BERLIN. December 26.-The prob
lem of smokeless railroad trafnc,
which has been troubling large cities
all over the world, may have been
solved by the invention of a new
Russian railroad commission here and
Prof Meinecke of the Charlottenhurs
Technical High School. The new en-
gine will have no smokestack. and
will look more like an ordinary bag
gage car than a locomotive.
Prof Lomonosov saws his invention
will make it possible to build rail-
vast stretches where there is nc
water.
1T took me sixteen years to com
plete this invention" Prof. Lomono-
SOW said today. Just before the war
began the czarist government placed
me to make tho necessary expert
ments. but these were interfered with
by the great conflict. Henry Ford. in
the United States. and others in Eng
land are trying to build new motor
for use in countries short of coal
or water, bul, so Tar as L Know. they
have not succeeded. Prof. Meineke
and I have finally solved this problem
and already two Diesel engines are
being built according to our design.
They will be finished and tried out
early next year. and the first new
locomotive will be used on the Ger
man and Russian railroads about next
August"
The contract for the exploitation
of this invention was signed Decem-
Der Ia by the Russian government and
