Protest May Be Made.
The general disposition here previ-
ouslv had been % ridicule the posi-
bility OF the feat; consequently the
news came almost as a shock. Hign
admiralty officials, however, expressed
Themselves as "left quite cold"
According to their view, if Germany
has got the submarines there Is no
reason why one shouldn't arrive at
New York every day. At the same time
II is expected the British government
will make emphatic and immediate pro-
test to the United States If the
Deutschland remains in port over TWEEN
ty-four hours. The view held here is
that all neutrals ought to follow the
practice Norway has pursued during
the war and not allow belligerent SUBJ
marines in harbors under any pretext.
In official circles the greatest interest
centred in the question whether the
submarine was armed or carried tor
pedoes. As 70 the voyage and the pro-
posal to establish a line of submarines
between Germany and America, no ap-
prehension found expression. II was
remarked by way of consolation that
in view Of the repeated voyages Of both
British and German submarines TO the
Eastern Mediterranean the crossing OF
the Atlantic by a craft of this type was
not to be considered an unusual feat.
THE surprising thing is that It was
not done before" said one official. who
added that there was no reason why
submarines should not get through the
North Sea unless they meet with a
mishap."
