Floating flats for millionaires are the latest luxury in transatlantic travel, and the vessel on which, it is understood, the provision will be marie is the new Cunarder Aqui tania. which will be launched on the Clyde about December and put in commission in the spring or early summer of next year. The Aquitania will be the largest ves i sei flying the British flag, and probably the largest in the world. “Probably” because the Hamburg-American line has another leviathan on the stocks which is said to be even bigger than the Im perator. which now heads the list of the world's big ships. fashion in ocean travel changes pe riodically, and the decision to build flats on the Aquitania is said to be the out come of a growing tendency among fam ilies, especially English families, to live on board exactly as they would at home. Already there are in some of the Cu narders a series of walled-off recesses wrhere it is possible for families to take their meals by themselves. "Flatland afloat” is simply an elaboration ot this system of private suites. Liverpool at present has no dock that will be able comfortably to hold the Aquitania. and the Mersey dock and harbor board is hastening on the con struction of the new Gladstone dock at Keaforth. which is to be opened by the king in July of next year. There will be ample accommodation for the new Cunarder in this dock, and the sugges tion has been made that on the occa sion of the royal visit the king should enter it on one of the largest and latest Atlantic liners. In the absence of official confirmation, it is not unreasonable, to suppose that the vessel selected for this honor will be the Aquitania PLAN TO BUY COTTON ON STREETS IN COLUMBUS COLUMBUS. GA..
