In answering a question in the House of Commons, Dr. Macnamara, Secretary to the Admiralty, has at last admitted the names of the men who first thought of,the tanks, and it appears from what he said that His Majesty's land ships wore a gift to the Army from tlm Senior Service. It was after experiments with armoured cars in Belgium that Commodore Murray Suetcr, with the assistance of Wing-Commander W. Briggs and Squadron-Commander T. C. Hetherington, thought of and experimented with the. first tanks, and it was from these, devices that the tanks wero gradually evolved. It seems extraordinary that their names should have been kept back so long. Tor Children's Huokinp Oougn. Wood's Great Peppermint Cure.*
