Is the killer of men. 'The only difference Is In the Runs they mount and the uses to which they are put. In making a charge against a well-positioned foe, the male'tnnk will go forward to wipe out machine-gun nests. This Is, of course, the most effi cient and modern weapon eer Invented, and capable of accounting for the great est number of lives. Terrible Knitlne of War "Therefore. It was necessary to find something that could destroy the machine-gun. In the male tank, I think wo hae that problem pretty well solved The tank goes forward, shelling machine-gun positions and breaking' down wire defenses. It makes a way for the female tanks and the infantry charge Then, when the female tank gets Into action, she goes after the boche with her machine guns. The mule tank mounts healer guns than the machlne'rlfle." Oemrnl Swinton broke off In his nar rathe to tell of a t-ev en-weeks' trip on the Pacific coast to Seattle, San I'ranclsco; New Mexico, Arizona and Texa in the Interests of the third Lib ert) Loan campaign.

We had our eyes open for It. but made little head way until a month before the war be gan, when an oHlcer reported to me that he had seen a tractor near Ant werp which was able to climb oer rough ground and which might serve as the principle of the machine for which we were searching "I went out to see the machine and found n farmer at work with It tn a field Without letting him know my Identity or purpose. I got him to dem onstrate the thing to me. I saw Its pos sibilities Immediately. "Then the war broke out and It was October before we were able to gle our attention to the development of the tank I obtained the Henlees of two officers who are Inventors and we set about making a war machine nlong entirely new lines.
