BRITAIN HAS new TANK
T0cARRYl FIFTY TROOPS
Numerous Improvemen:s Made
IA New Tank Tried outt
In Deep Secrecy
BY William R. Kuhns

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Oct. 14-Despitc the veil
Of secrecy that is invariably thrown
around the development of new en-
gines of destruction, the United Press
learns from reliable sources of a
monster tank, capable of carrying
SO troops, which has just been con-
structed for the War Office.
One who participated in several Of
the recent trials stated ''it was as
comfortable as riding along a well
paved street in a taxi" These test
have been carried out in an isolated
spot not far from London and every
detail of construction has been jeal-
ously guarded by the military officials.
The new tank is designed along the
same lines as those used against the
Germans, but there have been numer-
Gus improvements. For instance, it
is capable of speed of 20 miles an
hour, whereas the noisy, clumsy tanks
of the last war could scarcely do 8
miles an hour at top speed.
In addition greater attention has
been given to interior comfort. The
significance of this feature will be
obvious to any one who has had the
unforgettable experience of jolting
over bitches, rocks and she'll holes
in one of the earlier monstrosities.
The average battle was relief by
time one reached the scene of action.
There is an elaborate arrangement
of springs and the interior has been
upholstered.
The super tank is we'll provided
against attack. Experiments are be-
ing carried out with machine gun
for firing one inch shells These it
is claimed. will penetrate and put
out of action an enemy tank.
The war office has considered the
possibility of arming each of the
crew with these guns. This would
mean that fleet of these monsters
could move forward through obstac-
les heretofore insurmountable, loaded
with a contingent of troops.

Governor Asks Republican

To Withdraw Support
WILL MAKE CAMPAIGN
IN OPPOSING KELLER
Renounces Congressman on
His Recent Attack ON
Attorney General =
(By United PresS)

St. Paul Oct. 14-Governor
Preus today asked the Republican
State Central committee to withdraw
its support from Oscar Keller, con-
gresham from St. Paul, and to op-
pose his reelection. ~
The governor, in letter to Charles
R. Adams, his private secretary, and
chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, renowned Keller for his re-
cent attack on Attorney General
Daugherty. Governor Preus instr,1c-
ted the State Republican organiza-
ton to withdraw its support from
Keller and from the organizations
supporting Keller, to leave his pic
ture out of republican letters to be
printed and to take no active, part
in supporting the campaign of Kel-
Ter. The action was interpreted by
some rs move to aid the campaign
of Paul Doty, democrat. The gov
ernor indicated he will make an ac-
tive campaign in opposing Mr.. Keller.
In letter to Charles r. Adams the
governor said: '.'.
"A few days ago discovered Mr..
Keller's name on poster circulated
by the Republican State Central
Committee. l am opposed to Mr..
keller's return to congress just ex-
actly as l am opposed to the elect
ion of former Governor Frazier to
U. S. Senate. l am openly and
avowedly opposing 4!0'Connor in
North Dakota and l have done the
same and will continue to do so
as far as Oscar Keller is concerned
ed in St. Paul. -.
1.-TWO years ago Mr.. Keller had
the support and endorsement of the
Non-Partisan League and Farmer
Labor party. He undoubtedly has
the same now. ,-.
Furthermore, his disgraceful ac-
ton in instigating impeachment pro-
ceedings against Attorney General
Daugherty at the instigation of the
lawless output which wants to pre-
vent the Attorney General of the
United States from doing his duty as
public official, is such that I can
not support him (Keller.)
81 shall take this occasion, during
the campaign, to speak this publicly
and for these reasons there will be
no poster exhibited hereafter by the
Republican State, County or City or
CARNATIONS with Keller's picture and
I am going to ask you not to give
youa support to any organization
which has given it's support to Keller"
About $4,000 of the posters re-
ferred to have been broadcasted
throughout the state. IT. is not
known whether they will be recalled
or whether steps will be taken to re-
move the pictures Of Mr.. Keller

MISKE CLAIMS TITLE
+ OVER TOMMY GIBBONS
Miske's Claim That He Was
.,Fouled in Tenth Round
Held by Referee
(By United Press)

(By Jackson ". Scholz) 49,
New York, Oct. 14-Billy Miske
today claims the official distinction of
being a better man than Tommy Glib
bons-but it doesn't mean anything.
The bout scheduled for Is rounds
ended in the tenth when Miske
crumpled to the mat and claimed a
foul which after moments hesita'
tion, was sustained by the referee.
Billy Mcfarland. The blow that
ended things was seen by few, a cir
cumstance which naturally gave rise
to a lot of audible remarks from the
crowd in Madison Square. Gibbons
seemed as much surprised as anyone
at the sudden end and wandered
around in a daze until officially dis
qualified. = 49, 49, ,,~f
Although Gibbons conceded II
pounds to Miske together with a
marked advantage in reach, he made
the latter. look like a husky lumber
jack engaged in the pastime OF pick
ing mosquitoes out of the air..
Gibbons uncorked shifty, vicious
attack in the first few rounds and
found a landing place for almost ev-
ery blow, while Miske, trying des-
perately to locate his opponent, vast
ed tons of energy in wild swings
that would have floored an OK.
Miske tried several times to make
use of his advantage in reach and
hold himself out of harms way by
placing glove play on the top OF
Gibbons skull but the latter's fail
ure to cooperate usually resulted in
left jolts to the head that drove all
such thoughts. of strategy out OF
Miske's mind. -
Only his. ability to take punish
ment saved Miske 1'om becoming
victim of the Gibbons offensive in
the early rounds. :,
Miske's sole thought seemed to be
desire to land one of his hay-mak-
ers and have it over with. This was
the factor which made the bout all
the more interesting, because there
was always chance that, although
out-fought and out-boxed, Miske
