Tike subject was touched upon the briefest terms in the company's annual report. Now a writer in one of the German newspapers ventures the statement that the vessel will not reach the size of the forthcoming White Star liners, but' will be half as large again as the George Washington, the new Nord-Deutscher Lloyd liner. This vessel has a gross register of about 27,000 tons, and that of the Olympic and Titanic is commonly talked of as 45,000 tons. If the assertion is correct that the new steamer will be half as large again as the George Washington, she will work out at 40,000 tons, or very little less than the Belfast leviathans. On the subject of speed, this German writer states that the new liner will perhaps steam faster than the George Washington, but that she will not aim to eclipse the German express steamers or the Cunard greyhounds.
