LIGHT TANK MOST
EFFICIENT WEAPON IN
USE BY ALLIES
(By Associated Press.)

With the French Armies, Oct. o.
The armored caterpillar motor car or
tank" which Is now in high favor
as an engine of assault against the
enemies lines, almost fell into dis
credit in France in 1917. The most
successful type has been the new
lighter car with swinging turret
from which an inch and a half cali
ber cannon or machine gun can
fire In any direction.
While the British were manufacture
ing their immense, heavy tanks" the
French, without knowing of the work
their allies were doing, experimental
with lighter cars, one type Weighing
1S tons and another % tons. The 49,
ton cars made their appearance In
April, 1917 taking part in the French
offensive between Rheims and the
Aisne, as an experiment.
The losses appeared to be excessive
and the report spread that they
caught fire every time they were hit
by projectile. The death of Com
mandant Bossut while leading an as
sault with one of the cars created a
profound impression.
Two later operations, however,
modified the military opinion regard
ing them and they proved to be most
effective.
During the winter other expert
ments were made and toward the last
Of May, 1918, the light tanks" made
their appearance on the battlefield in
greater numbers. They were as
signed to the defense Of the forest OF
Villers-C -Cotterets when the Germans
made their rush between scissors
and Rheims. During the first fifteen
days of June they made more than
twenty counterattacks and kept the
forest clear Of the enemy. The med
ium weight cars in the meantime
helped the Americans take Cantigny
Their first spectacular feat was in
mobilizing in twelve hours south Of
Montdidier to precede the infantry in
successful counter attack that stop
ped the advance of the Germans on
the Montdidier-Noyon line.
These and subsequent successes
convinced the French military an
thorities that the light tank" was an
effective and efficient arm.

which is regarded as the leading

word to Holland that the feeling in
America is that the people OF the

tremendous issues of the war.
The paper declares that the con-
sensus of American opinion Is that
the Dutch fail to appreciate the pur'

Hollanders think of nothing but to
keep out of the war and enrich them
selves and that the loudness of their
protests against any inconvenience
they may have suffered as a result
of Entente war measures is not pro
