ROTOR SHIP WINS
AGAINST STEAMER
Beats TWin-ScreW Vessel in
Run, Danzig to Holtenau,
by Five Hours.
BY JAMES b. WHARTON,


Special Correspondent of The Star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance.
HOLTENAU, Germany, February 9.
through heavy seas and
harassed by head on winds, Anton
Flettner's fantastic rotorship has
scored its first victory over steam
power. 1t was learned today that the
Buckau arrived at Holtenau yester-
day, from Danzig, five hours ahead of
the twin screw steamer Tondren,
which left Danzig at the same time.
The test, which was the first real
tryout Of the seaworthiness and fuel
saving possibilities of the Buckau,
demonstrated not the superior per-
formance of rotor equipment alone
but the efficiency of combined rotors
and power, as the Buckau was COM
PEELED to use its auxiliary engines.
Officials of the Germania VERT, con-
structors of the Buckau, said today
they were thoroughly satisfied with
the performance of the rotorship on
her three-day voyage. The ship Is be-
ing ovehauled today and Will proceed
tomorrow through the Kiel canal, and
across the North Sea to Scotland. Will
helm Heberling. chief engineer of the
Germania VERT, inspected the vessel
and expressed the opinion that the voy-
the rotor principle.
To Determine Ecenomic Value.
Its economic value remains to be
determined he said, ''as but half the
cargo voyage has been made and the
data Is not sufficient to justify con-
clusion as to actual efficiency"
The fuel economy Of the rotorship
is calculated over a wide range to
be from II to so per cent When
auxiliary power is used only the min
imum saving is achieved. Without
auxiliary power the maximum is
achieved, the remaining 20 per cent
being used to turn the rotors.
During the voyage from Danzig 1t
was necessary to use the auxiliary
motor virtually during the entire
voyage. due to the foul weather. If
fair weather Is met in the North Sea,
it is hoped the voyage may be made
without auxiliary power. However,
no unnecessary tackS will be taken
to achieve this purpose.
Planning Larger Ships.
Although no definite contracts
have been made with the Germania
Werft for the construction of other
ships, as previously reported, the
company, which is a subsidiary of the
Krupp concern, is planning on paper
the construction of two, four, six and
eight thousand ton rotorships, with
rotors twice the size of those of the
Buckau and five times their height
The Buckaus rotors are about 10 feet
thick and SO feet high.
Heberling believes the maximum
value of the rotor principle will be
attained with ships of far greater
size than the Buckau, which is only
900 tons.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 10.--The jurisdic-
ton Of the French courts in divorce
cases between American citizens hav-
ing only transitory domiciles IN
France was upheld today with the
dismissal Of a demurrer filed by Mrs.
oliver Burton, nee Jolfe, to a suit
instituted by her husband two months
ago.
The Burtons were married at Long
Branch, N. j., September. 1920. The

Burton, although ne might have legal
domicile in France, had no real resi-
dence here, which was merely ac-
quired for the purpose of filing the
divorce suit"
The court, in dismissing the de-
murrer. declared itself competent to
hear the case and permitted the hus-
band to enter proceedings next

the costs Of her appeal against Mrs.
