TANK UNIT NOW READY
"Treat EN- Rough" Finish Train
ing in England.
First American Battalion Is Taught by
Veterans of British Tank
Service.

With the American Army in Eng
land.-Another consignment of Ameri-
can man power, that might be labeled
Made IN England" is ready for ship
ment to the western front. 1t is The
personnel of the first American tank
battalion.
Trained by veterans of the British
tank service and equipped with the
most modern of the land war ships, the
new force will give an excellent
account of itself. The British coaches
of the American crews have expressed
their approval of the manner i'm which
their pupils have adapted themselves
to the operation of the machines and,
unless they are mistaken, the men
whose training in England is just be-
ing completed will be given enviable
roles. Their machines have the hest
points of both the British and French
tanks and the training of the men has
been in the light of experience already
gained by the fighters of France and
England.
To every man in the American outfit
there have been impaired the stories
of mistakes made in the early history
Of tank warfare. Enlisted men and Of.
f1cers have been told what to do and
what not to do; all their admonitions
have been based not on theory but on
actual experiences, gained in the face
of German fire, loosed always upon
the slightest intimation that the tanks
are numbering to the front.
1t is expected that because of the
excellence of the weapon with which
1t will fight and the training it has
undergone the American contingent
will prove itself exceptionally efficient.
Further cause for believing the
American Tank Corps will live up to
the estimate of the British instructors
is the character Of it's personnel, both
IGen and officers. They are carefully
selected men, picked from the thou.
sands who volunteered when the call
for tank men was made. Two base
requisites were insisted upon: First
every man must be physically fit. and
second, temperamentally adaptable
The training every man has received
has meant either that he is delivered
to the commanders at the front as O
wonderfully efficient unit or is merci.
lassly thrown out of the service. He
ia turned over to the fighting force as
an expert mechanic, man drilled in
the operation of both machine guns
and heavier ordnance. a tactician and
strategist, and, finally, as a man with
no evidence Of nerves..

old GLORY" AT FRONT
Illinois Men and Australians
Follow American Flag.
Mothers Gift to Sergeant inspires Men
to Daring Deeds at vaire
Wood.

London.-When the Illinois troops
and Australians attacked together at
Vaire wood and Hamel, sergeant OF
the American contingent took into &C
ton small American flag, the gift of
his mother. The men under him sur
rounded and destroyed a machine-gun
post hidden among tree trunks just
inside the wood. AS they went on af-
ter bombing the German crew, the SER
geant brandished the little flag over
his head and shouted, "Come on. fell
lows; there's another one" Just ahead
some Australians were fighting around
q shallow pit in which were five Prus-
slams and a machine gun. Two or
three Chicago boys dashed up with
their bayonets poised. One of them lit
orally fell on a big Rhinelander who
was about to throw a bomb and sent
him sprawling with a cracked skull,
and, with the Australians, put the re-
mainder Of the crew out of action and
cleared dugout behind of IL submits
sive fugitives. -
Still following the tiny Stars and
Stripes, little bigger than a pocket
handkerchief, but, as one, of the men
said afterwards, "1ooking like regu-
lar flag" the Americans, shoulder to
shoulder with the Australians, passed
through the eastern end of the wood
and out into the open fields again.
'"The first time have ever fought I'M
der the American flag, Yank," said a
tall, raw-boned Queenslander with a
first-aid bandage round his head. They
arrived at their final objective, group
Of strong, well-sheathed trenches
linked with the rear defenses of Ham,
ell village, and here the Chicago SER
geant planted his emblem on bit Of
wood and set it on the parapet. Bull
lets whistled all round it, cutting the
silk into ragged strips and eventually
it was wholly shot away save one I'M
recognizable fragment, which was pre-
served as precious souvenir Of an
historic day.
