GREAT POWERS IN
ACTUAL WARFARE
War Without Severing Diplomatic Relations
France and Germany Believed to Be Trying
to Throw Responsibility Upon Each Other.

London.-Four great powers Of Eu-
p0pe-Austria-H Hungary, Russia, France
and Germany-are now engaged in
actual warfare, but two of them-Ger-
many and France-have not only not
declared war against each other, as
far as Is known here, but have not
sven severed diplomatic relations. This
Is despite the fact that Germany's
ultimatum to France has either been
ignored or rejected.
The explanation of this would APP
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus Of beginning the war.
In fact, while the nations Of Europe
are flying at one another's threats,
they vie with each other in protesting
their desire to maintain peace and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole Continent into
bloodshed.
France Last To Mobilize.
In this curious situation France,
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems to
have taken the greatest precautions
TO avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making formal declaration
Of war. has violated the neutrality of
Luxembourg and declines to give any
undertaking to respect Belgian neu-
lrality The efforts of the British Am
bassodar at Berlin to secure such an
undertaking have been wasted.
Hard For Britain To Keep Out.
II Is difficult to see how Great Britain
ean avoid being drawn into the con-
dict to protect Belgium and Dutch
neutrality, and on this point Premier
Asquith's official announcement in
Parliament is awaited with intense
anxiety, the British public being no
longer under any illusions as to the
gravity of the crises which transcends
anything In their experience.

LEAD IN POINT OF HEALTH
Statistics Show That Railroad Men.
as a Class. Are Remarkably
Free From Disease.

Railroad men are more healthful
than are men engaged IN almost any
other calling. according 10 statistics
compiled by the United States census
bureau, and compared with showings
from other countries by the bureau
or railway news and statistics.
Figures show that in the twenty
seven industries included in the In
vestigation by the census bureau.
there Is an average yearly death rate
of fifteen out of every 1000 men en-
p!oyed. The report shows that
among railroad men the death rate is
but ten yearly for every 1900 men
employed.
Most significant in the showing
made by railroad men is the scarcity
Of deaths due to bodily infirmities,

higher In number than in almost any
other employment. mortality due TO
tuberculosis. pneumonia, heart dis
ease and diseases OF the nervous sys,

in crib and trestle work on this ex-
tension. which is $500 feet long aud
cost about $4,000.
The line follows along a very steep
side bill in loose. sliding earth and
required a large amount Of retaining
wall construction. The heavy timber
growth was. therefore, utilized to good
advantage, and cribs and trestles were
built from cedar timber cut on the
right OF way or adjacent thereto. The
cribs were built up as the grading
and sleeper slopes it was found con
venient to terrace them in one or
more sections.
Several ~tresties were required at
ravine crossings. and in order to give

ground. The road is Of standard gauge
and was built on a uniform grade OF
5 per cent. compensated. with a maxi
mum curvature of 10 degrees.
The timber on one trestle totals
$4,000 feet board measure. Including
engineering supervision. the structure
cost $975.75. The AMOUNT Of timber
used in this trestle. if bought from the
mill as dimension lumber at the regu-
lar rate OF $50 per 1000 feet board
measure would have come to sl.18O.
while a probable addition cost OF S65c
for erecting would have brought the
total up to about twice the amount
actually expended on the structure.
The timber crib In another place
contains 1000 feet board measure,

per 1000 feet board measure. This
cost is considered somewhat higher
than the average on the work. due 10

this point.
In making a fill near the lower end
of the line a rough timber trestle GOO
feet in length. with an average height
Of IS feet and a maximum height OF
SO feet, was built at a cost of So per
foot. including ties and Sc pound rails.
This structure was only used until
the fill was graded for permanent
