The election was drawing close; 1t

The interview with the reichska nzler

in the kaiser's plans. When, a few
months later, we declared war against
Germany, however, all the kaiser's
planning and plotting of years col
lapsed. The edifice he had been SO
confidently erecting came crashing to
the ground because it was built upon
a false foundation. How elementary
was his expectation that his efforts to

him anything in the face of his bar

First American Battalion 10 Taunht BY
Veterans Of British Tank
Service.

With the American Army in Eng
land.-AnOther consignment of Ameri-
can man power, that might be labeled
made In England" is ready for ship
ment to the western 'front.'. It IS The
personnel of the first American tank
battalion. .5r
Trained by veterans of the British
tank service and equipped with the
most modern of the land war ships, the
new force will give an excellent
account Of itself. The British coaches
Of the American crews have expressed
their approval Of the manner in which
their pupils have adapted themselves
to the operation Of the machines and,
unless they are mistaken, the men
whose training in England Is just be-
ing completed will be given enviable
roles. Their machines have the hest
points Of both the British and French
tanks and the training of the men has
been in the light of experience already
gained by the fighters Of France and
England.
To every man in the American outfit
there have been impaired the stories
Of mistakes made in the early history
Of tank warfare. Enlisted men and Of
ficers have been told what to do and
what not to do; all their admonitions
have been based not on theory but on
actual experiences, gained in the face
of German fire, loosed always upon
the slightest intimation that the tanks
are numbering to the front.
1t is expected that because Of the
excellence of the weapon with which
It will fight and the training 1t has
undergone the American contingent
will prove itself exceptionally efficient.
Further cause for believing the
American Tank Corps will live np to
the estimate of the British instructors
i is the character Of its personnel. both
men and officers. They are carefully
selected men, picked from the thou
sands who volunteered when the call
for tank men was made. Two base
requisites were insisted upon: First,
every man must he physically At. and.
second, temperamentally adaptable.
The training every man has received
has meant either that he is delivered
to the commanders at the front as u
wonderfully efficient unit or Is merci-
laSsly thrown ont of the service. He
IL turned over to the fighting force as
an expert mechanic, man drilled IN
the operation Of both machine guns
and heavier ordnance. tactician and
st7ntegist, and. finally, as man with
no evidence Of nerves..
