During last summer a motor service ran hourly between Thera-pia and Constantinople' and on several occasions during the train strikes special services have been started in the town which have met with con

siderable success. It was announced early in the year that a society bad been founded in Anatolia by local merchants for the establishment of a motor lorry service between Adalia and Afion-Karahisser. The Angora Government subscribed half the capital. This service functioned irregularly, but is understood to have met with a certain amount of success.
