Capable of making even faster time,
in the opinion Of Army experts, the
tank took several steep embankments
at break-neck speed. The dispatch
with which the caterpillar bands can
be put on and taken off makes 1t a
formidable weapon Of offense in war
fare, as the tank performs on the road
like any other automobile.
Mr.. Christie, who produced the first
-wheel-drive automobile, and who
once was one of the outstanding speed
kings OF the world, said he was inspired
to build the combat machine to meet
the needs developed in the World War.
Gen. Pershing, after the armistice, in
spected the machine, then under con-
struction, and expressed the opinion
that 100 such speed tanks in the Ar
gonne would have saved the lives of
many men.
Technical details and specifications of
the armored tank were kept closely
guarded from the public at yesterdays
demonstration.
THE importance Of q heavily armed
machine, with an inch and one-half of
armor, capable Of moving so miles an
hour across country, can easily be seen"

of military strategy, and believe have

Mr.. Christie said the Army, which
assisted in earlier experiments, has al
ready pronounced the machine a sue
cess, and negotiations are now under
way for its purchase by the Govern

|BULGAR-JUGOSLAV
| RELATIONS UNEASY
Agrarian Quarrel Has Es-
tranged Neighbors-ItaIy
Seen in Background.
Special Cable to The star.


VIENNA, June 29.-Diplomatic rela-
tions between Bulgaria and Jugoslavia
have reached a critical stage, according
to the Novosti of Belgrade. organ of
the Agrarian party, in connection with
the recent frontier incidents, the situa-
ton having become such, 1t says, that
even optimistic diplomats see no posi-
bility of the normalization of neighborly
relations.
The campaign against Jugoslavia
conducted by the Bulgarian govern
ment, it adds, looks as If it were in
tended to provoke a conflict OF conse-
quence, but the belief is expressed that
the campaign Is not being engineered
on the initiative of the Bulgarian gov
ernment itself, but that the latter is
acting under the influence Of big
power hostile to Jugoslavia which
wishes to demonstrate that the treaty
of Neuilly has broken down. In this
NovoSti alludes, of course, to Italy,
which not long ago sent a naval and
air squadron with much flourish and
fanfare to Bulgaria.
If one is to believe the reports from
Belgrade the Bulgarian government Is
preparing diplomatic step to be taken
by its envoy in Belgrade. but this
sounds unlikely. Information from the
numerous meetings Of protest have been
held in Bulgaria against Jugoslav "en--
croachments" along the frontier and
that at these meetings many irredentist
speeches have been delivered, includ-
ing one by Lieut.. COL lief, calling
Jugoslavia sharply to account for al
legged prosecutions of innocent Bull
garian peasants in the lost Bulgarian
provinces. At the same gathering, one
Nurigian, former press attache Of the
Italian legation at Sofia, declared that
Italy will always assist Bulgaria in the
latter's effort to obtain satisfaction.
At another meeting an italian
journalist, Bentiveni, said that Italy
will do everything possible to obtain q
revision of the treaty Of Neuilly.
The Belgrade Pravda reports that
group of Bulgarian comitadjis tried
to invade Jugoslavia over Greek ter
ritory at the Southernmost corner OF
Jugoslavia territory. but were beaten
back by gendarmes, who killed one
Bulgar. The trouble started when Bull
garia refused to ratify the Pirot peace
pact because the Jugoslavs demanded
the establishment of neutral belt six
miles In width and extending all along
the border, thus to obviate frontier
incidents in future.
