked with fish. Ap
plications for fish have been filed out
and duly filed with the Bureau of
Fisheries at Washington, D. C. I'm
der this arrangement bass will be con
signed to Shenandoah River, Stony
Creek, Cedar Creek and Passage
Greek, while the smaller mountain
streams will be stocked with large
numbers of rainbow and brook trout.
This means that thousands of fish
will be placed in our streams during
the spring and summer.
Heretofore the Shenandoah County
Game and Fish Association>has car
ried out the plan of restocking GER
tain streams each year, but of course
could not carry 1t out on as large
scale as is now proposed.
The Forestry Officials and Associ-
alton are working together in this
plan and are making arrangements
for the successful planting of the fish
in our streams.
This plan is q great step forward
and all should cooperate to make it a
success. Let everyone give the fish a
chance and do what they can to help.

ERS NO PAIN,

No humbug. Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out. without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of etheir discovered by
a Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a
small bottle of freezone, which will
cost but trife, but is sufficient to
rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or calIus. In
stantly the soreness disappears ard

soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
