ROTOR SHIP WINS AGAINST STEAMER Beats Twin-Screw Vessel in Run, Danzig to Holtenau, by Five Hours. BY JAMES B. WHARTON Special Correspondent of The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. HOLTENAU, Germany, February 9. —Wallowing through heavy seas and barassed by head-on-winds, Anton Flettner's fantastic rotorship hae scored its first victory 'over steam power. It was learned today that the Buckau arrived at Holtenau yester- day, from Danzig, five hours ahesd of the' twin screw steamer Tondren, which left Danzig at the same time. The test, which was the first real tryout of the seaworthiness and fuel- saving possibilities of the Buckau, demonstrated not the superior per- formance of rotor equipment alone, but the efficiency of combined rotors and power, as the Buckau was com- pelled to use its auxiliary engines. Officials of the Germania Werft, con- structors of the Buckau, rald today they were thoroughly satisfied with the performance of the rotorship on her three-day voyage. The ship is be- ing ovehauled today and will proceed tomorrow through the Klel canal, and across the North Sea to Scotland. Wil- helm Heberling, chief engineer of the Germania Werft, inspected the vessel and expressed the opinion that the voy~ age had proven the soundness of the rotor principle. To Determine Ecenomie Value. “Its economic value remains to be determined,” he =aid, “as but half the cargo voyage has been made and the data is not sufficient to justify a con- clusion as to actual efficiency.” The fuel economy of the rotorship is calculated over a wide range to be from 17 to 80 per cent. When auxiliary power is used only the min- imum saving Is achieved. Without auxiliary power the maximum is achieved, the remaining 20 per cent being used to turn the rotors. During the voyage from Danzig it was necessary to use the auxiliary motor virtually during the entire voyage, due to the foul weather. If fair weather is met in the North Sea, it is hoped the voyage may be made without auxiliary power. However, no unnecessary tacks will be taken to achieve this purpose. Planning Larger Shi Although no definite contracts have been made with the Germania Werft for the construction of other ships, as previously reported, the company, which is a subsidiary of the Krupp concern, is planning on paper the constructign of two, four, six and eight thousand ton rotorships, with rotors twice the size of those of the Buckau and five times their height. The Buckau's rotors are about 10 feet thick and 50 feet high. Heberling believes the maximum value of the rotor principle will be attained with ships of far greater size than the Buckau, which is only §00 tons.

Though the recent heavy rock slide in the high hill near Great Falls da- layed for two or three months the completion of the tunnel of the new water supply system at that point, Maj. James O'Connor, the United States engineer in charge, says it will not prevent the completion and opera- tion of the entire project by January 1, 1927, the date fixed in the estimates to Congress. He says that the tunnel has been built past the point where the slide occurred and is within 200 feet of completion. When that is done. it will be possible to carry water through the new conduit from Great Falls to the Dalecarlia or receiving reservoir, at the District line. It was estimated that that could be done about April 15. Maj. O'Connor admits that there may be a short delay in that opera- tion, owing to the slide in the Great Falls tunnel, but that it will make no difference in the regular water service in the District. The new flitration plant at the District line and its con- nections with the District mains, he pointed out, have yet to be construct- ed. He sald that the existing con- duit carries all the water needed for current uses, and that the new con- duit system will be entirely completed all the way to the Dalecarlia reser- voir long before an additional supply of water will be needed.
