the only means of uninterrupted com«

England and eastern New York' are
separated from the rest of the coun-

the strategy by which at the time of
the Revolution the British hoped to
be able to cut off New England and
therefore to divide the Continental
forces.
“The strategy of the Hudson which
Great Britain's generals were unable

that the logic of railway direction and

For several dut's it has llt‘l'll ucclr

who had taken interest in those marri-
fosiatlona was greatly mistaken. J
Aside from the economics that. follow
uuiiloutiou of railway systems within a
given territory. there are Ullli'i‘ econo-
ruics which are to follow the control of
this road by the New Haven. Those are
of importance in l’cuusylvarria. as they
are in New England and in some nrcas.
ure ill regions further Ivt-st than that
in which lhcgrcal coal mines are sil-
uated. it has been observed since
President Melicu has come from the
far west to the far- cast to direct one
of the great railway systems of the
United States. the New Haven. that
something of the board and compre-
hensive spirit. the Wlf-lt.‘ aggressiveness
and patient comprehension that char-
acterize all successful management of
the larger railway system of the west
has been brought to the New Haven.
That corporation is ”W t-lricf coal

that which goes by water. lipou ii in
considerable measure the large manu-
facturing establishments of New Eng.

‘iation of their products. bill for their

system. and when it is rcurciuborml
ihat this transportation, so far as coal
is concerned. concentrates and there-
fore congests within the city of New

entails excessive use of trackagc and
terminal facilities.
Therefore. through the (‘Oilil'ul of the

practically does to the very heart of
the anthracite regionsJ capable of fur-
nishing transportation facilities with
out the annoying and tedious and some-
what expensive mcthods entailed by
the floating around the city of New
York by water of coal-laden cars. the
New Haven can divert It may consid-
erable part of its coal traffic from the
main line to this railroad. irJ practical-
ly commands an unbroken line from
Boston to the anthracite and even to
the bituminous regions.
There is some reason for presuming
that President Mellon in recommend-
ing the purchase of this litre was in
part impelled to do that through the
power he possesses of looking with the
clear and far-seeing eye of true rail-
road statesmanshlp upon the pre slug
problems occasioned by tlIc colic Itta-
tion and congestion of traffic in the old
city of New York.
Criticism. some of it due to timltllty.
some to cynicism. some undoubtedly to
a more contemptlble. weakness of hu-
man nalurc. is sometimes heard when
President Cassatt's heavy obligations
in behalf of the Pennsylvania railroad
interests are spoken of. Even the great
proposition which when worked out
will give the Pennsylvania independent
and unbroken entrance to Manhattan.
and to the almost equally important
borough of Brooklyn. while also for-
planing actual physical contact with
the New Haven system at Mott HaIen
does not escape criticism. The ultra-5
conservative financiers and some rail-
way managers who are altogether too
conservative do not hesitate when
speaking privately to condemn an ex-
penditure of 850.000.000 to secure these
facilities. But the wiser men here.
