whether or not the company will be
allowed TO increase the fare to six

The suggestion was made by Claude
A Stewart. who on Tuesday dis
patched a letter to the mayor and
council. containing the following
points:

A suggestion that the matter be

to the people who are directly at

Best To Kill
Diseased Birds

There are some cases in which
medicines may be advantageously
given or applied 10 fowls. but. as a
rule. when a bird becomes sick it
is better to kill il, because the cost
OF medicine and the value Of the
time required to carry out the
treatment are gretaer than the
value Of the bird which is cured
Another reason for killing sick
birds is that they may be affected
by a contagious disease which be-
fore it is recognized may spread
to many other birds in the flock.
a third reason for killing is the
fact that a bird being sick indi-
Gates that il is more susceptible to
disease than the other birds Of the
flock. and in order to establish a
flock which is able to resist dis
ease such susceptible birds must be
eliminated

 branch of the army service that makes
 a greater demand on the physical en-
 durance of the man than the tank
 service, and certainly none calculated
 to test the nerves more, for within
 the very small fighting space there
 is combined the roar of the heavy
 ordnance, the rattle of the machine
 guns, the aerid smell of burning pow der, and the suffocating fumes of burn
 ing oil and gasoline. Into this little
 space, not more than eight feet long, and four or five wide and with a cell ing so low that a man cannot stand upright, there is crowded the crew.
 The actual experiences of the Brit ish instructors. many of whom were in the first tanks used in the war, have been reproduced in the most

STORIES OF THE WAR
Training The Tankmen.

Another consignment of American man power that might be labelled Made in England is ready for ship rnent to the Western front. It is the personnel of the first American tank battalion.
 Trained by veterans of the British tank service, and equipped with the most modern of the land warships, tae new force is expected to give an ex- eellent account of itself The British coaches of the American crews have expressed their approval of the man ner in which their pupils have adapted themselves to the operation of the machines and, unless they are mis- taken, the men whose training in England is just being cornpleted will be given enviable roles. Their ma chimes have the best points of both the British and French tanks and the training Of the men has been in the light Of experiences already gained by the fighters Of France and England.
 To every man in the American out fit there has been irnparted the stories of mistakes made in the early history of tank warfare. Enlisted men and officers have been told what to do and what not to do; all their admonitiens have bee based not on theory but on actual experiences. gained in the face of German fire. loosed always upon the slightest intination that the tanks are numbering to the front.
 | But as a reminder. perhaps. that the 1 eneny's fire is seldom affective Is the ] insignia adopted for the American l tank eorps-two salamanders, crawling ! creatures that worm their way un- 1 harmed through the flame and smoke. | It is expected that because of the
 excellence of the weapon with which
 it will fight and the training it has undergone the American contingent
 will prove itself exceptionally eff
 cient: for, even as the American er- i gineers have been careful to combine in the American tank the best fea-
 lures of those now used by the Brit 1 ish and the French, so have the in
 structors of the personnel been scrup- lously careful to inculcate the most l advantageous methods of offence and i defence.
 Further cause for believing the American tank corps will live up to the estimate of the British instructors is the character of it's personnel both
 men and officers. They are carefully selected men, picked from the thous-
 ands who volunteered when the call for tank men was made Two base requisites were insisted upon: first every man must be physically fit and second, temporamentally adaptable The training every man has received
 has meant eithe. that he is delivered to the commanders at the front as a
 wonderfully efficient unit or is mer-
 cilessly thrown out of the service. He
 is turned over to the fighting force as
 an expert mechanic, a man drilled ir
 the operation of both machine guns and heavy ordnance, tactician and strategist, and, finally, as a man with
 no evidence of nerves"
 British trainers at the little coun- try town where the Americans have been coached have been careful to ex plain to the men, as they weeded out the unfit and those not temper.
