SAYS BRITISH RAILWAY
MEN ACT Like YANKEES
American Manager of the Great
Eastern Tells of His Part in
Mobilization of Army.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Newcastle, Pa. Aug. 2-George D.
Blair, of this city, has just received a
letter from Henry W. Thornton, the
American brought over last winter to
show the English how to run the Great
Eastern Railway. Mr.. Thornton is now
engaged in assisting the British govern
ment to expedite the shipment of troops.
He writes:
1T is a wonderful but terrible expe.
rience for me, terrible not that we are
in danger personally. but because II is
pathetic to see the chap you dined gayly
with last night pick up his rife. kiss
his family good-by and calmly join his
colors.
"AI England has risen as one man.
The internal discords which threatened to
disturb the empire have completely evap-
Grated and the Irish will lose no OPP
portunity to be in the thick Of the fray.
Nearly every able-bodied EnElishman
has enlisted. They come from all quar-
tiers and classes and quietly and grimly
go about the business of war. There
is something deadly in the atmosphere
which looks as bad for the Kaiser as IL
did for Napoleon 100 years ago. This
will be a fight to the finish and the i'm
preston is that England will not rest
until the military power Of Germany has
forever ceased to be a menace to the
peace Of the world.
The railways of England have been
taken over by the government, but are
operated by the existing stan. An execu-
tive committee Of general managers acts
as a medium between the war ofice and
the roads and issues the necessary in
structions for movements. We have
worked out all Of our mobilization sched-
ules and are now in the thick Of the NOV
ing Of troops. We are doing our job
on the Great Eastern splendidly. and I
am proud OF my gang. They are up on
their toes and act like a bunch Of
Yankees"

LONDON ACCIDENTS INCREASE.
County Council Mt Wits End to
Make City streets safe.


STer7al Cable IN The Washington Herald
London. Aug. 2.-During recent years
street accidents in London have grown
to such an alarming extent that the coun-
~ council Is at its wits end to devise
some means of protecting the pedestrian.
The fatal accidents to two American
travellers in the West End last season
resulted in the provision Of special
refugees at all dangerous crossings. but
even this safeguard has not reduced the
ever-growing list.
Evidently in despair. the council has
placed at different points in the metrop-
oils a dozen motor ambulances. and q
systematic appeal is being made to Sc
cure the cooperation with the police Of
400 telephone subscribers in all parts Of
the town. The subscribers are pledged
to permit any uniformed policeman to
enter their houses and use the telephone
for the purpose OF calling the auto ambu-
lance. On the gates or doors OF these
houses the council will place a metal
square with the letter "a" in the center.
indicating to the police where a tele-
phone is at their disposal.

Washington, D. C,-Edgar B. Mer-

termination one Of the most perSls'
tent rights for conservation ever car
ried on in the Indian office. AS a re-
suit, instead of an irrigation dam site
being turned over to a railroad com

basis Of an irrigation project Which
will bring under water tract oil land
estimated as worth $22,5OOOOO. MI
Merritt carried on his fight single

In 1910 the Southern Pacific Rail

granted the possibilities of the now
assured irrigation project would nave

In the course Of unwinding Official

that a dam site was not feasible Two

hold the case up until the matter could
be put up TO the House committee on

SINGLE YEARS OUTPUT OF
BEARINGS 300 MILES LONG

If the 1914 output of the Hyatt Roller
Bearing company plant, at Newark, n.
J., were to pass a given point rolling
at a rate of IL miles an hour, each
bearing an inch apart, it would take
three days and three nights for the
procession to go by.
1t will take over quarter of a mill
lion square feet Of machinery to pro-
duce enough bearings to supply the
manufacturing world, for over $780,
600 bearings viii be made in the mann
moth Newark plants Of the company
in 1914.
Twelve thousand bearings a day is
the standard that will have to be MAIN
tanned to fill the demand of automo-
bile manufacturers for bearings. This
means that every hour of a tenhour
day at the plants will have to show
1900 flexible bearings ready for ship
ment. Getting it down to seconds there
will have to be 20 bearings produced
every second the plant is open. !
The endless train of roller bearings
formed by the 1914 output rolling by
a given point at II miles an hour
would, if locked together extend from
Detroit to New York. Eight hundred
miles of bearings is what is represented
by this years production standards.

factory solution Of the depreciation
problem. It is easy, however. to base
ones calculations on a mileage well
within the capacity OF a car. and thus
arrive at a figure which allows good
margin for safety. 1t is certain that
a soundly built vehicle by a maker of
good repute viii retain all its essential
qualities for distance of at least &c.
900 miles If handled in a proper man
ner and overhauled and repaired from
time to time. II that figure be taken
as a basis for depreciation, the rest
is easy, as the amount to be written
off annually will depend precisely on
the distance covered In the IL months
Depreciation, in fact, can by this
method be reduced to SO many cents
per mile, like tires, lubricants or gaso-
line, and we believe that this Is the
fairest way nowadays of calculating
that much debated item of running
costs Depreciation should be regard
ed as an item mainly dependent on
wear and tear, and not merely on the
lapse of time, and the motorist who is
content to keep a car in use until II
ceases to render him satisfactory serv-
ice can safely abandon the old system
of writing off a fixed percentage an
nually and calculate his depreciation
by mileage alone.

DEPREC|ATIONOF
CARS HARD THING
TO FIGURE OUT
Often Proves Hard Task for
Owner of Automobile
One Misleading Method
Employed.

The car owner who keeps record OF
his motoring expenses is often puzzled
ito know what amount should be writ
ten off every year for depreciation,
says writer in Country Life. The
question is one which has vexed the
minds of motorists ever since the be-
ginning of automobilism. and still
forms the subject OF many discus
sion. Some enthusiasts who write to
the papers to say how little their cars
cost them to run calmly ignore the
item of depreciation altogether Others
more businesslike, write off about
rs per cent of the first cost of the car.
Somewhere between these two ex-
tremes is to be found the truth, al
though it is not easy to arrive at
really satisfactory solution of the diff
Guilty.
The practice of writing off annually
O large percentage of the initial outlay
took it's rise in the early days of mo-
toring, when progress in design was
very rapid and the model of one sea-
son became out of date on the appear
ance of its successor. At that time an
interval of 10 months would often see
q reduction of as much as 80 per cent,
or even 40 per cent in the market
value of a car. Experiences such as
these gave rise to the belief that cars
deprecated very rapidly in value and
1t was sometimes said that by the
time a new machine was delivered at
the purchasers door it was only worth
two-thirds of what he paid for it. as
1t had by then acquired the second
hand status. To such an extent was
the idea carried that a coach builder
at the national show a few years ago
declined to fold back the hood of a
landaulet, on the ground that 1t would
make the body second hand.
Judged by Condition
Nowadays. the yearly model system
OF output has been abandoned by a
large number of makers, and the sec
ond-han value of any car of fairly
recent date is judged more by its con-
dition and far less by it's age AT any
rate, the practice of writing off year
by year fixed percentage for depre-
citation, regardless of other considera-
tons. is certainly misleading and I'M
fair to the reputation of the motor We
hicle for durability. Any calculation
of the sort which ignores mileage
argues that it is immaterial for the
purpose of arriving at depreciation
whether a car covers 5000 miles or 20,
600 miles a year, which is obviously
