Is this statement true or false?
"a popular military song now be-

the triumphs of American soldiers

The answer is true" But do not

pirates in 1901. Nevertheless. the
United States army is now celebrat-

but tanks. Whether the British can

have just talked with high Of
ficer who has served with Amer
ica's new first armored division.
He says that America has mech
anized army in the making that will
be superior to any Hitler can pro-
duce. This officer credits our sue
cess to an old Ameican character
istic which some people were afraid
had run to seed in this push-button
age; the ability to do things with
our hands.

THE new army" said the officer,

Americans are natural mechanics
and it is coming out as result of
the training of our motorized units
When the army laid aside May

States built first, and concentrated
on the smaller and far more mobile
13-ton unit mounted with 37-mm.
gun, many people wondered If it
could stand up against the heavier
German tanks with their much high
er caliber weapons. In the first
weeks fighting in the present Of
fensive in Libya the American crea-
ton proved superior. The anti
tank guns it carries because OF their
high muzzle velocity have greater
penetrating quality than the Ger
mans heavier guns.
But the superior mechanical in
tegrity, the greater speed, and the
other qualities that 60 into the
American product are only half the
battle. Just as horses have to be
watered and fed, so tanks must be
cared for. Maintenance is a vital
factor. And this is where the
mechanical genius of the individual
is important. When tank division
rolls out, tools, spare parts, ma
chinery must follow after. And the
American ordnance unit, really a
rolling machine shop, which moves
in the wake of the mobile units, is
able to make any repairs short OF
those requiring the equipment OF an
arsenal.
At home, American motorized
units have been submitted to all
practical endurance tests in the
field that they would have to meet in
battle except being shot at in action.
Now, thanks to the fact that the
British in Africa are using Amer
ican tanks, they are getting the nec-
essary final test without risking
American lives.
That is one reason why army Of
ficers are celebrating Americas
bloodless battle of Africa. Perhaps
somebody will write song about it.
