LOCOMOTIVES NEEDED
FOR TRANSPORTATION
Railway Administration Regards
Them Now More Essential
Than Freighters.

In the light of experience with
transportation difficulties during the
winter of 19l7-1S, chiefs of the
United States Railroad Administra-
tion consider that additional locomo-
tives are more necessary now than
additional freight cars.
Discussing the decision recently an
nounced to build 100000 new cars for
American railroads during the pres
ent year, railroad administration Of
flcials say the number was fixed only
after every locomotive that existing
facilities could turn out during the
next year had been ordered.
Not Caused by Car Shortage.
'It was not a shortage of cars that
brought about congestion in the
past" it is said at the railroad ad-
ministration. "In fact. so many cars
got jammed up in terminals that they
nearly blocked transportation. The
shortage was in motive power. So in
considering the matter this year,
when the war industries board fixed
the amount of steel which it would
allot to railroad use. we assigned to
the engine shops every pound that
there was a reasonable chance of
Ketting into g. new locomotive this
year.
After that, an estimate of the
amount of steel available was made,
and as many cars as can come out of
it were ordered. That happened to be
100000. They are of a composite steel
and wood design, adopted because 1t
will get more cars out of the steel
supply. Only the event itself will
show, but we consider that the con-
struction ordered will be sufficient to
meet the strains, though all of our
calculations are based upon an in
creased traffic burden for railroads
next year"

Paris.-The Echo de Paris, referring
to the distribution of enemy forces
on the different fronts says;
ION the Franco British front there
have been for several months past 1872
German divisions, of which 81 were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re-
cent British offensive at Cambria, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 154 divisions on the
Franco-B British front, each comprising
about $3.50 bayonets, and including
artillery, engineers, etc, or about r.
600 men in all, thus giving about q
100000 German combatants on the
FraEco-British front.
"In view of the uncertainty of what
Russian anarchy has in store for them,
the Germans have left about million
men on the Russo-Roumania front. AS
a matter Of fact, the movements eff
fected have resulted not in a diminu-
ton of the number of fighting units
on this front, but in their quality.
ION the Italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance of the As Aus
trian divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100000 men.
"On the Balkan front she has sent
only 10000 combatants to re-einforce
the Turks and Bulgarians. In Asia
Germany has restricted her help to
general staffs.
consequently Germany, whose total
is 100000 men, has on the
various fronts $4,000 men, the re-
being required for guarding
the Swiss and Dutch frontiers and for
