future. Russia Is the granary Of Eur
ope. II has the largest farm population
OF the whole world and the extent to
which we are selling II farm machinery
will be interesting
AMONG THE GERMANS.
Germany will be next visited, This
country Is the giant Of modern times.
II is one of the best manufacturers and
the shrewdest traders Of all the Euro
pean countries and II is doing more In
comparison with what God has given
II than any other. The Berlin of 1902,
the technical schools how Germany Is
capturing the oceans, the mighty ports,
the American hog and how 1t goes into
sausage for German stomachs and
American trade on the Rhine will be
among the subjects Of my investlga-
ton
From Germany / will go to Holland
and Belgium and then to France, Each
OF these countries will be treated along
the same and other lines, the only aim
being to get news matter interesting
to Americans.
ON AN AMERICAN CRUISER.
/ came to England on an American
cruiser. England and Germany have
the bulk OF the shipping Of the Atlantic,
so much so that II Is estimated we pay
England alone about S5,O0O.O 900 a year
for carrying our freight, although we
are beginning to acquire lines of our
own. 1t was only last YER that Pier
pont Morgan and his associates
bought the Leyland line for between
SS,OO0O0O and S9,0O00O0, and the Inter
national Navigation comp any, which is
Simon pure American, has a fleet Of
big steamers which are keeping the
Atlantic hot between America and
Europe. II was on the st. Louis of
their line that ! crossed The ship Is
one OF ll,629 tons II is one Of the best
on the Atlantic and one of the fastest
on record and Il was built by an
American. 1t came from Cramps ship
yards in Philadelphia, and like the rest
of the boats of its line It is now doing
more business than English ships of
the same class and tonnage
The ST. Louis Is run on the American
plan and In one respect on plan that
has much TO do with making Amerl-
cans successful In their present in
vaslon | mean that the boat Is
pushed as far as IL consistent with
safety. II makes almost one-thrd
more trips year than English boats
of the same class The English method
Is to go slow and let the ships rest be-
tween times with the belief that I'm this
way they will last the longer The
American plan is TO work them for what
they are worth and as soon as they
begin to fail to sell them as freighters
or throw them on the scrap heap.
MODERN YANKEE STEAMSHIP
METHODS 10
Said leading steamship man to me
lately: "The world moves too fast TO
attempt to keep up with II with any but
the very best and newest machinery.
There are new inventions every month
and the ship that don't have them will
have TO take the skim milk OF freight
and passengers. II Is better to buy new
ships and get the cream This Is one |
trouble with England's shipping over |
the world today. Take the p. o., one |
OF their famous lines TO the orient. |
generation ago II had no competitors |
to speak Of; today the Germans are |
getting the most OF It's trade. The |
Germans have the fastest and the best |
OF the Atlantic steamers and they are |
building bigger ones and better ones
every year"
The fastest ship now on the ocean IL |
the Deutschland OF the Hamburg |
American line. II has 10000 tons and /
It's record speed In crossing the At |
lantlc was Just about 23h nautical |
miles an hour. II went from Sandy |
Hook to Plymouth In five days, seven |
hours and 81 minutes. The record speed |
OF the st. Paul, sister ship of the |
st. Louis, for It's fastest voyage aver
aged q miles and eight minutes to the
hour, an average only surpassed by the
the Kronprlnz Wilhelm OF |
the North German Lloyd and the Luz
canla OF the Cunard line.
