New British Tank
To Be Seen in Loan
Parade To-day
Land Cruiser Arrives Here With
Crew That Crossed No
Mans Land

A British "tank," the most effective
type Of land cruiser Anglo-Saxon In
genuity has developed during the war
is in New York City. 1t arrived yes
terday, was brought here largely
through the influence Of Lord North
cliffe and Is for use in the closing
hours of the second Liberty Loan cam
paign.
To-day the tank" as yet free Of
battle scars, though destined for ulti-
mate service on the Western front,
will crawl down Fifth Avenue in the
Liberty Loan parade.
To Have Veteran Crew
Captain Richard Haigh, Of the Royal
Berkshires, slight English youth Of
twenty-four, who has been decorated
with the military cross, and a crew Of
eight Britishers, all OF them tank"
veterans, are here to guide the cruiser
through the parade, and then pilct 1t
to the sheep pasture in Central Park,
where it will rest for a time next to
the former German submarine, now
the U-Buy-a-Bond.
They did not begin TO unpack the
tank" until late yesterday afternoon,
and 1t will be early to-dav before Cap
tain Haighs crew will have 1t ready
to move. 1t rested yesterday on Pier
53, North River, o hulking mass OF
armor plate, cog wheels, levers, oil
cups and machine guns. Captain Haigh
vouches for the fact that 1t Is Of the
female" type. The male" cruisers
are armed with 6-pounders instead of
the five Lewis machine guns this en-
CINE carries.
The tank" weighs twenty-six tons.
1t Is thirty feet long. low, squat and
ugly. It's thirst would bankrupt MILL
ionaire motorist should his car develop
the taste for gasolene this "tank' has.
1t eats up eight gallons to the mile.
When its 105-horsepower engine Is do
ing its best the "tank" can make six
miles an hour. As for its operation,
nobody in this country knows how 1t
works but the nine Britishers who
came over with it and they will not
tell.
Captain Enjoys Shows
"My crew and | have been in tank
shows before" Captain Haigh admit
ted yesterday. owe call them shows,
you know. OF course, tank Is o
queer place when you start out for
German trench. It's hot, and when the
guns fire it's like being inside a tin
bucket with cannon crackers in 1t.
"And they do shake when you hit a
she'll crater. We just yell, Hold tight
and grab anything. We've no straps to
hold TO, like in your subway trains, you
know. But at that I'd rather be in a
tank than in the infantry. In tank
you don't get wind up THAT means
frightened), for you can't hear much OF
the din around you. And it takes a
mighty heavy she'll to hurt tank
"You know, we usually 90 over be-
fore an infantry attack, spot enemy
machine gun emplacements and Just sit
on them. Then all the Boche can do Is
throw up his hands. Then we get
back-if we can. l.
"a tank is as docile as lamb II
you know how to handle her"

Let Our Dollars Show
Germany, Says Banker

A. B. Leach, banker, who addressed
an impromptu Liberty Loan meeting
held on the Produce Exchange after
the close Of trading yesterday, said:
There are people over in Belgium
and in France who are waiting to
see if America really means to stand
by them. In Germany the people are
being told that America does not
mean anything. Here In this room
arc the men who represent large
share of the wealth Of New York
City. Most Of Us are too old to fight,
but there IS none Of US who hasn't
the money to help subscribe our
governments lean. It is a disgrace
to our city that we are fifth on the
national subscription lists. Are you
men really doing all you can for your
country? You can't be, or we would
be first on that list, and all doubts
would be removed from the minds Of
Belgium, France and Germany that
America really means something.
Don't wait until the last moment
to subscribe for your Liberty bonds.
Put your name down to-day. There
are always people who lag and who
will be the last to come in. There
are others who are holding back to
see what you will do, and it is to
encourage these that we need your
subscriptions"

Back Loan to Limit,
Urges Billy Sunday
every Dollar Subscribed a
Pill for Kaiser Bill"
Evangelist Declares

BUFFALO, Oct. "a Liberty Loan
drive was launched here to-day by
the Billy Sunday organization. The
famous evangelist sent the following
message:
"The Stars and Stripes have never
trailed the dust, and we do not propose
10 din our colors to the Iron Cross OF
Germany. When diplomacy fails, the
army and navy become necessary. But
the army and navy are powerless with
out money, so I call on the members OF
the Billy Sunday Cluo, the choir or
ganization, the ushers, doormen, secre-
taries, committees and every one con-
nected with the Buffalo campaign to
ret back Of this Liberty Loan to the
limit.
Every dollar subscribed is a pill for
Kaiser Bill. If you are good for any
thing you will get in line somewhere.
There are only two horns to this di-
lemma, the United States and Ger
many You are either a patriot or a
traitor. II we don't come across the
Kaiser will"
