Washington, Feb. "A graphic ac
coul,t Of the exploit Of a platoon OF
American soldiers with five tanks
during tine war in prowlns at night
along The front to such effect that
two German divisions were withdrawn
from the Argonnc seGor on the eve
OF the American attack there is told
in an account issued 10y the tank
corps.
The object Of the expedition, TO
draw the enerny's attention from the
real point OF intended assault, was
fully accomplished.
The ST. Mihiol salient had been
cleaned up and the First Army was
preparing to strike the first blow Of
me Meuso-Argonne drive, when the
tank corps commander with General
Porshing's approval, put into cxecu-
tion a nrw device TO bewildcr the on

con September 10. the five ta'Iks
tYd their crews We're loaded and the
expedition started the statement
said.
THAT evening they stood in the
rear OF the little wood, many kilometers
west of 81. Mihicl. About II o'clock
all was ready and the miniature army
started forward on its mission. Every
thing went off as scheduled, The
tanks rolled through our positions
and into no MANS land. They were
operated hack and forth for half an
hour After this they We're quietly
withdrawn, crawled back on their
little narrow gauges and started mer-
rly on their way. They timed their
work perfectly. and as they pulled out
a terrific barrage hit the wood they
1ad left.
Tor six successive nights, the troops
Staged their one night stands and the
reports all along the sector showed
that the Hun was up in the air. All
day lous the sky was full of planes
searching Tor the army of tanks
which the enemy was sure was con-
centratlnE on this front. All suspi-
cuus looking places were bombarded
with the usual Hun thoroughncss and
intensity.
At msht tie darkness was dssi-
pated BY hundreds Of flares ana rock

Best of all, just as the little band
was preparllt5 to entrain to get into

PLANS FOR SETTL EMENT
INDUSTRIAL D|SP TES
WILL Be FO R N Ill A TED
BY | EAD De Rs 0f LABOR

Washing ton, Feb. determination
Of final plan for settlement Of in.
dustrial disputes based on the great
ed by tie tentative plan Of regional
adjustment board, announced six
weeks ago, will be taken up by the
secoEd industrial conference this
week. Chairman Stanley d. King
said today that practically all ex-
ecutive hearing session had been com.
pleted and that work on drafting fl
nal recommendations to the presi-
dent would be started at once.
How far the conference may modify
its tentative plan calling for a ma.
tional industrial tribunal with regional
boards of adjustment and inquiry, Mr..
King said was entirely speculative in
view of the fact that the conference,
since reconvening has concerned It,
self only with drawing out the opln-
ions of experienced leaders and that
1t now remaiued for its II members
10 agree upon conclusions. One def
mite conclusion already reached, hoI
ever, Mr.. King said, was that any
system of regional adjustment while
providing for disputes that have once
arisen. must be supplemented by some
preventive" plan OF shop organl ~.
ton to catch and cure the dispute
ut an earlier stage. This necessity,
he said, had been very generally
stressed and so deeply impressed the
conference members that a strong
recommendation for the adoption Of
some form Of shop organization in all
industrial plants Independent of union
agitations OF employees. undoubtedly
would be included in tnc final draft
plan.
The most complete disapproval Of
the tentative plan announced by the
conference, Mr.. King said. had come
from Samuel Gompers, as the repre-
sentative of organized labor in Ameri-
ca and from the president Of one
of the biggest employers associations
in the country" whose name he with.
held. AS viewed by members of the
conference, the attitude signifed by
The opinions Of those two men was,
he said, ''in amy conflict of interests
now existing between capital and In
Dor and is II private fight with which
the government properly has nothing
to do" This was found to be by no
means the general attitude, however,
on either side, he said.
The railroad labor problem was dis
cussed by William II. Sheppard presi-
dent of the brotherhood OF railway
conductors, who is to be followed
early i'll the week by the presidents
of the other three railroad brother.
hoods. AS spokesman for railroad
management, the conference also has
heard Daniel C. willard, president
Of the Baltimore and Ohio rlilroad.
In addition TO the oral opinions sub.
mitted. the conference, Mr. King said,
had sought the written views of more
, than a hundred students of industrial
and economic problems, including
many college professors with broad
question! OF establishing more har-
noniOus industrial relations.
