Russia’s Central Asian Railway Plans

THE Russian minister of railroads has caused it to be announced that Russia is not planning to build the Central Asian railway from Samarkand to Hankow; also that the proposed line from Samarkand to Tomsk has been abandoned. But this announcement, especially the Hankow feature, does not signify anything. If it means anything, it is meant for a blind. Hankow is not the only city in China, and Russia is not spending millions on a great railroad to let it end somewhere in the deserts and wilds of Central Asia.
