K.O. FOR BANDITS.
4000-MILE MOTOR DBIVE. BAGDAD, October 4. Mr. James Williams, a Welshman, employed in the Egyptian Education Department, motored from London in a seven horse-power Austin via Vienna, Constantinople, Alexandretta, and Bevrout. The only unusual incident in the 4000mile journey was being held up by three Turkish brigands in Asia Minor. They endeavoured to steal a spade with which he frequently dug the car out of sand and mud. Mr. Williams laid out two with a right and left, and then got a half-Nel-son on to the other, and recovered the spade. He completed tlio brign-' I ".' discomfiture by rebuking them. Mr. Williams is returning through Jen.-a lem, recrossing 500 miles of the Syrian desert.
