BRITAIN NOT TO

LONDON. March 2S.-Tanks as an
implement OF war will not be
abolished by Great Britain. The
value of these moving forts OF steel.
which played such an important
part in breaking the Hindenburg
lines is considered so great that a
committee, superScding the govern
rnent tank board. has been organized
by the war office to supervise all
tank activities.
Experiments will, be carried on in
hope of improving the ''wkippets
and the gun-carrying type.
Officials of the war office realize
that an army of $4,000 men, equipped
with tanks and airplanes, could
easily defeat force Of 100000 meT
without tanks. In fact, one officer
we'll versed in the history of the
present war, made the following
prediction today:
Elm any future war we shall never
have the gigantic armies OF meT
with enormous stores of supplies
which can be so easily bombed and
needing miles of communicating
