MeetCompetition
Two New Passenger Liners
and Two Freighters Are
Allocated to the Admiral
Line for Japanese Trade

Plans for the operation Of new YES
sells allocated by the Shipping Board
to the Pacific Steamship Company, the
Admiral Line, have been made with the
view of meeting the competition of
Japanese ships and of furnishing ade-
quate services between the United
States and the Orient under the Amer
lean flag. The board, according to an
announcement by Chairman A. D.
Lasker, has decided that the Pacific
routes are included in the strategic
traoe services which must be main
tanned by the government under the
PROVISIONS Of the Jones act.
The Admiral Line is now rushing
preparations for the extensions Of
service made possible by the ALLEGATION
OF two new passenger liners and the
charter of two Shipping Board freight
ers. One of the first steps. according
to officials of the company, will be the
inauguration of bi-monthly schedule
OF sailings between Seattle and orr
entail ports. 1t is understood that plans
are being made to establish service
between Puget Sound and Vladivostok

Siberia Justify this move.
Pine Tree State in Service

arrive in Seattle by way of the Panama
Canal toward the end of November and
has been designated for the December
10 sailing to begin the bi-monthly nas-
senger service. The Bay State will be.
gin it's maiden voyage in the Oriental s ia
service January 7. Both of these are
sister ships of the Silver State. which
on its first trip recently established a
record of nine days eighteen hours and
thirty-five minutes between Yokohama
and Puget Sound.
Applcatlons for steerage reservations
on the big Shipping Board vessels in
service between Puget Sound and the
Orient have increased to such an
extent during the last three month 9
that the Admiral Line has been rom.
PEELED to request the board to enlarge
the accomm odations for Asiastic pas
sengers, the company has announced
Hundreds of Chinese apply for
passage at each sailing. Each shins
operated by the Admiral Line has
steerage accomm odations for approxi-
mately 300 passengers, but basine their

Romance Crossing
Polish Frontier
Traveller Tells of Trials at
German and P olishCustom
Houses andDefendsLatter
Against Teutonic Charges

LONDON. Sept. I3 (By MaiN.-
There is something romantic in the
tedious crossing OF the frontier from
Germany into Poland. writes Rothay
Reynolds in THE Daily Mail"
1.-The instant you cross the German
frontier you will realize that the Poles
cannot govern themselves said a Ber-
liner, to whom I happened to say that
I was going to Poland. Instead of
German order and German cleanliness
you will find Polish chaos and Polish
dirt
~ remembered this when the train
from Berlin arrived at the frontier and
stopped at place called Stensch, a
disagreeable name. but quite good
enough for a place with custom
house. The Germans kept US there for
two hours TO look at our luggage and
passports, and several hundred persons
amiahle official, l kept mine and 900
cigarettes.
The train took US and our interest
ing passports and baggage across the
frontier fer the Poles TO see, and
prepared myself for the confusion of
which had been told.
1.-The Poles would not let you keep
one single cigarette said a German.
"He was wrong. The Polish official
was as obliging as the German. There
was nothing to choose between Polish
order and German order. Everything
was the same as it had been at Stensch,
and the same people lost their tempers
all over again.
"And for me, the tedious crossing of
the frontier was a romance. l had not
gone into Poland this way since 1905
Then the train from Berlin went
through camoufiaged stations with Ger
man names and German notices, so that
the supe rfcial traveller had no sort of
idea that he was going through coun-
try inha bited by Poles and not by Ger
mans. The frontier was then at Alex
androwo, which is now in the heart of
Poland.
ITO find the lands which a Prussian
King stole, the lands where men with
out arms have for century and half
resisted the attempt to make them Ger
mans, the lands where Bismarck had
children fogged to make them say their
prayers in German instead of in the
tongue they had learned at their
mothers knees, to find those lands re-
stored to the governance of the people

Hanley to Carry Wheat

The Hanley, one of the two Shipping
Board freighters, chartered by the
Admiral Line, under the bare boat
charter plan, is expected to arrive
October 10 to take on the first cargo
of bulk wheat ever loaded here for
Great Britain and Europe. The other
chartered ship, the Abercos, formerly
operated by the Admiral Line as an
allocated vessel, will load a similar
cargo at Portland, and sailed for the
United Kingdom on Friday.
The two ships are the first govern
ment-owned vessels to be turned over
to private operator for off shore
service under the bare boat charter
plan. The charters were negotiated
in Washington by A. F. Haines, vice
president and general manager OF the
Admiral Line, who imm ediately after
ward closed contract to move ap-
proximately 10000 tons of North
western, wheat to Europe.
Both vessels are new. The Han
ley, registering 1890 gross tons,
with speed Of 1915 knots, was built
last year in San Francisco. The
Abercos, of 5000 tons, was built also
in 1920
Municipal elevators will be used for
loading the wheat both at Seattle and
at Portland.
The chartering of the two vessels for
the huge wheat movement marks the
entry of the Admiral Line into Euro
pean trade via the Panama Canal, and
before leaving Washington Mr..
Haines indicated that additional char
ters would be effected as soon as con-
dltions warranted such action.

MEXICAN OIL EXPORTS.

message from Tampico regarding Mexican oil
exports says:
Petroleum exports from Mexico in July amounted
to less than 5sooooo barrels, according to figures
which were available on July %. OF that amount,
about 900 900 barrels refined products from the
Mexican Eagle Company. The volume of crude
ports was cut about per of normal. The
monthly average for the year about I6666,667
barrels Judging from the shppinA activity, the oil
situation remains the same it the first of
the month. The volume Of oil which has gone out
has been fairly uniform. Some of the buyers
paying the increased taxes their contracts call for
the payment of export duties. The Eagle Companys
Shipments by far the largest of any of the shippers,
largely refined products from the local plant The
Mexican Gulf Oil Company is shipping its products
to the Port Arthur refinery. The Freeport ranking
next the shipping list OF crude, has contracts to
supply con,u with certain amount Of oil Dur

for the time being. The organization has done no

situation appears to be that the Russians have be-
come disconnected with this indirect way of doing
business and have abandoned the clearing house idea

ations will be resumed

BRIrAIN's OIL IMPORTS.

The Eoficial statistics for the first six months Of
1921 show that the British petroleum import trade
during that period was considerably greater than il
was for a similar period during any other recent
year However it is stated that these figures do not
show the total expansion because the stocks of oil
fuel are unusually low in the United Kingdom. The
total petroleum imports fof the first six months of
this year are given as sa4sJ82so gallons, valued at
f32.677Io4 The total for the first six months of
1910 was 3o82oo836 gallons. The amount of lubr-
eating and gas oils received smaller this year
than last. During the first six months oil fuel inn
ports haze been upon scale before attempted
in peace times, and is probable that these receipts
will keep on increasing because Of the elaborate
preparations that are being made even greater
quantities of oil instead OF COAL The figures show
that in the last, seven years the consumption of
petroleum products in the United Kingdom has
doubled.
