London, Feb. 26.-That greater
ans-Atlantic liners than the Aqui-
tania, the Leviathan or the Bis
narck are certain to develop with
an era of keen competition in the
near future was the prophecy made
to the Journals correspondent today
by well known ship designer. Amer
lea, it is believed, will set the pace
not only in the actual building of
ocean super -greyhounds but also in
the matter of luxurious appurten-
ances.
Announcement by the Cunard Line
that southampton is to be its chief
home port for transatlantic traffic
has aroused much interest here, es-
pecially in shipping quarters, where
it is viewed not only as an urgent
measure to replace the German lines
but to meet American competition.
To Make Voyage Quicker.
Clipping hours from the New York
to London time table is cnsidered to
be one of the plans of transatlantic
steamship lines in the future. 1t is
now considered that the return to
peace time conditions make this ah-
solutely essential as Americq has
been drawn close to European af-
fairs.
For long time 1t is expected that
travellers will boycott German pas
senger ships, but the Germans will
make magnificent inducements to re-
gain their lost hold. Speed and com
fort will therefore be even more in
ducements' of the big transatlantic
companies, and Yankee ingenuity in
both these matters is feared.
1t Is now generally believed by
shipbuIlders here that the standard
lied liners will not have any effect
on the building of big vessels. Stand
ardized vessels, it is contended, will
be used principally for freight car
rying. The demand of competition
will be so severe that the companies
will have to build super-liners to at
tract travel.
Nothing yet has been done to es-

peace with Germany prevent the sub

to decide certain matters on which its
military advisers are unable to agree,
which will include the points involved
nthe naval policy of the conference,
as outlined in these dispatches yester-
day, and the final disposition OF the
war vessels taken from Germany,
which France wants to preserve but
which America and Britain believe

'FLU' CAUSE OF
BRITISH DECISION
Especial Gable Dispatch to the New
York World and Albuquerque
Journal.

JDufIldls
London, Feb. 26.--InfuenZa has
tilted the scales in favor of more
drink for Britons. For some time
past the government has wavered on
the question of more whiskey and
spirits, knowing there would be q
great outcrS from the prohibitionists
IL any big supply of whiskey is freed
from bond but the influenza epidemic,
which doctors say can best be COM
bated with whiskey, made certain the
decision to release 80 per cent, more
of the high proof spirits, Neverthe-
less, the doctors say er-indulgence
will make a person more susceptible,
and to be an effective preventive the
whiskey should be taken only at
home. To expose ones self to open
air afterward reduces It's potentiali-
ties. The prohbitonists assert the
government has taken advantage of
the Influenza epidemic really to meet
the widespread demands for more
liquor Great Britain will in the inn
mediate future have more whiskey
and beer than at any time since the
second year of the war.

Washington, Feb 26.--President
Wilson told members of the congress
sional foreign relations committee to-
night that unless the United States
entered the league of nations the
league would fall and chaos and tur-
mol beyond description would result

conference.
Discussion of the constitution as
presented to the peace conference was
said to have been quite general and
the president was questioned closely,
especially by Senator Brandegee of
Connecticut. Republican Leader
Lodge and Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, formerly secretay of state, took
little part
The president after making an
opening explanatory statement. an
swered all questions freely and spe-
officially emphasized that his guests
were free to discuss the conference
and all its information with newspa-
per men or others.

was spent was whether n nation once

armenia Urges Quick
Decision on Its Status

PARIS, May 4.-The Armenian Ma
tional Conference, which met here last
week, in an appeal to the people Of the
Allied nations. insists upon the neces-
slty for speedy solution of the Arme-
nian question and expresses the hope
that the peace conference will make It
possible for the Armenians to realize
their wish for an Independent state.
The Armenian territory beyond the
Caucasus, it is added, has formed itself
into republic and is willing to Join
With an independent greater Armenia.
The Armenian territory of Cilicia.
which is occupied by Allied troops, is
proving haven for the Armcnians
sent into exile to Mesopotamia.
The appeal says that the provinces
OF Turkish Armenia, where the Arme-
mans were treated most cruelty. are
not yet liberated and the exiles from
those provinces are unable to return
to their homes. 1t adds that thousands
Of women and children are still held
prisoners by the Turks and that the
Turks continue to excite the population
against the Armenian Christians.
