BRITISH ARE COMPLAINING.
Their Vessels Distanced by Germany
in Speed Competition.

in Speed Competition.
The remarkable run of the hamburg
American Line steamship Deutschland is
exciting unusual interest in England, and
there is much complaint because British
vessols are thus distanced in the speed
competition. The Daily Chronicle points
out the danger that, in time of war, Brit
ish trade would be at the mercy Of such
swift commerce destroyers, and says
that the government and nation must
look to it. The Cunard Line manager
when interviewed said: There is no
doubt that Germany is alive to the value
Of such fast vessels in the event of war,
and the benevolent attitude Of the Ger
man government has been largely instru-
mental in stimulating their production.
1t IS all a question Of cost. Experience
has proved that there is no fnality in
speed development The Cunard Line
has its eyes fully open TO the situation"
