No single wmpon in 11w history of mlllury science nu matched the tank's rapid and irrevocable revol- ulifln of future armies and their tactics. Gun powder did it, but the canon was 1,000 years in accom- pilshlng the complete transforma- tion which the tank has achieved in a quarter-century.

Born to defeat the entrcuclmd machine-gun. which lud given such strength to lire defence that it deadlocked the 1914-18 battle- field the funk not only did so but. even gave the machine-gun mobil- '. If ‘nsd more than reversed the rbldding cost of attack before the

and gasoline have been given un- precedented speed, range and hitt- ing strength. 'I‘hcy have foo much power for the defence-and the tank ls thus the ruthless Overlord of the modem battle-scene.

Almost Still-born

Nor ha; any other innovation to modem arms undergone g more painful process on the experimen- tal road towards adoption u a military instrument. The bank was almost still-born; it was close to death several times before lf, could creep; it was nearly abandoned bo- reached the factory stage; and it was then forced inrcugn crisis after crisis on the Western Front before if. was aer-

Bu: from the uncertain lurches and dubious waddle of the 30-min mnnstrasilies of 191B, which bogged down. broke down, were filled with faults, and whose crews were al- most blind in their "iron coffins". have come to-day's swift. efficienfi, and tremendously powerful shock- unlts which can crash through and sweep over, or pierce by narrow

Cmtankerous Contraption;

The first tanks, which were se. crefly built in a plant at ‘Illedford, England, and then tcsbed, and their crews trained, in n. forbidden "ex- plosive area" on Lord Iveagns es- tale in Norfolk, were such cantan- kerous contraption; that almost any change was an improvement. Their 105 h.p, six-cylinder engines bulked, the driving bands failed. the caterpillar track slipped, they would not wade through deep wafer, ""8" wound shocked through them with frightful jars and shud- ders, and their laborious crawl was

Dlthy did they show that poor old man? What. sympathy do they de. serve? And that's not the full story.

Then the Police officers in dis. charge of their duty take fhe cloth. ing, the hat and cap and overcoat, handkerchief. and muffler. Officer Lund takes charge of these. I don't think it is necessary for me to go into the details of the evidence of Mr. MacDonald, but 1 think per- haps so far as Officer Cameron is concerned I better rcfer to it for a moment. He stated that. he examin- ed those coats himself

Now there was not very much use of looking for fingerprints. if these prisoners were the parties who com- miffed that deed. because they each wore gloves. This man Cameron is an expert on fingerprints. The per- soners had on gloves, sowing their prudence. If they went there for the purpose of stealing they would be naturally too shrewd to go without gloves. They may have hail their glove; on because it was cold. Do you think it would be necessary to keep their gloves on in that build-

Evidence of Plthclogllt

In lny cue, Officer Cameron said when he got the coats he saw s atfcrs of blood on the coats.

hue coats nre in evidence, you can see for yourself there are still some apotc on the clothes. You can examine them ourselves. 0n one con. he found sx or seven hairs — c-n the blue coat which wu worn by Phillips-and on the other coat he found one hair.

We could begin with a Hus- site war-cart. or the Roman "wr- toise", or with n letter by Ieonardo da Vinci in which he offered to build an "armoured vehicle" which would "carry artillery and force a path for the infantry". Bu: to Canadian soldiers the first. tank will always dale from an ungainly pair, o bull- and a cow-tank, which fcundered in their lmckiines on the Somme on the day the 5'11 Canad- ian Brigade captured Courceietfe. (‘I'm male; were distinguished by a Hotchkiss G-pollndcr in a barbell: on each side, in nddition to the Vlckers machine-guns of tbs fe- males.) The cow-tank nosed over into a deep crater near Posleres and remained there in grotesque hci-iessncss for weeks while it served as o landmark for troops going in and out of the line. But the bull broke down furllzer back not far from Contalmaison. and was later used for joy-riding pur- poses.

They manned they were in that room and stumbled about. suppose that‘: true and they doubt-less were -would that blood get span/cred? or would not rushing up against something leave a stain? Look at it a5 sensible men. Is that a true explanation or do you think the other would more likely happen? I don't know, but we do know this, that blood of that poor old man was found on the ceil- ing. on the walls. and sputtered on all the boxes and barrels in the place. even the baskets 1nd every- thing else. If these prlsnoers were running in there they would run up against if. but would it be spatfcred in spots on their garments or would that more likely be caused when they were cutting and brutally bent- lng and cutting the man? That's for you gentlemen. It l; too horrible to contemplate.
