new Liner MAJESTIC HANGS up
new MARK FOR MAIDEN VOYAGES
believed FASTEST AEL0AT

New York. May 1e.-The Majestic,
mammoth new liner. warped into her
pier at 335 this afternoon after a trip
from England during which she broke
all existing records for maiden voy-
ages on the Atlantic.
Sir Bertram Hayes, her skipper, who
went to her bridge in successive steps
from cabin boy in the White Star Line
service, had not tried to put the Ma
jestice at top speed during the voyage.
For two days she had "loafed;" then,
speeding up as she ran into smoother
seas, she drove along at a 25.5O-knot
pace. hitting it up to IS on the last
leg from Fire Island to Ambrose
Lightship.
Just five days and &c hours after she
left Cherbourg. the Majestic whirled
past the lightship in cloud of spray
Then she slowed down to pick up her
pilot.
A tug footed vigorously three times
in welcome. The boom of the Males
tics whistle answered her. and other
ships waiting to welcome the new
liner took up the refrain.
Captain A. j. Petersen, veteran pi-
lot. climbed aboard the Majestic just
inside the lightship and brought her
in. AS the Majestic felt her way up
the channel the United States liner Re-
lance, outward bound, passed her. The
Reliance whistled the three saluting
blasts and dipped her colors. But a
few moments later as the Majestic.
which threatens to usurp all honors
for speed as we'll as size on the ocean,
was being turned around in Quaran-
tine, the Mauritania, the Cunarder
which is her nearest rival, sped out
to sea.
The four stacks of the Mauritania
were silent. There was no show of
colors. And the Majestic, with her
three stacks built close to the decks,
lying back to give her more speed and
power, broke cut in flag signals with
bon voyage" Two hundred feet be-
yond the newcomer, the Mauretania

and sped away.
shipping in New York harbor, liner
over 500 feet long turned in her own
length in Quarantine. Tugs fore and
aft did the trick, and by the effort the
Majestic saved at least half an hour in
her docking time.
Captains Petersen and Hayes put
the Majestic into her dock on a rising
tide but they failed to make a lIOWance
for the giant vessels momentum and
she crashed into the pier, shattcring
two sections and breaking several win
dows. She was directly off the dock
at 4.07. She was tied up and the first
persons were allowed to leave her at
AS.
"She did better than $3.50 knots on
an average" reported Captain Hayes,
land at no time were we using her full
boiler capacity. I held back purpose
~. 1 wanted to feel the ship. She is,
to my mind, certain to break all exist
ing records for speed afloat."
Only one thing married the trip. Sir
John Parton, London manager of the
White Star Co, with several English
engineers made the first voyage and
reported the Majestic's oil tanks were
not functioning quite right.
She came into port with pronounce
ed list to starboard but it was termed
over 10 days before she returns to
England, to undergo the repairs neccs-
sary to the tanks.

Washington, May 16.-Subsidics

American ship owners if an adequate
privately owned merchant marine is

Hinted Russian Situation May Be Clarified to
Warrant U. S. Participation Genoa
Session Saturday or Monday-No Desire to
Hurry Russian Reply Other Minor Cues
tons to Rest for Pre- sent
HOPE IN CABLE EXCHANGE

Washington, May 16.-There were
intimations today that administration
officials expected early developments
in Genoa or herhaps later at The
Hague which might clarity the Rus
sian situation sufficiently to permit
American participation in some in
ternational project designed to restore
Russia to productivity. On what in
formation that feeling might be bas-
cd was not indicated. 1t was evident
however, that the exchange of cabled
notes with the Genoa conference
group yesterday was regarded as nav
ing moved matters at least a step COR
ward so far as Russia is concerned
The only authorized statement go
ing beyond the terms of Secretary
Hughes notes declining the invitation
to the Hague was that obtained dur
ing the day at the White House, that
the note did not close the door to fu-
ture conversations on the subject. In
the light of that statement Mr..
Hughes assertion in the note to Cen
GA of the willingness of the United
States government ito give serious at
tention to any proposals issuing from
the Genoa conference or any later
conference" took on added signific-
ance.
There was no application of the
statement in the note that the Rus
sian memorandum to the Genoa pow
ers on May II disclosed an attitude on
the part of the Russian government
which, in the American opinion, des-
tined the Hague commission project
to the same difficulties that were fac
ed at Genoa. With that statement the
American note coupled the assertion
that in American opinion the reasons
for Russia'S economic plight seemed
reasonably clear without further ex-
animation by experts and that the
, remedies must lin the nature OF
things be provided within Russia
| herself"
! There was no development today Ia
indicate that the Washington admin
! istration had been diverted in the
slightest from the position it asserted
as to Russia a year ago. That posi-
| ton, in view of the more recent hap
penngs abroad appears still to be tina,
while the United States is not seeking
to concern itself with political ques
