BRITISH SAY HATS
 OFF TO THE TANKS"

At the British Front, Sept 16.-- "Hats off to the Tanks. Blame me if they didn't win all the objectiyes set for two days by mid afternoon of the first day and in a blasted rain that gummed everything deucedly."
 Everyone in the group gave vent to his surprise and appreciation by a low whistle. The speaker was a young British officer just returned from the Lorraine front, where he served as an observer. His com rades were as eager as children to learn what the pals from overseas had accomplished in the biggest op- eration of the war. The officer continued:
 My, but those columns of Tanks looked fit, thousands of them driving on like a mighty river. Did the rain bother them? Not damned bit. All hands were chirping as it came. something about zip, zip, you've got a hair cut just as short as mine
 "I fancy it's some American rag time. But, Lord. how good it sound ed. It made every nerve in me jingle. The Tanks drove in. and then swarms of infantry hit the Germans. Then the Heinies began to run like rabbits. just as they did at some points in our big drive.
 But it was hard fighting most of the way, just as we found it last month. The Tanks were forced to win much of the ground foot by foot. The Americans mopped them up completely. It was great show, fellows The Tanks are some allies. They fight like hell. They certainly mixed it. The ground was strewn with empty pistol and rifle shells. These tell of sharp close range work.
 "The Tanks fight all the way from start to finish They are good na- tured boys of powerful build and spry as partners, always ready for joke. You need an interpreter for their slang.
 "I had to laugh when the prison CTS came in. I'll never forget the setting. It was still raining. The setting sun was nestled amid the clouds to the west, it's color that of blood orange. Against it were sil- houetted the gaunt, angled forms O. trees stripped of their limbs and leaves. From the river came the bark of the artillery The Americans were pouring toward the enemy. It seemed that there were a million of them dashing forward. Down an other road came thousands of cap- tives. The prisoners were astonish- ed to see the Americans. Two young giants were in charge of them. They seemed to talk anything but English You could hardly understand it. It was a mixture of French. English and Yankee slang
 "A captured German sergeant was a bit balky, so one of the American youngsters in charge of him drawl- ed: Allay there. you big stiff. Tootsuit Who dye think you are, a United States senator or a movie star or a sompeen. Show signs of life Gallop.'
 But with all this they were mighty considerate with the prisoners, giv- ing them cigarettes and matches. They hdded them and seemed to regard them as sort of side show
 "The American artillery was very much on the job. They potted the retreating Germans at open sight and did terrible execution. As they say in the United States, the Tanks are there'-

gratifying to note the profound pleas ure displayed by the whole group. The same interest and abrogation are manifest along the whole British front. The Tommies are as eager as the generals to hear the latest news from the American front, and they are just as quick to praise the Tanks.

TONS opposition TO any public build

ors. and that they win appreciate
the governments attitude in this,
and all other proposed appropriation

Farmers Doing Their Bit.

Phoenix, Arizona, December 27. That the farmers of Arizona have periodically responded to the Nations call for an increased acreage of winter wheat, is shown by the crop report issued at Phoe- nix recently. Reports made to the Bureau of Crop Estimates December 1 indicates that 44,C00 acres were planted in the State this year, which compares with 57,000 acres last year. In some counties the drouth made it diff cult to fully carry out the plant ing program.
 The condition of the crop Dec ember 1 was below the average, due to the dry weather. The condition is reported at 87a6, the six-year average.
