Tho Eaiscr Wilhelm der Crosse not only beat

WILL SHE BREAK MORE?
The performance OF the Kaiser seems so me
that Il appears probable that II she were sent
over the course to Liverpool she would beat the
best time made by the fast cunarders' as Sh'
roae faster hour runs thar either OF the fast
English boats The Kaiser burned an average o'
Ave hundred tons of coal day. She Is booked
to sail for Bremen Thursday at a. m ana
Il seems extremely probable that. barring acci-
dents she will break the best eastern record for
the course This record s now days. 10 hours
o,d ii minutes with an average speed Of l?0i
knots and IS held by the American liner ST
Touis II should be remembered. however.
that in spite OF the fact that most ships do not
make their best time until their machinery has
boeu limbered up, all the German steamers
have invariably made their best records on their
maiden trips or afterward, and have sell
dom done anything remarkable after they had
found thems lives"
