Papers represent the tanks as insignificant weapons. They publish a picture of a gigantic nightmare war engine, recalling H. G. Wells’ wildest fictions, side by side with an ordinary rubber tyred •car, the second representing what England wischs the world to believe, the other representing the real thing. THE MACEDONIAN REVOLT. LONDON, October 9. A British official message reports— On the Salonika-Doiran front there was the usual artillery bombardment.
