MORE OCEAN GREYHoUNDs."

Six steamships are 10 be built for the
International Mercantile Marine Company, ac-
cording 10 Mr. ]. Bruce Ismay, who is at the
head of that organization. To which of the six
or eight individual lines embraced in the COM
binatiOn they will belong he does not say, but
il is not unlikely that most of them will be
added to the White Star feet. Mr.. Ismay goes
on to say that the vessels will not intro
duce the "a la carte system to their dining sa-
looms nor be propelled by steam turbines. He
is confident however. that when they are ready
for service they will equal in speed anything
else then afioat
This statement shows that just now the pen
duIum Of favor among the owners of transat
lantic steamships is making a long swing
toward the express type. A few years ago there
was a manifest and almost universal preference
for ships like the Baltic. the CarOnia and the
Amerika, developing speed of only seventeen
or eighteen knots, requiring an extra day or two
on the ocean. but wonderfully comfortable and
economical. The first sign of a reaction was the
determination Of the CunaTd company to wrest
from Germany the distinction of having the
fastest vessels in the world. For two years or
more It has been uncertain whether any other
English company would follow suit There
were grave financial objections to the adoption
of that policy and grave engineering problems
TO be considered before imitation could be re-
garded as safe. Perhaps the announcement by
the Hamburg American Line a month ago that
il would take up the gauntlet thrown down by
the Cunard company has turned the scale. In
deed, the recent demonstration by La Provence
of her ability TO maintain speed of more than
twenty-five knots for whole transatlantic vOy
age may not have been without influence. The
new French steamship is no match for the
Deutschland or the Kaiser Wilhelm II, it is
evident but the rivalry of the company to
which she belongs is now more serious than
ever before 10 the international Mercantile
Marine Company. The fastest ship of the White
Star Line, the Oceanic, never developed more
than twenty lone knots at her best, and she is
probably not quite equal to that now
High speeds are secured only at an enormous
cost. The most trifiing gain involves q conspic-
nous increase in power, and consequently in
coal consumption. The Deutschland, which was
good for twenty-three and a half knots not long
ago. has engines Of $4,000 horsepower The ca
pacity Of those with which the Lusitania and
Mauritania are 10 be equipped to enable them
to travel at twenty-five knots will be $4,000 or
10000 horsepower. The North German Lloyd
company built the Kaiser Wilhelm II In the
hope that she would eclipse what was then the
latest "fyer" OF the Hamburg American Line
and put engines OF 10000 horsepower into her
FOR that purpose. The best speed Of the Deutsch-
land for whole voyage is 1881 knots. Burn
ing II per cent more coal. her rival has never
cone better than 23.5S knots. Though the de
slgner Of tie Kaiser Wilhelm II would not
openly betray disappointment, It is probable that
Lbs e1oeetstions were not fully realized AftaE

pIETY AND TOBACCO.

Ocean Grove and Asbury PARK are not far
apart geographically and keep pretty we'll to-
gether in the moral rigOr which prescribes the
administration of both. The former, with its
camp meeting annex assembling annually, has
if anything, the more austere tradition of the
two, and this year won't sell cigar either TO
one Of the faithful within the fold or to the
pagan outside who has happened along as a
visitor.
One consequence of this has been that the
tobacco trade has doomed in the adjoining com
munity since the patrons of both began 70 as
semble and the Ocean Grove finances have thus
suffered in a degree to correspond. All the
smokers OF the latter, and there are not n few
OF them, made a beeline for Asbury Park as
soon as the circulars shutting down the trade
IN the Grove began to be distributed. In AsbUTy
Park tobacco is not yet interdicted, though in
the moral competition with the rival resort it
may be before the summer Is over That would

her first trip TO America he expressed himself
pessimisucally In regard to the future, and
seemed 20 think that the limit OF speed had
virtually been reached.
When the Cunard company decided to try for
twenty-five knots 1t was believed that success
was practicable only through the use of steam
turbines. The advisers of Mr.. Ismay, it appears,
do not accept that doctrine Whether or not they
think they can get along with less power has not
yet been divuIged. However, since the recipro-
eating engine calls for slightly more fuel than
the turbine, It is within the range of possibility
that the fast ships Of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company will require more coal
than the Lusitania and the Mauritania, which
will be upward of one thousand tons day.
