TANK IDEAS Of
GERMAN ORIGIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE use Of
tanks in warfare resulted from ideas
gained by a British official while
watching the demonstration OF an
American farm tractor in a German
city in 1913, This official account Of
the origin of the tanks is given by Col
|, c. WelborH, director of the tank
corps of the United States army, in his
annual report made public today.
The report contains no Information
as to the American tank program, as
It was prepared before the cessation Of
hostilities.
For several years prior to the world
ward, the authorities Of the British
army had been endeaVortng to create
some machine highly destructive in its
lighting capacity and at the same time
affording maximum protection to
human life, The Holt Manufacturing
company. makers of the Holt farm
tractor, were giving a tractor lemon
stration in one of the large German
cities about 1913. A representative OF
the British government who happened
TO see the exhibit conceived the idea
hat the caterpillar tractor principle
might be employed in propelling a huge
steel fighting machine which would en-
able a moving fort to negotiate the
steepest hills and move over difficult
ground impossible OF passage by any
other vehicle. This officer immediate
ly brought the tractor to the attention
Of Gen. L. j. Swinton, Of the British
army, who also realized the effective
use to which the caterpillar tractor
could be put.
Extensive experiments were begun
under Gen. Swinton. and in September,
1916, the first tanks ever employed IN
warfare were launched on the British
front in France
