SPECIAL USES
OF The TANKS
TO CUT WIRES

Tanks have two special functions.
They are useful in cutting the enemy
barbed wire and putting the enemy
machine guns out of action. Wire
and machine guns are the chief OBJ
stacles to a successful attack. By
means of their caterpillar-like trac-
tors the big, steel monsters can move
over the rodghest sort of ground, into
shell craters and out again, on to
trench parapets and over. The Brit
ish were the first to employ them, al
though the tank is said to be an
American invention. They may be
listed as one of the successful sur
prises of the war.
German soldiers in the first battle
of the tanks vainly tried to find a
way to crack the shells of the mon
ster with their rifle butts and all the
time the men. in the tank were pour
ing out destructive fire. Machine
gun bullets did penetrate some OF
the early tanks but they were soon
strengthened so as to be immune from
anything except the direct hit of a
shell. Both sides are now using
tanks. The Germans employed a new
type in their offensive against the
British and our army will be sup
piled with large number according
to ambitious plans.
Successful work by the tanks cuts
down infantry losses enormously and
buyers of bonds for the Third Liberty
Loan may have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they are helping to sup
port a war industry which will moi
| only bring victory nearer but save
many lives of those who are engaged
in the great enterprise.

With the British Army in France,
Sunday, April 7-(By the Associated
Press)-No finer chapter has been
provided from the story of the British
defense since the German offensive
began than that furnished by the cav
airy.
Never during the present war had
horsemen been given the chance
which they had in this more or less
open warfare, and they made the
most of it. They have been here,
there and everywhere, filling in gaps,
Strengthening the lines and covering
the retirement of infantry Their
work has been brilliant and they
thoroughly enjoyed every minute of
it, despite the gruelling engagemeu ts.
The correspondent saw long lines
of cavalry on the road yesterday. They
were battle worn and plainly showed
the marks of hard lighting. More
than one trooper led riderless horse.
But the mems heads were up and
their lances described defiant circles,
while the horses cavorted as if they,
too, were ready for more trouble.
In the first three days of the Ger
man drive the cavalry fought mostly
on foot and did valuable work. 1t
was dismounted cavalry that held the
Allezy- Ham line on March % while
the infantry withdrew. There was
terrific fighting here. One party of
dragons was cut off all night, during
which it was out in the open battling
for life. Finally the men cut their
ok, ha 1fTona NJ
Jussy by main force.
On the 23rd the cavalry came into
it's own, for the horses were brought
forward and the troopers began a
series of spectacular feats.
When Noyon was first threatened
cavalry was sent to hold the line Of
the Ise west of the town. The British
infantry was forced to fall back on the
26th and the cavalry was pulled back
also with the intention of occupying
the ridge near the village of Porquer-
icourt in the vicinity of Noyon. The
Germans also were after this hill.
A race developed between the horse
men and the enemy infantry across
the rolling ground. The Germans
reached the northern part of the wood
but the cavalry arrived at the other
side at about the same time and went
rushing through the forest against the
Germans An intense battle at close
quarters ensued and the cavalry was
doing great execution when the order
came to fall back to cover the retire
ment of the infantry, which had sue
cumbeid to pressure at other points.
The troopers withdrew from the wood
and brought up the rear, pausing Of
ten to fight rear guard actions with
the hotly pressing Germans.
The next action was on March 30,
when the Germans got into wood
