British tanks uprooted. a whole French village to stop the fire of Ger- man machine guns from the houses in the latest allied offensive, says a Lon- don despatch of Aug, 28th. The French troops had bee serious- ly hampered by the German machine guns in or on the tops of the houses. Tanks were in the vicinity, and a mes- sage was sent to them for assistance. These complied, but ¢he German ma- chine guns were too well protected to be knocked ont by the fire from the tanks' guns. Accordingly the tank commanders conferred at the far end of the village and decided, in a hurried impromptu. war, council, to destroy, the village by sheer weight of metal.
