PLAN NEW
 TRAFFIC WAY

Lubeck, Germany Oct 12-PIans for a new international traffic route which its promoters claim is destined to become one of the worlds great highways, are being worked out in detail by commission sitting here composed of Danish, German and Swedish experts.
 The proposal Is to establish a fast route between Abo, Finland, and the principal western European cap itals by constructing a railway bridge connecting the island of F7ehmarn Gin "He Baltic Sea) with the German mainland, enabling trains from Ham burg to run to the extreme end of the island. whence a ferry would trans port them bodily to the new Danish port of Rodby on Laaland. From that point a new direct railway would connect with Copenhagen.
 It is claimed that the journey from London CT Paris to Stockholm would thus be shortened by nine hours. The cost of the project is variously esti- mated at between S5,o0O,oOO and S10,00O,o00.
