the Germans in any conquest of foreign markets mas
made great progress and increases in momentum every

they can encourage trade their Allies and BLOCK
trade with Germany. Private citizens everywhere are
deciding for themselves that hereafter they will neither
buy nor use articles made in Germany.
All such measures be carried into effect II tne
Allies win. What if they should lose? Even the most

THE WHlPPEr DESCRIBED
In naval sense, the usual tanks or landships'
whether they be British French German, have nero
tofore been of the batteshp ypethat is to say the!
have been slow moving, heavily armored and power
fully armed craft meant rather to stand up ana ngn'
to finish than dash in and out of combat ana 10
depend on quckness of movement the main weapon
But in breaking up and pursuing bands of Infantry
men in the open there has been distinct call TOR
destroyer type of tank-one that could travel at COM
paratvely high rate of speed and that possessed a
higher order of mobility in general.
To the British the orignators of the tank idea mas
remained the further honor Of developing tank OF
the fast destroyer type This type known as the whppet
has already made its appearance on the battehelo IN
recent open fighting, and its debut has been crowned
with success. The whppet has caterpillar treads OF
the usual design arranged either side of sort OF
fiatcar body On the platform of the hatcar is mount
ed single turret which houses the and the sew
eral machine guns with which the whippet is armed
The atcar body 18 feet in length while the
the turret is six feet in height The engine is placed
at the rear of the gun turret in separate armored
housing
It appears that the whppet tank readily make
II miles an hour and fully equipped Teuton infantry
man can hardly hope to maintain that speed for pro-
lonped period.-Scientic American.
