They decided to care for each rther's practice and to serve free of charge, in so far as was possible, the families of soldiers. Xow the lawyers have come to the front.

Many of the leading members of the bar have proffered their services in behalf of the civil rights of soldiers, and their action has led Provost Marshal General Crowder to i-sue an appeal to all the members of tho legal profession to look upon the civil rights of the soldier as the "h'srhest cause of every lawyer."

He climbed over -some of the roughest ground he could find. Immediately I saw the possibilities in the traclor.

"When the war started, events moved with such rapid succession that it was October before we were able to give our attention to the development of the tank. I am not an Inventor, but I obtained the services of two officers who are Inventors and we set about making a war machine along entirely new Unas. The development of the machine was slow and it was almost two years before the first tank appeared on the field to terrify the Germans." In the September number of the Strand Magazine, Colonel Swinton told of the difficulty in finding a name for the new Juggernaut. It was necessary that the name should reveal nothing to the Germans. Finally the word "Tank" was chosen because it was so non-committal.

Says Colonel Swinton in the Strand: "Aside from being called 'Panzerkraftwagen' and 'Schutzengrabenvernichtung auto-mobil' by the Germans, the machines were otherwise miscalled."

intended they should be thought to be snow ploughs. It was necessary to transport them long distances by rail and they were always loaded on the trains at night. Even then they were covered with tarpaulins. Colonel Swinton gives a vivid picture of a scene as some of the tanks were being loaded for their ultimate destination. The siding where the tanks were to be loaued was brilliantly lighted, and says Colonel Swinton: "From out the gloom continually crawlad a procession of slug-shaped monsters, purring, panting and emitting flames as they slid over the ground." Once when tanks were being loaded word was given of the approach of a Zeppelin.

Colonel Swinton's narrative says: "At once every light in the loading yar.l was extinguished and every tank froze to stillness forces. Mr. Palmer wrote: "In the latter stages of the battle of the Somme the intervention of the tanks saved some 20,000 British lives. Where tanks have accompanied the advance and have been able to eat up the enemy machine guns left over' by our bombardment, the bodies of our infantry strew Xo Man's Land irregularly, here and there. Where tanks have not been used, in some places the bodies can be seen to be lying front of the enemy machine gun nests and strong points in swaths like cut corn."
