ARMORED CARS IN THRILLING DASH

terrogated, but none knew Biz Hakim
except man who said he had fed a
flock there 80 years ago. Subsequently
another man, who had been the pris-
oners' guard. was discovered. and the
duke asked permission to attempt a
rescue. Every man in the batteries
sat up all night and next day tuning
up the machines. The batteries were
REINFORCED by light cars carrying the
guns and all the motor ambulanceo
within travelling range of Sollum were
brought in.
There were gathered at the old Turk
ish fort on the ridge above Sollum nine
armored Rolls-Royce cars, five touring
cars with guns, light cars-forty-two
motors altogether
At three o'clock in the morning the
column moved out of the fort.
When the column got so miles on
the Tobrunk road the cars turned on
the desert due south. After Is miles
rough-and-tumble over desperately
rough ground the party began to feel
uncertain of success. The two Arab
guides were arguing as to whether
they were on the right track; the man
who had not seen Biz Hakim since his
boyhood thought they were wrong.
The other Arab would not say much.
The desert was now very stony. A
hundred miles went by and then 105.
Still there was not the faintest sigu of
the Tara prisoners camp. Between
ITO and 115 miles nobody spoke, and
the silence suggested fears of failure.
A mile farther on the Arab became
animated on seeing a sort of small
mountain.
A halt was called at two o'clock and
the duke sent forward the armored
cars to attack. They raced up to with
in 200 yards of the mound.
The prisoners were standing silhou-
cited against the skyline, dumb with
amazement at the appearance of the
strange throbbing fleet.
At last one threw off the sack cover
ing him and family cheered, aud the
crowd staggered forward in the rolling
gait of starved men and swarmed
round the cars, crying: Are we tree?"
They could not be persuaded to leave
the cars and slightly hindered the Brit
ish advance to tackle the guards, all
of whom were subsequently killed.
The remainder of the column started
q tremendous race to the spot They
ran abroad, caring not for obstacles or
nlIucfures and the air was filled with
the cheers of the crews and the noise
the exhausts.
The prisoners condition was des.
perate. A heap Of white shells showed
that snails had been their staple diet.
Occasionally they had had goat flesh.
but the amount served out was re
duced to the size of a skinned mouse
one prisoner said. Parties had gore on,
daily to find edible roots.

Rescue Men of the Wrecked Ship
Tara in Desert Prison
Camp.
FEAT STANDS AS A CLASSIC
Duke of Westminster Heads Train OF
Motors in Dash of Over 100 Miles
-Throbbing Fleet Causes Sem
sation in the Desert.
BY w. T. MASSEY.

Suez, Egypt have just heard the
details of the armored car fleets dash
to the rescue of the men of the
wrecked ship Tara. 1t will stand as a
classic liz motoring annals.
When General Lurkin reoccupied
Sollum in western Egypt he found
that the Arabs had burned the camp.
Ten armored cars came upon a re-
markable road which, starting in the
desert, runs to Tobrunk, 80 miles away
in Tripoli. Over it the motors had a
speed of 35 miles an hour.
At Aziza, the cars suddenly came
upon the Arabs and dashed into a
Turkish mountain gun and two ma
chine guns, killing every gunner by
Maxim fire. Then, without halt, they
charged in line over the powders, stiff
scrub, sandy patches. The charge con-
tinued for seven miles.
Three field guns, nine machine guns,
hundreds of rifles, spare parts. dyna-
mite, travelling workshops aud quar-
ter of million rounds of rifle ammu-
milton were captured.
Some of the camels, hit by machine
gun fire, blew to pieces as if struck by
a high explosive, or burst into flames.
1t was found that the Arabs had
loaded them with bombs and petrol.
The duke of Westminster was in
formed that letter had been picked
up from Capt. Gwatkin Williams to
Nuri Day, complaining that the Tara
prisoners were starving and i'll and
suggesting that medical comforts
should be procured at Sollum. The
letter mentioned Biz Hakim as the
place of the prisoners detention.

Gus sniper with clean teeth
This was sharp blow at the sub
altern. but it was precisely as our chief
suggested. The old farmer fought like
tiger, and the three men were rolling
over and over on the ground before
he could be safely tied. He was a
powerful young man and a search re-
vealed a belt of cartridges and two
automatic pistols of German make.
Later in the day we found a little
dugout in a ditch with a rifle hidden
away in a screen of bushwood. There
is only one end for men Of this kind
and he got it,
Everybody's Doing It.
Don't think that the sniping is con-

who are very clever, particularly the
Canadian chaps. One such is a full

One German sniper recently was
giving lot of trouble. Officers with
glasses tried in vain to locate him.

saying word to anyone fired at big

He evidently thought he was going TO

day when he began his work we were

We caught another sniper in curl

regiment was stationed about eight
hundred yards from the German
trench and, like all others, we suffered
much for want of water. Half mile
in the rear ran a small stream and the
men used to steal out at night for wa

sniped.

"A number of our men had been
killed or wounded in this manner and
it was agreed that the sniping came
from somewhere behind our lines. A
close days search revealed nothing.
The c. o. was getting savage and his
attitude obviously demanded that he
must do something special for the
benefit of the undiscovered sniper.

came that we were to make q great

DAIRYING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
flourishing condition and is bound in
a very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it lot of
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is Low sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used 1t, is quick to APP
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for 1t that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS a matter of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential. and In tims II is bound to
become one Of the finest cheese eoun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta. used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese. and that is great thing for
the industry. especially when com.
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof
table.
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol
lowing table will be illuminating. II

initial cost of the land and the small

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
In the province to sell carload of
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$1112K per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canadas cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure of success
as anyone can be.-Adyertisement.
