One of the enthusiastic admirers of the British "tank" recently gave his j impressions of the car in action. -He said in a letter to his friends : "The tanks are simply wonderful. They can ..'do up prisoners in bundles like strawbinders ,and, in addition, have an adaptation of a Gross printing machine, which enables them to catch up the Huns, fold, count and deliver them in quires, every 13th man being thrown out a little further than the others. The cars in question can chew up barbed wire and turn it into munitions. As they run they slash their tails and clear nway trees, houses, howitzers, and everything else in the vicinitjft They turn on their backs, catch live shells with their caterpillar

feet, and can easily be adapted as subj marines; indeed, most of them cross the Channel in this guise. They loop-the-loop,. travel forwards, backwards, •sideways, not only with equal speed, but at the same time- The tanks can do anything and everything ; in fact, if there is anything that can't be done the tanks can do it."
