Tne Mail Stage in the
Southwest

ssTT IS, of course, motor-driven in
Il this mechanical age, and lacks the
peculiar dash and picturesqueness of the
four and six horse vehicles of otfe-
days." writes Charles Francis Saunders
in Travel" of the modern Southwestern
mail stage.
Nevertheless, much of the charm that
enveloped Western stage travel then cings
to the modern auto-stage. There is the
same immersion in glorious, Wild scenery:
the same thrill of excitement as you spin
down mountain grades and around curves
with a canyon yawning hungrily besiDe yoa
the same exhilaration OF association with
fellow passengers Of types foreign to Broad
way or La Sale Street; many times there
IS the same driver, who, surrendering the
ribbon for steering wheel, has not at all
changed his nature. The seat beside him
is still the premium place. and if he takes
fancy to you, he will exude information
anecdote and picturesque fiction as freely
as spring its refreshing waters. To travel
bit by stage, when occasion offers, gives
a flavor to your Southwestern outing that
you Will be sorry to have missed. Be-
sides, it sometimes saves you the neces-
sty of a long, roundabout trip as we'll as
much expense"

ing her hold on Turkestan. In the present
chaos the status of Turkestan is doubtful,
but it is more than likely that this region
not only will split definitely from its nse-
cure incorporation with Russia, but will
fall a prey to German and Turkish amir
ton. Comparatively small railway enter
prise would be necessary to extend THIS
ready made route into the heart OF Dotn
Persia and Afghanistan, to end in thrust
at the rich empire lying to the south of the
HimaIayas.
From Baku there is direct rail connec-
ton with Southern Russia, which now lies
in German hands. Only small section of
road skirting the southern shore of the
Caspian would be necessary to link Ham
burg by an all-rai road to stored Samar-
kand. Northeast from that point lies 81
IBERIA; eastward, across the Altai range,
lies Western China; southeast lies India
The situation is an ardent encouragement
Of Germanys most sGnguine eastward-look-
ing ambition.
Among the comparatively minor COM
mercial advantages for Germany would be
control of the great oil fields whose product
finds market through the ports Of Baku
and Batoum'
