the daughter of Monsieur Coutant, once
comfortably situated mechanic of
Louatre, is shown above with her right

the Germans attended the celebration of
her eighth birthday. On Marie's BIRTH

FEAR FRENCH TANKS
Machines Spread Terror in
Ranks of Foe.
Armed CIR Helps IS Yanles to Cap
ture 700 Huns In Recent
Drive.

With the American Armies.-Gr
1aurels daily are being won by the
French light tanks which are cooper
ating with the American forces in
pushing the Germans back toward the
Rhine.
], Among the many individual feats Of
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one OF the most interest
ing is that of Bragadier Collier, WHO
has deen decorated with the cross of
the Legion Of Honor for his work In a
light tank which enabled 15 American
soldiers to capture TOO Germans.
Several hundred of these tanks led
the nounter-offensive from the ViIlers-
COfterets forest in July, which marked
what appears To have been the turning
point of the war. They broke through
the 'enemy's lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
of resistance and spreading panic and
demoralization in the German ranks.
Where the infantry was preceded
by the ~chars d'assaut," as the French
call them, the advance was three miles
q day.
TWAS these same French light tanks
which preceded the Americans in their
advance upon Juvigny and Terny on
the scissors plateau. One of them,
manned by lieutenant, killed more
tthan 200 Germans ON the plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
the Germans are greatly worried by
the light tanks and ere studiously
coaching their men in methods Of de- |
Tense against them.
The light ears have the advantage
of greater speed and of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks.
They require a crew of only two men,
driver and gunner, and carry one
Observation-Disclosures gun and machine
gun.
