German Tanks UnwieIdy.
Further details now are available
from various sources regarding the new
German tanks, several Of which made
their showing off Villers- -Bretonneux
on April 26. The machine weighs forty
five tons and is so unwieldy it Is un-
able to negotiate those broad trenches
and can not move over ground torn
heavily by shells. The tank is pointed
at both ends. It is approximately
twenty three feet long, nine and half
feet wide and eleven feet in height. The
armor Is Of a poor quality of steel and
varies in thickness up to thirty kilo-
meters. A direct artillery hit will put
one out of action and they are also vul
nerable to machine guns and rifle fire
at various points. The armament con-
sists of 90 inch gun forward, which
fires high explosives and case shots;
six heavy machine guns, two on either
side and two in the rear. It is
equipped with two 11O-horse power
four-cylinder poppet valve engines,
with an electric starter. and one man
can control and drive it easily. It's top
speed on good ground is ten miles an
hour. A crew of nineteen is carried,
consisting of one officer, three gunners
for the forward gun. two drivers, two
mechanics, ten machine gunners and
one signal man.
Crews, Poorly Trained.
The drivers and mechanics are VOL
unteers from motor transport units and
the gunners are drawn from the artil-
lery and infantry. These volunteers are
promised double pay and rations.
There is slight cohesion among the
crews. which have had little training.
The tanks appear to have been hurried
out of the works and used as soon as
possible.

mand for criminal investigation was
made in the senate recently.
Tho aircraft situation has brought
repeated charges of inefficiency on the
part of those IN charge OF it and de-
mands for an inquiry prompted Presi-
dent Wilson to name an investigation
committee headed by Snowden Mar
shall. About the same time the presi-
dent authorized Mr.. Borgum to make
an investigation. His report was never
made public formally, but enough Of it
was made known to show that Mr..
Borglum had made charges against
those in charge and asserted there was
graft In tho production Of the planes.

The senate became so stirred over
the report that it demanded a criminal
investigation. senators demanded that
the senate military committee continue
its investigation with view to learn
ing If criminal prosecutions should be
brought. majority report by the
committee some weeks ago charged
that government officials had kept the
