Baden company for the st. Moritz-
Tirano line of the Bernina Railroad in
Switzerland. This article states.

"The purchaser called for locomotive
capable of starting 110-ton train on the
most severe grades of this line and of
maintaining a speed of 11.2 miles an hour
on these grades. Moreover, the weight per
axle was limited to 8.6 tons (17200 pounds).
The length Of the line is % miles, l6A
miles having an average grade OF Z per
cent, as we'll as numerous curves with
minimum radius of 1S1 feet Power is
drawn from an overhead contact line at
760 volts, direct current
"The motors on this locomotive are de-
signed for use as generators on the down
brakes and providing rheostatic braking for
the engines. The locomotive and cars are
also fitted with Hardy vacuum brakes.
"1t was first attempted to use two motors
of $40 horsepower each for this service, but
this was found undesirable, as in winter it
is necessary to use this locomotive as q
snowplough and to operate it at very low
speed. The original plan was therefore
changed, and four motors of 1856 horsepower
each were substituted to provide the de-
sired low speed with all motors in series.
The maximum speed of the train on level
track is 81 miles an hour.
"The details Of construction are shown in
the general views, Figures 1 and 2. The
central portion carries the track brakes,
and is so arranged that it is always pulled
by the leading motor truck, but is never
pushed by the following truck. 1t carries
eight magnets capable Of exerting a total
vertical force of 45,76o pounds. This sys-
TEN of brakng the heavy engine on this
road has proved very satisfactory, and de-
spite the exceptionally trying conditions
during Che last winter. not single accident
has occurred.
"The motors are mounted in pairs on each
truck. Each motor is geared to an inter
mediate shaft through gears with spring
mounted rims to absorb the shocks at start
ing. The power is transmitted to the
driving wheels by means Of connecting rods.
"The locomotive, completely equipped
with snowplough and all necessary equip
ment and tools, weighs 4686 tons, Of which
28.16 tons is the weight of the mechani-
cal parts and 1877 tons that Of tho cleo
trical equipment. In the middle Of the To-
comotive, between the two equipment Sec
tions, is freight compartment Of 8.S tons
capacity, giving maximum weight for
traction of 60l6 tons.

and vegetables when once cooked, unlike
Western bread and biscuit, must be eaten
at once. Therefore it is very important
that the Japanese should learn how to turn
their rice into bread so as to avoid the
necessity of frequent cooking"
Next there is the question of clothes.
Of course, he admits
"our mode of dress is highly admired by
some foreigners, and held to be particularly

The New Draft Registration.

WASHINGTON, May %. A statement
bv Sec. Baker giving the estimate and
outlining plans for the draft, given out
Tuesday, reads:
s'Probably three-quarters of million
men will be added to the American army
in the making by the registration OF June
5th next of boys who have reached the
age of 81 since June 5th, 1917; or who will
be 81 on or before June 5th. 1918. This
estimate was made Tuesday by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, who will d.
rect the registration.
"Gen. Crowder's estimate was based
on the fact that almost 10, OOO, OOO regis
tered last year. This number included
all between 81 and 81. Statistics col
lected by Gen. Crowder's office show that
a little more than 10 per cent of these
men were more than 81 years old. On
this basis it is estimated that this year S
registration will exceed one million. Of
this number, Gen. Crowder estimates that
three-quarters, or about 100000, will be
available for military service. This
makes proper allowance for physical de-
feCts, exemptions because of dependents
and others.
"Under President Wilson's proclama-
ton all male persons, citizens or aliens,
must register. The only persons excepted
are officers and enlisted men of the regu-
lar army, navy and marine corps and the
National Guard and naval militia, and
officers of the officers reserve corps and
enlisted men in the enlisted reserve corps
while in active service.
"Gen. Crowder plans to have the local
boards keep their offices open for regis,
tration between a. m. and g p. m. on
June s. Between these hours all men
born between June l, 1896, and June g,
1897, must register These men are sub
ject to the provisions of the selective ser
vice act under which the original regis
tration was held"
Registration is to be made in Belfast
and it is reported that registration is
authorized in Thorndike and Stockton
Springs This is done to accommodate
registrants. 1t Is expected that one or
two other registration branch offices will
be designated in Waldo County
Male persons, whether citizens or not,
are required to register. Exemptions un-
der the original act, including men already
in the military service, apply, and to
these the new law adds ministerial and
medical students now pursuing their
studies.
The Presidents proclamation gives no
tice to all persons subject to it in the
states and the District of Columbia to
appear for registration on June 5th, be-
tween the hours of 7 a. m. and p. m.
1t has been estimated that about 8OO,
600 men fit for active military service
will be made available to the army by
the next registration. Hereafter it is
planned to have registrations oftener thar
one year, probably quarterly.

RUSSIA'S REDEMPTION OUR
SAFETY.

We are fighting for mankind, of course,
but specifically we are fighting for that
part of mankind which is comprised with
in the borders of the United States. We
are fighting to preserve its independence
and it's institutions. And we know that
neither the independence nor the institu-
lions will last long if the great predatory
power of modern times is permitted to
extend its sway from the Baltic Sea to
the Pacific Ocean. That is what will fol-
low, as the night the day, if we are so
foolish as to abandon Russia to her mercy.
1t makes no difference in this respect
! whether Russia is brave or cowardly,
| whether she has abandoned us or stood
| by US, whether she is ruled by saints or
madmen. The present German empire,
comparatively circumscribed in extent
and strength, has assailed and sought to
overpower the rest of the world. If she
is made virtually limitless in extent and
strength, as she would be if European
and Asiatic Russia were absorbed by her,
she will be able in the future to accom-
plish with ease the overthrow of the rest
of the world; and the first blow she will
aim in that event will be at the American
Continent. 1t is our own fault if we let
i her make herself irresistible. If we do,
we will be her first victims And if we
let her have her way with Russia, ire
sistible she will be within ten years.

Mauser Rifle Story a Myth.

Germany's reported importation and
storage in this country of Mauser rifles
nd ammunition was declared myth by
Deputy State Attorney General Becker at
the conclusion of his inquiry into rumors
of the existence of these munitions. He
expressed the opinion that the stories,
which federal investigation agencies have
been attempting to run to earth for more
than two years, were an outgrowth OF
the German plot to foment revolt against
British rule in India.
