 The Austrians and Germans attack ed at daybreak. The defenders were soon elected from their positions at Bazar Sjak. Shortly afterward Ita1- ians on the southern bank of the low CT Arzen were forced to abandon tn cir positions: The Austrians cross ed the river and proceeded south ward.
 At noon a decisive action east of Bazar Sjak drove the Italians from strong positions. The same fate was suffered by the defenders of Sazo Bianco. six miles east of Durazzo.
 By evening the entire outer girdle of defenses was taken. The attack CTS, advancing to the inner line posi- tions, established the fact that the Italians were embarking their troops hurriedIy.

SAXON CONQUERS SAGE BRUSH AND
 SAND FOR MILES
Clyde E. Kirk of Johannes burg Braved Mojave
 Desert.

Five miles through the sand and sage brush across the NGojave Desert had no terrors for Clyde E. Kirk, of Johannesburg, when he went home in his new Saxon Six
 Leaving Majove the party took the wrong branch at a fork in the road and finally came to a stop at the home of a dry -rancher. To go back to the regular road made return trip of about twenty miles necessary. The rancher pointed out a trackless waste and told Kirk that five miles away in an air line was the road he wanted.
 Kirk chose the five miles of sage brush and sand and saved time and fifteen miles,
 There was mot even a trail Sage brush so high that at times it was was. and sand that made the going hard, was the regular thing for the entire distance of the cutoff Notwithstanding the severe nature of the work and the fact that the car was brand new no engine trouble de- bubble or steam.
 q When Johannesburg was reached It took less than a quart of water to re- p1enish the supply. A quart of oil did the same for the oil reservoir. Gasoline economy was in the same proportion.
 Kirk had five in the car and about zoo pounds of luggage, and his mes sage to IF. D. Wright, manager Of the Los Angeles Saxon agency, was full of enthusiasm and expressed a. surprise that the car was so much more than he expected in an automobile at the price he paid
