FROM TRACTOR TO TANK
erltlsher Gained idea From American
Farm Machine.

arm WdGH'NSs
Washington, Dec. 5.-tA. P)-The
use OF tanks In warfare resulted from
ideas gained by a British official while
watching the demonstration OF an Ann
erican farm tractor In a German city
In 1918. This Official account or the
origin of the tanks is given by Cot. I.
C. Welborn, director OF the tank corps
Of the United States army. In his an
uual report made public today. The re-
port contains no information as to the
American tank program. as 1t was pre-

For several years prior to the world
war the authorities for the British army
had been endeavoring to create some
machine highly destructive In It's fight
ing capacity and at the same time
affording maximum protection to hu-
man life. The Holt manufacturing
company, makers of the Holt form
tractor, were giving a tractor demon
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

enable a moving fort to negotiate the
steepest hills and to move over difficult
ground, impossible OF passage by any
other vehicle. This officer Immediately
brought the tractor to the attention
of Gen. Il. d. Swinton, OF the British
army. who also realized the effective
use TO which the caterpillar tractor
could be put.
First Used In 1916.
Extensive experiments were begun
under Gen. Swinton. and in September
1915 the first tanks ever employed In
warfare were launched on the British
front in France. Current history gives
accurate and interesting account ol
their service, and the establishment In

ENGLAND READY
TO HEAR WILSON
Never Before So Willing to
Aid Realization of Amer
iCa'S Policies.
BRITISH APPRECIATIVE
Of Overseas Ally, Whose Po-
litical Troubles They Deem
None of Their Business"

(London Times-Phil. Ledger Cop. Cable.)
London, Dec. Sit Is stated here
that tentative decisions Of high i'm
portance have been reached by the
allied conference here which is now
concluded. The exchange Of views
has been frank. In the course of
one session Marshal Foch explained
the military position with the assist
| ance of a map and talking for an
hour and half discussed all the
possibilities. US w tsri
!, The DECISIONS reached relate to the
borrowing subjects: '-'-sf1 <
The allies preliminary conference
in Paris; the extension Of the armis-
tice; the extradition of the kaiser;
indemnity and compensation from
Germany; French and Italian local
interests; the formation of new
states, particularly with reference to
Polish south Germany: Serbian,
Greek, Rumanian and Czecho- Slo-
vaks aspirations for shipping, and
also the general peace conference.
The armistice will be extended.
The preliminary peace conference
with President Wilson present, Will
begin Monday week, next.
All decisions, 1 may repeat, are
tentative. pending consultation with
the American delegates. Many COL
umns are being printed here record
ing different viewpoints expressed in
America on Wilson'S visit and also
on the principles Of peace. 1t is
needless to say they are read with
keen interest, but the attitude of the
British press is singularly correct In
emphasizing the fact that Britain
has nothing to do with Americas S
internal dssensions. The president
Of the United States is assured of
an overwhelming welcome in Eng
land and also at the peace conference
where his detached, idealistic views
are expected to be Of the utmost as
sistance. All important newspapers
express this point of view. The dark
days of March and April last when
America so eagerly redoubled her
efforts to give immediate assistance
to the allies, are still vivid In the
minds of the people here.
There has been considerable acer-
bity of expression here by Americans
in their discussion of recent Amerl-
can political developments, as Is their
free-born privilege, but the impress
sion is not abroad here that the
views expressed by some Americans
here have been echoed in Washing
ton as the views Of Englishmen.
Therefore, 1 may repeat, it is recog-
nized here that Americas internal
discussions are none of our busi-
ness; and England is only too glad
to welcome Americas officials here
Indeed, all Americans are being
welcomed here in spirit of frank
sincerity. There never was day
when England was reader to go
across to any possible distance to-
ward the realization Of Americas
aspirations and policies.

PROLIFIC CAUSE OF CANCER
Prominent Surgeon Points Out Danger
in Taking Too Hot Foods Into
the Stomach.

DR.. William J. Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi, now major in the United States
army, says that 80 per cent of all can
GERS of civilized man are in the stom-
ach, and this condition is uncommon
among primitive men and animals. He
believes that many such cancers are
caused by chronic liberation of the
stomach.
Doctor Mayo told the national ses-
sion Of the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons of North America that men had
cancer of the stomach more frequent
ly than women because man Is In the
habit Of taking his food hotter than
the average woman takes hers. WOm-
an sits at the foot Of the table and
pours the tea and coffee, serving the
men of the household first and drink
ing hers after 1t has cooled somewhat.
Among the Chinese the same rule
holds good Of eating rice, for the wom-
en- eat at the second table.
Doctor Mayo said food and drink
should not be taken into the stomach
hotter than can be borne comfortably
in the mouth, for the mouth has sensi-
tive nerves expressly to protect the
doorway to the body, while the stom-
ach has not.
