THE HONGKONG DAILY PERSS, MONDAY, APRIL 201¤, 1912.
The following letter appears in the Pall Mall Gazette of the 2nd inst.:-
S-I bave read with painful surprise the reports of the German Crown Prince's anti-English feeling, which he is alleged to have expressed in the. Reichstag. In the light of some little knowledge that I possess of his Imperial Highness and his character, I can never give credence to such reports as attribute to him a feoling of enmity towards Great Britain, or the Crown Prince must have completely chang ed since his departure from India.
When he visited this country last year I was on his Imperial Highness' staff as the only Indian Press representative; and, thanks to the kindness of Sir Harold Stuart, Chief of his Indian Staff, I was enabled to gain some knowledge of his noble character and some insight into his

political views. He is no vainglorious false COMPLETE
diporat or inysterious politician, but a most outspoken and unceremonious gentle- man. in the bart sense of the term, like our own Emperor and it is not unravelling a mystery to read his character. In fact, the thing that most appealed to the Indian nind was his honest and frank demeanour. Anything be bad to say he would say utright, without beating about the hush for "political reservo" On most occasions he gave his views of European politics, and they were always imbued with a high sense of sincerity and truth.

Highness was reading a Reuter telegram (the service was regularly supplied for him by the telegraph office) when he pointed" out to a member of his suite & report of Mr. Gibson Bowles' alarming speech in regard to the possibilities of a war with Germany, and said, "Germany dreams. less of war than those party leaders who always talk of it for purposes of their party warfare. The spirit of the Ger man people is not bellicose, but peace- ful and war is the last thing we want. Why should we fight with England, which is closely allied to us by blood and senti- ment, and is the only country with which we form friendship on a footing of equality I personally like England, and follow the policy of my father, who always thinks that the peace of the world can only be maintained by a close under- standing between England and Ger many.

DRIVEN BY AIR..
REW TYPE OF RAILWAY ENGINE.
A smokeless, fireless, contless locomo- tive, relying on compressed air for its motive power, is the latest railway novelty, saya the Standard. This locomo tive, which has been patented by a Glas- gow firmu, differs from all other locame tives hitherto built for propulsion by com- pressed air, in that it carries its own com- pressed air from an external source of supply. The compressors are actuated by two Diesel oil engines, capable of generat- ing 1,000 horse-power.
The design for the compressed air loco.. motive comprises a fourteen-wheeled on- gine, without tender, and arranged to run with equal facility and at equal speeds in either direction, the whole having some what the appearance of a large electric. locomotive as used on the Swier tunnel railways, except that a chimney-like at- tachment is fitted at each end. These
#chimneys serve as water fillers.
The two sets of oil engines are situated in the middle of the locomotive housing, is also the compressing apparatus. When running, the locomotive will draw its compressed air supply direct from this compressing plant, the engine forming & self-contained and portable power house, but for starting power is taken from a number of small bottle-shaped reservoirs placed in the roof.
GREAT SAVING IN 'COSTS" Detailed calculations show, saya the Standard, that a compressed air express"
engine of this type will be cheaper to work. then a steam locomotive. With locomo tive coal at 10. a ton the cost of develop ing 1,000 hores-power for one hour would amount to 15s. 7td. in the case of a steam engine. A compressed air locomotive using crude oil costing 408. a ton would de- velop the same power at a cost of only Ss. 9td.
Smoke and steam would be entirely eli- minated. The present great wastage of fuel resulting from the burning of coal for some hours before a locomotive can start, and also when the locomotive is at rest in a station or siding, would also be entirely avoided. It has been estimated that fully 25 per cent. of the coal burned by locomo tires is at present wasted as a result of these "atand-by losses."
