largest ship
flying the
Uni-
ted
States
flag
docked
yesterday
after
her trial
trip to Cuba
and
back
Ship-
ping Board
officials immediately
broad-
casted
records for speed
which she
gained
on her trial
run.
They
claimed
a
new
record
of 27.48
knots
an
hour
fora
25
hour period
as against
the record
held by
the Mauretania of 27.04 knots for the same
p-rind.
They
all elaimed
a record
of 28.
04 knots
an hour for
one hour.

London,
June
24th.— Addressing
a
large congregation
in the Bapust
Church
Chapel
here
today
Mr.
Lloyd
George
made
some
interesting
observations
re-
garding
the
prohibition
situation in the
United
States.
During
his
discourse
he
made it
apparent
that
he
did not share
the views of
certain
Dritish newspapers
concerning
the
lack
of right of the
Uni-
ted
States
authorities
to
seize
liquor
asoard
ships.
‘I hope
we
wont
get
e ccited
over the seizure
of liguor in New
ork
harbour.
It is
not
merely
that
{merica
seems
ito
be
well
within
her
rights,
but I think
we ought
to extend
a
certain
measure
of sympathy
to her
in
her
difficulties.
America
is
making
a
very
bold
experiment
to
deal with
