ARMORED MOTOR CARS.

Armored motor cars seem to have played an important part in the war, and some very dashing performances have been credited them. uing to their speed and weight they are decidedly difficult vehicles to stop, and the occupants are fairly well protected by the armor, and can do a good deal of damage. They are liable to be cut off especially on narrow roads, where the rapid turning oi one of these vehicles must constitute a difficulty. The Germans seem to have gone in largely for this class of war motor, and the French and Belgians have albo followed suit. But as far as we know the British were without this class of assistance until quite recently. Since the war began, however, quite a number of ordinary cars have been converted into armored vehicles, and fitted uitb quick-firing guns, especially RollsRoyce, Talbot and Wolseley cars. In these cases each of the vehicles carries two Maxim guns with a crew of eight, three men to each gun, and a couple of drivers who are esconsed behind the steel screen.
