<'WHIPPET' TANK MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT
Over Two Hundred Men in Uniform
e.. Participate in the Big
$@S Parade.
One Of the Largest crowds that ever
gathered in Warren, came to the Vic
tory Liberty Loan celebration held here
last Friday afternoon. It is estimated
that approximately FIVE or six thousand
people thronged the streets Of the city
and probably five hundred or a thou
sand automobiles Of all makes, ages
and descriptions were parked on the
city's streets. People from one end of
the county to the other were here to
give a cheering welcome to the return
ed soldiers and to witness the activities
Of the fighting bullet-scarred "whippet"
tank.
Tank Has Accident
The parade was delayed for about an
hour on account of an accident to the
tank. While giving a demonstration in
the coulee north Of Hotel Warren one
of the caterpiller chains, by which the
machine is propelled, came off and it be-
came necessary to get the assistance of
a large Rumely Oil Pull engine to raise
the seven-ton tank up on one side so
that the chain could be replaced. After
the parade another demonstration was
given in the cOulee Many were aston
ished at the marvellous power Of the
machine as it climbed up and down the
steep coulee banks. Backward and for
ward, over and across the rough spots
and the soft coulee bottom it went.
More than one farmer made the remark,
81 wish I had that machine on my
farm
