The train was then loaded on two
specially designed fiat cars, drawn by
the famous high-speed locomotive 500,
which in 1893 made the run between
Rochester and Buffalo at the rate or
112.5 miles an hour, a record when
still stands. A modern private car at
the rear completed the train.
Crowds flocked to see the train all
along the thousand miles. The public
demand was so great that ten days
were taken up on the trip.
The Dewitt Clinton locomotive.
named for the seventh governor of
New York, was built for the Mohawk
& Hudson railroad by the West Point
foundry, New York city, in 1881. 1t
drew it's first passengers August .. Ii
made regular trips between Albany
and Schenectady, a distance OF seven
teen miles. The Mohawk & Hudson
was the original unit of the New YORK
Central system, which now aggregates
COTS miles. The cars were built on
the lines of stage coaches. The inside
and outside seats of each coach accom-
modated from 10 to Is persons. A con-
tract awarded to James Goold of AL
bany for the construction of SIX
coaches provided that each coach was
TO be built and mounted on the rail-
road company's carriage frame for
$40. A single steel day coach at
present prices costs $4,000. The rails
were of wood, with strap-iron string
ers nailed to them The train made
from Il to 80 miles an hour. The fuel
was wood.
The Dewitt Clinton, as first built,
weighed only 6,T5S pounds, but as re-
modelled weighs 9,420 pounds. The
weight of its tender is $40 pounds
and each coach weighs 1920 pounds,
making the total weight of the train
25,020 pounds.
The standard Pacific type locomo-
tive, used to haul the New York Gen.
trails fast passenger trains, weighs
$4,000 pounds, and its loaded tender
15S,0OO pounds, making the weight of
the engine and tender 434,00 pounds,
little more than 1715 times the
weight of the whole Dewitt Clinton
train.
The Dewitt Clinton engine is II feet
10 inches long; the length of the ten
der is 10 feet IL inches, and each coach
is IA feet long, making the length of
the train 65 feet 8 inches. The length
of a Pacific type locomotive, including
its tender, is IS feet 2ss inches. or II
feet 5ss inches more than the length
of the Dewitt Clinton train. The
latest type steel passenger coach meas
ures 70 feet.
From such insignificant beginnings
has grown Americas world preemi-
nence in railroading In less than one
hundred years.

of them are very large, operating from
5000 to 10000 miles. The class A
railroads operate 233, 145 miles. They
have capital stock of about $4,000
100000, funded debts of about SILL
50O,OOO,000, property investments of
about ,25O000,0OO and annual oper-
ating revenues of about S5,OOO,00Q 900.
They have more than 100000 en-
ployees, whose compensation totals
more than S2,6O6,0O0OO0 year. They
have about $4,000 locomotives, $4,000
passenger cars and 2,350,0000 freight
cars. They transport more than $780,
100000 tons of freight a year.
Moreover, few public questions have
played greater role in American poll
tics in the last 20 years than the regu-
lation, either state or federal, of the
railroads. And perhaps they have
never been a bigger question than
right now. AS everyone knows, the
railroads went under the operation and
control of the federal government dur
ing the World war; wages of employees
were increased; freight and passenger
rates were increased. The railroads
were returned to their owners March
l, 1920. The governments loss in the
operation of the railroads while under
federal control was over S900,OOO 900.
May /, 1920, the railroad labor board
granted wage increases to about 1,S0O.-
600 employees, aggregating $600,000,-
600. August 81, 1920, the Interstate
commerce commission granted to the
railroads increases in freight and pas
senger rates to enable them to meet
the increased cost of operation caused
by the war, to rehabilitate and expand
the equipment and to meet the adj
vance in wages granted by the railroad
labor board. Nineteen hundred twen-
ty-one saw the public demanding lower
freight rates and the railroads and
their employees considering the reduc-
ton of wages.
No wonder, then, that the historic
Dewitt Clinton train of 1881 is dou-
ble object lesson in American rail-
roads. 1t dates back to the railroad be-
ginnings of this country-and of the
world. Crowds go to see it whenever
opportunity offers. A recent trip from
New York to Chicago was a sort of
railroad royal progress.

liquid in form, is applied on a pellet
of cotton to the gum or mucous MEM

minutes, and eliminates all feeling for
from one to six hours. DR.. Klein has

TRIBUTE TO DEAD
German Writes of American Gem
etery in France.
Spot Where More Than 1,400 of the
Bravest of Our Land Are Buried,
Is Field Of White.

Paul Block, Paris correspondent of
the Berliner Tageblatt, was recently a
sympathetic observer of the destruc-
tion wrought by his countrymen in
northern France, and sent to his pa
per a detailed report of his trip
through the devastated region. OF q
certain point in his journey he writes :
The guide relates Ia a matter-of-
fact way that of the 131 villages which
he covers in his trip some eighty have
been utterly destroyed. This part of
the journey, from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to Boureuilles, has all been wrecked
by the war, but the worst came after
we reached Varennes. From there to
Verdun it is a desert-over which the
horsemen of the Apocalypse have
swept.
At only one point is there any EVIL
dence of restoration, and this has be-
come one of the sights of the region.
| mean the American cemetery at
Romagne below Mcntfaucon. When
ever the Americans take anything up
they do it in wholesale way. Al
though we had come solely to see
ruins, we could not pass this Gene
terry without a visit. 1t is the only
one of it's kind.
On a gently rising hill purchased
outright for this purpose are buried
the p 400 Americans, who fell during
the fighting around Montfaucon. Some
kilometers before we reached this
point we noted little white signboards
along the road directing us to this
relatives of the fallen cross the sea
in order to visit the last resting place
of those dear to them.
But when you come within half a
mile of the point you need no further
guidance. An apparently limitless
field of white suddenly greets the Wis
ion in the distance. This is the effect
Of the 1,400 tombstones of equal size
shining in the sunlight There are
crosses for protestants and Catholics,
and stars for Jews, ranged closely side
by side, at the heads of 81 400 uni
form, well-kept graves. They all lie
there, the officers in the middle. A
great star of foliage plants separates
the world of the dead from the world
of the living. High above the graves
fiutters the Stars and Stripes Sad,
indeed, as is the thought that a whole
army of vigorous young boys here
slumber In death, this cemetery has
nothing gloomy about it. 1t is bright
and cheerful burial place.
And the army of the dead has its
commander An American officer and
his staff reside in the group of tidy
houses opposite the entrance, to guard
the resting place of their dead coun-
trymen. One of them came forward
and greeted us, cheerful, young man
with a wholesome rudy countenance.
What had induced him to exile himself
here in this solitude? High pay? A
sense of duty? Love for Francel
The last suggestion is not very plaus-
ible, for he does not know single
word of French. In any case, his
nerves must be sound, else he could
rot live here day after day, hour after
hour, guarding these 81, 400 graves
without going mad.
