RUSSIAN ROADS
(Ry Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Sept. 1. — John F. Ste
vens and his associates on the Ameri
can railway commission how visiting
fttissla for the purpose of assisting the
administration of the Russian rail
ways in Increasing their efficiency,
have discovered many ways in which
transportation may lie speeded up
on all Kuslan lines without nddltioun!
equipment.
The commission has advised the
United States government to supply
Russia with. 2,500 more locomotives,
and to,out) more freight cars ns soon
as possible. However, it will be con
siderable time before this rolling stock
can be manufactured and shipped to
Russia. The shortage of bottoms on
both thq Atlantic and the I'aclfic will
delay the delivery of the new rolling
stock and additional shops must bo
erected at Vladivostok before such
great quantities of locomotives and
cars can be put together speedily.
Meantime Russia must make the
most of Its available rolling stock and
locomotive power, and the American
engineers are busily engaged assist
ing the Russian railway officials in
a study of the immediate problems.
The Russian roadbeds are in excel
lent condition. Virtually all the lines
were well built originally, and the
tracks have been kept up, chiefly
through the work of peasant women
In spite of the shortage of labor ere
ated by the heavy draft the war has
made upon the male -population.
After traveling the full length of the
Translberian line and inspecting many
of the important lines in central and
southern European Rusja, the Ameri
can engineers have found that Russian
railway men are working at great dis
advantage in not having up-to-date
equipment for coaling, watering and
cleaning locomotives.

TOAST TO LOVE.
Here’s to Ix)ve—God’s best Rift to
man!
Its joys all have sought since the
world began.
We grasp It In bliss—lo, it’s misery
instead,
Rut we'd not forego it—we'd rather
be dead!
It puts us in heaven, it drives uu to
hell—
For its bliss we'd die—our souls glad
ly sell!
rt tortures us—galls us—glads the
heart thro'—
It builds homes and palaces—shatters
them, too!
So here’s to I^ove's joys, and here’s
to its woes.
And here’s to its victim—god knows,
he knows!

MINING IE It TO

I I
NEW YORK. Kept. 1. — Plans for
the fifteenth meeting of the Amerlran
Institute of Mining Engineers, which
Include an Inspection of Ihe coni re
sources of Illinois, the zinc and other
mining operations of Missouri, and the '
oil fields of Oklahoma were made pub
lic today. The meeting will be held
during the week of October 8 to 13.
On account of the war the meeting
will assume something of a patriotic
character. Methods will be discussed
for conserving the present supply and j
and Increasing the output of the conn- !
try’s minerals, which will prove of I
tremendous value In winning the war. I
It had been thought at one time that
Hie meeting of the Institute might be
postponed In the national emergency,
but the leading engineers are of the
opinion that a conference of the min
ing men at this time on subjects re
lated to the war will he of extraordin
ary value. Recent conventions of the
sister technical societies have been of
great Importance and have attracted
record attendances.
The American Institute of Mining
Engineers now numbers more than G.
000 numbers In every part of ihe
country and In many parts of the
world representatives will be present
of all the principal American mining
centers.
