It is always in the next county that members of the L R. A. are “pinching” cars or that desperadoes are waylaying those who take to the -road. ‘When you reach the next county town you learn that, while there may have been a few automobiles stolen there, the practice has stopped. _“But, ah,” admonishes the garige man, wagging his head . earnestly, “you had better look sharp in X. ‘They're after them thers all right.” So on In X, and after a week of it you - get 80 you push on with a grin at the identic note in the warnings.

The provisional government is ready to appropriate £1,000,000 to proceed at once with road repairing. A large sum of money, in excess of £4,000,000, has piled up in the Irish highway depart- ment treasury in London during the last seven years, when no money has been spent on the roads, and this will be made available to theifree state, according to a tentative un- derstanding. Expect to Sell Many Cars. Men in the motor car business in Ireland,,and there are small dealers and garages in nearly every hamlet, anticipate a revival of their business. They expect to sell many cars this season, when and if the political pot has simmered down, and they are looking forward to & considerable motor hiring business when the stream. of tourists resumes—and every Irishman hopes to see his land overrun with visitors before many months.

But recently that was stopped by order of the brigade commandant and the cars thus held were to have been returned to there owners. Here and there drivers have been stopped at the point of rifies and com- pelled to give up their machines to bands who have driven off, leaving the cars occupants to make their way on foot to their destination.

Getting about the island in a car you see many souvenirs of “the twouble.” It is only a matter of weeks that the roads have been made passable and some of them still are in wretched condition. Before that there were great gashes known as trenches, in almost every bridge and culvert and at other convenient places. Dur- ing the fighting these were camou- flaged, the military cars fell into them and their occupants were rid- dled with'rifle and machine gun fire from republican forces concealed nearby in ambushes. Often along the winding roads you pass the shells of stone houses, burned by one side or the other, and occasionally the fire-shattered build- ings of an est: of police barracks in the villages and towns have scars left by the torch and machine guns. It is no uncommon thing to pass a fleet of armored cars and lorries filled with members of the Royal Irish Con- stabulary, racing past from their sta- tion to a demobilizing point. They go like the wind and heaven pity the donkey that doesn’t turn out his cart with expedition: But with all the reports of -stolen cars and the signs of the bitter fight- ing that went off so short a time ago, and in spite of the absence of really competent authority in Ireland, the country districts are extraordinarily | il { quiet. The political division has, of | |i course, divided the Irish army, par- ticularly in the south, in countfes Tip- perary, Cork and Kerry, ahd the crown forces that still remain are making no attempt to enforce the laws. Yet there is little violence; life and property are reasonably safe, and the people on the roadside and in the villages are for the most part friendly. Repair Dangerous Roads. In some districts parties of work- men are busy on the roads, which need considerable attention after seven years of neglect, and in most of central and eastern Ireland the high- ways are reasonably smooth. They are In many parts quite narrow and always crooked. If there were much motor travel they would be extremely dangerous on those accounts.
