Victory for Auto Owners

After fighting for 15 years against the admission of automobiles to the island. Nantucket voted recently in favor of motor vehicles The contest was one of the lvelest the town had had in many years. The final vote was s3e in favor and 296 against. The mat ter came up on the question of accept ing an act of the legislature, repeating an act of 1914 forbidding the opera tion of motor vehicles. The election was of more than local interest. for considerable part of the opposition to automobiles had come from the large summer colony that goes there from many parts of the country.

 With a population of 13O, O,O0n. 1r- 1utsk is the most famous inland city Of Siberia. It is the capital of the government or province Of the same name and is situated on the right hank of the Angara, q broad. swift flowing river which is one of the prin- cipal outlets of the great Baikal lake. whose southwestern shores are only fl miles cast Of the city. This is the deepest lake in the world (6,500 feet in some plaCes), and. with the eXcep- ton of our own Great Lakes and Vic toria Nyanza and Tanganyilla in Afri- ca, is the largest body of fresh water on the globe.
 'Irl1utsk is on the Siberian railway, a little more than five days journey east of Moscow in peace times.
 "The city was founded in 1852 as a post for the collection of fur taxes from the Buriats. Its streets are well paved and it is lighted with electri- I1ty' LII 10 J u was NlS1L6tl ny d tilS- astrous fire which destroyed many of it's most pretenituos public building.

Op- posite the residence of the governor general is the museum of the Inpcr- ial Russian Geographical society, con taning a valuable archaeological col lection from East Siberia as well as Buddhistic objects of rare interest.
 "One of the peculiar customs which the traveller encountered at Irkutsk before the WAT was the closing of the railway ticket office for the sale of tickets two days prior to the depart ure of a train. He could never de- eide to take trip to Petrograd (3,792 miles), to Moscow (3,3St milesl, or to Vladivostock (2.0OS miles) on the spur of the moment.
 Under the old regime Trkutsk was the headquarters of the Third Siberian Army Corps. "

were about to start when the burgo-
master himself came running out. He
ordered us to leave the car there and
said he wound direct us where to 20.
He insisted that we go on foot, but l
could not understand when he tried
to explain why.
We soon saw the probable reason
for the burgomaster's refusal to ride
in the car. All around for about q
mile the roads were heavily mined and
small red flags on iron slaves were
stuck between the cobblestones, As
warnings not to put in much time
around those places. Also. there were
notices stuck up all around warning
people of the mines and fOrbidding
heavy carts to pass. When we got
on the road I breathed again!
After great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination and
made our report to the local command
ant We told him all we could and In
turn received various information
from him. We were then taken over
to the hotel Here we read few
Paris newspapers. that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
had dinner. and fine dinner It was,
too.
After we lind eaten all we could, and
wished for more room In the hold, we
went out into the garden and yarned
while with some gendarmes, and
then went to bed. We had big room
on the third floor front. We had just
turned In, and were all set for a good
nights rest, when there was an explO-
sion Of different kind from any
had heard before. and we and the bed
rocked about, like a canoe in the wake
Of stern.wheeler.
There were seven more explosions,
and then they stopped. though we
could hear the rattle of machine gun
ut some distance sway. Bartel said It
must be the forts, and after some argu-
ment agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an ad-
vance under cover If bOmbardment.
and that as soon as the forts got into
action the Germans breezed. We were
not worried much, so we did not get
out Of bed.
A few minutes later we heard foot
steps on the roof, and then a woman
in a window across the street, asking
a gendarme whether 1t was safe to 60
back to bed. Then got up and took
look into the street. There were lot
Of people standing around talking. but
1t was not interesting enough to keep
tired man up, 10 back into the hay
1t seemed about the middle Of the
night when Bartel called me. but he
said 1t was time to get out and get tc
work. We found he had made q pool

CHAPTER VII.
On Runner ssrvies.

On Runner Service.
One night a man named Bartel and
I were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to 60 to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to q man
whom will call the burEomaster and
report to the branch star headquar-
tiers that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel In an automobile and keep a
sharp watch a. we went. for Dixmude
was being contested hotly at that time
and German patrols were In the neigh
borhood. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
SO We started out from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one Of
ou0 outposts stopped US. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, % It was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after q bit Of arguing. Just
a. we were leaving q message came
over the phone from our commander.
telling them to hold ~ when we came.
1t was lucky they stopped N, for 9TH
erwise we would have been out Of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone, that II q French nag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; II a
Belgian. that our forces were either
In control a. were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. After this We started
again.
When we had passed the last post
We kept sharp lookout for the nag
on the pole Of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings-
mud perhaps, II It should be German
nag, q timely warning. But after we
were down the road bit and had got
clear We saw Belgian nag whipping
around in q good. strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place It also indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not 20 cheerful.
Az We went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge Of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out Of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
Just M quickly. but we could not get
an answer. Finally We got hold Of
u man who came out from q little
cafe.
He told az that the Germans had
been through the town and Ind shot
It up considerably. killing and wound.
Ing few Inhabitants, hut TINT shortly

B0chcs out. The Germans were ex.
Iscted either 10 return or begin bonn

inhabitants who spOrted ccllnrs were

to get out Of town with their belong.
ings m best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vile. where
we were admitted and after =. short
walt taken 10 the burgofnaster. We
questioned him ~ 10 news, for We had
