WAY To SILENCE
TANKS Of ALLIES
(By Newspaper Enterprise Associa-

London, Oct. S.--The Germans are
frantically searching for an antidote
to the tanks.
The allied tanks. combined with air
planes, have proved to be an antidote
to the German machine gunsl
Permanently on the defensive, the
Importance of the machine gun to
Germany has more than doubled since
Foch grabbed the initiative for keeps
And never in the war have the ma
chine guns been OF so little use To the
Germansl
Both fliers and tank fighters have
been trained in devices and codes by
which the exact locations of machine
gun nests We're accurately pointed out
by the airplanes.
The success of this development
accounts in large measure for the
huge captures of machine guns and
the remarkably low allied casualties
since the Germans were first hurled
back on the Marne in July.
So far the Germans have tried three
principal plans to stop the tanks.

can be carried out only in certain ia

will not permit flooding in many cases.
Second-+Tank traps. These con
sist Of big holes in the ground, COW
cred with sticks and dirt to conceal
them. But special corps of engineers
have quickly located these and the
tanks were guided around them
Third-Tank mines. These consist
of planted mines connected by ca
bles The mines are supposed to ex-
plode when the tanks hit the cables.
But the cables have been cut by engi-
neers.
The anti-tank guns have proved a
failure. And in general artillery work
in the recent British offensive the
Germans have been licked to a fraz-
zle. It is officially stated that the
BRUSH counter-battery work in this
offensive has resulted in the destruc-
ton Of ten times as many guns as the
British lost.
