Late Model Tanks to
Be Used on U. S. Front

Washington. Nov. "a. - Tanks, for
the American Army are expected to
be as effective in every way as those
used by the British in their great
drive, It was learned yesterday, al
though no details of construction or
as to the number of machines being
built were available.
1t is an open secret that some
American officers have not, up to this
time at least regarded the tanks as
highly desirable for the American
transportation and the ponderous
character of the tank equipment.
There has also been some question
heretofore as to their actual military
value.
British experience, past and pres
ent, is believed to have made it GER
tain, however, that tanks will do their
share on the American lines, when a
sector in France is taken over by
General Pershing.
The tanks developed numerous
weaknesses when first tried out by
the British. There are indications,
however, that new British tanks and
also the French. are a great improve
ment over the first models in both
speed and general mobility.
