NEW RUSSIAN BRIDGE, ONE OF LONGEST IN THE WORLD

One of the longest bridges in the world, the railway bridge over the Amur river at Khabarovsk, Siberia, which has been completed after five years of construction at- a cost of $9,000,000. The bridge is 7,598 feet long. Its finish marks the completion of the Amur railway from Kuenge to Khabarovsk. It is most likely that this new bridge will figure in the war as it will be necessary for the Teutons to cross it to get to certain sections of Siberia, which, according to dispatches received here, will be occupied by Japanese troops to protect the supplies there.
