ROADS HAVE BRIGHT FUTURE S
More Transcontinental Lines Than in
South America or Asia Are Expect
ed Within Course of About
Ten Years.
Africa already has the foundation
for one of the completest and most
evenly distributed railway systems of
all the great continents of the world, in
observes a writer In World Outlook. S,
i Save Europe, the railways of all the sa
,other great geographical divisions are
largely locatel in certain highly devel- fr
oped areas-as in the United States g(
and southern Canada in North Ameri- oI
ca, while other regions ;re left blan I tl,
and promise to remain so, indefinitely in
In Africa a vigorous pu-hirng of an.I inl
c,nsiderable prolorti fn of the lrojc t. ' i1
that were in c ,nltetmllation before th, l I.
war will give that continent. a dal:; <,
hence, u, t only a fairly even network ds

Asia nwill be able to boast of at the F
same date.
Railroad Building in Africa.
In the imminent ro,mipletion of the
Cape-to-Cairo project-a consumma- t
tion which will be considerably accel- t
' erated by certain work done during ,
:- the war-Africa will have a line tra- I
- versing Its entire length from north to t
south long before any continent but
Europe can lay claim to such a rail- t
way. The Cape-to-Cairo-with metals ,
all the way and steamer transport on r
Nile and the lakes eliminated-might t
easily bring Capetown within ten or
twelve days of London and Paris. and
a day or two could certainly be cut
from even this schedule by a line the

Sp,:ite U;ibraltar-acros-s the Sahara,

!1 go, to northern RIhodesia.
; At the outbreak of the war Africa
.- had a total of something like 25,3^
miles of completed railway, and was
he building new lines at the rate of about
2,000 miles a year. At the firing of the
first shot much important construction
work was dropped instantly, not to be
m resumed until the war is over. This
affected what would probably have
ron amounted to 4,000 miles of new line
that would have been completed In the
is two and a half years that war has
en lasted so far.
Lines for Military Purposes.
In This loss Is partially offset by the
new construction - purely military
.tl- lines for the better prosecution of cer
tes tain campaigns-that might not have
tes been undertaken for many years had
not the war rendered It imperative
Ich from a strategic standpoint. Such was
ch the linking up of the Union of South
Africa system with that of German
be- Southwest Africa by Botha in pushing
ced his campaign for the conquest of the
latter region; and such the running to
gether of the rallheads of a brunch

Usambara linte at th.- frontier of Ger

e One of the great compats foir vi(e

this early period of the war is the
gpledge taken by the railroad executives
