London, Aug. 24.-The German
submarine Bremen, reported to be
proceeding to the United States. is
we'll on its way, according to an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from Co.
penhagen. The dispatch says Alfred
1ohmann, head OF the German Navi-
CATION company, which owns the Bre-
men, asserts he has received mes
sage from the submarine, and that ii
will arrive in America in a few days.
London, Aug. 24.-The departure
for America a week ago of the Ger
man submarine Bremen is reported
in dispatch from Bremen, as for
warded from The Hague by the Ex-
change Telegraph company. 1t is
said the owners Of the Deutschland
and the Bremen received word seven
days ago of the progress being made
by the Deutschland on its return
voyage, and it was not until they
had obtained this information that
they permitted the Bremen to depart.
The Deutschland tookNthe same
route on both its voyages, the dis
patch says, returning to Germany by
the North Sea. Captain Paul koe-
mig of the Deutschland is being feted
as national hero, and has been sum-
moned to Emperor Williams head
quarters to report on his voyage.
The Deutschland returned home
slightly damaged, according to an Ex-
change Telegraph dispatch from The
Hague, which says this information
is contained in a telegram from Bre-
men.
Another Confirmation.
Reports of the return of the Ger
man submarine Deutschland from the
United States are corroborated in a
telegram received at Amsterdam from
Bremen as forwarded by Reuters
correspondent. According to this in
formation the Deutschland Travelled
4 200 miles on its homeward voyage.
At the beginning the sea was tenpes-
tuous, but later it became more calm,
The. Deutschland proved to be able
to navigate the stormy seas excel
lently. Its engines worked faultless-
ly. No icebergs were passed on the
journey.
The American government, says
the dispatch, acted in correct man
ner as a neutral, enforcing respect for
its frontier from British and French
warships by the employment of its
own men-of-war. After a British
cruiser entered Chesapeake bay at
night, even more effective measures
were taken to enforce neutrality. No
less than eight British warhips, it is
said, were on the alert, surrounded
by numerous small American vessels
which had been chartered for the pur-
pose OF placing nets and obtaining in
formation as to the movement of the
Deutschland. Nevertheless the sub
marine succeeded in leaving unde-
tected. A distance of 100 miles was
traversed under water without diff
Guilty.
The Deutschland, German sui =
marine built for carrying merchan-
disc, arrived at Baltimore from
BremeIf on July 9, with cargo of
dyestuffs and mails Its arrival was
hailed in Germany as the beginning of
a regular submarine merchant serv-
ice between the United States and
Germany, which would be able to defy
the British blockade. 1t was an
nounced that it would be followed
shortly by the Bremen, sister ship
The Deutschland left Baltimore on
its return trip, August /. with cargo
of rubber and metal.

change was made to reduce docking
charges and denied reports that there
was any connection. between the
