Railroad Export Will Add Many Years to tho Lifo £'% K- f\.-y of Steel Rail. V$ • . , , years of experimentation on ;the most efficient method of manufac- ^ ' steel rails has culminated in an 1 . .announcement by the New York Cen- -antral railroad of the perfection of a p» * ocess for the elimination of hidden |,r- .^defects In rails, which has been the ; chief fcause of the country's railroad v recks. The process, It is declared, L,*,' has solved a problem that has baffled ..-Vi 1 Vxperts since the railroad industry in the United States began. The man y!?V ^ "primarily responsible for the process / Ms Plimont Henry Dudley, consulting ^engineer of the road, who has,spent nearly half Of his life in what he mod­ estly termed "the labor of love." Mr. Dudley is seventy-two years old, and has contributed at leaBt' six important Inventions to the railroad industry. The flaws, or interior fissures, as they ; are called, never can be detected vlsl- sbly in a rail. It has only been by fol­ lowing specifications laid down by Mr. r "Dudley in the manufacture of the rail and then reheating the finished prod­ uct in a special, plant, that any hid­ den defects catt be removed. It is said that extensive experimentation with this process, has proved that this is a sure way of eliminating every pos- Mv - sible defect. According to recent fig- SpK'v/.jures broken rails caused 3.045 acd- 1%' 'dents In 1913, the death of 205 persons, jfnjuries to 7,341 persons and a loss of fe^iabout $4,000,000, Mr. Dudley's inven- ?

Recently a fleet of flve-and-one- half-ton trucks, hauling three five-ton trailers, ^operated in military convoy • fashion, made an overland run from ;New York to Hartford with 44 tons of partly finished ball bearings. The material had been received at New York by steamer from Sweden, „ and although urgently needed In Hart­ ford was being held in the custom­ house owing to the existing freight ^embargo along the Atlantic coast. The Heavy Haulage company of New York offered a quick solution of the problem by starting the truck train at 5:30 one night, and after a con­ tinuous run of 140 m^lea arrived at Hartford at 11 o'clock the following night.

FLIES TO GERMAN CHAN. \ i " ' ; -EUROPE READY FORPEACE" Only Obstacle That Stands in the Way of the General Electrification •f Railroads* It has been said that almost no public work lasts more than a genera­ tion without requiring hi some fashion to be reconstructed; practically, to be replaced. The Erie canal* lias\ been rebuilt once a generation, bigger. There is already talk of making the Panama canal a sea-level ditch, even before It Is really completed as a lock canal. The railroads are everlastingly in process of rebuilding. Ralls of 120 pounds to the yard have replaced those of CO; the big freight car of today would well- nigh carry a trainload of freight of the first decades of railroading. Now comes promise of the greatest revolution of all. The convention of Mftster Mechanics of American Rail­ ways expresses the serious view that universal electrification will take place soon. It would be in the end cheaper, safer, more rapid and efficient. Then why not? If there Is a real obstacle. It Is, to­ day, the difficulty of financing such a gigantic operation. It must be raised! from private Investors; it can only be raised If there is such confidence in the earning power of the roads, and iir the governmental attitude toward themv as will guarantee stable condi­ tions. One way to produce this confidence would be to unify and centralize, un­ der the national government, all the in­ strumentalities of governmental con- took--Washington Times. Inexperienced Driver*. The seemingly large number of auto­ mobile accidents which have occurred recently lead one to believe that there is either a great deal of carelessness on the part of drivers or else that the presence of too many inexperienced drivers has had something to do with It. A reckless driver is often less of a menace to traffic than a driver who, by reason of his inexperience, bus not perfect control of his car. How often we hear of cases In which pedestrians have been run down or collisions have occurred because a driver has become nervous and has forgotten "which lever to pull" under trying conditions, when a little more experience would have made it instinctive for him to do the right 'thing. The state now re­ quires an applicant for a driver's license- to have had at least one hun­ dred miles of actual driving experi­ ence before receiving license. v ^ Mileage and Driving. 45otWldera6le Increased tire thfleage may be obtained through the careful handling of a car. if the driver starts and stops his car with a jerk and tries to turn corners on two wheels the plan of the German bread cards, he may soon expect blowouts.

London, Oc$. 2.--All of Europe is "ready for peace," bufGermany wants "only a truce." This statement was made by Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war, t#ade and blockade, in answer to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hoilweg's speech at the opening of the German reichatag. "The chancellor's speech shows a considerable change in tone," declared the British minister to the correspond­ ent of the International News service. "That talk of a German victory has entirely vanished is remarkable. There was no word concerning Belgium. Asked if he considered the chancel­ lor's criticism of England more Intense than before, Lord Robert said: "It is an old trick to try to con­ vince our allies that we are bleeding them to death. The idea that England wants world supremacy is fantastic. The minister expressed the opinion that Germany has not stopped its sub­ marine campaign, but only slackened during July and August because they were hard hit. "Everybody is ready for peace," he concluded. "It depends upon what one calls peace. The Germans are not ready for peace; they only want a truce for a period of preparation for further world attacks. As long as they continue to be governed by the mili­ tary class, which is considered superi­ or to everyone else, there is no chance for peace."

The chancellor asserted that the harvest this year had made Germany's position much more secure than was the case last year.
