HOW TANKS CAME INTO BEING
tBy Associated Press. J

london. Dec. 12.-No one man or
one department of the British gov
crnment can take credit for invent
Ing" the tanks-they came into be-
Ing as the result of long period of
study and co-ordinated effort by
many men acting under three sepa-
rate departments-thew war Office, the
and the ministry of num-
tions.
In the autumn Of 1914 when the
be],igerents on the western front had
settled down to trench warefare, 1t
became obvious that some means Of
parrying the danger Of well-directed
ana well-protected machine-gun fire
from the German trenches must be
discovered If the English infantry
was to carry out assaults with sue
cess.
One of the first proposals put for
wand was for machine 100 feet
long, 46 feet high and 80 feet wide.
weighing some 300 tons, propelled by
al 500 horsepower engine, and with
driving wheels 40 feet in diameter
Another early suggestion, and the
one which led most directly to tha
tanks, was made by Colonel Swinton
in October. 1914, to build armorea
cars on a tractor system. an Ameri-
can invention Experiments with va
ious tractors were made on behalf
OF the war office and by small ex-
per, committee of the admiralty un-
der Winston Churchill, then Firs.
Lord. Through the medium OF the
Committee of Imperial Defense the
various efforts for the solution OF the
problem were co-ordinated, and GER
tain cnditions were laid down which
had to be fulfilled by the proposed
car.
From among the numerous types
OF tractor inspected the most satis-
factory was found to be caterpillar
with an endless self-laid track, over
which internal driving wheels could
be propelled by the engines.
IN February, 1916, the first tant
was completed and taken down to q
farm near London. Here pits, trench
es and ramparts had been construct.
ed The tests were 90 satisfactory

American Forces TO
Train For War in Cuba
Br AsSocintcd PrcSs

Washington, Aug. 1S. - Cuba s
offer to provide q mobilization and
training ground for some American
forces has been accepted. The num-
Der or description of the forces to be
sent cannot be disclosed for military
reasons.
The State Department to-day is
sued this statcment:
THE government of Cuba has of
fered in most friendly spirit to the
government of the United States the
use of training grounds in that re-
public for the American forces.
This generous offer has been ac-
cepted by this government with great
pleasure and careful consideration
has been given to the question as to
which of the American rorces would
he most benefited by training on the
Island of Cuba.
. This question has now been de-
termined and American forces will
proceed to the eastern end of Cuba
for training at an early date.
The action on the part of Presi-
dent Menocal iE making this friendly
offer Is considered as further proof
of Cuba's desire to give cordial CO.
operation to the United States of
America and to be of every assist
ance to 1t in the war which both
countries are now waging for the
rights of humanity against the i'm
perial German government"
