DEAN RATE WAR ON ATLANTIC
 LOOMS
CUNARD LINE PLANNING CON- SEDUCTION OF FLEET OF OIL BURNERS EACH SHIP EQUIPPED WITH BUT ONE FUNNEL

LONDON, Jan. 18.-A vast scheme for improved ocean travel between America and England is outlined by the Cunard Steamship Company, on such scale as to indicate an im- pending rate war that will make business and sightseeing trips abroad markedly cheaper next year.
 Oil is the keynote of the new ship7 ping campaign. It means cheaper transportation traffic. A fleet of prewar proportions, all oil burners, with but one funnel.
 This enables more accommoda- ton to be devoted to passengers be- cause of the incorporation in the de- aign of the latest developments in marine engineering" the Cunard an- pouncement said.
 Then the company adds the strik- ing, prophetic announcement:
 "It may be only a brief step from one funnel to no funnel at all" New traffic plans are announced as follows:
 Express service, Southampton 1 Cherbourg, New York weekly Ber- engaria, 52,OO0 tons; Mauretania, 31,- 900, the worlds fastest liner; and Auuitania, 46,O00 tons.
 Direct service between Britain and | Canada to be resumed. Liverpool Queenstown Quebec, Montreal ser vice: Tyrrhenia. 17000. carrying first, second and third class passen- gers: Ausonia, 15,000, carrying first and third class only; Albania, 13,0OO tons, carrying cabin passengers only Southampton, Cherbourg, Canadian service: Adania and Antonia, both ! 15.0OO tons and carrying first and third class passengers
 i The Liverpool, Queenstown and Boston route is to be re-opened by the Laconia, of 10000 tons, carrying l three classes of passengers. The Sa- mara. of the same tonnage both be- 1 ing sister ships of the Scythia, which is now in service, will be added tc ! the Liverpool Queenstown and New 1 York service, making practically a weekly service between Liverpoo and New York.
 Cunard's continental service vii 1 be increased by the addition of the { Caronia. of 10000 tons. to the Ham, ! burg New York service.
 Cross Atlantic rates have quadru. Dled in four years. The down grade has now been reached. It is ever possible that pre-war prices will be quoted if the shipping war eventu. ates on the scale that appears to be 1 indicated

that in those days the sexagesmal

That sixty system was largely used

times and the sixteenth century, an(
was practically universal from 1906

was invented. The game then wa:
