LIGHT TANKS WIN LAURELs.
French Machines In Wonderful Elk.

Correspondence Associated Press

correspondence ASSOClaCeQ freSS.J
With the American Armies, Sept. 2S.
Greater laurels daily are being won
by the French light tanks" which are
co operating 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
interesting perhaps, is that of Briga-
der Collier who has been decorated
with the cross of the Legion of Honor
for his work in light tank which en-
abled fifteen American soldiers to cap
ture- 700 Germans.
Several hundred of these tanks led
the counter offensive from the villers-
Cotterets forest In July. which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point Of the war.
They broke tlrru the enemy's lines,
destroying his machine gun sections,
overcoming strong centers Of resist
ance and spreading panic and demorii-
ization in the German ranks.
Wherever the infantry was preceded
by the chars d'assaut," as the French
call them, the advance was three miles
a day..
It was 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 than 200 Germans on the plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands Of the French staff show that
the Germans ARE greatly worried bN
the light tanks and are studiously
coaching their men in methods OF de-
tense against them.
The light cars have the advantage OF
greater speed and Of being. more easily
handled than the heavier tanks. They
require a crew of only two men.
