Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ Ol’ New York By RAYMOND CARROLL (Copyright, 1222, by Pabtta Ud| Company.) ■— ■

vfiW YORK, May 18.—The arrival of monster palace ship Majestic turned the miml to the sea and the war, for had not been for the war the Majestic 'iuld have docked at the old North GerLloyd piers in Hoboken ns the BisBnrck, instead of turning her sky-high T>r<w in at the White Star piers on the Manhattan shore. Renaming her so as to end in “ic"—the traditional sigu of the White Star line —and a blotting out the ••mark" (not a bad pun at that) do not eradicate the consciousness that this, the world's largest ship, is of German craftsmanship and a most visible evidence of the genius of Teutonic artisanß. I cannot imagine a sadder sight to a German than this marvel of the deep lost to Germany through the fortunes of war entering the ehh-f port of the United States dying the British Union Jack. And what a ship she is—a floating town, with homes for 5,200 persons—4,loo passengers and 1.100 crew. If the hull of the Bismarck, beg pardon, the Majestic, were stood on end beside the Woolworth building It would tower 104 feet above tbchampion skyscraper. Four times orou .and the promenade deck is a mile. Two New York subway trnins could pass abreast through one of her three smokestacks. To Journey from the upper deck to the lower hold by electric elevators one must pass nine different decks. In her interior fittings the Majpstlc Is the perfect symbol of sybaritic—again the “jo"—luxury, and Winfield M. Thompson, the perfumed voice of the White Star line, has summarized them: a palm court like the fashionable promenade of a Kuropean watering place: an ala carte restaurant with the Continental style of cooking nnd service; a special cardronm for bridge and other socially approved card games; a smoking room situated under the navigating bridge; a gymnasium and a pompeian swimming bath of S2O square feet area and four to nine feet deep; a lounge seventy-six by fifty-seven feet.

Germany, however. Is starting again at the bottom of the gangplank in shipping. The North German Lloyd has three small boats In the American trade carrying no first cabin passengers, only 1.400 second cabin and steerage about equally diivded.

Star as the Homeric. The old HamburgAmerlcan line has five small ships on the American run from Germany, which with the triple-screw twins, Reliance and Resolute, operated by the United American lines, have a total carrying capacity for about 12.000 passengers, less than 1.000 of them first cabin. Thus have the mighty fallen. The rush to Europe is on. The Indications of castbound travel as booked are terrific up until tue latter part of J'uly. Two features are outstanding this year. Never In the history of overseas travel has there been either such a number of Americans determined to holiday in Europe or such a variety and volume of accommodations. Lower Broadway is full of people rushing about getting their passports vised for foreign countries. Belgium and Switzerland being the exceptions, as they require no vises. When one counts the cabins on the various lines, the total Is staggering even to contemplate. arid the most of the first and second cabins have been sold for weeks. I have before me a recapitulation of the one-trip carrying capacity of the seventyeight principal passenger ships operated by the International Mercantile Marine,

The Cunard stands next with twenty ships ready and willing, including those In the Anchor Line Service at Glasgow, with a total capacity for nearly 30,000 passengers. An expert figurer for the company said today his line would clear about 4,41X1 a week on the regular sailings for England and France of three ships through the entire eastward rush period.

The French line —two magnificent ships, the Paris and the France, the former with a capacity of 565 in first cabin and the latter with 540. There are eight additional ships In this French service, including four fast mail boats. It was figured out that the French line floats in the north Atalntic for the American travel the equivalent of a city of 16.721, of which 1,674 are first cabin, 3,161 second and 11.886 third class. Multiply the first and second classes by six and the third class by three and you can estimate the probable outflow of Americans on t’ Is line alone up to August. The Holland-American Line runs four large ships to Rotterdam via Plymouth and Boulogne, with a total cabin accommodation for 10,497 passengers. 1.517 first class, 1.750 second class and 7,200 steerage.

takes about the same number. Recently this all-American service renamed its fleet of “State” boats after the Presidents of the United States, some sailing for Bremen via Cobh (new name for Queenstown), others going to Bremen and then on to Danzig, and five direct to London. In the London service two boats hare been classified as one-price ships, with a minimum rate of $l2O, the idea being to give school teachers and students a first-class, reasonably-priced way to get to Europe. The Irish Free State and Germany appear to be getting the big play with the outbound. The revival of the Irish athletic games at Dublin In August, a desire to see Michael Collins and the call of “auld sod” are ascribed as the causes of the heavy Increase in travel to Ireland. As for Germany, I am afraid many
