This is the picture of the new war
fare the tank men draw.
Dispatches from Germany reveal the
fact that the German High Command

tles"-a new type Of tank-iarger than
the first British tanks and armed with
heavy guns-some reports say six-inch
and even eight-inch guns. The cater
pillar treads are entirely hidden by
armor plate and there is a sharp pro-
lection at the front-for ramming.
The allied governments are prepared
to meet the threat.
The British-first to develop the
tank-are building still larger ma
chimes. The French are developing
their own types. Our own govern
ment is turning out a fleet of tanks,
the first of which are now going for
waSd to Gen. Pershing.
When a British tank goes into bat

drive for, it. Machine gun bullets

and explode. When knocked out anC
in danger of capture, the tank com.
mander is supposed to save his guns
and destroy the tank if possible
Heavier armor and heavier guns are
now being used.
The only defense against the tanks
the Germans have been able to devise
is the mining of vast areas in front
Of their trenches, with the top crust
propped up, SO that the tanks, OF
enormous weight, will fall into the
deep mine when they pass over the
seemingly secure surface. But witt
the increased number Of tanks in
operation it is impossible to carry or

N. Y. CONGRESSMAN
ACKNOWLEDGES GIFT
Former Representative Fitzgerald
Thanks Colleagues for Silver Set.

Fond remembrance Of former Rep
reseotative John ]. Fitzgerald, who
recently retired because his Congress
rional salary could not keep pace
with the hign cost OF living, was
stirred In the House yesterday when
Representative Tre4dway read a let
ter from him addressed TO himself.
In which Mr.. Fitzgerald thanked. the
members for their kind parting gift
of a chest Of silver containing 80
pieces. His letter follows:
Fitzgerald, StapIeton & Mahon,
LII Broadway, New York, March z,
1913.
Hon. Allen T. Treadway,
House of Representatives.
Washington, d. c.:
Dear Allen-As recently informed
you. Mrs. Fitzgerald suggested that
the memento from the House be some
fat silver. her notion being that IT
would be something the nature of
which would constantly recall the
great kindness of the members. and
could more readily be apportioned
between our little girls after we are
gone.
The chest of silver of more than Z5t
pieces has been delivered. II is q
beautiful gift and appreciated more
than I can adequately express.
The brief period that has elapsed
since my retirement has given me an
opportunity TO realize much more
keenly the wonderful whole-hearted
and sincere friendship of my col
leagues. 1t is a memory which ia
cherished most highly. and is the most
precious heritage I shall leave my
children.
May l again most heartily thank the
House, and acknowledge my great in
debtedness to my former colleagues
for their consideration.
As ever, very sincerely yours.
JOHN J. FITZGERALD.
Through a popular subscription the
House subscribed Sl.O23 to be forward
ed to Mr.. Fitzgerald for the purchase
OF the gift.

Capt. Haigh is in command OF the
tank "Brittania," now in New9 ork
for the British Recruiting Mission.
He has taken part in three tank
battles-two at Arras and one at
Ypres-and probably knows more
about tank warfare than any man
in this country.

against our regulations for me to
make any predictions concerning
the coming battle of the tanks.

Geneva, March 11.-Reprisals against
Germany are demanded by the allied
portion of the Swiss press for the
sinking of the steamship Sardinero

Henry Slender and son were up
from their farm northwest of lone
yesterday, the young man appearing
before the local draft board to take
his examination. Mr.. Slender states
that the storm of last week did him
but little damage, there being no
hail at his place. The rain, however,
came down in sheets and was driven
by a fierce wind, this having the
effect Of breaking down much of the
wheat. He was busy in the field
with his heading at the time. The
water raised several feet in the
gulch passing his house. While the
storm was at its height the water
ragged down the canyon to such
depth that there was no chance
whatever of getting over. Mr..
Slender had large portion of his
grain headed and the damage to his
crop was light as consequence.
