:1'hes.e 'Ungainly Monsters Have a
Paralyzing Effect Upon the
German Troops.
It was on August 2112, 19123, that the
first batch of tankx, fifty in number,
landed in France, says Lieut. S. P.
Lloyd. Thy made their way up the
line, some by rail, others by road, with
due precaution for secrecy, and arriv-
ed in time to take part in the second
stage of the greet allied offenoive on
the Somme.
That the Germans expected some-
thing unusual ie shown by a captured
army order of September 14, which
spoke of "new engines of war, as cruel
as effective," But the realization was
elt•l1 worse than the anticipation. A
German newspaper thus described the
horror of the men in their trenches as
they saw the tanks advancing out of
the mist:
"0110 (tared and stared as if ouehad

nonstera approached us slowly, hob-
bling, rolling and rocking, but they ap-
proached. Nothing impeded them.

devil is coming,' and the word was
