CALL BUREAU, WASHINGTON, April 24—The successful trip of tane American steamship Arizonan from Honolulu to Philadelphia with a large cargo in 55 days and 9 hours, without the use of a pound of coal, has created no end of comment among Eastern shipping men. The steamship came 14,000 miles without an accident to her machinery and made no stops for fuel during the entire voyage. An inspec- | tion to-day showed her to be in perfect | trim. California oil was the genie of (hel trip. Less than 8000 gallons of oil in | twenty-four hours was consumed and | not a particle of smoke was visible | when the vessel steamed up the harbor. | She was as clean as a yacht on parade | and made all the old sea dogs open their eyes in astonishment, knowing, as | they did, that the craft had made a re- markable run for her port of destina- tion. i Naval authorities have viewed the voyage of the Arizonan with interest. The only objection that the navy has made to the use of fuel oil is that it is not obtainable at ports of the world where war vessels are likely to slop.‘ However, if a vessel can carry enough | oil for a 20,000 mile trip the problem is w partly solved. It is possible all nations | may adopt oil, which would create an immense market for the product and‘ greatly benefit oil-producing countries. The Philadelphia Record calls atten- tion to the regularity of the service be- tween San Francisco and Tahiti main- | tained by the Oceanic Steamship Com- pany and declares that oil burners have | been demonstrated to be a great ad- | vantage to the vessels of the Oceanic line. The Washington Post, in an edito- rial, says that the use of oil on ocean steamships long ago passed the experi- mental stage and that the work now going on is merely one of extension. “Steamers on the line between San Francisco and Tahiti use oil exclusive- ly on a run of more than 4000 miles,” says the Post.
