TANKS PLAYING IMPORTANT PART
 IN WAR AREAS

Behind the British Lines In France Tanks, cavalry and armored motor cars have had larager part in the recent fighting on the Western front than ever before in the war. They have added greatly to the driving weight and speed of assault of the modern intensive attack, and their use has been developed tremend- ously by the British command since last year.
 The modern tank has twice the speed of the earlier type, and more than twice the radius of action. In fantry is practically powerless against them. If infantry attempts to rush an oncoming tank, they are machine-gunned in the open. If they stay in their trenches, the tank strad- dles the line and enfilades them with direct short-range fire; if they re- treat to the shellholes or dugouts the tank lumbers along right over them, crushing them into the ground and caving in the dugouts.
 The light high-speed tanks known as "whippets' are a development oi this year They are killing machines pure and simple, for they can beal down upon fortified points and bat teres at such speed that there i: litle chance of getting the guns ol men away in time. Their reserve of fuel enables them to remain il action for a full day without re ; filling.
 Moreover, the advance of tn, whippets is quickly followed by thu socalled supply tanks" which cal , cross any ground, bringing up re serve supplies of gasoline and ammu milton.
 The armored motor-cars are nee . essarily limited in the radius O action, owing to the fact that the most stick to the roads, but thei great speed makes them very usefu in pursuit, and they have facult of getting well back behind tn enemy front and doing endless dam age by taking command of vita road junction and preventing tn Possibilities of infinite adventure ar open to the commanders of such de tached units.

CHAPLA|NS TRAVEL
 BY AERIAL ROUTE

l PARIS.-Airplanes and tanks are being used as volunteer chaplains and field secretaries win the Knights of Columbus, to serve the American soldiers over here i Two chaplains, the Rev. John Moran, of Eugene, Ore, and the Rev. John Sullivan, of Tuckahoe, N. Y., were the first priests to make their rounds by the air route. The Rev. Sullivan uses airplanes several times a week and thus is able to visit field hospitals within radius of 200 miles of his camp.
 Airplane transportation was used {, by the Rev. Moran for the first time when he received two calls to say field masses on Sunday morning. The call came from villages fifty miles apart where troops were billet ed. An aviation pilot solved the problem for Chaplain Moran by offer ing to take him to both places and he went. The result was a field mass at one village at o'clock in the morning and at another mass in the village fifty miles farther at 7:30 a. m.
 ! The Rev. Edwin O'Hara, rector of the Cathedral at Portland, vol unteer chaplain for the Knights of ] Columbus used a tank to fulfill an engagement to say mass to dis tant troops and secretary went with him to supply the soldiers with
 boxing gloves and baseball material
 for use after the services.

ping John the Baptist.

THE man Herod's wife hated and
would have killed was John the Bap-
fist. And what do YOU suppose it was
that had SO aroused her hatred? 1t
was just this: John had fallen into
the habit Of aiming his preaching at
the big sinners on the front seats, and
the man who does that is certain to
stir up the cats and dogs If no one
ever got mad enough to bite at what
I say In my sermons, [ would be
scared dizzy, for I would feel about

about my call to preach.
THAT is what is the matter with
some otherwise fine preaching. The
sermon contains nothing that will lay
hold Of a sinner as a harpoon digs
into a whale and holds him until he
is landed but in the preaching of the
ough-and-ready John the Baptist
there was never any drawback of that
kind. John had always plenty of har-
poems on board, and was especially
we'll prepared when Herod and Her
odias. one day, drove up in a great
splurge to hear him, probably to see
how the riff raft in the crowd would
be kept on the edge.

would soon have John on the cooling
board.

Seems as if sailors should get
enough exercise just scrubbing decks
and loading guns, doesn't It? Most
of them do. But physical drill aboard
q warship is not given only to make
muscles. Remember there are hun
GredS of partments aboard
battleship, separate rooms and pas
ages; hundreds Of thousands of
square feet of cleaning surface, which
must be regularly scrubbed and
painted. Men who do this get too
little sunshine and too much bad air.
The same applies to engineers, fire
mon, electricians, office clerks mess
helpers; and all repairers, such as
carpenters, boilermakers, copper
smiths, printers, laundrymen, plumb
ers, and many more. You didn't
know there were SO many kinds, did
you? You would if you came aboard
and saw their pale faces beside the
SWarthy seamen.
Men on deck, who ordinarily have
plenty of air, derive military car
riage from physical drill. Handling
squilgees and 96-pound powder bags
tends to make them stoop shouldered.

1t may be that Herodias had sug-

"A great supper was prepared, re-

'Al this time Herodias probably

The Embarrassing Time III Life.

I'm getting scar and old
I have passed Lifes day of gold,
And I'm nearing where the evening
breeze is signing!
Age-dear fellow!--seems to say:
I'VE have come a long, long way,
And there's little left for US that's
worth the trying!"
We have made our journey by
Rocky pathways-Age and l.
And we've shared whatever Fortune
CHANGED the giving;
Happy we have been and glad,
I.uckless too, and drear and sad,
But we've cheerful been and know
the love Of living.
Now we've reached the end at last,
Youth and Happiness are past
Tasteless now the cheerful words Of
sage and poet:
You are old" the echoes say;
Though we're silent on our way
In tho hearts Of US it's very we'll we
know it!
Not by gray are we betrayed
Nor our features do they fade;
It's apparent more in our success at
wooing;
We can still charm, maids Of Six.
And the girl Of forty sticks,
But the Queen of, Twenty-one-
there's nothing doing!
