Thraoians Used ~Tanks.v

The modern tank had its precursor,
however, in crude, says the Christian
Science Monitor. One can read all
about it in Alexander the Greats ex.
ploits. Just to show their dislike OF
Alexander in particular, and of Pan
Hellenism in general, the Thracians In
vented war machines in the shape of
loaded wagons and conveyed them to
Mount Haemus, so as to command the
pass through which Alexander's sol.
diers must march. At the critical mo-
ment, the big, numbering wagons, load
ed with rock, were launCisyd straight
on the helpless men below. Alex
ander, however, met this onslaught
by ordering his men to lie down, and
to interlock their shields above them,
so that the vehicles could roll over
road of shields. By this maneuver,
we are told, he saved his army from

is about three-quarters of horse pow

one-seventh of horse power. The
power of dynamos and electric hotGrs

rated in kiOwatts rather than in horse

Driven by hunger we approached

was to hasten to the wells and drink.

we could,
"Where are the others?" he asked.

"Never mind" the noncommissloned

had become disagreeabIe to him. "Wait

the o11icers?" -
Again no one could answer. "What
are their names? shall find them.
Perhaps they are in Vitry."
