Gently arrived in this country, has been
quoted as saying that America really
made possible this monster Of warfare
that first in 1915 struck terror to the
hearts Of the Germans. The whole sys-
tenn Of English tanks, he explained, was
brought about by the exhibition at Ant
werp Of an American agricultural trac-
tor.
1t is less than two years ago that the
tank, with which every one now is on
such familiar terms, was awkwardly re-
ferred to as "steel war tortoise" or a
travelling fort" "The London Daily
MAIL" in September, 1919. wrote:
"These long, low, dust-covered tortoises
have no resemblance to motor cars. They
are, in fact, steel land ships of immense
power and wonderful capacity. In practice
they can climb walls, push through dense
woods, cross trenches and manmuvre in
and out Of craters. One Of the most re-
markable facts about them is the secrecy
with which the making Of their thousands
Of parts was veiled in the midland town of
their birth. The army likes them, but it is
not placing too much reliance on what is
for the present only an experiment"
Major General Swinton, who is now
fifty years old, entered the army at
twenty. At thirty-one he was a captain,

Last year the Paris paper lie Temps
organized an inquiry into the conf ON of
these Serbian prisoners. It's representative
in Switzerland carried out an exhaustive
interrogation Of exchanged and escaped
prisoners, neutral and other reliable wit
nesses. Here is his description, compiled
from sworn depositions, of camp in Ger
many where some of the Serbian prisoners
were held:
"'Thcre were about 1000 Serbs at the
prisoners camp at K6nigsbrlck (Saxony).
They were mere skin and bone, and they
were clothed in rags. They were housed
in field by themselves, divided from those
Of the prisoners of other Allied nations by
high barbed wire fence. No one was
allowed to communicate with them. The
food they were given was disgraceful-
Coffee" clear soup without any taste ard
a piece of bread. That was ALL At first
the French and British prisoners contriyed
to convey bread and jam, tobacco and
underclothing to them. But the COM
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

mandant of the camp forbade them to give
anything to their unhappy comrades. None
%she less, the Allied soldiers, touched by the
extreme misery Of the Serbs, continued to
pass little food to them by night and by
stealth. The military authorities sentenced
every guilty British or French soldier to
a fortnight in the cells. -. The Serbs
were treated even worse than the Rus
SLAMS. There was one punishment
specially reserved for them. They were
loaded with sacks filled with pebbles and
forced to run round the barracks, or they
were compelled to sit down and rise again
alternately till they broke down under the
load. Several hundred prisoners died of
hunger and exhaustion in that camp
"If possible, the Austrian camps are still
worse. At Mauthausen, which is vertable
hell on earth, over 1000 had died by May,
1917. One man who escaped from there re-
lates that prisoners could constantly be
seen digging up bones which had been
thrown on the refuse heaps and pulling up
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

"The Serbian official figures for last Au-
gust gave 100000 (e5,ooo fighting men) as
the number Of men left in the Serbian
army, which entered the war with 465,oO0.
These men represent practically the whole
able-bodied manhood Of Serbia that re-
mains free"
Up to February I, 1917, some 154,63o
Serbian prisoners had been taken by Aus
tria and Bulgaria.
How many Of these will be left to re-
habilitate their shattered country? Be-
fore last fall between $4,000 and 10000
had died in prison camps. Their Aus
trian and Bulgarian captors, it seems, are
far too proficient in the business Of "mur-
dering small nations" to run the risk of
letting any able-bodied men go home
after the war. Mr. Chadwick says fur

rife everywhere among the prisoners Of
the Central Powers, has played havoc with
the Serbs. and has killed more of them
than any other disease, though at one camp
5000 died of typhus in one week in 1915.
Here are few lines from a Russian
report made by M. Novoseioff, Of the
'Vecerne Vremya,' who visited the concen-
tration camps:
'Dysentery, typhus and spotted typhus
are raging among the Serbs apart
from. numerous cases of nephritis and
tuberculosis due to exposure. Rarely il

fifty to sixty deaths. In the huts the peo-
pie are crowded together without regard
to age or sex. The filth is indescrbable, and

shows, was a mixed camp for both soldiers
and civilians.)"

A Complex Not Psycho-
logical-The Fire-Door

DROGRESS made in modern fire pro-
lection by the fire-door is treated
in an article by C. e. Worthington in
Safety Engineering" He says:
"The modern idea Of a fre-door is that
it shall, as nearly as a door can, be as re-
sistant to fire as the wall, the opening
which it protects. Not that such q result
is attainable, but it is so nearly attainab1e
that except under extremely unusual and
unfavorable conditions the sought for re-
suit is usually realized.
"The matter Of hardware is Of very great
Importance, since door. however we'll made
in itself, that will fall away from the wall
after brief exposure cannot be called eff
fective.
ut is not unusual to find doors Of very
good construction in themselves mounted
upon the lightest of barn door tracks and
hangers, frequently of sheet metal and
fastened to wooden strips nailed above the
opening or to little wooden plugs driven
into small holes drilled in the brick by short
screws with fully exposed heads.
"In event of fire these screws heat quickly
and very soon become loose enough to fall
away. the tracks and hangers soften and

the listening-in operator would be vastly
simplifed.
"The Navy Department also knows the ex-
act whereabouts of its own submarines, and
the propeller sound of our own ships as
we'll as the sounds of our own submarines
can therefore be eliminated. Then if the oper-
ator hears certain propeller or motor
sound which is not located along the regu-
lar prescribed routes, he will Immediately
be informed that the enemy is about and
destroyers can be dispatched post-haste
toward the direction of the buoy from
where the suspicious sounds came.
"By means Of a subaqueous defence of
this kind, it would become an easy matter
for the Navy Department to make it prac-
tically impossible for the German sub
marines to break through the defence un-
noticed In that case it would, of course,
be impossible for the German submarines

Height at Which Sound
Can Be Heard

TN ONE Of his journals Camille Flam-
marion gives the heights at which
sounds from the earth are heard from
balloons. The shout Of man was heard
distinctly at the height of 1000 feet,
the sharp note Of a mole cricket at
$500 feet and the croakings Of frogs in
a morass at 5000 feet. At 1885 feet
mans voice and the rolling Of a cart
were distinguished; at 1850 feet the roll
of drum and the music of an orches-
ira; at 5000 the Growing Of cock, the
sound of church bell, and sometimes
the shouting of men and women. Nine
hundred feet higher still he heard the
report Of musket and the barking of a
dog. The noise Of railway train pene-
trated to height of 5000 feet, and the
whistle of a locomotive engine to nearly
10000 feet.-Aerial Age.

each containing sensitive transmitter are
disposed in half-circe off the shores of
Long Island over a radius of, say, fifty or
more miles, each buoy to be connected by
cable to central station, which might
be the Brooklyn navy yard. Three to
five hundred of such buoys would effective
ly help us to listen in for submarines at
the central switchboard as shown in our
illustration. The idea, of course, is to
listen In for the whirr of submarine pro-
pellers. The Navy Department has pretty
good idea what ships are leaving New York
at any time, and in what position these
ships should be at any given time. If every
outgoing and incoming ship were to take a
certain prescribed route, then the work Of

UT SEEMS to be not persecution that
Austria and Bulgaria aim at in
their treatment of Serbia, but sheer
annihilation. In an article in "Col-
,,er's Weekly E. NJ. Chadwick says that
by multiplying all of Germany's iniquity
in Belgium by itself one can get some
idea of the extent Of the massacres in
Serbia. He writes:
~That which is being done to Serbia is
not at all the kind of infamy that Germany
has practiscd in the places on which she
has laid her defling hand. Even in their
widest dreams the German war lords do
not seem to have contemplated the actual

anthracite has been stored continuously

it is chiefly because she realizes better
than Bulgaria that the Serbian people can
not be destroyed while their 100000

clamoring for freedom; but the evidence
of Austrias intention to bind to her chariot
wheel as much of Serbia as she can get and
to destroy so far as possible all trace of

extensive and too we'll authenticated to be

Builders, But Not Re-
StOrerS

"'THE Chinese are great builders, but
they seldom repair the monuments
which they have erected" Ray Chap
man Andrews writes in "The American
Museum Journal" and in substantiation
OF this statement he cites, among 9TH
ers, the following illustration:
"In Peking, one Of the most unique, pict-
uresque, and romantic cities of the world,
there are dozens of ancient buildings
which form a precious heritage Of the
Chinese people and as such should be cared
for by the nation. The Temple Of Heaven,
with its golden dome glowing like q great
ball of fire above the purple tiles of its
sloping roof, the white marble altar open
to the sky, made sacred by the worship of
Chna's most illustrious emperors, the
beautiful p'ai lou, and the marble walks be-
long to China's posterity as records of her
ancient glories. But such rare treasures
need care to protect them from the ravages
Of time and weather.
when l visited the Temple Of Heaven
less than two years ago, I found its spa
cious courtyards choked with uncut grass
and it's beautiful walks and aile-capped walls
almost obscured by growing weedse The
tiny roots were slowly but surely accom-
plishing their deadly work. The marble
slabs were cracked, the tiles broken, and
the walls crumbling; the great round tenn
pie itself Esas filled with dust and decay.
In very few decades this almost sacred
spot will present only heap Of ruins over
grown with grass and weeds, and one more
page will have been torn from the book of
China's history"

iected so strenuously to certain por-
lions of the measure creating a na-

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo

The changes were adopted ana an
informal agreement reported to vote
