with much satisfaction by the majority
of the inhabitants not SO much for the
punishment involved, as for the spirit
of fair play that has marked the Admin

made, in the face Of the many un@lled-
for nuisances perpetrated BY many Of
the men in uniform against a law abid-
ing and peaceful people, such action is
highly cammendable aud acts as a de-
terrent upon those gentlemen who think
they can with impunity carry OUT their
threats
Above all else, however, it has in
spired confidence in the Administration,
and a feeling Of security in the hearts
and minds of the people.
An interesting fact is, that after the
facts of the case mad been gathered, Mr.,
Lorand was sent for BY His EXcellency,
who regretted the occurrence OF the Incl

BRITISH TANKS IMPROVED
Better Engines Used, and Shell
Sealed Against Poison Gas.

LONDON, Feb 25.-Considerable i'm.
provement continues in tank cons,ruc-
lion for the British army. As the air
service has improved and the air-enginos
have been developed. the cast-of en-
gines Of the planes have been fitted into
tanks. The air ministry has released a
tremendous number Of $50 horsepower
Rolls-Royce engines which are fitted to
new type tanks. They can be driven
across roads at a rate Of about 80 miles
an hour and across rough country al
from II to 20 miles an hour
The tanks are excellently sprung, and
wear and tear is reduced to a minimum.
Furthermore. the tanks are not nearly so
noisy. They can be sealed so that no
poison gas can penetrate. The air is
kept breathable by devices similar 70
those used in submarine construction.
Now that the tanks are capable Of
swimming rivers il is seriously suggested
that the next step is the perfection Of
tank that could swim the English chan.
mel and then do It's work.
