HEWS «rmd \ LOCAL OFFICIALS TO WHICH ENGINE TESTS - • New Passenger Locomotive Out of Shops; May Be Run to Gettysburg This Week ♦ Reading Railway officials In Harris- ! burg will watch closely this week the | tests of the passenger engine recently j completed at the Reading shops. The | engine will run to Harrlsburg and may make a trip to Gettysburg. The main locomotive frames termi nate under the front edge of the fire box, where they are tied together and joined to a single back frame extend ing longitudinally under the central portion of the firebox and providing a bearing for the rear truck center plate and fastenings for the back pull ing casting. Three conical ash pans are provided on each side of the back frame, which give large, self-cleaning receptacles and provide large air openings under the grates. The cab Is located on the back end of the firebox; this allows the engine man and flremaA to be together, which is not possible with the prevailing type of anthraclte-b\irning locomotives. i Firebox and grate surface is prob ably the largest of the usual types ever applied to a passenger locomotive, and. with a few exceptions, as large as any ever applied to a freight locomotive. The firebox and eombustta.n chamber heating surface equals 29 2 square feet, and the 108 square feet grate surface provides good capacity for hurning the lower grades of anthracite coal.

Ambassador Gerard says his ob servations are based on the favorable effect which the visit of Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, emissary of Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor, has produced on officials of the German Government. Dr. Oerhard was understood by Mr. Gerard to have reported that public I opinion In the United States had been growing more and more favorable to Germany since the sinking of the Lusl tania undid what had been accom plished. Wliat the German Govern ment is endeavoring to do Is to find some method by which -Americans traveling: on slilps primarily used for passenger traffic shall l>c safe while the submarine continues to be used I in attacking freight ships of belliger ent countries carrying contraband. Just what principle Germany will j make to accomplish this object Is con jecture.
