The commission is confident that great im- provements are practicible, even with the existing deficlency in rolling stock. ‘The immediate problem is congestion, and the commission beligves that even under the "present conditions trafiic can be increased more than three fold. The Americans are somewhat skep- tical, it is belleved, about the possi- bility of managing the lines on the principles put forward by N. V. Ne- krasoff, minister of communications, who. is accompanying the commis- sion. n a statement given to the Asso- clated Press by M. Mitinsky, director of the department of material, warm’ appreciation was expressed for the work already done by the Ameri- cans. E M. Mitinsky, who meets the com- mission on its arrival at Vladivostok, sald: “Mr. Stevens and his colleagues found the track not so bad as expect- ed, it being of similar construction throughout without any. particularly bad spots. In regard to the rolling stock they alse found the condition of the , cars relatively favorable. The work of the Americans in Viadivostok ‘was admirabe, and they are now en- gaged in planning and putting togeth- er shops. On the spot they decided that the facilities at Vladivostok were inadequate to take care of the ex- pected delivery of big American or- ders and the construction of two b plers for ships drawing 45 feet decided upon and the sketches made. The consent of Petrograd was immedi- ately obtained and the work has al- ready begun and will be finished with- in three months At Harbin, Tchita, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk, and also at Vyatka in European Russia, thorough examina- tions were made, chiefly from the standpoint of finding the most suit- able locations for repair shops. (] will act en the advice of the cOm- missioners. “The commission was much Jm- pressed by our big bridges, particu- larly over the Sungari, the Yenesei and at Novo Moskovsk. We met ol traffic departments and found our ‘working personnel inclined to cordials ly co-operate with the Americans, one proof of' which was that the train made quicker time than under peace conditions/--We-madedt-arrule to-have no secrets from the commlssion. and, although no, program is fixed, I be- lieve the Americans will stay as long as we want them. In my opinion that means a very long time. mvmm-nmnmm' Condon Under Arrest for Killing Student.

Cocchl’ has been traced to Bologna, Italy, and was re- ported to be under close surveillangs. Complications are possible in o Cocchi case on account of the pro visidn in the Italian constitution for- bidding the extradition from Italy of Itallan subjects accused of commit- ting crimes in foreign countries where the punishment is death, but the war may effect the attitude of the Italian government in the matter. Italy and the United States are now allies, en- | gaged in a struggle against a common enemy, and it is believed in Washing- ton that Italy may consent to the ex- tradition of Cocchi as an act of grace.
