The most wonderful of ali perhaps was that of one of the "tanks" or new armored motor cars which started for Berlin on its own initiative. This mon strous landship, ambling and lumbering along, did not wait for the infantry after the tak ing of Gueudecourt, but plod ded over shell holes and across lots looking for food like some pre-historie lizfcrd. Sooner or later it was bound to find an other German trench and engagé the occupants with its machine guns. In this it succeeded, but it ran out of gasoline. ADRIAN MINERS GO ON STRIKE, DEMANDING EIGHT HOUR WORK DAY PUNXSUTAWNEY, Sept. 29.—As a result of the strike of the "outside men" at the Adrian mine of the R. and P. Coal and Iron Co., the mine is idle today. The tipple men and fìremen are demanding an eight-hour day at the present wage rate. A con ferete was held yesterday between James Purcll, distriet U. M.

FIRE IN STATE CAPITAL METROPOLITAN ANNEX ALMOST TOTALLY DESTROYED HARRISBURG, Sept. 28.—Fifty sleeping guests had narro'.v escapes early today when fire almost destroyed the Metropolitan Annex on Market Street, formerlv the United States Hotel, own ed by C. H. Moore, formerly proprietor of tlie Moore Hotel of this place. Policemen and fìremen ran through the building carrying out the guests. The damage will amount to several thousand dol lars. THE PA TRIOT be supplied with great stores of arms and munitions by the Al lied nations. M. Venizelos, for mer premier and leader of the pro-Ally party, has become the man of the hour in Greece. His prestige ranks with, if it does not over-shadow that of King Constantine. A formai declaration of war by Greece would make the 15th nation to enter the world confiict and the llth to take the field against the Germanie. allies. In some quarters belief pre vails that the Greek government has been impressed no less by the growing pro-Ally feeling in Greece than by the great victor ies which the Anglo-French arm ies are winning on the Somme front. Almost every day now brings news of fresh progress in that quarter and of growing demoralization among the Ger man .. News fr« ;n Athens that sc-wn Gree.c warsLips have j vned the Aliiel fle'.t ras been foliowed by repons OL lurther desertions from the yrmy and growing strength of the national defence araiy of the revolutionists. When the Germans found this strange creature, with its im penetrable steel hide,. stalled, curiosity and a desire for re venge was a filip to their cour age. They went after it with the stalking evidity of the preistor ie man after a wounded marn ino th that .has had his bulk tane in one of the alleys of Save Dwellers' row, while they tried to avert the thrusts of its dead ly tucks. NQ such game was ever seen before on this western front, which is used to ali kinds of bi zarre fighting. According to the account ver aciously given by officers, while the tank's machine guns were blazing right and left and tak ing heavy toll of life, some Ger mans managed to creep along their trenches under the fore and hind legs of this crushing beast and then they swarmed over it looking for an opening through which they might strike at its vitals.
