Until 1914, travellers from Lon- don, Paris, Geneva and Milan, if bound for Petrograd, were obliged to go either by way of Berlin of Vienna. The two new routes now under con- sideration are intended to enable trav- ellers to cross the continent of Eu- rope without passing through Ger- man or Austro-Hungarian capitals. What is called the "northern route" is projected to connect London with Petrograd by way of Sweden; through trains to be ferried from Newcastle across the North sea to Gothenburg, to proceed over Swedish rails to the neighborhood of Stockholm, to be fer- ried again across the Gulf of Bothnia connecting with - Finland lines that would make Petrograd accesssible., Propose Southern Route The proposed "southern rout- would follow as nearly as possible the forty-fifth degree of latitude. Starting from Bordeaux, the line would make a circuit around the mountainous region of central France to reach Lyons, whence it would take a south-easterly direction, passing through a new tunnel under the Alps to reach Milan. Venice, Trieste, Agram, Belgrade, Bucharest and Od- essa would be the other principal sta- tions on this route.- These routes, their advocates argue, would be important factors in the fu- ture economic struggle. . Prepare for Business Invasion Stories reach Paris of the trai- ing in Germany of thousands of clerks, interpreters and commercial representatives for the commercial invasions of Russia. One hundred thousand Russian prisoners of war, it is said, are also being initiated in German business and industrial meth- ods, while at the same time learning the language. This organization with a view to competiion for Russian business, added to the natural advan- tage of proximity that the. Germans enjoy, is presented as another argu- ment why Western. Europe can no longer allow them to monoplize the trans-continental traffic. When the southern and northern routes are completed; the gap of 500 miles between the Russian and Anglo- Indian rails may be filled and then with the tunnel under the English channel completed, one would be able to take the train at London and go through by rail to Bombay and Cal- cutta. Engineers are now studying ,another route from Irkutsk on the1 trans-Siberian route to Canton across the whole of China. Aerial Mail Service Important mail matter soon may be carried in much shorter time. The central empires are understood to be working toward the establishment of regular aerial communication with the Allies, and the same subject has been under discussion in France and England. It is considered here as certain that letters soon will be car- ried through the air. Enterprising newspapers may also adopt this meth- od for the rapid transportation of late editions.
