most to a rout, and with it joyfully
startled the world
Following the recovering Of large
part of the territory gained by the
Germans, successful counter attack
farther north along the line wGs
launched by the British.
To the Allied hearts the best part Of
II is that the movement was carried on
by the Allied forces with smaller mum.
bers than the enemy forces were able
to command. Six months ago 1t would
have been impossible for the same
number Of Allied forces to have sue
cessNIlly carried out such movement.
The improved morale resulted from
the appearance Of American troops In
numbers.
AS the United States forces arrived
and demonstrated their fighting PROV.
ess the Allied generals and masses
realized the tide was turning and that
success was not far away
1t was not alone the American
forces, but the American dollars as
WE'LL that was accomplishing this re.
newal Of confidence.
The first, second and third Liberty
Loan issues have provided the sinews
CT war no less than the brave men who
have been sent to the front. The men
must be furnished ships for transpor,
tation, for food, supplies and muni.
tions.
Without the dollars subscribed by
the American people through the first
three Liberty Loans the success oi
American arms to date would have
been impossible.
The continued increase In transpor
tation Of American troops has demon
strated that the larger the forces tC
defeat the Germans the sooner tht
conflict will be over.
Gen. March, Chief of staff Of thC
United States Army, has said that the
lighting forces Of the United States
must be increased to 1900, 600 men. Tt
get that number Of men ready, so as t
shorten the war, will require billions
Of dollars. The American people viii

and thereby separate the English anG
French armies, so that the path tc
Paris would be clear. They knew that
the drive must be rushed, that il might
be accomplished before the American
army could be transported to Europe
The Germans failed to reckon with
the energy of the United States. The
drive that threatened to separate the
two allies forced a recognition Of the
need of getting large force to Europ
at once. 1t inspired the almost super

transportation Of 100000 fighting
Americans to European battlefieds.
Additional drives launched by the
Germans in the succeeding months

ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
TANKS ARE IMPROVED

Tanks, cavalry and armored motor
cars have had larger part in the re-
cent fighting on the Western front
than ever before in the war. They
have added greatly to the driving
weight and speed of assault of the
modern intensive attack, and their
use has been developed tremendously
by the British command since last
year.
The modern tank has twice the
speed of the earlier type, and more
than twice the radius OF action. lnfan-
try is practically powerless against
them. If infantry attempts to rush
an on coming tank they are machine
gnnned in the open. II they stay in
their trenches, the tank straddles the
line and enfilades them with direct
short-ranged fire; II they retreat to
the shellholes or dugouts, the tank
numbers along right over them, crush
ing them into the ground and caving
in the dugouts.
The light high-speed tanks known
as "whippets" are development of
this year. They are killing machines
pure and simple, for they can bear
down upon fortified points and bat
teries at such a speed that there little
chance of getting the guns or men
away in time. Their reserve of feul
enables them to remain in action
for a full day without refilling.
Moreover, the advance of the whip
pets in quickly followed by the So
called Supply tanks" which can
cross any ground, bringing up reserve
supplies of gasoline and ammunition.
The armored motorcars are neces-
sarily limited in their radius of action
owing to the fact that they most stick
to the roads, but their great speed
makes them very useful in pursuit
and they have faculty of getting
we'll back behind the enemy front and
doing endless damage by taking COM
mand of vital road junction and pre-
venting the escape of enemy guns and
transport Possibilities of infinite
adventure are open to the command
ers of such detached units.

studiously schooled in noting the
slightest. the most seemingly unim-

Every artillery observer advanced
sentinel and lookout, must report with
exactitude and detail all that he sees
