Swinton, of the British army, who adapted the tractor idea to the first military "tank," lately gave in New York an interesting account of the invention. We quote from the New York "Times :" There had long been a demand for an adequate method of protecting infantry on an advance. The fundamental purpose for which the tank is intended has long been recognized. The ancient Romans had the equivalent of the tank in what were called tortoise, and in the Middle Ages the belfry was used. In this war in particular some antidote for the machine gun was required, for the Germans had learned a lesson from the Russo-Japanese War, and were plentifully supplied with machine guns. The Germans did not mind how many machine guns were captured; each one was used to get the last possible man. America must be credited with both the machine gun and its antidote, for in Antwerp in 1914 a friend of mine saw for the first time an American agricultural caterpillar tractor. He wrote to me, inquiring if there were not some military use to which the idea could be put, and the invention of the tank resulted. Of course, great secrecy had to be maintained. The first bit of camouflage used in connection with the manufacture of the machines was the name tank. They were called tanks so that not even the workingmen who were making them would know what they were manufacturing, and the rumor was circulated among the men that they were to be used in connection with the watering of our men in Egypt. Later, when it became time to punch holes in their sides for the guns, another story had to be invented. It was then rumored that they were snow-plows to be used in Russia, and to carry out this deception each tank was stenciled with a Petrograd address, and when the tanks were finally shipped it was generally believed that they were going to Petrograd. In the final days of the construction of the tanks 700 sentries, in three cordons, were thrown around the field in which stood the tanks. Matters were so arranged that the sentries of the outside cordon were not even aware of what was going on inside. It was shortly before the first of the tanks was shipped to France, in September, 1915, that a Zeppelin hovered over the tanks one night. The Zepp, however, came accidentally, and, as they did not throw a searchlight to the earth, the secret was never discovered. Its crew, accordingly, departed without knowing how close they have come to making a great discovery. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Bargain-Maine Summer Home, $1,000 ment this year.
