Nearly all the railroads of Germany are

"In traveling from Constantinople to
Vienna one passes through Turkey, Bul

Auatrla, without a change of cars, and
yet each country owns and operates Its
own roads, and different languages are
spoken on the different divisions of the
line." Sweden and-Norway each owns
Its railroads, but thsy have no trouble
about interstate traffic, although tbslr

local lines can be pure ha and or new

if we can apend aeverai hundred millions
