TYPES OF FIGHTING
TANKS AT THE FRONT
(By Associated Press J

With the American Army in France,
July % The fighting tanks built and
used in Germany look like a turtle
by turret. They are of
a large type generally. The armor
plating is very strong, possibly double,
and affords an effective protection
against special infantry munition but
it is not gun-proof
In battles between British and Ger
man tanks, the English tanks armed
solely with machine guns were pow
erless against their opponents, while
those armed with guns of larger CALI
bre drove back the German tanks
The speed of the German tanks is very
limited in broken country.
