LONDON, April 3.-Ihe Edinburgh Scots
man says that the owners Of the Lustana
and Mauretsnia are keenly disappointed
that the speed Of the two steamships has
not averaged anything like what was e1-
pected IL Ia doubted whether, compared
with less costly vessels, they are worth the
money that has been expended on them.
II is is the opinion freely expressed in
shipping circles, and unless they make
better records during the coming season
il is not improbable that the Treasury will
have something to say. II is known that
the Admiralty is dissatisfied.
Under the terms OF the agreement be-
tween the Government and the Cunard
company the company is to receive sub
sidy Of t75O,O year II the steamships
give reasonable evidence Of having main
tanned an average speed on the Transatlantic
trip OF 2IIl knots. II they can maintain
a speed OF 23ll knots the subsidy will he
reduced.
II they do not reach 2S1i the Admiralty
will consider them Of no special service.
The remarks in the Scotsman we're read
at the Office Of the Cunard line here with
mingled amusement and amazement. The
officials wondered where the inspiration
came from, and suspected that il was not
from sources friendly to the line.
IF the owners OF the Mauretania and
the Lusitania are disappointed. the dis
appointment does not stretch to this side
OF the Atlantic II was said. "The fact
is that both ships have shown their abil-
ity TO do in calm weather all that they
were expected TO do.
The line, according to the contract. is
TO receive t75O0OO a year provided the
ships average on only one round trip 1850
knots. That they are capable Of doing
this il beyond question. Even under ad-
verse weather conditions the Mauretania,
on a recent trip TO the eastward averaged
2442 knots, and the Lustania, coming
this way in November, averaged 2i25 knots.
On two days OF recent tTiD to the west
the Lusitania made respectively 625 and
627 knots, which is an average Of a trihe
more than twenty-five knots.
"We have no doubt that both ships will
he able TO keep this average all the way
across when the seas are smooth. You
may be sure that they will fulfil all expec-
tations in the summer. The seas have
