as liberal treatment as possible
for Americans caught bearing

tanned in a statement made here

In substance 1t is indicated that
the captured American allies of
the roVoiutionists will have to take
their chances with their Mexican
rebel companions. The intiration
is strong that no preferential treat.

This is considered to mean that

The cost Of the competition for the su-

with the growth in size and speed of the
liners. When the old Collins liners were
projected the business world marveled at
the extravaganza Of spending 100000 on
a single steamship. Each advance in size
or speed since then has been attained at
an increasing outlay. The cost Of the
huge liners that bear the palm today Is
close to 10000. This is a very tidy
sum to be expended, far exceeding the
record for size by few feet or clipping

For nearly three-quGrters of a century
the story of transatlantic navigation has

been the record of an unendins race for
leadership. In no other business in the
world has competition over a long period

with keen interest by the general public
How tremendous the growth of the
transatlantic steamship has been may
be appreciated by d comparison of some
of the earlier liners with those of the
present day. The first vessel with steam
equipment to cross the Atlantic was the
Savannah. which made the voyage from

date be brought below four days by spe-

While the race for speed supremacy
has been going merrily on. the compe-
tition between Atlantic steamships has
followed two other lines-those Of in
creasing size and increasing luxury. The
result has been q steady succession Of
larger. costlier and more luxuriously
equipped vessel. Ten years ago the
swift Deutschland, 6S6 feet long and cost
ing more than any liner ever built up
to that time, was put into service. Ma
rine experts then announced that the
700-foot liner marked the limit of prac-
tical size for the reason that harbor and
pier accommodations were not sufficient
for larger boats. The progress has con-
tinued with unabated viSor. however.
