Douglas, Judge*, "TANKS" PARALYZED HUNS. They Could Not Stand Against New British Land Monster. AT THE BRITISH FRONT, Sept, 18.—With ceaseless shell fire from unprecedented concentrations of guns, the battle raged furiously all day, with the British making good their advance of Saturday, while the Germans were rushing up reserves from other parts of the western front.' The demoralization of their infan-' try Saturday by the use of the new. British armored ears called "tanks" was freely confessed by prisoners yesterday. "There was no standing against that sort of thing," said one German officer. "Of course we sur- rendered, those of us who were alive.' We fired at a tank with our rifles.! Our machine guns were turned loose,' on it. But the bullets were only 1 blue sparks on the armor. We thought the British slow and stupid, i despite their courage and stubborn- ness, and they gave us a surprise Iike this!" A column of German prisoners passing a "tank," rejoicing in the nickname of "Creme de Menthe," which had returned from battle ano was resting from its labors, spread out their hands and shook their. heads and Iooked at it, exclaiming in a chorus: "Mein Gott in Himmel! Is it under control? Would it break out and begin firing again? Will we ever forget our first sight of the thing as it came at us out of the morning mist? Is isn't war using a piece of machinery like that; it ie butchery." To this a British officer replied: "No, it is quite peaceable and tame now. It has just been fed. As for it not being war it is quite in keeping with the Hague Convention, which your gas attack at Ypres was not," There seems no question that Fri- day was the most dramatic day in the history of the British army in Prance. The Germans themselves were massing at many points, it ap- pears with a view to attacking to re- cover some of the high ground they had lost. The British anticipated the German attack with; their onslaught, assisted by their new machines, Whose secret they had been keeping iip their sleeves for just such an oc- casion as this. ITALIANS BREAK THROUGH. Important Victory for Cadornia Re- corded on Isonzo Front. LONDON, Sept_ 18. --In their new drive on the whole Isonzo front the Italians have broken through the Austrian line at seevral points,and captured in the Iast two days several thousand officers and men, according to a brief announcement by the Ital- ian War Office Sunday afternoon. Vienna admits officially that Gen- eral Cadorna's troops attacking along Die whole line from the Wippach (Vippocco) River to the sea "gain- ed a little ground." On. the northern wing of the Carso plateau the Austrians were compelled to take back their line, so that it now stands slightly east of San Gradoli- merna. Five hundred prisoners and three machine guns were taken in counter-attacks, it is asserted. In Tyrol the Austrians are violently at- tacked on the Fassane ridge. The capture by. Alpine troops of a point of support west of the summit of 1Vlount Cauriol also is reported. Aus- trian seaplanes raided Vallone and the Monteleone region. The first detailed accounts of the new Italian offensive on the southern last three weeks were entirely de- voted to the moving p u of heavy ar- tillery and the preparation of dug- outs for the bombardiers. The work was done mostly at night-time, as after the fall of Gorizia, the Aus- trians concentrated against the Ital- ian lines a terrific fire to prevent the preparation of a new offensive. The new battle front is ten miles long and lies in a straight line from north-east of the heights of Gorizia to the Adriatic, near St. Antonio, The Austrians held strongly -fortified po- sitions between the western slope$ of Monte Santo and Duino Castle.

This raising Cain at every chance Won't bring you any fame, Or fatten up the bank account That's carried in your name, Or purchase for the tiny tots A pair of pretty shoes, And any way you figure You always find you lose. Schen high old jinks are being raised And you are at the front. Performing like a circus clown Who does the high priced stunt, You seem to be progressing down A mile a minute track, earth you find whenyou come to But That it has set you back. There's nothing in it, little boys, This tearing up the night, And when you come to try it out You'll find that I am right. While you are tossing noise around. The time may slip away, But you will view it different at The cold, gray dawn next day. The modest, plain and simple life Will better stand the strain Provided that it is not made Too simple and too plain, And as you get along in years, At time's remorseless beck, That course will leave you looking much Less like a railroad wreck. Pessimistic. "Why Is a dog said to be man's best friend?" "Don't you know?" "No, No. Do you?" "Yes," "Then tell me." "He is such an onery creature that nothing but a dog would stand for 3nr."
