TANKS TO TOUR STATE.
Veterans to Exhibit Their Great
Crawling Fortresses.

Columbia, April 19.-South Caro-
lima is peculiarly fortunate to get
three tanks to be taken en- tour over
the State that the people may see
the workings of the "whippets" that
broke the morale of the German ar
my. There has been so much of ro-
nance and of mystery about these
great crawling fortresses that the
people have a great curiosity to see
them
These tanks will cover the entire
Stale, beginning at Columbia, Char
lesion and Greenville. The sergeants
in charge are Blamkenship, of Rich
mond, Va, at Greenville; Wells, Of
Michigan, at Charleston, and Young,
of New York State, and Lands, of
Cleveland, Ohio, in Columbia. Lam
dis is a smooth-face0 young chap
who has very pleasant smile, but
he was 20 months in foreign activi-
ties, and saw a whole lot of ups and
downs in the tanks. His tank served
at different times with six combat
divisions and he was in the Ar
|gonne woods for two weeks.
Regular Manual.
There is regular manual of
movements for the tanks just as for
infantry bodies. Sixteen form CON-
pany and 4S a battalion. There are
times when they go into battle in
squad formation, so meters apart,
and so meters ahead of the infan-
try. The drivers of the tanks state
that it was rare that tank was
caught in the barrage of it's own side,
but they had seen infantry rush too
far ahead of the objective and get
caught in the tank fore. That was
one of the saddest things OF the war.
They had seen trenches filled with
German dead caught in the fire with
which tanks had raS61 the trencneS
when caught and unable to go further.
Lands had seen a tank that mad fall
len into a cunningly devised l1ap.
The Germans had dug out great
cavern and covered it over with
limbs and twigs and leaves. The
tank was filled with water and the
tank went to a watery grave.
These young men who have seen
so many wonderful things on battle
fields in France will accompany the
tanks and demonstrate them Each
CT these tanks is mounted with a
French 1-pounder gun.

Papers of organization were filed in
Washington yesterday with the Federal
Trade Commission by the Textile AL
lance Export Corporation of New York,
a combination that includes the four
great American textile associations.
which arc planning to extend the for
cign market for American textiles un-
der the Webb act, in line with similar
preparations by steel and copper in
dustrics.
The new combination includes the
American Association of Woolen and
Worsted Manufacturers National Asso-

Council of Cotton Goods Manufacture

signed his position as president of the

C0Ium biu to Measure Brain
Capacity Of Ne1U Students
Freddie, the Phenom, Who Can Give Perfect Rendition
of "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight and the Time
Tables Will Have Exceptional Standing

Freddie the Phcnom, who can rccite
"Curfcw Shall Not Ring Tonight"
whose rendition of the times tables is
perfect, and whose store of book knowl-
edge is the marvel of his home town.,
hereafter will have no exceptional
standing at Columbia University.
The boy who plays the part of wall
flower at all the home dances, whose
brow becomes damp with cold perspira-
tlon when called upon to appear before
admiring relatives, and who has no par
ticular fondness for ancient literature,
may so far outdistance the village mar
vel that there will be no excitement in
the race.
All this, it is promised, will result
from the new series of mental tests
that are to be submitted at tho uni
versity for the time honored entrance
examination of previous days. The
measure Of the Students brain capacity
rather than the present contents of
his Uranium, will decide his fitness for
scat at Columbia. AS consequence
a Frequency distribution curve" will
be placed in the university records as
evidence of this fitness where neat cx-
animation papers once reposed.
Innovation in America
This innovation, which is being at
tempted at Columbia for the first time
in America, was decided upon yester-
day by the institutions trustees as
a result of the highly successful ap-
plication Of The same principles to
the applicants for positions in the
Students Army Training Corps. The
New-York tribune., 1919-01-21

percentage of reflections when this test
was used was exceptionally small,
members of .he university faculty said
last night.
The "frequcncy distribution curve"
actually Is line upon a chart, drawn
to show the result Of the numerous
tests made when an applicant submits
to examination at the university. If
the results are perfect the line will
be presentable picture of Napoleon's
historic hat. If the result is far from
perfect the hopes of the applicant may
be knocked into a cooked hat of far
different design.
Just what the tests are nobody at the
university would say last night They
are being worked out. however, and
probably will be made public within a
few days. 1t was said, however. that
a possible 456 points could be made by
a successful applicant who posed for
his mental portrait done by the school
experts. But nobody could be found
who had made that number Of points.
BOrrOws Idea From U. S.
"With the new projects" said Dean
Hawkes., 1--WE shall dispense with the
time-honored entrance examinations
and borrow the principle of mental
alertness tests used in the War De-
partment.
"ln admitting members to the
S. A. T. C. we used about the same
psychological tests as the aviation
corps emplayed to determine the fitness
of human material for training We
ere now arranging with Professor Z. l..
1horndikc of the Teachers College of
Columbia University, one of the fore
most psychologists of the day, for a
set Of tests to be applied to entering

One murc legal attack was launched

OBJECT OF causing the revocation of all
the charters held by the corporations
that make up the system.
The legal move took the form of a
plea TO Charles D. Newton, Attorney
General of the state, who was called
upon as the lawyer of the people. It
was voiced by Leslie j. Tompkins. a
professor of law in the New York
University, and Edwin M. Otterbourr
OF the law firm of Otterbourg, Steind-
ler and Houston. The two LAWYERS
say that they are acting solelv for
themselves as citizens of the city, that
they have no organization back of
them and no hope of gain if their
plea is granted.

Hero of Zeebrugge Has
High Praise for Hobson
Capt. Carpenter Says U. S. at
Santiago Made Great Rec
ord for Bravery

Hobson's attempt to bottle up tho
Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago
was compared favorably with the feat
of the British navy at Zeebrugge yes
terday by Captain Alfred +. B. Car
penter, commander of the Vindictive
on that notable ocsasion.
Captain Carpenter said that the chief
difference between the feat at Zee
brugge and that at Santiago harbor
was that the American sailors, too
ready to face the direct fire of the
eAemys heavy guns, sailed straight
into the mouth Of the harbor, with the
result that the ship was sunk before it
was manGuvred into position.
Captain Carpenter, who will lecture
for the benefit of the Dover Patrol
Fund at the Century Theatre to-mor-
row evening, will bid farewell to
New York then. The benefit, in addi-
tion to raising cash for the families of
sailors who lost their lives in the raid
on Zecbrugge, was arranged also as a
tribute to the man who carried it into
execution.
81 think probably the Hobson ex-
plot was the most daring single act
of the kind in the history of the
world" said. CaptaN Carpenter. "But
that very daring contributed to its par
tial failure. 1t brought about the de-
sired result, however, because when a
feet faces the prospect of being bot
tied up in harbor it usually will come
out to avoid that. This was just what
the Americans wanted Cervera to do
and what he did, with the result that
all of his ships were sunk"
