Mansfield, writing In the April Issue of MoToR. the national Obviously magazine of motoring. France would not welcome tourists at the present time, even If our government would permit them to go abroad, which it will not. On the other hand, rehabilitation may come quicker than we dare hope at the moment and Mr. Mansfield think that it is none too early for the ambitious tourist to map out his itinerary. Many Circuits. Such an Itinerary M one may map today, continues our author, ln its choice of the high spots, is largely a matter of individual preference. There Are four possible appealing aspects-- -' the American circuit, the French cir cult, the British circuit and the Belgian circuit and a sort of grand, lour. as our grandfathers, used to call "lithe allied circuit. "A supplementary link follows the trail of the Pershing Push, after the armistice, through to Coblenz and Luxemburg on the Rhine,- - This Itinerary should become classic, for it was charted by the experts of the Amex force at G.

In any tour of this kind the Boulevard of Victory, from Switzerland to the sea. will play a predominating part.

Marne and A nine and Chateau Thierry and the Tardennots salient. These regions link up to the north with Artois and Picardy, where the British rebuilt roads as fast as the German artillery blew them to pieces. - i -- Ehren-breitste- ntj Horse Show May Revive Interest od ces ad ( i&d ! r out nel i ay. tbe mil ! i of , M i oeS InEquestrtans Eardley.J.
