WEEDS

The man who is going to run
garden this summer needs to make up
his mind very resolutely on the weed
question. He will find that it will
take all his philosophy and physical
energy.
1t is simply astonishing to the
amateur gardner how fast weed will
grow He may leave his garden look
ing as neat as apple pie. After re-
turning from a weeks vacation, he
finds that the weeds have completely
overtopped his struggling vegetables.
The persistence of a weed root is
amazing. You may cut off practic-
ally the whole thing with your hoe.
Then if some little piece of the tap
root is left in the soil, up it comes
smiling in a day or two, nodding its
saucy head at you as it climbs up to
its former position. 1t seems to thrive
on decapitation.
Or you may pull weeds up by the

TO REDEEM STEEL AT VERDUN
Estimated That S23,ooo,ooo in Scrap
is Represented in Shells on
Battlefield.

CONGRATULATIONS of shells have left
the battlefield of Verdun holding a
mine of ready refined steel. So great
is the store that the steel in
dustry is figuring the advantages
of trying to rake the area when
the war is over to redeem the frag-
ments.
Military reports on many days cal
culated that 100000 or more projec-
tiles lad fallen into the area in "a
hours. The steel trade, however, pre-
fers to estimate that Verdun was ham,
mored at the moderate rate of 100000
a week.
A total weight of 100000 tons is be-
lieved to await profitable redemption
from the area of the fortress. At the
present price of scrap steel, $3.50 a
ton, the deposit is worth $23,625,000.

Capt. Charles Sweeney, Who
Commanded French Battery,
Is in Washington.
WILL help ORDNANCE STAFF
French Tank Likened to Giant Hog
Creeping Forward - Straddles
Trenches, crushes Through
Barbed Wire and Rakes
Foe With Guns.

Washington.-The French infantry
that has been winning so much ground
in the Champagne region of late is adj
vancing as a supporting force to
numerous batteries of caterpillar trac-
tors or tanks" hOg-like in appear
ance, that creep forward with a per-
sistency which the German troops re-
manning in their shell-battered trenches
cannot check, and which assure the
poilus of protection as they "dig in"
upon their advanced lines.
SO that an American army can know
about these tanks if sent abroad, Capt.
Charles Sweeney, a native of Spokane,
Wash, and a member of the Foreign
Legion of the French army, is now
in Washington, ID. c., where he will
assist ordnance experts in preparing
similar land cruisers for service. He
returned recently from France, where
his assignment of late had been with
a battery of tanks"
Captain Sweeney is a West Pointer,
but when the fighting began he was
found in the French army. He started
as a private in the infantry. He want
ed to be in the thick of it, so chose
that branch of the service, and during
his campaigning was in many battles.
He was awarded the cross of the Lee
giOn of Honor for valor and promoted
to lieutenant when, single-handed, he
captured a machine gun and six Ger
mans.
Very little has been written in this
or any country regarding the French
tanks. The first few used by the
French army went into action about
the same time the British put theirs
I'm the field It was not until the great
offensive began this spring that the
poilus trotted forward in support OF
great numbers of their tanks-"zan
zans," as they called them.
The best way to describe a French
tank is to compare it with a gian
hog, kneeling so that its short leg
cannot be seen, and creeping forward
as it roots in the ground.
Bullets Do Not Harm Them.
A rain of lead pours from its side
as it proceeds, and heavier shot ant

.hine guns begins when outposts OF
the German defenders empty the
chambers of their magazine rifles by
way Of alarm and try to retreat from
heir observation points just in front
# the barbed wire. Then the tanks
arrive at the barbed wire and by sheer
weight crush it and roll onward to
he first line trench.
The caterpillar wheels allow the
tank to straddle the German trench.
It is halted and a cross fire poured
Into the line The emplacements Of
German machine guns are literally
blasted away by the field pieces that
are mounted in the tanks and the
enemy reserve infantry moved down
by machine gun fire as they crawl
from their communication trenches.
At a signal from the commander of
each tank the French supporting in
fantry rushes forward. If all goes
well the ground is cleared of the enc
my and the "pOilus" reach the trench
with minimum loss. Then the sec
ond line is taken. The advance con-
tinues until the enemy line is all cap
tured, going forward n greater or less
distance according to the nature of
the ground. Tanks cannot attack bat
ferries of artillery, and therefore their
work is accomplished when the
trenches are cleared.
With the advance of the French in
fantry positions there is a relative
advance of supporting artillery in the
rear and a consequent retreat by the
German artillery.
Manned by Picked Soldiers.
Tanks are considered as the prop
erty of the infantry and the poilus
are proud of them. To be assigned to
"zanzan"-a bangbanging war
chariot-makes the Frenchman hap
py If the American army adopts
such fighting machines the tirst-class
privates will be given the honor of
becoming mechanicians and fighters
within them.
Exactly in whist proportion the
French use tanks as compared with
infantry regiments is a secret, but the
constant cry is for more. They are OF
different sizes, according to the GROUND
over which they operate, but the ten
dency of late has been to construct
them along bigger lines. The armoreC
Sides top and bottom, protect the fight
crs and the knowledge that their wOrl
saves the lives of so many of theil
fellow countrymen and allies prompts
them to do their utmost.
When the tank starts over No Mans
Land those within have as much am
muniton as can be stored in the com
partments, and also water, rations
tirst-aid packages and gas masks
There is no telling how long they viii
be Out-hOurs or days-and the sol
diers have learned that preparedness
for any emergency is the best thing.
Captain Sweeney had such success
with the tank he commanded that h
! was put in charge of battery of fou
