ments. The roads throughout Italy are
generally good; in fact, some Of the
main roads are very good, though al
ways apt to be dusty in hot weather,
and the grades Of some Of the mountain
roads are very steep.
There is good garage service and
satisfactory hotel accommodation in all
of the principal towns.
At the present time the use of gaso-
line is restricted and rationed. One
report states that the quantity allowed
by the authorities is limited to fifteen
gallons month for a 15-horsepower
car. Another report advises as fol-
lows:
"Of course, some gasoline may be pro-
cured here and there on the route, al
though restricted and in a sense ra-
toned, yet you know how it happens--a
few cans may always be found by pay
ing little over the market price, and
believe that arrangements can be made
to have some consigned to other cities
where a party would need it,"
From the same source comes informa-
tion that tourists from abroad are al
lowed to import for their use sixty
cases of gasoline. These cases are sup
posed to contain two five-gallon tins.
The duty on gasoline (sbenzine'D is
4O.40 lire a 100 kilogs. on the gross
weight; that is, the liquid, tins and
cases inclusive. Such a quantity should
be sufficient for an ordinary touring
car to travel about 5000 miles 10000
kilometers). The difficulty in connec-
ton with gasoline is that it is not
allowed to be carried on passenger
ships.
Found Motoring "Impossible"
Until general conditions in Italy be-
come more settled, it may be said that
ordinary motor touring is not to be
recommended. A cable recently re-
ceived from a member who had shipped
an automobile to Naples, with the view
of driving north through the country,
reads as follows:
"Found motoring in Italy impossible.
Have shipped car on to Marseilles."
state that motoring conditions are prac-
tically normal. Road surface through
out the country is generally very good,
although some of the grades are severe.
The supply of gasoline is said to be
adequate. Hotel accommodation is ex-
cellcnt, though at the principal re-
sorts the leading hotels are extremely
crowded.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.-Condi-
tlons are reported to be normal in both
countries. Gasoline is plentiful and,
except in that part Of Belgium that
has suffered from the effects of the
war hotel accomm odation is of good
quality and fairly ample. With the ex-
ceptioh of few of the main roads, the
surface throughout Belgium is poor,
but in Holland the level, brick-paved
highways offer very satisfactory sur
face.
SPAIN.-Main roads in Spain are re-

Certain Sections Bad
In the central and southern parts Of
France, recent reports state, the sur
face of the main roads, especially
those from Paris to the Riviera and
from Paris to Biarritz, is extremely.
poor in certain sections. The gasoline
also is quite unsatisfactory
anywhere away from. the main routes.
A report from a member of the .Au-
tonfobile Club of America, received
from Nice, gives the following details
regarding gasoline:
Sometimes for a week there will be
none on sale, and when you can buy
it the price is very high, from IL to Is
francs bidon Il Is gallons), so there
is very little motoring. / am told by
the few motoring in cars that similar
conditions exist all over the country,
except in the immediate vicinity of
Paris. have been here for two months,
and from my observations would not
advise any one to come here with the
intention of touring the country in a
motor or, for that matter, any other
way"
The Royal Automobile Club Of Eng
land is arranging for It's agents at
the ports in France and on the Riviera
to supply small quantities of gasoline to
members, as otherwise they might find
themselves stranded and unable to pro-
ceed on their journey.
Import Permits Required
ITALY-Oficial regulations require
that before an automobile can be i'm
ported into Italy an import permit must
be obtained from the Ministry of
Finance in Rome. The Foreign Depart
ment of the Automobile Club of Amer
lea is informed that cars are OCCASION
ally landed without this permit having
been obtained, but such proceeding is
not in accordance with official require

ported to be fairly good; those in the
north, in the neighborhood of Sar
Sebastian and the Asturias, and the
main trunk routes leading to Madrid
and to Cadiz, provide the best surface
conditions. Gasoline is plentiful, though
very expensive.
PORTUGAL.-Info is fur
nished by the Consul General to Portu-
gal that at the present time automobiles
are not admitted into the country for
touring purposes.
Conditions Unsatisfactory
ANY.-Although there is a GER
tain amount of motoring possible In
Germany, touring by automobile is not
yet practicable. Before an automobile
may be imported into Germany beyond
the occupied territories it is necessary
to secure a document known as Aus
fuhr und Einfuhrbewilligung export
and import permit) from the Reich
Commissar fir Aus-und- d-Einfuhrbewilli-
gung, Lubzowfer, 6-8 Berlin. For the
occupied territories it is reported that
a German triptyque (Passerschein) and
an international driving license (certif-
cat international de route) are required
as in pre-war times, but the customs
regulations formerly in force at the
frontiers Tor touring purposes 90 not
appear to have been resumed. From
reports received by the Foreign Depart
ment Of the Automobile Club of America
from the Royal Automobile Club of Hol-
land and the Automobile Club of
France, some of whose members re-
Gently attempted. to tour in Germany,
conditions were so unsatisfactory as
regards supplies of gasoline, tires and
hotel accommoda ton that, to all intents
and purposes, it was found that motor
ing was not practical possibility at
that time.
AUSTR1A.--Reports on motoring in
this country are neager A number of
automobiles are constantly crossing the
frontier from Italy, but anything like
motor touring in Austria is out of the
question owing to the extreme shortage
of supplies of all kinds and the exorbi-
tant prices charged.
SCANDINAVIA.-A reports from
Denmark, Norway and Sweden agree
that motoring conditions in these coun-
tries are practically normal, the road
surface being very fair and gasoline
plentiful, though much more expensive
than in pre-war days.

Ban on Truck Cut-outs Asked

r. At a recent meeting the members
of the motor truck industry adopted
a resolution recommending that muf-
tier cut-outs on motor trucks be ellmi-
mated. inasmuch as they are objection
able to the public and it is no longer
necessary to utilize them for \the
proper operation of motor trucks
few years ago similar action was
taken for passenger cars, with the
result that to-day nearly all such cars
are built without cut-outs.
