Steaming powerfully into the sta

Spouse of huge pistons, 1G long, low
1872 locomotives, "Grayhounds of
Travel" soon will share in the South

vice, passing through San Antonio to

long, no-change runs, these locomo.
tives are being built in the Southern
Pacific shops. During the last two
years, % have been placed in passen'

tear through the S53-mile run, taking
% hours, without being changed.
Tourist travel on this trans United
States division, from New Orleans tC
Los Angeles, will be hurtled through

an even swifter speed.
According to local Southern Pacific
officials, the 1872 nomenclature is de
rived from the wheels. There are
four pilot wheels, eight drivers, ant
two back wheels.
1T is a far cry from the first SIP
locomotive, the Coils P. Hungting
ton, which was in its day considered
marvel of power, to the As.
giants" they say.
"And as for the first locomotive
the one run by George Stephenson
why there is no comparison. That was
a tub on wheels, Steam locomotior
certainly has progressed"
At a recent world convention o.
railroad men, held in London, thu
latest styles in these giants wer,
shown. The George Stephenson loco
motive, grandfather of the new mon
steifs, was also run, horseman riding
beside it waving a red flag to warr
pedestrians off the tracks, just in tn

DOUBT CLOUDS
BULGARIA FATE
Effort to Discover Real
Condition of Country
Hindered
(By The Associated Presso

LONDON, April % - Information
reaching London regarding the troubles
in Bulgaria is of such character as to
preclude satisfactory estimate of the
situation. VIA
The censorship established under the
state of martial law apparently is pre-
venting Independent observers there
from recording Implications and there
are no means of checking up on the
rumors emanating from such doubtful
centers as Vienna and Belgrade which
are sending out reports of massacres,
wholesale executions and fighting, with
enormous numbers of casualties.
These stories are denied by the Bull
garian government, and the situation so
far as news here goes is one of repeated
assertions and contradictions.
The London newspapers mostly accept
the view that the Bulgarian government
is engaged in quelling a desperate COM
munist rebellion, initiated and fostered
from Moscow.
The British government is unofficiallv
reported to favor Bulgaria's request to
the allied council of ambassadors for
permission to increase her army by 10,-
600 men, and the Daily Telegraph saws
decision in accordance with Bulgaria's
wishes will be taken today.
