Ti E "TANK„
A CONQUEROR
Official History Showing Each
Step in Development of the
War Machine that Smashed
the Hindenburg Line Without
the Use of Artillery Fire.
The part played by the "tanks" in
breaking the German line has lifted
them to ;t prominence held by no oth-
er devise invented, or improved, since

marine, and every new weapon of the
Germans, from the Zeppelin to poison
gases, must yield predence, for the
thne, at least, to the new type of ar-
mored cars which, upsetting preced-
ent and prediction. This official his-
tory tells howthe tank was contrived
and developed, by the British Govern-
ment and how crews were trained to
bring all its power as a fighting mach-
ine to bear on the enemy.
1—THE NEED OF TANKS
Qua flre from the German trenches
:must be discovered if our infantry were
to carry out assaults with success, 'i 111'1
idea of a self-propelled armored car
which could move unscathed over un-
protected ground, could crash down
wire entanglements, and carry guns
with a crew to work them, occurred
to several people both in the army and ,
the navy. Such an engine, recalling
the turris mubilis of Livy and the '
0 o
becrol c f the Middle Ages would not
only be able to tackle troublesome

2 --THE EVOLUTION OF THE TANK.
liven before this '.Tar the develop-
ment of the caterpillar tractor had
r suggested to a few far-sighted people
the possibility of evolving from this
invention a machine capable of offen-
sive use over rough country in close
Warfare.
Among the earliest of the more
practical suggestions was one by Cul.
Swinton, the first commanding officer
of the "Heavy Section," in October,
1914, to build armored cars on the
Holt tractor system, idui American in-
vention, or on similiar caterpillar prin-
ciple, to smash through wire entangle-
ments and climb trenches. This idea
was subsequently referred to the com-
mittee of imperial defense and the war
office, and experiments with various
tractors were made on behalf of the
war office, for some time without
practical result. In the meantime a
similar idea had occurred to officers
in the Royal Naval Air Service, and
Mr, 'Churchill, then First Lord, took it
up warmly,
When in June, 1915, the Com-
mander in Chief in France sent in a
memorandum urging an exhaustive
examination of the question, two state
departments chiefly concerned had the
matter well in hand, Moreover, the
Ministry of Munitions, which nad re-
cently been established was also con-
sidering the matter. Through the me-
dium of the cumulate of Imperial De-
fense the various efforts for the solu-
tion of the problem were co-ordinated,
and a committee, of which Mr. Church-
ill was a member, %v.''s appointed to Be-
side on the distribution of the work.
According. to the recommendation
of this committee tate war office laid
down the conditions which had to be
fulfilled by the cal. It should be
able to climb a fit: -foot parapet and
width it had to cosiorm to the mea-
surements of standard war office brid-
ges and to railway transportation re-
quirements, and it must not be too
high, for reasons of visibility to the
enemy; it must be protected against
close -range rifle fire and machine-gun
tire, and it must be able to destroy
machine gun emplacements, It was
agreed, however, that the first exper-
in battle, Their periscopes were
imental work should be left in the
hands of the admiralty committee,
A year was spent by the admiralty
committee in reasearches and experi-
ments before a satisfactory machine
was designed and constructed. Fin-
ally, from among the numerous
types of tractors inspected the most
satisfactory was found to be a cater-
pillar tractor with an endless self -
laid track, over which internal driv-
ing wheels could be propelled by the
engines.
The construction of these new en-
gines of warfare was still necessarily
a slow business. Improvements were
continually being adopted, which ne-
cessitated changes in the orginal
designs, and men had to be specially
trained in the factories for the work
required, it was not, therefore, as
we have seen, till about July, 1916,
that the first consignment arrived
at the secret manoeuvre ground to
meet the personnel which was to use
them.
Then new machines, as delivered at
the secret camp, were found to be of
two slightly different designs. One,
called -the male, was armed with' two
Hotchkiss quick -fire guns, with a
The Machine Gun Corps of the
British Army as constituted in Oc-
tober, 1915, was divided into an in-
fantry, a cavalry, and a motor branch.
Six months later a new section was
formed at Bisley. The men for this
new section were taken from the pick
of the Derby recruits; for the junior
officers two colonels went on a voyage
of discovery to cadet battalions and
other units and selected promising
young men with a knowledge of Inter-
nal combustion engines who had given
proofs of an adventrous spirit and of
," e F some
ability make men mov or o
1 y is
time the object of the new unit re-
mained a mystery even to those drafted
into it, except so far as the qualifica-
tions required of the officers accorded
an inkling.
The name given to the new organ-
ization—tate Heavy Armored Section
of the Motor Machine Gun Service --
only deepened the mystery, as there
were no signs"of cars, armored or un -
armored, and the only training given
to the men was foot drill and machine
gun practice. However, after some
time spent in these occupations the
colonel in command addressed the com-
pany commanders and some other of-
ficers on parade, and after commending
the spirit they had hitherto shown,
bade them be of good heart, as a won-
derful new car, which would astonish
thele all, was shortly to be issued to
them for service in the field.
At last it was announced that the
new car was ready. But it was not
brought to the camp near Aldershot,
where the section was stationed—
that wits far too much in the public
eye. A site had been chosen in a
more remote part of the country.
there a camp was pitched, carefully
screened from inquisitive passers-by;
it was surrounded by fences and guard-
ed by sentries posted at intervals of
100 yards, with orders to admit no
one who was not furnished with a
special pass. Companies of the Arm-
ored Car Section, as soon as their pre-
liminary training wits completed, were
successively drafted to this camp to
became familiarized with their weapon
on destruction.
The new armored car concealed in
this lair certainly had all the promis-
ed elements of surprise. At first sight
it appeared little more than a huge
shapeless bulk of metal, It was said
to weigh some 4o tons, was armor
pitted all over, with tiny spy -holes at
intervals, from some of which peeped
out murdeous-looking gun muzzeis,
and had no visible means of progres-
sion except two small motor wheels at-
tached like a tail behind. The wheels
behind were found to act only as a
ruddier to direct its course, the propul-
sive force coming from some internal
and invisible wheels that traveled over
long endless metal tracks, extending
in an eliptical shape from the snout
to the rump and moving forward as
the creature advanced. The pace at
which this strange object moved was
slow—barely three utiles ate hour,
The first company of the Heavy
Armored Car Section were delighted
with the spectacle of the creature
intrusted to their care, and prompt-
ly adopted the name "Big Willie,"
with which their neW ,pet had pre-
viousy been christened, The two
next of the same breed to come in
were called "Little Willie" and
"Mother,"
In the autumn of 1414, when the
opponents had settled down to trench
warfare, it became obvious that some
means of parying the danger of well -
directed and weli-protected machine

The members of the heavy Section were knocked out this was not ne-
cessarily fatal to the crews, who
often managed to escape, and the
casualties were small in proportion
to the number of tanks put out of
action. Those who inaugurated
tank tactics in this first battle de-
serve all the credit they can receive.
Once having proved their value
the tanks came to stay. Later in
the year tanks were sent out to
Egypt and were in action at Gaza,
In Novembervember they were used again
sin
in Prance. Meanwhile more and
more tanks were being constructed
and an increasing personal to form
the crews and the repair sections
were being trained in England.
After the first success in France the
growing importance of the organ-
zation was emphasized by a change
of title from "Heavy Section" to
"Heavy Branch of the Machine
Gun Corps." Finally in July, 1917,
the growing size and importance
of the tanks organization justified
the army council in entirely separ-
ating it from the machine gun
corps and establishing it as a special
tank corps by itself under a direction
general,
In France the tanks have been
in action in successively increasing
numbers at each attack delivered
on a large scale. At Arras in April,
at Messines in June and at the third
battle of Ypres in August they have
continued their valuable work. They
naturally have not enjoyed the ad-
vantages of surprise, so useful in
their first engagement, and it could
not be expected that a vigilant
enemy like the Germans would not
contrive counter -Measures, They
have now established special ob-
servers and air piaees to wet.% for
tanks and signal their appearance,
and guns both in the rear and in the
trenches to deal with them.
Armor -piercing bullets are served
out to their riflemen and machine
gunners for use at close quarters,
of the Machine Gun Corps after ar-
riving at their camp had a good deal
of work in front of them before they
could hope to hake their tanks on
active service, They had to learn how
to drive and steer them, to repair
them, and to fire off theft guns when
boxed up within their narrow compass;
they even had to learn how to live
at all inside them. Imagine a narrow
cabin some 9 or 10 feet wide, 13 feet
long and four feet high into which had
to be crammed an engine of over 100
horsepower, two guns, provisions for
three clays, ammunition and equipment,
besides a crew of several men, ' The
noise made by the engine made it im-
posisble to hear an order, consequent-
ly every communciation had to be
made by signs; the armor plating was
so effective that one could only see
for steering or for aiming the guns
through the narrowest chinks; the mo-
tion, too, of the tank over rough
ground was not unlike that of a ship
in a heavy sea, and this motion, com-
bined with the smell of oil, the close
atmosphere, the heat and the noise,
was at first apt to induce the same
symptoms as sometimes affect those
uninured to sea voyages.
In spite of all these difficulties, so
great was the zeal displayed that at
the end of July, tote, it was possible
to hold two exhibition combats with
tanks over the trench system prepared
one before General Staff officers, the
other before the King. These exhibi-
tions showed that the tanks answen.d
the purposes for which they had been
designed, and orders were given for
them to be made ready for France. At
the end of August, 50 tanks were load-
ed at night on the railway at the camp's
private siding and sent off to France
with all due precaution for secrecy.
They were landed at iiavre on Aug. 29
and went up to the front, some by
road, others by railway.
The tanks sent over were painted
all over for the purpose of conceal-
ment with wierd colors which added
to their grotesque appearance. They
were also given fancy names by the
sten sometimes illustrated by rough

3—TANKS IN ACTION
When the tanks arrived at the
front they were naturally objects of
wonder to all who were privileged to
see them. Detachments of tanks were
assigned to the army commander
then engaged in the continuation of
the Somme offensive, On Sept. 15
they were let loose for the test of
battle.
The new offensive, which began on
Sept 15, was a continuation of the
great battle of the Somme that had
started in the previous July. The
object of this offensive was to drive
the Germans out of high ground
running east and south of Thiepval,
from which they could enfilade our
newly gained positions. The Ger-
mans were strongly entrenched, and
had hundreds of gigantic wasps'
nests scatteded about in the shape
of strong concrete emplacements for
machine guns. Bitter experience had
taught our generals that a success-
ful advance under cover of our ar-
tillery barrage into the first line
trenches was too often doomed to
be hung up by the concerted fare
from these wasps' nests, which
could not be reached by our in-
fantry, The chief business of the
tanks was to help our infantry by
destroying these nests,
Sept. 15 was a misty morning and
comparatively few of our troops saw
the long line of trunks which the
night before had been comfortably
parked in a secluded valley, deploy-
ing into battle position. But when
the mists rose and the tanks ap-
peared to friend and foe in all their
grotesque uncouthness, the effect was
as exhilarating to us as it was dumb-
founding to the Germans.
When the Germans had recovered
their senses sufficiently they direct-
ed all the available rifle and ma-
chine-gun fire upon them. But the
tanks did not mind. A war corres-
pondent, describing the adventures
of Creme de Menthe on the way to
Courcelette. narrates- that:
"Tine bullets fell from its sides
harmlessly, It advanced upon a
broken wall, leaned up against it
heavily until it fell with a crash of
bricks, and then rose on to the
bricks and passed over them, and
walked straight into the midst of
factory ruins,"
One tank in another part of the
field was in action for 20 Consecu-
tive hours. Another, getting well
ahead of the infantry, on finding it-
self alone, turned back to see what
had become of its human conian-
ions. They were found to be held
1 up by a machine-gun emplacement

No mere will the small boy come
home from the Sunday School picnic
and boast of the number of sandwiches
he had. No more will he pick out the
cake by the icing it has. The small boy
is called upon to make sacrifice in the
cause of the Allies as well as the grown

annual picnic. According to the food
may not be served at the noon meal.
Pork, veal or roast beef may not be
used at all ou Wednesday and Fridays,
Sandwiches may be served daring the

nerved during the afternoon except on
those days on which pork is prohibited.
Not more than four ounces of ham per
person, can be used. Where white
bread is eaten it is necessary to pro-

to cake• the icing has to be cut out and
mother has to go easy on the sugar and
shortening for the pie. It is a hard

For Help?
ARM help is scarce, but this condition can be relieved
to a marked degree by using machines that accomplish
more work in a given time with less man power.
Why should the farmer cling to horses ---a slow, expensive
means of power --when every other business is adopting
the truck and thereby reducing the cost of hauling, speeding
up deliveries, and saving for human needs the food that
the horses would otherwise consume?
The motor driven truck can work constantly at maximum
loafs under the burning summer sun, or in the coldest weather.
Unlike the horse it needs no rests while working, it eats only
while in actual use, and when the day's work Is done 1t
requires very little attention, and leaves you free for other
"Choles" about the place. Then, it can be housed in one-
quarter the space of the horses, wagon and harness it replaces.
It is a mistaken idea that a truck is useful only for driving
upon paved {roads. The Ford can be driven all over the farm,
and used for hauling grain, potatoes, fruit, roots, fertilizer,
wood, stock, milk or any other product. The speed it
travels, the time it saves, and its low upkeep cost appeal
very strongly to all users of the Ford Truck. If you need
help, older your Ford One Ton Truck today.
