What the Federal Motor Lorry has done in War
80 per cent of Federals served the Allied Governments and five departments of the United States Service, and the remaining 20 per cent, was devoted to essential industrias.
Federal Lorries are now available for distribution to any part of the world. For dependability under the worst possible conditions of road and load, for speed" and for economy in operating, the Federal has proved itself unrivalled.

"In the days before the war, when I MARIE
I was a wild tribesman in the hills I had
a blood feud with one Raz Qul of my tribe a long story, Sahib, and too long
to tell you now; but it had come to this TEMPEST
that Raz Gul and his two brothers wanted to kill me while I could have no peace in those hills while they remained there alive. All four of us had good rifles, but cartridges ware scarce and difficult to procure. How many they had I cannot tell; I had only five, just five,
They waited for me in a ravine one early morning; but I had been warned, and got on to somo high ground over looking the ravine. My ride, spoke once and only two of the three got home. A month later another attempt was made and this time they were more successful, the bullet hit me in the thigh, but I fell be hind a rock and pretended I was dead. Then they showed themselves for a mo ment, and I fired twice One shot missed, bat the other got the younger of the two in the forehead and only Raz' Cat went hope that day.
The loss of his two brothers made him very cautions, and at one time 1 thought that he had left our hills but later I learnt through a woman that he was still at his home and waiting his oppor tunity. So I, too, waited and watched, and also I laid a trap. I began to boar openly in the village that I had won the day and had now nothing to fear. As the full moon came on I made a great show: of sleeping ont on the roof of my house as is our custom in the hot season but is reality it was a sack, filled with straw that lay by nights on my string bed, while I watched from under cover of a project- ing wall. On the fourth night ho crept on to a neighbouring roof, and a second or two after his shot had hit the sacks, my zille spoke twice, and at the second shot he crumpled up quite dead, with a ballet through his heart. After that Fenlisted as I thought his cousins might tako up the feud and I had no more cartridges, They had done good work those fire; and then to think of all the borak and, bores of ammunition we had gone through every day. Now do you wonder. I am sad. Sahib 1-Pioneer.

rism has its sequel in a two-column article in the Echo de Paris, showing how he will came to write his book. He had lived in Tunisia and Algeria from 1832 to 1907, and his imagination had lepyy fired by sombre stories of the Touareg. In parti- cular, he was impressed by a mission in Central Africa by two French explorers, of whom only one returned witbent know ing exactly how his companien had perish- ed. This story, says M. Pierre-Benoit, was the basis of *| Atlantide." In January, 1918, he resolved to write a novel, and chose the unexplored région of Hoggar as the scene. Then he goes, on to tell of numerous books he consulted. In the following month he had drawn up the scheme of his novel, which he began to write in June. At this time" he saya, "I had other preoccupations than that of being accused of plagiarism one day, The German armies were making their fiercest onslaughts. On Sunday, June 14th, when the attack was launched against Gouraud, I wrote my eleven chapter. The big cannon began to boom. Devilries are beginning, I wrote.

He declares that all the notes and sketches which served to build up his novel are in his possession, and that he is ready to place them at the disposal of an umpire whom Gir H. Rider Haggard has chosen, namely, the French Academy
In the Action Francaise M. Leon Daudet takes up the cudgels in defence of M. Benoit Writing with his customary acerbity, ba saya ho did not know that Bin H. Rider Haggard was so young Ha thinks the author of "She must be young to have brought a charge of plagia rism against M.
