BRITISH FIGHTING TANK
HARD TO KILL"
Experiences of IL Man Who Rode to
Victory in Machine That Defies
Shot and She'll.
By w. S. Forrest

Omitted Press Staff Corresponding
PARIS, June 19.-How does it feel
and sound in the "innards'' of a Brit
ish tank in action?
Bullets Gathering against the steel
covered sides of the newly invented
war machine sound like myriads of
hailstOnes against the window of a
moving train. A direct hit by a shell
shakes the monster from stem to
stern and rattles your teeth, but in
tanks like this it merely tickles their
ribs and they wallow on.
a first hand description of a tank
fighting was given here today by one
of the crew of H. M. Landship 'Ichth-
yOsauras." He speaks from inside in
formation.
you need your sea legs to ride a
tank" the land seaman said, describ-
ing the slow rolling ride towards an
enemy m-achine-gun nest" some
where on the Somme. The tank APP
proaches the German wire=brOwn
rusty entanglements in m"ultitudinOus
rows. 1t slides down an old mine
crater and waddles up the other side
It cuts through the forest of wire
with scratchy c%runching sounds and
just ahead is the nest, piles of white
sand bags with little lo%opholes here
and there.
I'VE fire without ceasing hand or
gun and eye glued to the loophole
pierced in the steel with sweat pour
ing down our forearms.
"a thud; a powerful painting, d las
and almost imperceptible stop. The
nose of our tank scatters sand and

Then comes another violent shock
and heavy blow and a crashing. w

BATTLEPLANES ON
GROUND ARE DEADLY
Machine Gun Mounted on Flying Ship
Proves Effective in Contest With
Infantry.
BY Henry Wood

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
June 19-Adjutant Madon of the
French army aviation has just r~eceiv-
ed a new citation to the order of h
day before the French armies for
might be termed the first hand
han battle between an aeroplane
and infantry.
By leaving a German infantry pa

Madon has demonstrated that the ma

deadly on the ground as in the air.
Madon who is one of the crack
"aces' of the French aerial service,
with eight German machines to his
credit, had his battle just after bring
ing down his eighth victim.
This encounter had taken place
miles behind the German lines. In
the sharp m-aneuvering about his Ger
man antagonist before he finally
caught the latter square in the range
OF his machine gun and sent him
gyrating to the earth, Madon over
strained his motor, throwing out of
gear the rhythmic throb so essential to
flying.
Too far away from the French lines
to cult off his motor and vOlplane to
safety, Madon had only one chance.
This was to descend behind the enemy
lines with the hope of getting his mo-
tor started properly and getting back
into the air before the enemy should
pounc on him.
Selecting a cleared space back OF
a forest, Madon alighted and began
the hasty readjustment. Presently he
noticed a man approaching, staring
at him curiously. AS the individual
was not in uniform, and as he was fal
enough back of the German lines tC

5 lation might still be, he decided tn
y man must be a French peasant. Call
ing out to him in French he said:
please go away quickly, my friend

Within an instant, Madon was dis
illusioned. Turning, the man utter

Almost at the same instant the me

NOT A PARALLEL.

Abraham Lincoln is probably
the most frequently quoted figure
in modern history, His savings
have been cited by the most op-
p0slte persons to support the most
widely variant views. Not that
there ever was the slightest nm
certainty about his uitcrances at
the time they were delivered. No
man ever stood less in need of
explanations. But, torn from
their context and applied TO
WHOLLY different situations and
times, the ambiguity and contra
dictions have been due to the
misuse or misapprchension of
those who have quoted his words.
Neither ord NorthcIiffe nor
Premier Lloyd George can be cx-
pected to be intimately familiar
with American conditions in the
sixties. Their reference to Pres-
dent Lincoln's determination TO
oppose premature peace no
doubt seemed TO them perfect
parallel But Americans know it
is nothing Of the kind Mr. Lin
coin opposed a peace short Of the
definite object for which he was
fighting-the preservation of the
Union He rejected all ovcrtures
which did not conccde that OBJ
jcct as the one base for peace.
President Wilson S note TO the
European bclllgcrculs has point

present war is a definition of the
objects which the disputants are

clear and definite object as lin

concrete aim that everybody,

could understand On the CON
trary, the European spokesman
