tained effort and number of men en- gagged, the battle we are waging be- tween the Mouse and the Argonne is the greatest in the 142 years and more of American history. It is one of the most important in direct and contributory results already obtained, and in the promise it holds.
 The reduction of the St. Mihiel sa- lient, the first offensive of our First Army, began on September 12. Ex- actly two weeks later, the First Ar my's offensive between the Mouse and the Argonne, involving hundreds of thousands of men, was launched. This necessitated the Shift in, the mean time of an enormous number of troops from the St. Mihiel salient to the region of the new attack, and was an accomplishment of which any ar- my might well be proud. We have equally good reason to be proud of the fact that the Allied High Command selected American troops for the post of honor between the Mouse and the Argonne, in the present grand offens- i've of the Western Front, and of the great influence our attack there has already played in recent events on that front.

TANK" FIGHTING
 IS NO SINECURE,

Machine-gun bullets sprayed against the sides of tank produce a queer effect within it, says one British army officer who has spent three months fighting with his tank in France. The bullet, he says, cannot pierce the ar nor but it does knock off on the in- side thin flake of steel that pulver- izes and flies in all directions. It gets into the faces and hands of the crew and stings them like strong wind on a cold day. The surgeons have found that simple bath of iodine solution will heal the pain and prevent infec- tion. Describing the scene within a tank which is being hit with machine gun bullets the officer said:
 "As the bullets strike the tank, si- multaneously with the sound of im- pact and the creation of the flake, blue flame is seen, and when ma chine-gun is playing up and down the joints in the hope of finding a weak spot, the interior looks much like demonstration of cheap fireworks.
 While there is no danger from ma chine-guns to tank crew, there is real and pressing danger from ar mor-piercing or explosive shells.
 ''Unless it is possible to get within a mile of the guns before being dis covered one is liable to come within a range of shells that will wipe the tank off the face of the earth. A direct hit means that everybody is go- ing to get hurt with the chances that somebody is going to get killed. The Germans were always trying to make such hit. Once within mile of tic enemy the tank is comparatively safe for the guns cannot be depressed to get the range. Then the only thing the tank has to deal with is the ma chine-gun. When this is accurately located the tank quickly runs it down. The German machine-gunner was Germany's best fighter. Generally he would hang on to position pepperihg the numbering tank until he found it was no use and fled or was run over.
 "One of the tricks we. learned was the tremendous value of tanks against masses of enemy troops. At first we were content to use the ordinary ma chine-guns in tanks but in the latter months we used the shell timed to ex- plode as it left the gun, scattering it's scores of leaden bullets like a shot gun. Troops without artillery were completely unable to stand such fire"

ITALIAN CONCERT
TOBEFEATURE.OF
MUSICAL SEASON
BY J. Mach.


The Italian war relief benefit con-
cert. with the greatest OF It%.y 5
singers, Enrico Caruso, as the Ieading
artist, promises to be the most bril-
liant and important musical and So
cial affair of the entire season.
1t was through the personal in
huence Of the Italian ambassador sac
Count V. Macchi di Cellere, that Mr.
Caruso consented to sing in Washing
ten this spring. Count di Cellere,
during a talk in New York with Cs-
russo. in some way brought about the
subject OF this first notable aid for
Italy that was being planned in tho
National Capital. Immediately, as is
his habit in all large benefit work for
his native land, the great tenor of the
Metropolitan Opera volunteered to
sing.
1t is known that Caruso is refus-
ing TO tour in concert this year, and
thus the appeal for Italy is of a two
fold benefit to Washington. Then,
too, the event has a deeply sympa-
thetic side for Mr.. Caruso, because
his son is now at the front in Italy
and the fates of war are brought
doubly near to him.
