sage of the Rhine and capturing the 1 bridgeheads on the other side. Thanks to them we would have been able to burst into the middle of the enemy in the most unexpected fash ion and pulverize everything within range. It is very easy to comprehend the importance of such a method of attack.
 "The methods we have studied and perfected will permit of the use of a very heavy assaulting car. These weigh about twice as much as an equal volume of water. Fitted with caterpillar crawlers like the land tanks they will lend themseves to surmount- ing al of the obstacles that may be encountered in river beds. The ma terial as we'll as the moral effect of the subfluvial monsters on the enemy would be terrible.
 "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, and easily spotted by the enemy and esily shelled. With the sub-fluvial tank, however, emerging from the water at a point unable to be de- termined in advance, the enemy will have no way of replying. Two, ten and even twenty such assaulting cars issuing suddenly from rivers bed would be sufficient to break up any bridgehead or any river defense.
 "The tank, both amphibious and fol land use constitutes the great arm o1 future wars. We are still ignorant of it's full possibilities, but it consti tutes the coup de grace for the cavalry and permits of closeup fighting whicf will render again possible decisive bat ties like those of AusterlitZ.
 But it is especially the amphibiou: tank cooperating with airplanes over head that in the future will open III the passage of rivers and force fight ing in the open such as the recent wal did not see.

but an organized revolution which was suppressed by armed forces of the government and not by the vengeance of an infuriated superior race. But if Senator Harding, sympathizing as he apparently does with such aspirations as are set forth in the Toledo negro paper, becomes president, it is certa|n that clashes between the races will be more readily provoked in the south as well as in the north, and the work of decades by sound minded leaders of both races to harmonize their interests and maintain relations satisfactory to both races will have been destroyed.
 Of course, it is unnecessary to urge the election of Democratic presidential electors, senators and congressman from Arkansas, as their victory is a foregone conclusion. But every Demo- crat in Arkansas can do more than vote the Democratic ticket. He can help by contributions and by personal work in winnn ng other states, where the result is doubtful, for the Demo- cratic ticket. In his letter to the Log Cabin Democrat, in which he encloses the copy of the negro paper, Govern or Brough says:
 This presidential election means everything to the south and urge you as a high-minded and splendid repre- sentative of your great commonwealth to become active in explaining to your people just what Senator Harding's triumph would mean in robbing the south of her most cherished birth right, Anglo-SaXon supremacy. Please urge the Democracy of your state to be thoroughly alive as to the serious ness of the situation and also get inn mediately in touch with the state chairman and urge the raising of funds to be sent to the national treas urer, Hon. Wilbur Marsh, Grand Central Palace, New York City
 q am so thoroughly aroused my self that feel it is my duty to inform you just waht the situation is.'
 The Log Cabin Democrat will be gald to receive and forward to the proper authorities any contributions which Faulkner county Democrats may desire to make to assist in bringing about national Democratic victory in November.

ALLIED TANK DEVISED
 TO MOVE UNDER WAFER
Estienne, Father of Land Tank, Says New War Machine Was Ready
 When War Closed.
tBy United Press)

Paris, Sept. 18.-Thanks to sub marine tanks-or rather to sub-t1u- wal tanks-rivers which in the past have constituted one of the greatest kandieaps to advancing armies will in future wars no longer be an obstacle.
 The army which thinks it can place itself in safety by getting behind a wide river and blowing up the bridges vM have some disappointing and ia tal surprises in store for it.
 These are the declarations of Gen. arzI Estienne, who as father of the Franch tank" during the war is still at the head of that service in tie French army.
 AS matter of fact, had not the ar mistice put an end to operations when II did in the fall of 1913, and had the Erench been obliged to carry the cam paign into German territory, the Rhine would have been crossed by sub-huvial tanks, and the bridge heads wrested from the Germans w;tt this new form of warfare,
 General Estienne declares that as early as the spring of 1918, when the campaign plans for that year in- voIved the possibility or necessity o1 crossing the Rhine, the French hat already undertaken and solved the problem of sub -fiuvial tanks.
 ''The idea is already several year. 0kd," General Estiene declared. "A the moment of our advance in 1918 1t was by means of amphibious tank: that we counted on forcing the pas
