As a means of cover* Ing the true point of attack, the chief of tank corps presented a scheme which received the approval of the high command. Cut Up Like an Army of Tanks. ??Accordingly, after the withdrawal tor, Lieut. Illgglns with his platoon of the Three Hundred and Thirty-fourth battalion tank corps, was directed to proceed from this point in a north westerly direction along the lines via narrow gauge railway. lie was to stop each night and make a reconnaissance In front of our positions with his tanks atul Immediately load up and repeat the operation the following night further down the line. MOn Sept. 19, the five tanks and their crews were loaded and the ex pedition started. That evening they stopped In the rear of a little wood, manv kilometers west of- St. Mlhlel. Off the little narrow gnage fiat cars tukabled the the tanks and nosed Into the woods for concealment. About 11 o'clock all was ready and* the minia ture army started forward on Its lnls sfon. Rverything went dtt as sched uled. The tanks rolled through our positions and Into No Van's Land. "They were operated back and forth for half an hour. After this they were quietly withdrawn, crawled back on their little narrow gauges and started merrily on their way. They timed their work perfectly, and as they pulled out a terrific barrage hit the* wood they had left. "The following evening the proced ure was repeated. Again the bar rage descended too late to hurt the jaunty baqdJ For six successive nights the troupe Staged their one night stands, and the reports all along the sector showed that the Hun was up In the air. All dsy long the sky was full of plsnes searching for the army of tanks which the enemy wss sure was concentrating on this front All suspicious looking places were bombarded with the usual Hun thor oughness and Intensity. All night long the dsrkness was dispelled by hundreds of flares and rockets, and all Indications showed that Heinle was not going to be caught napping. Diverted Two Divisions. "Best of all, lust as the little band was preparing to entrain to get Into the big show In the Argonne there came a message from the intelligence section ststing 'two German divisions withdrawn from Argonne front. En training for your sector."* The tank corps has Just received at Camp Meade, Md? from the Rock Island arsenal two Mark VIII. tanks. This type, the largest yet placed In quantity production, was especially de signed for use sgalnst the Hinden burg line and similar defenses. Not so fast nor so easily handled as the lighter types, it possesses the ability to cross much larger ditches, crush '?more formidable obstacles, and cer rles a much heavier armament. The great difficulty with the larx? British tanks was that they were un derpowered qnd, on account of the ar rangement of the machinery within, did not afford the proper room for the. crews. A commission of British and American experts has corrected faults largely through the adoption of the American Liberty motor.

Wool worth building, New York city, the highest office building in all the world, la often referred to as "The Cathedral ot Ceaaaaerce." This marvelous building Is ?92 feet or 60 stories tall. About 8,000,000 human beings reside within the bird'a-eya view visible from the observation .gal lery on the fifty-eighth floor. Thin view, ?e unusual, so wonderful, has at tracted representatives from mora than sixty different countries. About four hundred feet of the out side of the upper portion of the tower la flood tlghted at night. This causes the building to present n bold and im posing spectacle?visible, 'tis said, 40 miles at sea. The structure weighs 223,000 tons, this tremendous weight being supported by 69 caissons, the largest 19 feet In diameter, all going down to bed rock or 110 feet below the sidewalk. Engineers claim its con struction Is so solid and safe that it would withstand a wind having a ve locity of 200 miles per hour. About 250 people are required to op erate and maintain the building, which contains almost thirty acres of floor space. The tenants and their employ ees number about ten thousand. To serve them and those who enter to transact business with them, 28 ele vators are required. About 25,000 peo ple, on an average, ride in them dally. Approximately 250,000 p'eces of mail matter are delivered in the building dally. The two elevators which oper- ; ate to the tower are the fastest ele- I vators In the world, having a speed of , 700 feet per minute.
