As a matter OF fact. had not the

General Estienne declares that as
early as the spring OF 1918. when the
campaign plans for that year in
volved the possibility or necessity Of
crossing the Rhine. the French had
already undertaken and solved the
problem OF subfluviai tanks.
The idea is already general years

the moment Of our advance In 1918.
II was by means Of amphibious tanks
that we counted \ on forcing the
passage Of the Rhine and capturing
the bridgeheads on the other side.

10 comprehend the Importance Of
such a method OF attack.
The methods we have studied and
perfected will permit of the use OF

weigh about twice as much as an
equal volume Of water. Fitted with
caterpillar crawiers like the land
tanks they viii lend themselves 10
surmounting all Of the obstacles that
may be encountered In river beds.
The material as well ms the moral
effect OF these subfluvial monsters
on the enemy would be terrible.
MORE PRACTICAL

They are also far more practical
than the pontoons which have been
used to date. The latter are merely
haphazard ways OF getting across a
river. are easily spotted by the
enemy and easily shelied. With the
subfluvial tank, however, emerging
from the water at a point unable
to be determined In advance. the
enemy will have no way OF replying
Two. 10 and even 20 such assaultine
cars Issuing suddenly from n rivers

any bridRehead or any river defense
The tank. both amphlbious and
for land use, constitutes the great
