LINERSTOWAGE SPEED BATTLE London, Sept. 2.—(U.R)—Tank ex-1 periments, with a scale model of! I the new 70,000 ton Cunard liner that is being built on the Clyde, indicate that the new vessel which is designed to recapture trans-Atlantic : speed honors from the Europa, will be capable of crossing the Atlantic lat between 29% and 30 knots an hour. From France, however, comes word that the gigantic new liner which is under construction at St. Nazaire for the Cie Gen. Trans-At-lantique, will be capable of a steadysea speed of -29 knots an hour, with something in reserve for attempts t.o establish record crossings of the Atlantic. Rivalry for speed honors between t the two liners will be keen. They i also will serve to make important .comparative tests of the relative | merits of Diesel motor and steam | propulsion for express liners, as | the French vessel is to have Diesel [ electric drive, while the British | liner will be driven by steam tur-
