British Tanks Prove Right to Place Among
Modern Engines of Warfare In
Bloody Battle of Flanders

"kamerade," and gave themselves up.
This was a capture totalling sixty
Having silenced this fort the tank
crossed the Steenbeek river and pro-
ceeded through the shel-torn main
street of ST. JtiSn to the northern
side. 1t assisted the infantry to clear
the place of the German defenders,
who were concealed in the buildings
and then returned without having suf-
fered damage, leaving the British in
possession.
The British next day withdrew
from St. Julien, but continued to shell
the place SO heavily that the Germans
could only re-occupy it in part. Later
the British re-entered the village un-
der cover of heavy barrage and took
up the positions which they hold to-
day.
Valuable work also was done by the
tanks in sections of woodland back
of the German defenses astride the
Ypres- -Menin road. The largest of
these reaches of forest had a strong
redoubt in front The wood was filled
with machine guns and afforded ap-
portunity for the massing of German
troops. The tanks were sent ahead to
clear it out. The redoubt in front of
the wood was taken after fierce fight
between the guns of tank and those
of the little fort
Beyond the redoubt the tanks
found themselves under a steady hail
of machine gun bullets, but they
lined UP on the edge Of the woods
and for hours continued to sweep
them with their guns, until all con-
cealed machine guns had been
searched out and the Germans forced
to retire. The tanks then returned
behind the British infantry. Two
tanks were ditched temporarily near
Frezenberg, but helped to repeal a
counter attack by the Germans. The
enemy belieying the tanks helpless be-
cause they were stuck i'll the deep
mud, advanced in the hope of fegain-
ing the ground lost and capturing the
monster machines. The tanks opened
fire. on the advancing line OF infantry
and moved the Germans down i'll
large numbers. Scotch troops finished
the repulse with bayonets.

cling in the dark toward the front
some time before the battle, encoun-
tered railway wagons standing at a
crossing.
The operator of the tank did not
see the obstacle and the engineer of
the train could not hear the approach
of the tank because of the noise made
by his machinery. The tank went
through the train as if it were made
of pasteboard and continued its lum-
bering but ruthless way, leaving one
of the railway wagons much the worse
for wear.
The tanks did much fighting in the
difficult country about Saint Julien
and Frezenberg and in the territory
lying directly east of Zillebeke.
Spectacular Battle at Frezenberg.
At the defenses near Frezenberg a
spectacular battle occurred. This con-
sisted of two strong redoubts, one of
which was known as the castle. In
front of them flows the Hanebeek
and the surrounding ground was
marsh-like and difficult for heavy
bodies to move across.
The attacking tanks advanced over
the stream and sodden ground under
a heavy fire from the machine guns in
the redoubts and the anti-tank guns
hidden behind the Notifications. One
tank worked its way around the castle,
and opening fire, drove all the de-
tenders into the other redoubt. 1t
then forced its way to the rear of the
occupied redoubt and compelled all
the enemy to flee back to the castle,
where, in frenzy of fear, the Ger
mans took refuge.
At this point other tanks joined in
the fray and after surrounding the
castle delivered a concerted assault,
clearing the castle for the second
time, as we'll as all the outlying de-
lenses.
Fort Is Captured.
Another tank attacked St. Julien
with the infantry. 1t drew the fire
of a small fort to the west of the
village and turned aside to deal with
this. One shot only it fired at the for
tihcation and the Germans to a man
ran out with hands raised crying,

Notwithstanding the continuing in
clement weather, French forces drove
in beyond the Kortekeer Cabaret,
moving their lines forward, while their
patrols pushed back German outposts
and explored considerable areas in ad-

ARTILLERY FIRE VIOLENT.
Berlin announces an increase in the
artillery fire to great violence at times
on the Flanders front. Apparently
the renewal of the great battle in all
its fury is only awaiting the return
OF favorable weather.

clear that no shifting of British troops
was found necessary to cope with the
situation created by the German di-

One Great Monster PIoWs Its
Way Through Railway Train
and Proceeds on Its Way;
Terrorize Enemy.
(By Associated Press.I

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Aug. 5.-The great squadron
of tanks which went into action with
the British infantry at dawn Tuesday
proved their right to place among
the modern engines OF war.
The battle of Flanders furnished the
most comprehensive test of the worth
of these monsters as fighting ma
chimes which has yet been given and
they came through the ordeal with
flying colors, Notwithstanding the fact
that they were operating under the
most trying conditions of terrain.
The opening of the conflict saw a
considerable concentration of tanks.
Fewer tanks proportionately were
knocked out by direct hit than in
any previous engagement.
Total of the casualties among the
tank crews was remarkably low and
most of these were among men who
deliberately left off the cover of their
iron fort and worked in the open TN
der machine gun fire.
Material Damage Enormous.
The material damage the tanks did
to the enemy defenses was enormous
aud prisoners state that heavy casual
ties were inflicted on the Germans.
That the enemy is extremely afraid
of the tanks is without question and
in numerous instances the Germans
surrendered freely on the mere ap-
pearance of one of these engines,
which truly are Of terror inspiring ap-
pearance. At one place eight German
officers surrendered without question
when tank crawled up and threat
ened to open fire and sixty soldiers
were captured by az single tank near
Saint Julien.
There were accidents, which, though
regrettable, were not without touches
