FULT0Nss STEAMBOAT IS
 COMPARED TO LUgaTAKTA


 New York, Sept, 13--A few days ago there was q local celebration of ths tooth anniversary of the occasion when Robert W. Fulton's 23O-fcot steamer Clermont, went pufing up tho Hudson River at five miles an hour. Today New Workers turned out to welcome Q steamer, the passengers of which breakfasted in Queenstown. Ireland, Sunday last and iunched In New York today. Both expertments. equally successful, were epoch making in the way of propulsiva power--the Cler- mont with her side paddles, and the Lusitania with her dnadruple turbines.
 The voyage of the Lusitania waa irn- portant in that it was test of tho most modern propulsive power. This is the view taken by her owners. who are satisfied that the practicaotlity or the turbine for fast vessels has been demonstrated, and that this new de- parture in English building has been justified. The fact that the Lusitania was able to cross the Att iantic in Ave days and fifty-four min utes and was able on her maiden trip nearly to equal the best trans-Atlantio record, Is held of secondary import ance. Officials of the line said tonight that she had done all that was ex- peoted of her without having bsen pushed to make a record, and they
  when called upon, to make the fasoesc voyage across the Atlantic.
 Heretofore, 1t was pointed out. tur~ pines have been constructed for nnod- crate speed. but on the Lusftanfa ana her sister ship. the Manretania, built with the greatest Government subsidy ever paid, was staked the British hope that turbine-driven vessels would prove not only the most eomfortables but the swiftest liners afioat
 Ernest Cunard. a director of the lines who was a passenger on the Lusitania. said:
 q came over to watch the working of the ship in order to see if we could improve the Mauretania. now nearing completion find that I shall have no suggestions to make.
 From the time the Lusitania sailed from Queenstown at noon Sunday. un- til she came through the New Am brose Channel and reached her new pIer at noon today, the steamer be- haved excellently. Chief Engineer Duncan said:
 saThe engines did beautifully, mak- ing the trip without hitch. We will surely make an average of twenty-five knots soon. Her coal consumption was not excessive"
