Washington.?The story of flvs little
Amerlcap tanks and the part they
played Id the great Argonne offensive
la told aa follows in a statement Is
sued by the war department:
**000, Perching with the first Ameri
can army had Just finished awakening
the German high command to a healthy
fear of the American poldler by' re
ducing the St. Mlhlel salient, and the
plana for the Meuae-Argonne offensive
were about to be carried into execu
tion. In these daya of the airplane

possible to deliver a surprise assault.
Nevertheless no pains are spared te
deceive the enemy as to *he exact
point of attack. 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were quietly withdrawn, crawled back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.

city, the highest office building in

"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, ?e unusual, so wonderful, has at

About four hundred feet of the out

the building to present n bold and im

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

Approximately 250,000 p'eces of mail
