 All Spick and Span

Everything is spick and span, shining with abundance of oil, but no superfluous luxuries of brass ol nickel take away the business-like baroness and grimness of the grey black armor-plate which obtrudes everywhere. As in a battleship, the preferential position from the point of view of safety is given tC the engines. They lie just above the floor, stretching in a longitude inal position through the center of the craft, while shafts and cranks run under a special armOr casing at the back of the cams which op- crate the caterpillars and the big push wheels at the rear
 The painting of the tanks is a great pastime in the tank encamp- ment. Modern protective colorinp of battlefield weapons offers wide field for the development of the cubist art and the decorative ap- pearance of a tank going into bat tie suggests that some painter who all his life had specialized in bar Der poles had suddenly gone amuck with paint brush and color pot.

TANKMAN AT THE FRONT IS
 NO S|NECURE
Interior of the Great Fighting Machines Are Not Constructed
 For Comfort
SLENDER MEN WANTED

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, June 30.-(Mail cores pondence) Under the shelter of a green ridge of shell-marked farm land about fifteen miles behind the present first line trenches, one may come upon the encampment of the tanks. The parade ground is like distorted cage from Gulliver-Lilli- putian men at play with Brobdig- nagian toys. A division of the monsters are lying stretched out in the warm afternoon sun, being combed with oil and secured by their industrious attendants, who are like mere meddling pigmies by the side of the great steel steeds.
 Through Their Faces
 Over at the edge of the parade. where the level grounds break tip into ridges and hillocks, two or three of the big iron horses are put through their paces. Grunting and puffing, creakihg and com blaming. they move along. not with the easy stride of the story-book giants, but with the cumbersome gait of huge muscle-bound turtle. But nothing discOmposes them in their grumbling advance. They mount terrain five feet high. with the same clumsy complaining non chalance that they negotiate mole hill, and tile steady pace of their caterpillars is unchanged whether climbing up steep slope or clat- tering along the level.
 The job of a tankman is no sine cure. The interior is not built for comfort. It is crowded with ma chinery and guns and armor. and in motion the deck sways and bucks like that of a little torpedo boat in a storm. Nor is the roof high enough to prevent danger of receiving a sound humping if one is too tall. Men for the tanks are picked for small stature and slender build. They must be tough as nails but occupy no unnecessary space.
 If you would spend few minutes on board tank you must have your steel helmit with you and your gas mask carefully encased in It's wa

COMMANDEERINC OF STEAMERS
 NEXT STEP
All American Ocean Going Merchant Ships Will Soon Be Taken by
 the Government
A WORLD WIDE CONTROL
Foreign Tonnage Will Re- place the Chartered Craft-AIaska Boats
 May be Effected

WASHINGTON. D. C., August D. Plans for taking over the operation of all American ocean going mer- chant ships, will soon be announced by the American Shipping Board. The charters will be requisitioned under the Act of Congress author izing the President to commandeer tonnage for the government use. The program is preliminary to put ting into operation an agreement with the British government for joint control of the worlds ship ping.
 The chief aim in communicating the ships is to get more ships into the transatlantic service. Many Am erican coastwise vessels and ships, now engaged in the Pacific and South American trade will be divert ed to the transatlantic runs and their places will be taken to a large extent by neutral and Japanese ton mage. The plan is to commander charters and wherever advisable to let the ships be operated by their owners under government charter In this way the government will direct the operations and specify the services which the ship shall ply and at the same time avoid the ex- penditure of vast sum of money that will be required if the hulls themselves were taken over Wher- ever operators fail to carry out the shipping boards regulations the char ters will be taken and given to others.

JOY-R|D|NC IN CANADA MAY BE
 GIVEN A CRIMp
Fuel Controller May Soon Decide That Gasoline Cannot Be Used For
 Such Purposes

OTTAWA, Aug. 1.-Drastic action may be taken to prevent automobile joy riding in order to conserve the gasoline supply for the needs of the armies in England and France and Of necessary industries in Canada, particularly western agriculture, which is beginning to absorb vast quantities of gasoline for power pur- poses.
 The matter is now being consid- cred by c. A. Magrath. the fuel con troller and if his investigation of the situation proves the need of economy, he will not hesitate to take action to curb the use of gasoline for needless automobile riding.
 Gasoline as fuel comes under the authority of the fuel controller. His operations are not confined as is the general impression to dealing with supply of coal and wood for the coming winter.
