ELECTRIC ENGINES
GROW IN NUMBERS

The United States operates more
electric locomotives over greater
electrified track mileage than all the
other countries in the world combined
according to figures compiled by W.
y. Potter and s. r. Dodd. engineers OF
the General Electric company.
This announcement will be made in
the form OF a paper to be published in
the proceedings Of the Western Rail-
way club, together with some inter-
esting statistics. summarized as fol-
lows.
The approximate railway route
mileage OF the world is:
United States 1855. .2s5,21S
EUROPE Ilt 900
Rest Of the world. 100000
The 265.000 miles in the United
States represents about 100000 miles
of single track or a total mileage in
GLIDING trolley systems of approx
mately 100000 miles. (This would
represent a single railroad track
stretched eighteen times around the
worldly.
In considering heavy electrical
tion." say Messrs Potter and Dodd, III

are devoted strictly to motor car serv-
ice and include those tracks both

LUCK STICKS TO THE
GOOD SHIP G0LOSHElL

London, June 3-The eternal luck
of the little old American steamer
G'oldsheii, which was the first to
fiaunt defiance into the face OF the
extension of German submarine war
fare, in February 1917. by sailing
from an American port, still holds.
The Goldshell It is reported from
Liverpool, was in collision Sunday
night with the British steamer Pala-
gonier somewhere in the Irish sea
and escaped unscratched. The Pala-
gonier was damaged. her bow being
badly damned. but she Is making for
Queenstown.
The cause OF the collision IL not
yet known. The Goldshell was bound
from Philadelphia to Gothenburg, the
Palagonier from Baltimore to
Antwerpt.
Once all America knew the name OF
the 6oldshell. That was when the
German government ruled that il
America vessels entered the subma-
rine zone they would have to be
painted like a BARRIERS pole. red and
white. But Captain Rousel took his
smutty little tramp from Wilmington
straight into the teeth OF the U-boat
zone and raced to Bordeaux, where
he and his craft were received by

in the United States approximately
SIS electric locomotives operating
over 1915 miles Of route or $500 miles
Of electrified track.
Compared with this. In all the rest
of the world there are about $50 cleo
trio locomotives operating over only
900 miles of route or 1,750 miles OF
track. That is. the percentage OF
electrified route mileage in the United
much as the percentage in all other
countries combined.
In order to present a figure showing
the economy of electric operation, Pot
ter and Dodd, taking the reports Of
revenue traffic for 1914. including the
estimated tonnage OF cars and loco
motives, find that the railway traffic
for that year amounted to 100000

amounted to about IL per cent
1t is also stated that 1.-THE actual

mage fof one trillion ton miles,. was

900 tons. They state that this same
tonnage could have been moved with
electric locomotives by an expendi-
ture OF 1000. 900 tons of fuel-a saving
of 100 100000 tons a year"
And furthermore that the annual
electric power necessary would be
$4,000. 100000 kilowatts, Continuing
they say:

PLAN TO ENFORCE
 PRO. LEGISLATION

Washington, May 21.--Notwith- standing President Wilson's recon mendation for repeal of wartime pro hibition insofar as it relates to wines and beers, the opinion seemed to gain ground at the capitol today that all repeal measures would be kept in committee until after July 1st.
 In the meantime, however, prohibi- tion leaders planned to enact the leg islation, which failed at the last ses- sion, for enforcement of the war time prohibition act and the constitutional amendment Senator Sheppard, democrat of Texas, author of the war time act, said today he was confident enforcement legislation would be pass ed before July 1st.
 There was no disposition on the part of the majority leaders, it was said, to hasten consideration of a repeal measure, nor were they impressed with the argument that it might be well to test out the saloon system from which hard liquors are to be eli minated when the whole country is to become dry by constitutional amend ment next year.
 The only apparent move was by prohibition leaders who were outspok- en in their opposition to the presi- dents recommendation, regardless of party lines. They let it be known that they would oppose any substitute li- quor bill, and would make every effort to prevent favorable committee action on any measure which would delay national prohibition.
