Everill William Frazier LUSITANIA BREAKS ALL REC- ORDS. The Cunard turbine liner Lusitania on her latest 'westward trip smashed all records from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook, even eclipsing. her sis-_ ter, the Mauretania, which is generally regarded as the faster of the two. The Lusitania had Daunt's' Rock abeam at 11:35 A. M. Sunday and passed the Sandy Hook lightship at 255 A. M.

Incidentally she smashed all records by the way, not only for the fastest voyage, highest average, but greatest daily speed as well. On Wednesday she made 632 knots, surpassing by five knots the previous record of 627 knots, her hourly average for this day being 26 1/3. knots.

The fog was a bitter disappointment to the Cunard Co: IMPROVEMENT OF RIVERS AND HARBORS. The members of the National Rivers anl Harbors Congress gave a dinner at the Hotel Astor in New York last week to a number of newspaper and magazine men in pursuance of the pol- icy of that organization to awaken public sentiment to the need of con- certed action in the development of rivers and harbors. Congressman Jo- seph E. Ransdell presided. The prin- cipal speaker was Congressman E. C. Ellis of Kansas: City, who has. a_ bill before the present congress for the establishment of 'a separate depart- ment for the completion and improve- ment of waterways. He said in part: "The lack of a national policy has been the cause of the opposition of waterway appropriations. It accounts for the criticism which has manifested itself in certain quarters at intervals. There have been two pronouncements, and two only, by the two great politi- cal parties respecting the nation's wa- terways. The Republican party put a plank in its first national platform advocating improvements on a national scale of rivers and harbors. The Dem- Ocratic party put a similar plank in its last national platform. Neither party has ever really championed the cause of our waterways. Neither party has ever appealed to the people in their behalf. "Again, so far as inland waterways are concerned, little. very little, has been done hitherto which has had the
