The attitude Of London morning
papers in commenting on the Ameri-
can note, says an Associated Press
cable, is generally that although the
points raised in the note are all open
to argument, Great Britain's position
is that she is engaged in a life and
death struggle and therefore she is to
consider all questions on the practic-
able basis of winning the war; that
such a world war is bound to carry
some inconvenience to neutrals; but
that as far is Is possible and consistent
with doing everything in her power to
win the war she is careful to do as
little as possible to injure the interests
Of neutrals

Several Of the London newspapers
a few days ago published report that
Lord Kitchener had resigned from the
cabinet. The report was promptly de-
MED. Then came the story that Kitch-
ener was to relieve Sir John French
as COMMUNICATIVE chief Of the British
forces in France. That has been de-
MED also. Later 1t has been stated
that Lord Kitchener has gone to the
eastern front, in other words, to the
Balkans, and so far that report has
not been contradicted: but what is
really the truth about Kitchener it is
impossible to say.

Stone Sets Erie Air Brake.

r. II. Wallace, general passenger
agent of the Erie, described the Fries
"queerest accident" and it was the
first accident in which Mr.. Wallace
ever figured in his long service with
the road, and it was responsible for
bringing him to the city late for the
first time since the Erie cut was com
pleted six years ago.
The accident happened on the
Greenwood Lake division near Bloom
field. The train on which Mr. Wallace
rode leaves Montclair at a. m, and
arrives at Jersey City at S:19.
"The train was speeding along,
said Mr.. Wallace, "but suddenly there
was humping and we came to a
quick stop. | ran around to the en-
CINE and found the engineer under the
locomotive hammering away at some
thing
"Well, it was hard to believe, but a
rock had been lifted from the roadbed
and had struck the air pump under the
locomotive, smashing it badly. The
air pump controlled the air brakes, and
in a moment the whole brake system
was out of order. 1t was not conceiv.
able that a rock lifted from the road.
bed should have sufficient force to
make such dent in a pump, but it
did."-New York Times.

BUILD BRIDGE OVER CANOES
Engineers Have Finally Thrown Struc.
ture Across Turbulent River
of India.

The recent completion of the great
railroad bridge across the Gauges at
Sara marks a new epoch in the his
tory of the stream, which until now
has not been bridged by any structure
worthy the name The bridge took
six years to build and cost $15,000,00O.
1t consists of fifteen main spans and
six land spans, the total length being
about a mile and an eighth. It was
necessary to sink the foundations to
depth of 200 feet below high flood
level because the bed of the river
consists Of the finest sand, which is
carried down from the Himalayas An
obstacle such as sunken boat or tree
causes this fine sand to be disturbed
to as great a depth as fifty feet. An
other difficulty is the habit of the
Gauges to change its course rather
whimsically. The point at which the
river has been bridged is, so far as
could be ascertained from available
records, the one place at which these
deviations of the river have been at
minimum. The river is walled with
stone three-quarters of a mile up.
stream and one-quarter of a mile
downstream from the bridge.

RAILROADS BUY MORE CARS
Prospects Are That Much Money Ia
to Be Spent for Equipment at
Once.

1t would seem from the large mum
Der of railroad equipment orders be-
ing received by steel companies and
car building concerns that the buying
of equipment by railroads, long sus-
pended, is now in full swing. Recent
ly the railroads bought about sixty
five thousand tons more rails, and
steel companies of the Pittsburgh dis
trict report increased inquiries, with
good prospects of some large con-
tracts. Car buying is becoming more
pronounced daily, builders say. Near
ly every railroad in the country has
participated in the car-buying move
ment, and up to date the orders ag-
gregate many millions of dollars.
Conspicuous among the car orders
just reported are the following: Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, 700 box cars
and 200 tank cars; Union Pacific, $50
stock cars; Baltimore &, Ohio. 1000
box cars and 1000 hoppers; Illinois
Central, 1000 refrigerator cars; Phila-
delphia & Reading, 10 caches and IS
combination cars; United Coal COM
pany, 1000 repair cars; Spang, Chal-
FAINT & Co, 10 flat cars and S gon-
dolas; Grand Rapids & Indiana, G
coaches; Erie Railroad, 500 repair
cars; New York, Chicago e st. Louis,
200 repair cars; Chicago, Burlington
G Quincy, 1900 box cars and 300 stock
cars; Kansas City Electric Railway,
SO street cars; Vernon Coal and Coke
company, 100 mine cars; Mather
Stock Car company, 500 stock cars;
w S. Forbes & Co, tank cars; In
terborough Rapid Transit company,

ARE HAULED BY MOTOR
KANSAS RAILROAD PULLS CARS
WITHOUT LOCOMOTIVES.
Only Line in the Country so Operat
ins-Has Made Remarkable Rec
ord Since Its Inception in
the Early Eighties.

The only gasoline railroad line in
the country is in operation in Potta-
watomie county, Kansas. 1t is the
Westmoreland Interurban Railroad
company, the successor to the Kan
sas, Southern and Gulf, one of those
north and south railroad dreams of
the early eighties The Kansas char
ter board recently gave charter to
the new gasoline railroad, which can
not operate its line except by motor.
The motive power of the road is now
a secondhand motor car that hauls
small freight cars and passengers.
Many years ago the Kansas, South
ern and Gulf was incorporated to build
an air line from the big wheat fields
of the Dakotas to tidewater. Work
was started at the most central point
ON the line, at Blaine, Kan, in north
ern Pottawatomie county. Twelve
miles of road were completed, and
then no additional market could be
found for the bonds and the dream
