CUNARD STANDS ALONE.
Lord InUerclyde Says Combination
Is against English Line.

Liverpool. April 13-At the annual meeting OF
the shareholders OF the Cunard Line here to-
day. the chairman. Lord InveFclyde, announced
that the shipping combination had intimated its
inability to carry out one OF the most important
clauses Of the settlement recently arrived at,
and consequently all tentative arrangements be-
tween the CunaFd Line and the Continental lines
and the combination were imperative. Lord IN
verclyde was unable to say IL the present rates
would be maintained He considered that the
policy the CunaFd Line followed IN the past
the only possible one. and believed that
the Atlantic shipping combination was aimed d.
rectly against the Cunard Line
The chairman believed the shareholders would
not regret the sacrifices necessary 70 maintain
the independence OF the CUnard Line against
the alliance formed against it, The directors
had received encouragement both here and frOnn
America to continue to defend the cOmpany's
interests. The chairman also referred to the
governmental support Of the German lines as tn
dicating the severity Of the struggle.
Beyond the loss OF revenue caused by the rate
war Lord Inverclyde stated that he did not re-
gret a single step taken. There was at present
no agreement between the Cunard Line and the
combination. The only effect Of the tentative
agreement was that passenger rates were re-
stored to their old level.

allegations of Gustave c. Hennng. a mechanical

Quiring correction and leaks in the tunnel are no
