Nation Thanks McAdoo.

New York.--Nine days have necn
cut from the ocean trip between
New York ard Valparaiso, Chile, by
the new passenger steamers plying
between under the United States ship
ping board. They are the first steam
ers to carry the American flag on that
route and have cut the time from
twenty to eighteen days. The
appreciation Of the Chilean govern
nent is shown in a cableRram re-
ceived recently by Secretary McAdoo,
signed by Daniel Feliu. Chilean min
lister of foreign relations. who sfys:
Speaking on behalf OF his excel
lency the president of the republic, |
beg your exccllency to he good

sion OF gratitude of the government OF
Chile for tho friendly effort OF YOUR
exceilency which has been effective
in maintaining the service OF the
United States government line to
Chile a line which furnishes so strong
bond between the United States and

Active prosecution of the war de-
mands troor ships OF 900 to $1,000
tons and upward. with speeds OF fiji
teen knots and upward an hour. Such
steamships are readily converted into
ombination freight and passenger
carriers for service on regular rout"%
Indeed, regular service, backed NV
close cooperation of shippers. is
needed to make these large vessels
profitable. as they cannot compete
with the ocean tramp steamship of
s 900 TO 5000 tons. twelve 10 fourteen
knots an hour. which in normal times
are employed chiefly for charters
from port to port, according to the
demand for slow tonnage.
On the other hand. larger aud
faster passenger ships OF small freight
capacity. such as are kept busy be-
tween this country and Europe in
normal times, are not profitable in
Latin American or Pacific traffic.
'yEr is. therefore. providing the ideal
type of shin for Latin Anne rican pas
senger and freight traffic on rsgu-
lar routes. and from the standp ut
CT military necessity It may be advis-
able for tho United States government
to maintain such ships in Latin Amer
lean service so that the country's en-
larged military establishment may al
ways have troop ships available in
emergency.
