THE COAST ARTILLERY TRIES OUT A TANK<br />

In a sham battle, recently, this tank, turned out by a manufacturing company located on the Pacific Coast, was<br />

given a chance to win its spurs. It plowed its way indefatigably through sand, brush and barbed wire, driving the de­<br />

fense from the sandhills and trenches. Although not quite as heavily armored as some of the machines now in use<br />

abroad, the sloping sides have a tendency to deflect bullets more readily. The tank, with complete armament, weighs<br />

slightly over fifteen tons. The United States is very apt to avail itself of the product of this factory, which is at present<br />

fifty cars a month.
