alone to live its own life; and wants
other nations to be free to do the
same thing"

they enabled the Germans to bring up
their batteries without being discov-

invented the famous snapper" elixir,
partly bears out the statement made
by the Hun war correspondent. He
knows all the habits of the Johnny

make some noise when they begin to
croak. 81 don't know anything about

Aerial Tank.

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in noun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was so situated on
a mountain side that 1t poured har-
assing fire into an Italian post. The
Austrian position was unassailable by
ordinary means, but it was necessary
that it be wiped out. A 'Teleferica"
car, many Of which are operated by
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides, was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun-
teers were called for, and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial dreadnaught was then swung
out across the valley, After one or
two exploration trips at dizzy height,
the men in the car finally located the
Austrian post and quickly put it out
Of action.
