INFORMATION BUREAU
LETTERS, CABLES AND TELEGRAMS
Letters, telegrams, etc., for passengers will be brought on board before the passengers land. Passengers should personally ascertain whether there are any letters, telegrams, etc., for them before disembarking, and they are invited to leave their address at the Information Bureau for later dispatches to be redirected and forwarded.
Cables, telegrams, etc., are received at the Information Bureau for dispatch. Cables, telegrams, etc., should be handed in an hour before the arrival at any port of call. ONLY OFFICERS ON DUTY IN THE INFORMATION BUREAU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT TELEGRAMS, CABLES, ETC., FOR DISPATCH.
PACKAGES & BAGGAGE SHIPMENTS IN EUROPE
On account of unsettled conditions, passengers are advised to carry all packages, principally small parcels and baggage with them to the port of embarkation. There is an incredible delay in forwarding such packages from one country to another.
The customs regulations change frequently and even if duty is prepaid, and the goods shipped grande vitesse, it seems to make little difference— such packages invariably arrive too late at the port of embarkation, causing not alone annoyance, but quite some additional expenses.
WIRELESS SERVICE
The long range wireless equipment permits the vessel communicating with all American and European stations. Rates on application at Information Desk.
Ocean Letters are accepted on board for transmission to a vessel bound in an opposite direction. They will be forwarded to destination by registered mail from first port of call after reception. A charge of $1.20, including postage, is made for twenty words and four cents for each additional word. The maximum Ocean Letter is 100 words.
VALUABLES
The United States Lines has provided a safe in the office of the Purser in which passengers may deposit money, jewels, or ornaments for safe keeping. The Lines will not be liable to passengers for the loss of money, jewels, or ornaments not deposited.
EXCHANGE OF MONEY
The Purser is prepared, for the convenience of passengers, to exchange a limited amount of money at rates which will be furnished on application. A receipt will be issued covering each exchange transaction.
TRAVELERS’ CHECKS
The United States Lines has placed on board its vessels American Express checks which may be secured from the Purser on application.
TRANSPORTATION ORDERS, ETC.
Passengers holding transportation orders via any steamship line or any railroad to any part of the world are invited to inquire of the Purser or any of the Lines’ Offices for information regarding them. Every assistance in securing reservations and bookings will be gladly tendered.
Attention is invited to other services now being operated by the United States Shipping Board. The Pursers will negotiate by wireless, without charge, and arrange for bookings, etc., via any of the United States Shipping Board services to all parts of the world.
SEATS AT TABLE
Passengers who have not arranged for seats at table should apply to the Chief Steward.
Passengers are requested not to smoke in the Dining Saloon and Social Hall.
DECK CHAIRS and STEAMER RUGS
These may be hired for the voyage on application to the deck steward, rental $1.50 each.
MEDICAL ATTENTION
The Surgeon is always at the disposal of those passengers requiring his services. In case of illness originating on board, or after the departure of the steamer, no charge will be made for these services, and such medicines as are prescribed by the Ship’s Surgeon will be furnished without expense to the passengers.
In cases of illness, not originating on board, the Surgeon is permitted to make the following charges:
- For office visits, $1.00 per visit
- For stateroom visits, $2.00 per visit, with a maximum charge of $4.00 per day
If passengers consider that the charges made by the Surgeon fot any services as he renders are improper or excessive, they are requested, before paying same, to take up the question with the Commander, and the bill will either be adjusted on a basis that will be satisfactory to the passenger, or withdrawn. The purpose of the United States Lines is to make this service satisfactory to all passengers.
RECEIPTS
Passengers are requested to secure a receipt on the special form of the United States Lines for any additional passage money or freight paid on board.
BAGGAGE
On disembarking passengers are specially requested to claim their baggage before leaving the Customs Offices, otherwise considerable delay and extra charge for carriage will be incurred in forwarding any unclaimed baggage. Passengers are requested to pack only steamer trunks for their staterooms, as it is not always possible to put larger trunks in rooms.
It is recommended that passengers insure their baggage, as the Lines’ liability is strictly limited in accordance with contract ticket. Baggage insurance can be arranged at any of the Lines’ offices.
Westbound passengers can arrange with the United States Lines’ offices in Europe for collection of baggage from hotel or residence and have such baggage placed aboard steamers at Southampton or Cherbourg. Arrangements have been made to have baggage stored at Paris or London and placed aboard steamer for passengers embarking at other ports.
DOGS
Passengers are notified that dogs cannot be landed in Great Britain without considerable delay unless a license has previously been procured from the Board of Agriculture, London. Forms of license must be obtained by direct application to this Department in London before the dog is taken on board.
AMERICAN CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
On the return trip, you! baggage will be subjected the same inspection on landing in America as on landing abroad. American Citizenship does not permit you to bring dutiable goods into the country without paying duty.
A “declaration** blank will be furnished you aboard the steamer before landing. This must be filled out, listing in detail every article you obtained abroad which you are bringing home. A 25 cent stamp is required to be affixed to the declaration. The stamps are on sale in the Purser’s office. The list is then given the purser’s office.

Passengers who have not obtained their European railway tickets are kindly requested to obtain same from the Purser. Special trains are provided when a sufficient number of passengers are booked to London.
DISEMBARKING AT CHERBOURG
In the event of the steamer not being able to land passengers sufficiently early to allow their reaching Paris before the early hours of the following morning, there are at Cherbourg comfortable hotels, which can accommodate anyone who wishes to stay overnight and travel to Paris during the daytime.
Hand-baggage is carried from the steamer to the tender by the stewards. Passengers are informed that from the time their hand- baggage is on the tender, they alone are responsible for it, and they must see that it is passed through the Customs and placed ,on the special train into their compartment. Hand-baggage is examined at Cherbourg. Trunks are forwarded to Paris, (Gare St. Lazare) where Customs Examination is made. It is necessary for passengers to be present or furnish keys for inspection.

SUGGESTIONS AND COMPLAINTS
Suggestions, complaints or criticisms of service or of personnel should be addressed to the General Manager, United States Lines, 45 Broadway, New York City.
CHANGING THE CLOCK
Between New York and London there is a difference in time of five hours, and as the sun rises in the East, as we say, when the ship is going eastward she meets sunlight earlier each day and thus gains time. Exactly how much is computed each day at noon, and the ship’s clocks are immediately set at the correct time for that longitude. On a vessel which makes the crossing in five days the clocks will be set ahead each day approximately an hour; on slower ships, of course, less. Going westward the clock is set back daily in similar fashion.
LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
Latitude means “distance north or south of the equator,” and longitude means distance from the Meridian at Greenwich—near London. Both are recorded in degrees, minutes and seconds. At the Equator a mintue of longitude is equal to a nautical mile, but as the meridians converge after leaving the equator, meeting at the Poles, the size of a degree becomes less. Sailing eastward a ship moves against the revolution of the earth, thus her course makes her gain time, while if she were sailing to the westward with the movement of the earth she would lengthen her time.
UNITED STATES LINES FREIGHT DEPARTMENT
All of the steamers operated by the United States Lines are combination freight and passenger ships. They are modern in every respect and some are equipped for carriage of considerable cargo under refrigeration.
The Docks in New York are of recent construction and modern in all equipment, offering facilities for loading direct from cars into steamer, eliminating any hauling, lighterage or transfer by trucks. This is especially advantageous to Western Shippers, and movement of through cargo consignments in carload lots.
Special attention is given to shipments of household goods, automobiles, etc.
