BRITISH TANK
BREAKS TREES
BEFORE CROWD
"Britannia" Satisfies Great
nhroag Of Its Power In
Feats at Rock Creek.

Before a delighted and wondering
crowd. estimated at 5000 people. the
British tank Britannia yesterday after
noon walked over large trees, over
stones, and up the hills Of Rock Creek
Park and made good" in every sense
of the word
With the Connecticut avenue bridge
filled to its capacity and Rock Creek
bridge straining under its great load
Of people, and Capt. Resnati, the IA
nous italian aviator. dropping from
his aeropIane liberty loan leaflets, the
Britannia began to perform its stunts
in the gullies between the two bridges
for the benefit Of the admiring thou
sands who filed also the surrounding
streets.
Tank Gets Big Cheer.
As he great tank came into sight
around the turn in Connecticut avenue
Just south of the bridge. some one
started a cheer and the crowd Joined
in. The Britannia made its way across
the bridge.
Stopping on the north side Of the
bridge just long enough for the crew
to get out and attach the twenty-five
pound cleats which help to hold the
tank on muddy ground, she again
started, this time down the hill at
the left OF the bridge.
Going down at an angle OF forty-five
degrees the Britannia crushed every
thing in its path. Large trees. stones,
underbTush and stumps were all treat
ed alike.
Crowd Fully Satisfied.
Reaching the bottom Of the gully the
Britannia turned to the left and con-
tinued its course under the bridge par
allel to Rock Creek.
As the tank moved under the bridge.
Capt. Haight jumped down and asked
a few questions Of some American
army officers who were4 watching its
performance. Apparently he was try
ing to ind out the depth of Rock
Creek at this point, but it was finally
decided that they would not try TO
cross the creek with the water as high
as it is through the spring rains.
Keeping a straight course. the Brit
annia moved slowly down the ravine
and turning around came back and
climbed the hill at the left OF the
bridge.
Reaching the top without difficulty.
she again stopped while her crew got
out and took OF the cleats and then
gathering headway she made or un-
der the admiring glances of the crowds
for her resting place on the Ellipse.
The crowds which gathered to watch
yesterdays exhibition went away fully
satisfied and many expressions Of sur
prise and approval were voiced as me
people made their way home.

SEED HOUSE BURNED.
Damage to Plant of Cotton Oil Co.
Perhaps $4,000.

One of the most disastrous fires
that have occurred in Bamberg in
many years destroyed the hull house
Of The Cotton Oil company Saturday
afternoon. While the exact damage
has not yet been ascertained, it is
estimated that the loss may approx
mate $4,000. The damage is par
TALLY covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered Saturday
afternoon about 8 o'clock. When
first noticed, the smoke was pouring
from the building. Just previous to
the discovery of the fire, a small
wind storm passed over the city, and
the wind served, no doubt, to fan the
smouldering fire into a serious blaze.
The fire had the appearance of hav-
ing smouldered in the house for
some time.
The building, frame structure,
was practically filled to capacity with
cotton seed hulls The contents of
the building were completely Destroy
ed.
The Cotton Oil Company has one
of the most perfect fire fighting sys-
TENS in any plant in this section
of the country, but the sudden wind
appearing just upon the outburst of
the flames made it impossible for the
mill force to handle the situation,
and help was called for from the
city fire department, which respond
ed with fine results.
The fire department did a neat
piece of work in saving the entire
oil mill from destruction. The main
building and seed house caught fire
several times, but the blaze was ex-
tinguished. The men of the team
placed themselves in considerable
danger in handling the fire, but they
stood by the nozzles and saved thous-
ands of dollars worth of valuable
property.
1t is understood that steps will be
taken at an early date to rebuild the
burned structure. This is the first
serious fire that has occurred at this
plant in many years. Owing to the
nature of the plant, fires are not in
frequent occurrences, but they are
usually handled without difficulty by
the mill force.

A Correction.

The Herald made an error last
week in it's notice as to Mr.. Paul J..
Zeigler. The statement was made
therein that he was drafted into the
national army from Orangeburg
county. The fact is that he was born
and reared in Barnwell county, at
Allendale, and after graduation at
the Citadel had an important posi-
tion in Panama, which ne gave up
and enlisted in the army. His pref
erence was for the aviation corps,
but as the matter of his assignment
to training seemed slow, he entered
the officers training school at Camp
Jackson, where he recently gradual
ed as a second lieutenant and will
shortly receive his commission.
