Fawrr hralzemen are killed, tint not fewer engineers and rlremeu. More radical reineflies and greater restrictions are obviously needed i-clore American and Canafllan railway travel urn be made even approximately as safe as it is in Britain or Europe.

Acci- dents are more fr- qlierit in the U..ited States than in any other civilized country 1 even in ptcpxrtion to its enormous mliv age and the millions of people carried in ‘ ' after the United States comes Canada. At. least. we see it so stated In the public led in recent yerrrn. The Government itrilways are, we bt-lieve the safest. in the Ihmlcion, and our l.~.ir»rd Railway relatively aa .~if¢ as aoy, but yet even the I Interccfonial has not been free from serious wrecks and fatalities that were clearly preventible and ought not to Ortuuditiri cars :ind train service are modelled on the Aruerifrtn rather llirrtr t‘ic, - Blillsh or European plan.

It seems app rlling that this world trag- edy must go on,hut there is,at the press' t 1 r-t me no proeprct of intervention, or of voluntary peeee~m lking between the hr-iligareuts. Russia cannot yield with- ou 1 humiliation under her lung succersloa ' of defeats. Japan must prosecute the war, so long as victory l-J on her side.
