BY FREDERICK NJ. KERRY.
IN. Z. A. Staff Correspondent J

ToBYHANNA, Pa Sept S0-I have
been watching the BLACK Toms" learn
Ing how to Treat EN- Rough"
Here at Camp Summersll, in the
mountains Of Pennsylvania, is the in
strutcion center for the men OF our
new service-the tank oorps-or the
Black Toms" as they prefer 10 be
known. Although their official insignia
is the picture Of tank surmOunting
two salamanders, unofflcially the black
tomcat has been selected by the men as
their insignia, and the motto, Treat
En- Rough" is the inspiration OF the
corps.
Tank men have to be specialists. II
requires a high degree OF nerve TO get
inside a perambulating steel monster
and amble all alone into the enemy's
lines with the knowledge that every
battery In reIch is trying TO put shell
into you. So the tank men have been
rather carefully selected. Practically
all OF them are volunteers, and IL
struck me that an undue proportion OF
those | saw have red hair.
At Tobyhanna real tank training be
gins. The recruits are concentrated
flrst at Gettysburg and taught infan-
try drill, but they come to Tobyhanns
to get their first look az a tanks in
sides. They are organized into light
tank and heavy tank battalions.
For three months they go 20 the
most interesting school that most OF
them have ever attended. Under Col
Oilel w. ". Clopton, Jr., the command
ing officer, the courses are conducted
by Captain Robert r. HashbrOuck. Both
have seen tank service al the front.
As neither officers nor men, when they
oUme 10 Tobyhanna, know anything
about tanks. they go 10 school together.
The men destined 10 take care OF the
mechanism Of the heavy tank are sent
To- the heavy mechanical school" That
course includes instruction In the care,
operation and construction OF the tank
The tank Is taken to pieces and laid
out piece by piece.
Then there Is the driving course"
which teaches skill in handling the
tank. This starts with simple driving

stunts that a tank can be called upon
10 perform.
Our heavy tanks will be armed with

fancy shooting on the two big ranges
that any branch Of the service can put

The personal weapon OF the tank
corps Is the automatic service pistol
and every man from colonel TO cook
carries one. Everybody must go
through a gas defense school. Then
there Is a course teaching men how TO
steer a tank by compass.
All the men got the course in pro

from enemy airplanes with nets. rail-

thing that may be found on a battle

Most important is the course in

EASTERN POET VISITS OXFORD
Japanese Man Of Letters Moralizes
over the Changes That Have
Been Wrought by Time.

Yone Noguchi, Japanese poet, wan
dering through Oxford and Stratford
on literary pilgrimage, strikes even
himself as incongruous, an odd inter
section OF time and fate in space. He
is led to wonder, writing his impress
sions of these two shrines in Black
woods, whether Addison. staring
down at him out OF a frame at Cor
pus Christi, ever thought that Jap
anese poet would come some day in
the long future and dine before his
picture On the other hand, had Ad-
Olson foreseen such visit, the thing
most astonishing about 1t to him
would have been that the antipodean
visitor should in all things appear to
be the cultured European man of let
tiers. To Noguchi oxford is no new
and strange land, as would be the
Louvre to Utamaro. Avon holds for
him the same refexes that 1t does
for Alfred Noyes. Although he was
born in Japan, he is. TO all intents
and purposes, rooted in European art
