British Board of Trade Journal: A
new type of locomotive has been EN-.
ployed on the Notwithstanding sec
ton of the Main Trunk railway of
New Zealand during the last three
months. The first of the class was con
structed at the government workshops
at Dunedin for service in the Canter-
bury Plains some two months ago.
When tried over the level country be-
tween Christchurch and Oamaru, the
new engine gave such excellent results
that it was decided to try t over the
sharply graded section between Oam
aru and Dunedin, and there again it
satisfied all tests. Four of the new
engines were sent to North Island
some months ago and have been EN-
ployed on the Wellington-Taihope sec
ton with good results. 1t appears that
this engine can travel further than the
compound engine without taking in
water, and that it has greater hauling
capacity.

OFFICIAL NOTE
Believed that Germany Will Try
to Make President Enter
Discussion

Washington. Oct. 20.-So many con-
flieting reports about the German re-
ply have come out Of adjoining neu-
t. II countries during the past few
days, that officials here are disposed
to believe nothing until they receive
official text or get it from an unques-
toned official source.
They think, however. there is some
truth in the reports that the answer
was held Up at the last moment.
Every report received indicates that
Germany will attempt to make The
world believe it has. taken long step
toward meeting President Wilson
conditions. and it is believed here that
Germany Will try TO make it difficult
for the President to avoid further ex-
changes.
Competent spokesmen for the gov
ernment reiterate that there will be no
drawn-out series of exchanges. IL
Germany seeks to talk without sub
mission. the President is expected to
refuse TO continue the discussion.
