ALL OF THE SAME OPINION.
What Foreigners Think of Our Great
Railway Systems.

what few foreigners have said of
American railways may be of interest:
III Hung Chang, the great viceroy of
China, said: Nowhere else in the
world are there such fast and luxuri-
Gus trains" as in America.
Marquis Tamagata, field marshal of
the Japanese empire, said: The speed.
the comfort, the luxury of your rail-
roads, is marvel to me-"
Prince Hilkoff, imperial minister of
railroads of Russia. said: There is
nothing in Europe to compare with
your railroads"
Sir Henry Truman Wood, special
representative of the British govern
ment to the worlds fair in 1898, said
that nowhere in Europe could there
be found such luxury in travel and
such excellent service as are given on
the railways of the United s ates"
Paul Leroy Beauleu. one of the
greatest economists of Europe, writes
THE continent of Europe, by the
bonds in which it has always held pri
vate enterprise, has been able to follow
only with tardy step the example of
the United States, which nation has
realized in its railroad system three
ideal conditions, rapidly, efficiency,
and good market. while Europe en-
veloped IN administrative Journalism
was destined to attain neither of these
three conditions"
