RUMAN|ANS BUSY
 RIDING ON TRAINS Roof of Every Car Is Always
 Crowded With People Travelling
By Associated Press

 Bucharest Rumania. October 5.--lt "America feels that their subways, rail roads and trolley cars are crowded, conditions in Rumania and other parts of the Balkans are worse. Railroad traffic today in Rumania is so great that passengers ride on the roofs of every train by the hundreds. When the tops of the trains are so crowded that they can hold no more, the pas sengers cling to the running boards. ride on the bumpers and even on the underframework of the car. The faro is the same whether the passenger rides in a compartment or on the roof of the car. Accidents are frequent Often when & train has entered tun- mel a number of passengers have been swept off the roof to their death.
 The congested traffic is due to the small number of locomotives and coaches available and to insufficient trackage. Most of the country's rolling stock was carried off by the Ger mans or destroyed. Some of the loco motives and cars have been replaced hut the number is far from adequate A large American locomotive concern has contracted to send number Of en- zines here, taking in payment quan' tity of oil
 There are at present less than S,O0l locomotives in Rumania, including tn newly acquired provinces of Transyl yania and Bessarabia. About half thl' number are in order. Most of then are of German or Hungarian construc ton. There is such shortage of pas senger coaches that box ears often ar used for the conveyance of the public
 The total trackage in Greater Ru- mania is about 10,500 miles. This has to serve an area of nearly 300,0OO souare miles and 8 population of lS,- 900 900. Many of the steel rails are all most entirely worn out and the roae beds are in need of major repairs. Ru- manian railway officials say tha American railroad men and engineer' would do well to investigate business prospects in Rumania- Railroads mus be constructed and others double tracked The country will require enormous quantity of railroad supple to re-equip and reconstruct the linei that suffered during the war. Bridge also must be built, canals cut and har bors extended.

CHANGE IN BERkMN
Certain Elements Agitated for An Al.
 liance With England
By Associated Prsss

Berlin, October 12-Pan-German ete- ments are agitating for an economic al. liance with England as the only way in
 which Germany can regain her pre-waT
 commercial prestige The radical wing of the conservatives believe the Euro pean situation has made such union not only practicable but probable, and are urging that ancient hates be for gotten and an understanding reached be- tween the two nations. England, and not America, is considered the chief fac tor with which Germany must reckon in international and European commerce. Writers in the newspapers discuss at length the problem of allaying what they say is an unabating anti-German feeling among the English. s
 The Kreuz Zeitung. the old organ of the monarchists, says in an editorial: 'If we have in mind any foreign alliance. only England can be considered. l am fully aware that I will meet with the earnest opposition of many of my com rzldes when I suggest an alliance with England, which has done everything to destroy us. In spite of it, l hazard to recommend an alliance with England on
 the following grounds:
 Politics are not founded on synpa-
 thies That is the first lesson that the
 honest German should learn from his
 English cousin. We should possess
 enough cleverness to put sympathy out
 of our politics and as wise business
 people travel with the partner who can
 make the going profitable.
 And that England certainly can do. :

CONTRACT |S LET ID
 FINISH LYMAN DAM

The state loan board yesterday ac- cepted the bid of David K Udall of St. Johns of $151,300 for the comple ton of the construction of the Lyman dam. M. O. Paulson, w. W. Sherwood and Sanford Hunt, all of St Johns, are associated with UdalI, whose bid was 10 per cent less than the next highest bidder. The work will be started within the next ten days and the dam finished by December 31, according to the terms of the contract.
 The men to whom the contract was awarded propose to begin the con- struction work at once with a corps of 100 to 150 men. There is no cubic yards of material to be moved, but the dam will be completed on schedule time, it is promised.
 Up~to date, the dam has cost approx imately $20 per acre, or $300.000. The $25 per acre that is now levied is bit more than required, it is said, but is based on possible accidents The dam, which will irrigate some 15,000 acres in the St. Johns country, was washed out by flood waters when constructed a few years ago.
 Besides the Udal1 bid. bids were offered by R. E. Shea of Los Angeles, who estimated the cost at $16S,600 and Johnson and Parks of St. Johns, whose bid was s174,500.

GRAPE FRUIT FORMS
 BASIS FOR LAW SUIT

Thirteen hundred and sixty-one boxes of grapefruit formed the basis for the damage suit of J. B. Alexander, a rancher, living four miles out on the East McDowelI road, against the Ari- zona Orange association, which yester- day was heard in Judge Lyman's court. Mir. Alexander asks for a, judgment of s1361. He alleges that in the fall of 1917 he placed the grapefruit in the warehouse of the association, to be sold by it. The association, he says, allowed the fruit to rot without notify ing him there was no market for it.. Had he known of this fact, he says. he could have sold it on the streets of Phoenix for 10 cents box
 H. A. Severinghaus, managerlfor the association, said he was without a bookkeeper at the time and had kept no record of the fruit brought to them by Mir. Alexander. He admitted the fruit rotted without notice being given to MT. Alexander, but said most of the fruit was below grade. There was no market then for citrus fruit, due to a sugar shortage, MT. Severinghaus stated. and pointed out by the books of the association that 176 boxes of the fruit had been sold and credit of $15.43 given to MT. Alexander.
 The case was taken under advise ment by Judge Lyman.
