FRANK SHUMAN
The nest 111 war, whether American or
Kurcpcan, will bn preceded by many ln
rsntlons. Among them may be u (1000-ton
jlirsernnut. able to mow ilown armies as
lastly as the binder sweeps n field of wheat
This land "battleship." with wheoln 200
feet high and driven at a speed of 100
miles an hour by engines of many tliotisnnd
horsepower. It Is said, will be ablo to crosi
the Delaware river as though It wero a
mud puddle.
This proposed monster engine of war will
dwarf the biggest of British Und "tanks"
M thejargcat of locomotives does tho hand
car. Such Is tho prediction or Frank Shuman.
an Inventor and president of tho Simplex
Concrete Piling Company, or 3400 Dlsston
Mr. Shuman says there Is nothing tech
nically Impossible about such a machine.
Which would mean to land battles what tho
superdrtadnoucht means to war on sea.
Guns would bo the smallest destroying
power of such a monster, which by sheer
Xorc would sweep away Und destroy every
thing In Us path. '
Tha monster's wheels would have to turn
over only llfteen times to cover a mile, and
Its Immense slso would send It over rivers
nd valleys as easily as an automobllo
Xiasaes a foot-wido depression In the road.
POWF.rt OF AN AIIMV
'"Why la thero no land battleship compar
able to our own dreadnought Pennsylvania,
totnethlng that will concentrate within one
volume the striking power of an army?'
,Ur. Shuman asks In an article In tha Decem
ber lisuo or Tho J"opuiar nciencu iuv'
' If wrltear
"There la no good engineering reason why
an enormous wheeled structure, heavily ar
mored and capable of traveling at high
speed, should flot wage tho battles of the
future.
'Technically It Is a far easier task to do
algn and build a superdreadnought than a
wheeled destroyer to run on solid ground.
Tha ocean Is a vast level expanse. There
re no. hills and valleys. Water Is In the
same density everywhere. But land varies
from the hardest rock to tile softest quag
rrtlro. Here wo have the reason why we
till opposa armlesi against each ether In
stead of machines.
SWIKTBU THAN TOUIUNG
"Undeniable an these difficulties are, It
Stems to me that they could be overcome
by boldly designing a machine of such di
mensions and of such energy that It could
i travel over ordinary land much an an au
, tomqbUa travels over a country road. A
hilt fifty feet high would be to that ma
China what a six-Inch ridge of clay would
be to an automobile; a swamp would no
tnor hinder Ha course than a halt a foot of
mud would atop a touring car liven over
rough Inland country It would rush more
swiftly than any touring car on a poor road.
Tha Impact of a heavy masa moving with
tha velocity of an express train would ba
Irresistible. Indeed, In Its speed would tie
Us destructive possibilities. It could mow
down everything before It with the relent
leesnesa of a steam roller. Ouns would not
be required to rout an enemy. An army
would ba as helpless In offering resistance
as. a Rock of geese In the path of an auto
mobile. "Picture to yourself a self-propelled ma
chine, comprising three wheels and a
heavily armored body or' car. There are two
Wheels, ISO to 300 feet' In diameter, In
front and a single smaller steering wheel
to tha car. Tha entire structure Is short,
ao that the turning radlua will be small.
PUAN8 AIUIOHED HUD
Ko doubt you are -familiar with the mili
tary masts of our American battleships.
They are latticed towers, not unlike cages.
They are thus constructed no that whole
sections of the lattice work may ba shot
away, but the remaining portions will still
support the mast,
"So I would build the wheels of my war
machine, "Why not armor them Instead?
They would weigh too much thousands of
tons. But tha hub t would armor, and
heavily There the spokes would be con.
ctntrated ao thickly that they might be shot
away In great numbers and the wheel etlll
Stand.
j The two front wheels of this war ma
chlim would have to be spaced about 309
feet apart. They would bao a tread about
twenty feet wide, 1 would make them of
'sisst plates four Inches thick, bolted to
gether In sections.
"I aro fully aware that the problem of
obtaining engines which will give this war
machine a speed of 100 milea an hour Is
nof easily solved. But If thousands of
hursopower can be developed by the erW
gins of pitching- and rolling battleships
i- ...It la not unreasonable to suppose that com

MAYOR TO ASK STATE
LAWS TO BENEFIT CITY
Continued from I'axn One ,
supply the board members with the funds
they demand for their department without
being allowed to exercise any control or
supervision of the methods of assessment
employed by the board. This situation the
Mayor and his adviser ure most anxious
to remedy. One difficulty that has been
encountered Ilea In thn fact that the board
an at present constituted Is friendly to
Senaor Jamei P. McNIchal, whose attitude
toward any change will govern whether or
not any legislative fight will be necessary to
carry out the plans of tha Administration
to bring tho board directly under tho con
trol of the Mayor and Councils.
Tho new legislation not nffected by any
political condition Includes the amendments
planned by Director Wilson, of tho Depart
ment of Public Safety. He Is at present
co-operating with officials of the State
Highway Department with a view of having-
legislation passed compelling ull drivers
of cars to undergo an examination, to have
alt transfers of cars quickly recorded so
that purchasers of second-hand cars can
bo forced at once to procure a new license,
and other needed changes In the laws
governing traffic on city thoroughfares and
State highways. Other amendments that
will not figure political Include recom
mendations from the Bureau of Police
relative to sale of firearms and still others
to the need for more stringent rules govern
ing the carrying of firearms.
The plan to hava Introduced n bill cur
tailing the power of the courts and tha In
spectors of county prisons who now have
the right to make appointments and fix
salaries Irrespective of what action Coun
cils takes, has been outlined, and the need
for such an act has been shown by the fact
that the courts In 1917 want over u, hun
dred new places which, together with many
salary Increases, will create a demand on
the city treasury of approximately $150,000.
These demands Councils' Finance Commit
tee has Ignored In making up the financial
budget for next year, but the courts can
now make mandatory their action and se
cure the payment of the extra salaries by
issuing mandamus.
MAY BR PARK DEPARTMENT
Officials of the city dissatisfied with the
wide latitude given the Falrmount Park
Commissioners by existing laws are anx
ious to have formed a department at parks
to take oer man yof the city's breathing
places and the Iarkway, The Mayor, ex
officio. Is a emiubjr of 'tha Falrmount Park
Commission nnd his attitude on legislation
along this line has never been announced.
Many municipal financiers doubt the advis
ability of attempting any such- legislation
at this time,
Between now and the first of tha year
the Mayor and his advisors will whip Into
shape all of the legislation deemed neces
sary, and before any bills are Introduced
at Harrlaburg, It Is certain that all po
litical factions will hae passed judg
ment upon them.
At a conference today the plan to in
clude In the legislative program a bill pro
viding that the State shall pay to the city
the collateral Inheritance tax was aban
doned as Inadvisable at this time. This
plan, If carried out, would have Increased

Althinigh Mr. Ilallnrd rofuned to consider

desires.

former Director Taylor, will bo the first

This problem, growing out of the threat

While a special commission, headed by

been named by tho President to observe
the working out of the Federal elglit-hour
law, the Joint subcommittee will go Into the
whole problem of railroad wages. Tho
probability of agitation for the enactment
at the coming session of the measures
recommended by the President nt the last

probe of this question. In an outline of the

Whether or not any regulation Is
