Eyewifnesses Tell
|0f Weird Battle
OF 700 Tanks
Metal Monsters Clash
And Claw Earth in
Spectacular Combat
BY ERSKINE CALDWELL.

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and Pm.
MOSCOW, July 18-Eyewitnesses
are arriving in Moscow with hair
raising accounts of tank battles be-
tween the German and Soviet
armies. Today I heard descrip-
ton of one battle in the west that
puts all previous accounts in the
shade.
This particular engagement took
place over an area miles long and
half a mile wide The eyewitness
said that TOO tanks of all sizes,
about equally divided into a Soviet
and German force, clashed with a
sound like the world coming to an
end. Houses toppled over like duck
pins, he said. Trees were uprooted
and splintered as though struck by
lightning Terrain that before the
battle started was hummocky and
hilly was leveled fiat as a dishpan
and field of grain were chewed
until the ground looked as if it had
been turned upside down.
Like all stories told me previously
by eyeWitneSseS, today's story re-
peated that the German tanks were
new and apparently unused before
the present battle. He said that
when the battle started the op-
posing tanks rushed at each other
with deafening roar and that the
spectacle was far beyond anything
he had seen imagined in book and
magazine illustrations.
Jockey for Position.
Before the first impact Of the
tanks he said that he had found
himself holding his breath.
The tanks spouted choking cloud
of gasoline vapor over the scene
and opposing tanks at first jockeyed
for position like race horses.
But that lasted for only q few
moments. No time was lost by
either the SovietS or Germans in
heading full speed at each other. At
the impact of steel against steel,
the scene for few moments
looked like a motion picture still"
where animation is suspended in a
grotesque manner. But that did not
last long either.
Some tanks that had rammed full
speed into each other buckled up
ward like two railway locomotives
crashing head-on, while their treads
claWed away at the earth, trying
to get traction. The clash Of tanks
caused some to burst into flame.
Tanks Crumble.
The most breath-taking sight. ac-
cording to my eyewitness, was what
he described as numerous instances
where two opposing tanks of equal
size smashed into each other head
on and the German tanks crumbied
under like cardboard.
He said the German tanks were
made of inferior steel and Tor that
reason could not stand up against
the superior Soviet tanks. He said
this particular battle began in the
early morning and continued with
out stopping until midafternoon.
When the battle was over the field
was strewn with overturned
crumpled and burning tanks
was told that only small num-
ber of German tanks escaped when
battle ended, and that most of the
tank crews that were alive were
taken prisoner.
Claims Russians Superior.
He said the Germans were ex-
cellent fighters as long as they could
stay organized but that they were
helpless when they had to fight
alone. He said Soviet soldiers made

superior fighters because they were
able to act individually and inde-
pendently, whereas the Germans be-
came disorganized and began to
shout for help when they became
separated from their command. He
described the Germans as being
well trained to handle tanks and
other motorized and mechanical
equipment, but said they acted as

 Perhaps by ? pm, the President will have decks cleared for a little paper work, but even then he is not content to do just one thing at a time. As when recently, Presi- dent Camacho of Mexico asked the President to sit for a portrait by Painter Armando Drechsler, which when finished will be presented to the United States, Roosevelt chose his paper work time for being a model.

Pioneer Home
 Addition 10
 Be Postponed
ImpossibiIity of Obtaining Materials Blocks Pro-
 posed Structure

Prospects at this time for any addition to the Pioneer Home at Sitka are very remote, due not alone to the impossibility of ob- taining essential materials but also because contractors will not figure jobs unless materials are definitely assured, it was declared this morn- ing by William A. Hesse, chairman of the Pioneer Home Building Commission, following a meeting of the board this morning.
 The Pioneer Home Building Commission. after a study of the matter, has decided upon a defin- ite plan so that whenever condi- tions are more favorable, this bad- ly needed addition can be under taken and finished without delay" Hesse said.
 The last Legislature authorized $l75,000 for this addition and the plan decided upon by the commits sion would contemplate a wing Al by 87 feet, having four floors and would provide space for 84 beds besides dining room, sitting rooms. bath rooms, lavatories and addi- tional storage space and utility rooms.
 This proposed building, based upon last summers prices, would cost approximately $l33,00O
 There seems to be a general tendency in the construction of such buildings to underbuild and the desire to save money has prob ably more to do with this than anything else" Hesse pointed out The committee has decided upon the recommendation of the archi- tect that while this proposed build ing is amply large for any visable future needs that any strain upon the Territorial Treasury can be overcome by finishing two floors to take care of the existing needs and completing the other two floors when the need for additional space exists"
