Last week eight big tugs pushed the now completely restored Europa from her Hamburg dock to undergo three days of sea trials. Before the eyes of thousands of cheering schoolchildren, the Mayor and Corporation of Hamburg and STIMMING himself, dynamic little butterball director of the N. G.

But the French Line now has under construction a ship designed to be bigger than the Leviathan or Majestic, faster than the Bremen, and German hearts are sore that Frenchmen are about to worst them.
