Hanscona Expects Better
Pacific Passenger Trade

Passenger traffic on American ships
to the Orient is improving and prom
Uses rapid increase in the future, ac-
cording to D. ]. Hanscom, foreign pas
senger manager for the Admiral Line,
who arrived in New York yesterday on
u tour of Eastern cities. Mr.. Hanscom
has already visited Washington, Baiti
more and Philadelphia, and will shortly
go to Boston and then to interior
points.
Due to the demand for more frequent
saiiings from Seattle, the Admiral
Line in December would begin sched-
ule of departures every twelve instead
Of fourteen days, Mr.. Hanscom said.
This will be accomplished by cutting
down the time of the liners in port.
The Admiral Line, operating five Of
the president" ships for the Shipping
Board, faces keen competition from the
Canadian Pacific Company, with its
Empress" vessels from Vancouver.
The Canadian Pacific is offering an ex-
cellent service, Mr.. Hanscom says, but
80 far has not seriously cut into the
business of the Admiral Line, chiefly
because the new Canadian vessels have
not shown the speed for which they
were intended. He said that the En-
press of Canada, designed for "a knots,
actually maintained only 1917, while
the Empress Of Australia was making
16 knots, compared with 1S before the
war. The American vessels, he added,
had q maintained speed Of 171a knots.
