RUSSIAN R r. DOING BETTER

hOOD1AN n H. DOlNU BETTER
Washington.-There has been an
increase in the number of working
locomotives in Russian since last win
ter. The percentage Of disabled 10
comotives has declined from 64.4 per
cent of the total in February to 1914
per cent in August of the current
year, while the number Of unsound To-
comotives dropped from 1926 in Feb
ruary to 11,418 in August, according
to Soviet publications received by the
department of commerce.
The arrival of $40 new locomotives
from abroad has greatly strengthened
the working capacity of the railroads.
Whether this improvement will hold
during the coming winter is a matter
of conjecture. The cold weather, the
change from one kind of fuel to an
other and the use Of moist wood. dis
tant tranfers from one road to an
other and other conditions make the
situation very uncertain and may re-
suit in the exhaustion of the present
reserve of 1900 locomotives. Consid-
ering, however the number of new
locomotives yet to be received from
abroad, crisis should be averted pro-
vided the present rate Of repairing
700 to 800 engines per months
maintained.
