TANK MEETS TANK
British "Land Battleship" Rams
German, Captures Crew.
One Hits Locomotive, Upsets 1t,
Then Replaces 1t on Track.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

With the British Armies in the Field,
Aug. 2O.-British tanks, so bedaubei
with mud and slime from Flanders
qua gmires that they look like moving
mountains, are spreading terror among
the Germans. The gigantic mud tur-
ties lumber and creak thru the bogs,
splitting red flames from their mud
encrusted guns and creating panic
wherever they operate.
One lone tank today reported the
capture of sixty Germans near st.
Julien.
While wallowing along to the emmy
line, the monster encountered one of
its kind stopped by a direct hit from
German anti-tank gun.
Smashes Opponent. Head On.
The unin5ured charged the gun and
literally smashed it out of commits
sion. Eight Germans were captured
here and turned back to the advanc-
ing the British infantry. The same tank
creeping along, aided in the capture of
Pommern redoubt and Pommern cas-
tie. 1t crossed the deep cut marking
the redoubt and sent word hack that
it was clear of the enemy. Meanwhile
another tank crashed its way thru the
castle defense, while the Germans FLED
precipitately. Advancing infantry
found the defenders massed in the
redolb position which the first tank
had cleared.
More tanks were summoned. Four
slid roaring over the redoubt and took
IL, the Germans surrendering. Then it
was discovered that the defenders had
FIRST fled from the redoubt to the cas-
tie and then back from the castle to
the redoubt. There was no other
place to flee to after the redoubt was
for the second time under attack, since
the first tank which had reported the
redoubt clear, had covered the rear.
All prisoners frankly confessed their
panic at the steel monsters
Crossing the Canal Secret Feat
Crossing of the Ypres canal by these
tanKs-under constant shell fire and
gas cloudS-waS one of the great feats
of the war. But the secret of how 1t
was done will not be told until the war
is over.
The monstrous strength of the giant
turtles creates constant amazement
One tank encountered a huge fully
laden motor lorry, stuck in ditch.
1t stopped and obligingly hitched the
front axles on a big chain. Then it
numbered ahead. There was a crash
and yells of dismay from the lorry
driver. The tank had pulled out the
front wheels, the motor and part of
the chassis.
One other tank, running without
lights. crashed into railway engine,
knocking it off the track. The tank S
crew, not bit dismayed, promptly
went over and pushed the engine back
on the rails again, sending it off puff
ing contentedly.
Queer Names for Tanks
British Tommies have named the
monsters curiously. One encounters
such names as "Gog, Ariadne, Belize
bug. Bloodstone, Blackarrow. Baify-
hackle, Coquette, Crusader and Con-
dolier''
This latter tanks crew had a good
| laugh at the expense of a German
aeroplane. The flier tried to fight
the great numbering caterpillar. 1t
swooped and ducked and fired great
sheets of bullets. All ratified harm
lessly against the tanks impervious
hide. Then the aeroplane gave it up

BREEDING RECORD cows

Writing in the Lexington Leader
last week, Prof. J. j. Hooper, head of
Animal Husbandry Department, Uni
versity of Kentucky said:
When the Holstein cows that were
bcirc officially tested few years ago
produced 80 pounds of butter in a
week it was thought that they had
reached their ultimate limit, but word
has Just been received that the cow
Segis Fayne Johanna, 11465S, has
broken the record by producing in
seven days 1872 pounds of milk and
O,544 pounds of fat. She calved at
the age of eight years and two
months. Her sire is King Fayne Segis
and her dam is Vilkina Johanna. She
was bred in$New Jersey and is now
owned by Oliver Cabana, Elma Cen
ter, New York. She displaces another
dairy queen that had record of st.
AZ pounds of fat. The 40.54 pounds
of fat is counted as the equivalent of
5O7 pounds of butter.
During five lacation periods this
COW has made a record above 30
pounds of butter in week, which
serves to distinguish her above any
other cow. The sire of this cow has
proved to be an excellent breeder,
having IA daughters that made ad
vanced registry records with their
first calves when they averaged 1873
pounds of butter in seven days and
he has fourteen other advanced reg
istry daughters.
Mr.. Cabana has the $4,000 herd
bull Rag Apple Korndyke 9Th and
this bull has sired the only 30-pound
two-y ear-old that the world has
known, and other tested daughters.
This breeding serves to illustrate
the fact that if a man is going to pro-
duce cattle with great records he
must keep within the families that
are producing the great records. To
simply breed registered cattle these
days does not imply that we are i'm
proving our herd or the cattle of our
district. Improvement comes through
a certain limited number of individ-
uals. The new fifty pound cow con-
tains in concentrated form the
blood lines of the Holstein breed that
are producing the record animals.
