ATLANTIC SAILINGS
■ AN UNPRECEDENTED POSITION LONDON, Nov. 8. So heavy have been cuts made in tin: ! fast Inins-Atlantic services during recent pionths that not a single British liner is available until a fortnight lienee to ; carry mails direct to New, York. Some delay in Canadian mails ordinarily dispatched via the United States is consequently inevitable. ’'.The last big British sailing was the Majestic on Wednesday, and the next will not* be until November 16, when the BeiTiigaria leaves. Meanwhile the German limy Bremen left lor New York on Saturday. Such a situation lias not arisen since -the , beginning of. tijie present century. ; Normally there are two fast British.sailings a week, and in .summer often three or four. Now. so great have been curtailments in B.vitish services that at the moment, the'Post Office is compelled to give profitable contracts to the German liners Europa and Bremen. There is much, irritation here among business men, who claim their interests are suffering by decays. ,
