MOTORING FEAT
TRA VE L LING V XDF.R DIFFICULTY
(Australian, Press Association.)
RUGBY, May 21.
The War Office report records a fine performance by British motor vehicles in Southern Sudan between January IS (when a convoy of four military vehicles left Cairo) and April Kith., when a journey of 5,000 miles was completed. Only a negligible proportion of thus mileage was over made roads. Trackless desert and hilly ground represented 1.050 miles; very heavy sand 400 miles; and hard gravel or Bandy .soil 1280. Throughout there were only five punctures, and no accidents occurred. The report says the War ■Office is definitely satisfied that British car and lorr.v manufacturers are now producing vehicles eminently suitable for imperial and colonial employment.
