the start of the great motor-car
race from Pekin TO Paris---half across
the world. In the distance to be tray
ersed, the difficulties To be surmounted
aud the dangers 10 which the daring
motorists VIII be exposed, the contest
far eclipses all previous competitions
that have ever taken place. Mountains
VIII have TO be climbed immense
traclless deserts crossed ana to the
excitement of coping with tremendous
natural obstacles Will be added the
risk of death by starvation or at the
hands of fierce nomadic tribes.
NEWSPAPER SCHEME.
AS Americans are doubtless aware the
race has been planned by that enter
prlsing Paris daily, the "Matin," which
had previously played a conspicuous
part in promoting automobile competi-
lions. It's proprietOrs had come 20 the
conclusion that II the mOtor-car is, as
It's partisans claim the vehicle OF the
future II IS useless 10 continue organ-
i2ing contests along short and specI-
ned circuits which Is much the same as
II one We're to test the great lying
expresses of the world by making them
turn round and round a. big city. II,
argued the ''Matiu," the progress al
ready achieved IL 10 he maintained. We
must show that the motor car Is not a
playJhing, but Is able to 60 "anywhere
and everywhere.
So one fine mornlnRe. three months
ago the question was sprung upon the
world
