AMERICAN CARS HARD HIT

LOndOn.-A correspondent who IS
thoroughly Conversant with the motor

munication 10 the Manchester Guard
ian with reference To the new reg
ulation prohibiting the importation
either Of motor cars or spare parts.
The regulation affects in practice
only American cars ard repair parts
Practically no new cars are 10 h"

American cars and az III" standard

the simplest for an amateur 10 work a

seems remarkable that not even I'm
tied import is permitted.
There are thousands Of American
cars In use I'm this country by doctors
and professional men. commercial trav-
olers military officers and others with
good reason for having car. Ap-
parcntly. under the new regulation, as
soon as these cars need repair they
will have to be laid up. since spare
parts cannot be imported. and 1t is
quite impossible to get spare parts
manufactured in this country at the
present time.

In the Cafe Stieber you can listen
for hours to such details as these. Do
not think the house Of Stieber is any
ordinary cafe. Its history is the his
tory OF Przemysl. Long before Pre-
mysl was first threatened this cafe
was the great proscenium Of the war.
The battle OF Lemberg. the battle Of
Grodek, and a hundred other battles,
fights and skirmishes took place wifi
in hearing. Almost the whole Austro-
Hungarian army passed the windows
OF the cafe on their way east TO fight
the Russians. And later, during the
first and second sieges, Cafe Stieber
was the center Of this town. No one
wanted to stay at home with his own
dismal thoughts, guests could not be
received. gas there was none, and pc
troleum must be used sparingly.
Occasionally a Newspaper.
The best thing to do, therefore, was
to stick your two Jumps OF sugar In
your pocket and grope through the
streets to Cafe Stieber. And then
there was always something to read
there. In the beginning there was
even from time to time a real news
paper brought by an aviator. Later
there was only the war bulletin. which
was slowly reduced from ordinary
white paper to the backs of paper
bags. and finally TO the backs of menu
cards.
Last of all there was only one copy,
and that was on view in the Cafe Site

Nor was tobacco any too plentiful
In February, 1915, $50 was offered for

offer was refused with contempt
