REPORTER NEW YORK.—The world's four greatest maritime nations are en- gaging in a titanic cmomercial struggle for the lion's share of the great trans-Atlantic steamship tour- ist trade. Germany, England, France and the United States have each spent land are spending countless mil- lions to lure the majority of tour- |ists from the other three. If the race is to the swift, Ger- many has victory in the palm of her hand with her two rotor grey- hounds—the Bremen and the Euro- pa. These sister ships have broken {all existing records for ocean cross- ings. A few days ago the Mauretania and Europa raced ship to ship from Cherbourg. ~ The Mauretania left| sel, but reached New .York harbor exactly four hours and nineteen | minutes after her. Four days and twenty-three hours was consumed by the winner in the trip, and this was by no means the best time she has ever made. On her maiden voyage she sped across the Atlantic in four days seventeen hours and six min- utes. Until the launching of these two German speed champions, the syn- dicates controlling the trans-At- lantic steamers were satisfied to al- laurels. In eonstructing their boats they concentrated more on devices for the comfort of their passengers than on achievement of new speed records.
