A FLEET IN ONE SHIP.
land and Her Enormous
Capacity.

1t is doubtful If al the vessels which
piled regularly between America and
Europe before the day Of steamships
could have carried, at a lading, a much
greater quantity Of merchandise than
can be loaded upon a single ship which
was recently launched for the trans
Atlantic traffic. The new German
steamship, Deutschland, 10000 tons, is
in herself quite the equivalent in carry
ing power to a whole feet Of vessels Of
so years ago, says Youths Companion.
This remarkable vessel now marks
the maximum in the competition be
tween the transatlantic lines to pro
duce the greatest and most successful
ships. She is the rival Of the Oceanic,
launched last year at Belfast, and
while her gross tonnage is slightly
less than that of the Oceanic, and her
length but a foot and half more, her
indicated horse power is considerably
greater, and her speed is expected to
reach p knots an hour.
Year by year the great trans-At-
lantic feet expands and becomes more
wonderful. It flies the flag Of Britain,
Of Germany, Of France, Of Holland, Of
Norway, and only to a limited extent
that OF the United States OF al the
vast feet Of passenger steamers regu-
IarlF plying between the United States
and Europe but two were built IN this
country. The question: why IS this
