From that point to Jome would add about 150 miles, ompleting a journey approximately h,750 miles long. He would not risk hn opinion regarding the possible ost of freighting copper ore over the froute outlined. A second route, 800 miles long was traced via Baffin [Bay. This way led between Victoria fand and the Dominion of Canada, through Dease Strait, across Queen [Maud sca, through the Victoria and [Franklin Straits into Peel Sound, and from there through Barrow Strait into Bafiin Bay. From Bafin Bay the route led down the east coast of MLabrador to a point like St. John's, Newfoundland. Dr. Reeds spoke highly of the scien- value the detailed survey of coast line made from the Cape Parry Peninsular to Stapviton Bay by H. G. Chipman, the chief topo- grapher of the party and J. J.

The story, which gained wide circulation, had it that Von Kluck, now entirely recovered from the wound he received in the early days of the war on the west front, was to be placed between Gen- eral Von Bothmer in eastern Galicia and General Von Linsingen in Volhy- nia.

BROKEN RAILS WILL BE THING OF PAST a Process Found for Elimination of Defects in Manufacture ew York, Aug. 18.—Forty years of most manufacturing st night method rails culmins announcement of ed in an York Cen- werfection of a pro- rination of hidden d fects in rails, which has been the chief cause of the country’s railroad wrecks. The process, it was declared, has of | solvea a problem that has baffled ex- perts since the railroad the United States began. The man primarily responsible for the process is Plimmon Henry Dud- ley, consulting engineer of the New York Central lines, who has spent nearly half of his life in what he mod- estly termed “the labor of love” in his forty vears research. Mr. Dudley is seventy-two vears old, and has con- tributed at least six important inven- tions to the railroad industry. G. W. Kittredge, chief engineer for the New York Central, explained Dr. Dudley’s invention to a reporter last night. The flaws, or interior fissures, as they are called, can never be vis- ibly detected in the rail. It has only been by following specifications laid down by Mr. Dudley in the manufac- ture of the rail and then reheating the finished product in a special plant at- tached to the rolling mills that any hidden defects can be removed. Extensive experimentation with this proces Mr. Kittredge said, has proven bevond all question *that this is a sure way of eliminating every pos- sible defect in steel rails, and it has been found that the process is a pos- itive remedy. Manufacturers will be told of the new process, and ways and means will be discussed for putting the method into general use.” Mr. Dudley would have nothing to say last night about his invention ex- cept that he will be glad to make it known to the world. Among his as- soclates in the New York Central of- fices he is familiarly known as “Dr.” Dudley. Hig first important post was chief engineer of the clty of Akron, Ohio, after which he became chief engineer for the Valley railroad, and later act- ed as chief consulting engineer for the New York Central system, a post Which he has held for many years. In a specially fitted car which Mr. Dudley calls his laboratory home, he has pursued research work. This car has heen the home of the engineer and his wife for more than thirty-three vears 1t is divided into compart- ments with sleeping rooms, sitting room, a kitchen and a well equipped laboratory. Sometimes he “parks” the car outside the Grand Central station. All the employees of the company know it as “Dr. Dudley’s car.” According to recent figures broken rails caused 3,045 accidents in 1915, the death of 205 persons, injuries to 7,341 and a loss of nearly $4,000,000 Dudley’s invention, so far as it has been applled on the New York Central lines, has already reduced rail breaks from one break in 600 rails to one break In 142,000 rails. industry in OWLS CHARTER OP' New Britain nest, Order of Owls, held an enthusiastic meeting last night.

General W. A Khomlinoff is be- ing held, it was officially announced, as the result preliminary in- quiry by Bogorodsk into charges of criminal negligence and high treason in connection with hi administration of the Russian army It is the allusion to “high treason’ in this official announcement which | has aroused interest and discussion, not only in Russia, but through the capitals of Europe. In the countries of the allies much curiosity was evinced on the subject. Gradually it is being realized, with a notable sense of relief, that the aged Russian cavalry leader was not guilty of high treason in the technical sense of the term, but rather of negligence and incompetence. The whole case, however, provides incidents of the most dramatic kind, and the general's trial, if the proceedings are made puh- lie, will undoubtedly an interna- tional cause cclebre. General Soukhomlinoff’s friends af- firm that he is held in imprisonment chiefly in conformity with an Oriental tradition of the Russian military serv ice to treat with severity mili‘ ry chiefs who are responsible for failure of any kind. The Chinese and the Tartars in the past made it a practice to put to death a general who lost a battle. The Russians have not gone so far, but they have alwayve shown severity With regard to negligence and incom- petence, and, indeed, in doing this they have always affirmed that they are merely carrying out the princi- ples enunciated by the great militar leaders of all lands. Jt was not su- perstition that made Xapoleon show severity for commanders who were unlucky, and the practice of the Brit- ish naval service in dealing rather harshly with a commander who loses his ship is motived by the same prin- ciple. That the great Teuton push against the Russian armies in the spring of last year began and gathered accelera- tion while General Soukhomlinoff was | minister of war is alleged by his friends to be the chief motive for his now being penalized. They declare the circumstantial ecvidence, which is being adduced against him, in the form of documents taken from his home and from his office and in the form of testimony with regard to relations to ndividuals of less is the ind that be accumulated against harmless and ingenuous living. It remarked that General Soukhomlinoff has many apologists, there are really few who press themselves as being hostile to him for reasons other than those connected with failure adequately to provide the Russ army with the military resources which the situation of the army six months after the war began demanded. What probably induces the public to a more lenient view of General Soukhomlinoff’s case is the fact that it has its elements of humor.

The gov- ernment factories are doing all they can.” The detalls of the first carried out by Senator Bogorodsks who was charged with the investiga- tion, have now heen made known, and the Russlan public is already drawing favorable conclusions from them with regard to the innocence of General Soukhomlinoff at least of greivous treachery to the state. inspection The night Allegations.

The senator ordered the general to accompany him in an examination of his house and office, where all the furniture was carefully inspected with a view to discovering documents which might have been hidden. The general, although deeply affected, aided in the examination and also in the careful scrutiny of the quarters occupied in his house by a certain Madame Cugne, for many years and who enjoyed the general's confidence.

They were requested to expose -all the information they possessed with vegard to the purely military question of the administration of the war of- fice under General Soukhomlinoff. The Corriere of Milan learns from Petrograd that their testimony considered sufficient to justify the ar rvest of the war minister. The ques- of treasonable relations with the enemy, however, is sald to have been left untouched hy the superior commission in reporting on the pre- liminary hearing of the case, The suggestion of treasonable con- duct was based on the relations which existed between the general and the traitor Mossoiedoff. An investigation into this end of the case was post- poned. An inquiry was then begun into the relationships which General Souk- homlinoff had before becoming a member of the government, and it was determined to clear up the in- fluence which the acquaintanceships which he gradually made exercised:on his unfortunate career. It is hinted that, having once started off on cer: tain illicit courses, come more and more involved in in- trigues woven around him by rascals and blackmallers, who knew much about his private affairs and were able to hold him in their grasp. A dublous crowd of climbers had welded an iron ring around the Soukhomlinoff family. This band was formed at Kiev when the general lived therc as governor of the city. The most military the session intimate frequenters of his house were Massoiedoff, Dmitry Bogroff, who later was the assassin of Premier Stolypin during a theater performance at Kiev; a certain Ku- dapko, and a certain Altschiller. The last mentioned was the strangest sonality of all. An Austrian subject, lved per- manently at Klev with a Viennes woman who was known in society as his “civil wife.” In Russia the only marriage is that performed according to religious rites, and the term “civil” consequently can mean only extra- legal. Altschiller and his wife be- came friends of the Soukhomlinoff family, and the latter, indeed, owed no small debt of gratitude to these two Austrian citizens for aid given in bringing about the union in marriage of General Soulkhomlinoff with his present wife, who ten years ago was married to a member of the Court of Appeals of Warsaw. he o Young Wife’s Antecedents. Other accounts with regard to the voung and fascinating woman whom the general made his wife are to the Tect that she had been a waitress in i restaurant at Kiev, and first won the heart and hand of a wealthy land- owner and philanthropist. When General Soukhomlinoff was made minister of war and removed his household from Kiev to Petrograd, the Altschillers also changed their res- idence and opened an office in Gogol street in the capital. There is still a go0d deal of mystery as to what sort of an office this was. The business that was there transacted had no re- lation with commerce, but it is said to be proved that Altschiller's wife had close relations with the Austro- Hungarian embassy. In bureaucratlc circles in Petrograd Altschiller's office was facetiously called the ‘office for the exploitation of Soukhomlinoff.” At its opening, General Soukhomli- noff and his wife were present, at the head of a gathering of persons invited by Altschiller. The minister's wife served the tea and acted as hostess. was present, for he too, emigrated from Kiev to Petrograd with the others.

The gener- al's house was the headquarters for | the leading spies. There were concen- | trated the chief sources of crime and treason. And the consequences were truly terrible. Frequently the minister was notified | by friends and acquaintances that the reputation of the strange characters | whom he had around him was very dubious, but the general, who was haughty and sure of himself, remained constantly deaf all hints and de- | nunciations. To those who spoke out | frankly he showed considerable ani- | mosity, he thought he was | made the object of intrigue by jealous { persons.
