FIRST AMERICAN TANK BATTALION
READY FOR SHIPMENT TO FRONT

With the American Army In Eng
land, Aug. 5.--iAnother consignment
of American man power that might
be labelled Made in England" is
ready for shipment to the western
front, II 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.
the new force is expected to give an
excellent account of itself. The
British coaches OF the American
crews have expressed their approval
of the manner In which their pu-
pills have adapted themselves to the
operation OF the machines and, un-
less they are mistaken, the men
whose training In England is just
being completed will be given envi-
able roles. Their machines have
the best points OF both the British
and French tanks and the training Of
the men has been in the light of ex-
periences 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 officers have been told
what to do and what not to do; all
their admonitions have been based
not on theory but on actual exper-
fences, gained In the Face of German
fire, loosed always upon the slight
est intimation that the tanks are
numbering to the front.
But as reminder. perhaps, that

erican tank corps--two salamanders,

It is expected that because Of the
excellence of the weapon with which

undergone the American contingent
will prove itself exceptionally eff
Client; for. even as the American en-
gineers have been careful to COM
bine In the American tank the best
features of those now used by the
British and the French, so have the
Instructors Of the personnel been
scruplously careful to inculcate the
most advantageous methods of Of
Tense and defense.
Further cause for believing the
American tank corps will live up to
the estimate of the British instruc-
tors is the character of its person
mel. both men and officers. They
are carefully selected men, picked
from the thousands 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. tenn
permantally adaptable. The train
ing every man has received has
meant either 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, man
drilled In the operation of both ma
chine guns and heavier ordnance. a
tactician and strategist, and, finally,
as a man with no evidence Of

London, Aug. 5.--Not all the
ships which German torpedoes and
marine collisions send to the bottom
OF the sea stay there. In less than
three years more than 400 sunkcn
merchant vessels have been restored
to service. And more than one ship
has been raised, repaired. sent forth

raised anew for a third lease on life.
This rescue work Is done by the
salvage section OF the British navy.
Before the war no one thought OF
attempting to save such wrecks as

but ships now are priceless. The
financial value OF the salvage work
Is enormous. The cargoes salved
are themselves worth many millions
OF dollars.
Recently big American tanker

standard ship carrying oil. There
was an explosion OF benzine. and
both vessels were quickly swept by

The tanker, fine vessel some 500
feet long and new-built, had on
board 10000 tons OF oil, and.

OF the cargo was salved When
