UNCLE RAYS CORNER -Tunks Helped Allies in World War

Yesterday we spoke of the tanks
which first took part in warfare in
1916. They were successful on the
battlefield, but their success was
not complete.
The early tanks were fitted with
treads of the tractor type. These
gave them the power to pass over
rough ground, far from any road
Yet some of them became stuck
In shell holes.
The first tank attack brought
about the capture of prisoners and
trenches, but there were not enough
tanks at that time to change the
course of the war.
A thousand more tanks were
ordered, and in few months they
were ready for action. The new
tanks were fitted with thicker ar
NOR than the first ones to be put
in the field
Meanwhile French inventors had
been working on much the same
idea. They planned lighter type
of tank, and factories began to
turn them out.
During 1917 tanks were employed
In several battles. Each time they
won some success, but they did
little to bring about an important
victory until the Battle Of Cam
brai in November.
At Cambria, the tanks were

Don't Take Nv
Word for Ii
By FRANK COLBY.
World War Words and How
To Pronounce Them

Stuka: German dive bomber.
The German Embassy. Washington,
gives me this definition and pro-
nunciation: ''Stuka is an abbrevi-
alton of the German word 'Sturz-
kampffugzeug' meaning a fight
ing plane which dives from
higher altitude at great speed. The
pronunciation is: SHTOO-kah."
The name is coined from the first
three letters of 'sturz' (dive,
plunge, and the first two letters
of "kampf" Eight, combat.
PANZER: This German word
means 'ironclad; armored.' The
panzer divisions consist of heavily
armored trucks, tanks and other
assault machines of the German
blitzkrieg. Correct pronunciation:
PAHNT-Ser.
ERSATZ: A German word mean
ing substitute. Much German war
paraphernalia and many foodstuffs
are "ersatz" materials-that is sub
stltuteS, equivalents, synthetics.
Correct pronunciation: air-ZAHTS.
Capitals indicate syllable to be
accentedD

Property Owners, Beware!
BY GERALD l.. KAUFMAN.

Here are eight houses built around
4 lake, on tract bounded by
straight roads on all sides. The
owners agreed that each was to
have a plot of land bounded by
fences running directly north and
south and east and west; and that
each would have road frontage.
But they forgot about lake 'front.'
age.
The four owners of the big houses
got lawyer and surveyor who di-
vided the tract as agreed, but gave
the four biggest plots to their four
clients, and cut off the small houses
from the lake. Can you indicate
how they did it?

Three similar solutions are also
correct, since the cross may be

CBy Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Eu-
rope chose two different inter-
pretations of President Roose-
velt's Pan-American Union speech
made yesterday, and both inter
pretationS varied according to
preference of the nations in
volved in the war now raging
in translation of the chief execu-
tive's desire to "stay out of the
war;.
Britain and France applauded
the speech as a definite gesture
against the Nazi cause.
Germany, on the other hand,
commented on the speech with
this statement, "You stay away
from our house, and We'll stay
away from yours. Observers
here were inclined to think the
Nazis were pleased at most pas
Sages in the speech because it in
dicated the United States would
not be led to enter the war on
the side of the Allies.

BY MORGAN M. BEATTY.

WASHINGTON, April 49,
The battle for Scandinavia sets
the stage for the worlds first
clear-cut test of sea power
against air power.
For whatever reasons lay be-
hind the battle, and whatever the
day-to-day confusion may be,
these two main facts stick out:
1.-The Germans lured British
sea power within close range
of their big bombing planes, and
are trying to get into a position
to control the eastern rim of the
North Sea. Victory might well be
followed by invasion of Holland
and Belgium-to control the
southern rim of the North Sea.
The next step would be air blitz-
krieg against the British Isles,
and an attempt to sweep the
English Channel clear of blockad-
ing British forces. That would
separate the Franco-British AL
lies, and clear the way for the
food and raw materials the Ger
mans so desperately need.

1t was the present Governor of
Texas, w. Lee O'Daniel, who
may be credited, no doubt, with
the introduction of side show"
attractions for candidates in
their campaigns for office when
he featured hill-billy songs on
the radio, sung by himself, be-
fore and after political speeches.
An apparent disciple of the
ODaniel way of campaigning ap-
peared in Key West last Satur-
day night, following procedure
featured in other cities of the
state He was Walter Fraser, st.
Augustine mayor and candidate
for governor. His act included
some high-claSS cowboy routine
enacted by members of the Gene
Autry movie and radio songsters.
The crowd liked it, too.
Now comes notice, in a spe-
cial dispatch, to The Citizen to-
day, of a new wrinkle in cam
paigning.
