Railroad Trains which Have Become Mar
wells of speed.
By far the most important element in the
comfort OF the traveller is the rate Of contin-
uous speed attained by railroad train. The
high rate OF the accommodation train does
not Offset the worry and fret OF the contin-

shows, surpssses rs both in the number
and speed Of their fast trains, but Germany,
though only q little behind, can hardly
claim any superiority over this country in

The palm for speed in this country Is
closely c0ntssted By the two composites per
