Surrender Quickly When You Face This Armored Car

HOLD up your hands and cry ‘Kamerad,’ or I'll shoot!’ cries a boyish voice, as you approach the house. Coming down the path you see a miniature armored car, moving rapidly toward you. The only occupant, a little boy in military uniform, tries to look his fiercest as he looks at you from behind the formidable machine-gun which is pointed threateningly at you.
Perhaps you hesitated a trifle too long in obeying the command—the little soldier’s hand gives a turn to the gun-crank in front of him and with a vicious “Ra-ta-ta-ta” the gun begins to spit imaginary bullets in your direction.
The little boy is glowing with excitement and pleasure. He has vanquished the enemy who refused to surrender and with a joyful “Hurrah!” he runs his armored car to the other side of the house in quest of other enemies.
The armored car shown in the picture is mounted on a tricycle frame and carries a big gun in front and a few smaller guns on each side. A spring snapping over cogs produces a noise like that of a machine-gun, when the crank is turned. Toys of a martial character are always extremely popular with boys and the great war, naturally, has increased the interest of the kiddies.
