Washington. April %. The permit

onetime Hamburg rg-American liner and
now an auxiliary cruiser Of he Ger
man imperial navy, is about hall ex-
pired. and although no indication has
been received at the Treasury or Navy

from that pursued by Commander

rich, there Is more than a suspicion

favorable.
Rainy weather is overdue in Chesa-
peake Bay, for never since the estab-
lishment of the Weather Bureau, in
1871. has Virginia known so dry a
Spring. This. and the fact that the
Kronprinz is more than four knots
faster than the Prinz Eitel. and at
least as fast as any of the enemy ships
lying IN wait for her, support the
theory.
