STRIKERS IN
BIG TURNOUT

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. "a
Portland is reminded today that
it has a telephone strike on its
hands. A big crowd of strikers
and sympathizers swarmed thru
the streets last night and for two
hours controlled the downtown
section of the city.
The night relief of police was
In a suburb running down an in
sane man, SO that girls were not
interfered with by officers, altho
two strikers were arrested and
later released.
The demonstration conferred
about downtown exchanges and
was the biggest labor demonstra-
ton Portland has witnessed in
many years.

FRENCH HOLD
NEWEST GAIN

PARIS, Nov. 22.-General Pc
tain's troops held fast today to
new ground gained in yesterdays
offensive between Craonhe and
Berry-au-Bac.
The attack was a concentrated,
localized assault covering a front
of little more than half q mile
and aimed at very strong German
positions. All detectives were at
tanned to an average depth of
about quarter of a mile.
Intense artillerying was report
ed In this sector today.

ticular tankodrome, a number of
the creatures were paving the
ground in the center of a field,
apparently eager to begin the
show.
The whole thing was unreal, a
bit of Jules Verne, a Brobding-
nagian horse show.
Near the field, sheds and.shops
housed tanks in various stages of
construction and repair.
In one corner of the field a
number of the uncouth beasts had
apparently been let out to Craze.
Like Liner.
Climbing aboard one which was
ready in the center of the field
to be put thru its PAGES, | found
an interior as neat and shipshape
as an ocean liners. -. :.
1t was clean and polished. its
walls painted white, and there
was even a mating carpet on the
small bits of floor space not pre-
empted by intricate machinery.
Doesn't stay that way long
when she's in action" said one Of
the crew.
1--WE are soon simply living in
mud. Mud works all thru her in
sides, in Masses"
AS smoothly as ship sliding
out of port, the tank got under
way, travelling considerably faster
than the passengers had expected
possible.
Power in Evidence
When proceeding with port
holes and doorways open, the in
terror is well ventilated. and the
engines, over which two of the
crew are continually tinkering,
do not seem to be raising any very
deafening din.
Like ships officers on the
bridge, two of the tanks masters
are perched up forward, peering
out ahead and coaxing various
stunts out of the beast.
The power lurking
in its ponderous frame was evil
dent when it first began to in
dulge in maneuvers.
While gliding easily over the
straight-away, at every turn it
lurched heavily, exactly like a
mammoth animal alive with a
great deal more strength than it
knew what to do with.
Takes Obstacles.
That the try-out might be COM
plete, artificial obstacles had been
prepared and the tank took them
like a giant iron beetle engaged
in a clumsy steeplechase.
1t rammed head-on up the face
of a mound of earth and timbers
(rattling its passengers about like
pease in a pod), pant
ing, paving and scrambling to the
tune Of furious rearing, and fin
ally clambered after a slip or two
right up the side of the mound
and flopped down on top like a
seal scrambling onto a rock.
After moments rest 1t dove
off the other side, giving Mother
Earth and It's passengers terrific
jar and smashing everything with
in reach.
(Long passage here deleted by
the censor.)
That's the kind of animal the
tank crews ride into battle.
Popular Service.
1t Is no secret that they do not
invariably come back. There are
tank casualties as well as air.
plane casualties. have clam
bered as one of party Of CORE
spondents thru dead tanks, batter
ed and ditched amid the debris OF
q battlefield.
what hellish way to meet
your death, in that iron SHELF"
was the universal comment.
1t must be CHASTITY fate, and
yet there are more candidates for
service in the tanks than can be
accommodated
When the full story of the cool,
dauntless heroism of the tank men
can be told, it will rival the great
est feats accomplished by any
branch of the service.
