Editor The Times: During the
last few weeks propaganda has
become exceedingly intense in
this country of ours, propa-
ganda. which If not stopped will
pull us into the war on the side
of the allies.
This Is not our war. 1t Is a
war which has been repeated
many times in the past, and will
be repeated many times in the
future.
There are several causes of
war-one is, over-population;
another is. the desire of a group
of wealthy individuals to become
more wealthy. We do not have
to worry about the first, but
watch out for the latter.

The machines known as tanks
have played a big part in the war
in Europe. They have rolled over
"pillboxes" and have brought death
to thousands Of soldiers.
The story of the modern tank
goes back to the World War. A
British Army man, Col. E. D. Swim
ton, seems to have been the first
to figure out plan.
Machine guns are taking a ter
rible toll of our troops when they
advance" said Col. Swinton to an
official of the British government.
"Why not bring out some kind OF
a motor car with armor and with
treads like those of Holt tractor?"
The official listened to the plan,
and ordered tests to be made. The
tests met with little success, and
the idea was dropped for time.
Then Swinton went to the war
office in London and saw Winston
Churchill, who now holds the office
of British Prime Minister.
Churchill took a strong interest
In the idea, and there were more
trials. Several inventors put their
brains together, and as result
there came into being machines
which seemed to fit the needs Of
the war.

would not guess what they were
to do on the battlefield. This name
has stayed with them from that

Those pioneer tanks were 26 feet

After $50 tanks had been made,

they were taken to Southern Eng
land for practice. Then they were
transported to France with great
care to keep the secret.
There was a place between two
rivers in France which was Quiet
at that moment. The Germans had
long line of trenches, and this
line faced a line of Allied trenches.
On a misty September morning in
1916, the Germans saw looking
machines coming toward them.
There were 80 in the attack that
day. They broke the way for a
forward movement of foot soldiers,
and did other work of value in the
battle. Three hundred Germans
threw up their hands and surren-
dered to the crew of one of the
tanks.

Hyde, who looked glumly through
her glasses. And Lola, who gazed
ever so seriously at them like a
dark-eyed child who didn't quite
understand.
The brightness had faded quickly
from Bills face. He knew pre-
cisely how Jeremy felt, he was
thinking. For a black moment Bill
felt a return of the anger and jeal-
ousy he had felt. It stung him to
see Jeremy drawn closer and
closer to Gayle Dixon, spiritually.
Stung him, and yet contradic-
torily gave him a vague, painful
sense of satisfaction as well. He,
Bill, owned nothing of value in this
world, possessed no money save
the day-to-day expenses needed for
his odd employment here. Even
this employment couldn't last
many months, he realized,
times were undeniably hard out in
the world. On the other hand, Jer-
envy Tucker was a millionaire, Sc
cure for life. Bill so wanted Gayle
to know security, SO longed for her
to have happiness in Life. Since
Jeremy could afford it for her

and talking very factually and seri-

of what will please him, and what

prove this plan entirely. So, let's

WHEN the U. S. 16-cent airmail
 " stamp, above. bearing the official insignia of airmail serv- ice, was released in 1924, U. S. foreign airmail service was still in the experimental stages. There was a short route operating be- tween Seattle and Victoria, Can- ada, inaugurated in 1920, and att tempts had been made to con- meet Key West and Havana by air, but the venture was short lived. Regular service between U. S. and Cuba was not achieved until 1927.
