German vs.. American Railways.

Berlin.-Privy Councillors NJ. Hon
and F. Schwabach. whom the Prussian
government sent TO the United States
in 1904 to study American railway sys-
TENS, have just published an exhaus-
tive work, making many striking com
PARSONS of the American and Prussian
railroads. often to the disadvantage OF
the former. They quote official statis-
tics showing that per million passen-
gers carried the American roads killed
six time and wounded twenty ynine
times as many of them as the Prussian
roads.
The writer's found that the average
passenger rate in America was 2.02
cents per mile. against 0.9S cents in
Prussia, while freight rates nominally
average 0-7S cents per ton per mile in
the United States, against l.3G cents in
Prussia
The original cost of construction of
the Prussian lines was siXty-three per
cent. higher per mile than that OF the
American roads.
II conditions were eQualized, Herren
Hoff and Schwabach figure, that the
American average for freight would be
LA cents per ton per mile and that Of
Prussia 0.95.

This was done and Secrest lost
