change that was operating IN his mind.
Mussolini passed from neutrality TO
intcrventionism.

emigration, a spiritual, a grayer and
profounder emigration.
In q fortnight he founded the "Po-

comrades. He also founded the "Fasci

grouped the men Of the Lefi Social

PARIS.
When these lines reach New York
dozen Frenehmen will be engaged in
one Of the most daring and sensational
enterprises Of modern times: they will
try with six motor cars, to cross the
immense ocean OF sand known on the
maps az the Sahara.
The Tribune has already spoken Of
this extraordinary attempt to its read
ers. but should like to present to
them him who is the soul OF it: Andre
Citroen the French Ford" And /
shall let him speak FOR himself;
81 have already wondered said MI.
Citroen to me, "why motor ears would
not be used as explorers. In fact, they
are The best explorers one can dream OF
IN the world Look AZ the map
Of North Africa. Between our northern
possessions. that is 10 say Algiers, and
our central possessions, namely the
Sudan. there is an immense vacancy,
five or siN times greater than the
Mediterranean it is the desert Of the
Sahara. The rail alone will be able to
conquer this ocean Of sand. But the
rail requires an exploring and liai8on
agent-the auto-car. Which suto-ear! {!
The ordinary automobile with It's four
wheels? No. Il is beaten beforehand
in IFS struggle against the moving sane
and the roeiy massive. A special auto
car is required. We believe We have
found il"
Description Of Automobile
And Andre Citroen gives me mi
mute description Of the auto.car with
which he intends crossing the desert
1t is an automobile whose back wheels
arc replaced by two rubber bands.
Thanks to these bands, which are ex-
tremely pliable, and thanks also TO an
appropriate mechanism which follows
an the movements Of the rubber band,
the motor car does not sink into the
sand, but follows all the sinuosities Of
the ground without any difficulty. It
can cross any kind OF sandy height,
ditch or rocky mountain.
Six Of these motor cars, each one
manned by two men, arc at this pres
cnt moment attempting what no human
locomotion has ever yet attempted.
Several days ago they left Tuggurt,
the extreme point whore the Algerian
Railroad stops. and they are going 10
try II reach Timbuktu. near the River
Niger. where civilized life begins
again. This is a distance OF about
1900 miles and there are no Standard
oil garages on the road And the sup
ply cars. although each ono is pro-
yided with enormous barrels Of oil,
cannot carry more than 1900 pints
each!

Citrocn TO me. "and that is why IL was
an interesting one. Difficult problems

20 organize a regular expedition. The

cial. industrial and scientific results.
But there is one result which Mr..
Citroen thinks Of especially and which
cannot fail TO interest the United
States in particular;
IF" said he. "the experiment be
successful in Africa there is no rea-
son why a similar trial should not be
successful in Asia. n we cross the
desert OF the Sahara without difficulty
there is no reason why motor cars Of
the same type should not cross the vast
plalns OF Mongolia and the soltudes Of
Tibet. n We oren up the road across

civilization penetrating not only into
the desert where no human being viii
ever live, but penetrating into the i'm
mense Chinese empire. where millions
and millions Of human beings. whom
We do not know and who do not know

And thus il is why the experience
attempted at this moment, by six small
motor ears Is deeply interesting After
All. Il interests the whole human race!
