the rail and throwing one set Of
trucks from the track. It took large
crew Of men all day Wednesday to

London, Aug. ga new type of

THE small fighting machines are

that first experience they have been
developed and fitted with more and
more powerful engines until today the

find SMUGGLING PLOT
Mail Taken to and From Germany by
"Undcrground" System

New York, Aug. 25.-Behind rela-
lively insignificant smuggling case the
United States customs authorities have
discovered what appears to be an
underground system for the trans
ference of mail of at least a semi
official character between this coun-
try and Germany. By this system
large quantities of the correspondence
of the Deutsche Bank of Berlin has
been sent across the Atlantic to Copen-
hagen undisturbed by the British au-
thorities, and similarly, mail intended
for Representatives of the Deutsche
Bank here, Hugo Schmidt, has been
received from Copenhagen. without
having passed through the United
States postoffice.
BY his own admission under oath,
Herr Schmidt, who figured slightly in
the exposures as to German official
activity in this country, has paid the
men now accused of smuggling for
the carrying of this mail matter.
Hans Edward Thompson and Fred
Uffelman, both now in the Tombs on
a charge of conspiracy, were arrested
following the seizure in the Subway
last Friday of a suit case full of jew
elry, which. according to Customs In
spector Walter P. Murphy, had been
smuggled. 1t was this smuggling case
which led to the further discovery of
the carrying of letters. 1t is said these
men were the carriers.

K0ENIC, BIC HERO
All Germany Now Praisins
Captain of the Deutschland.
Kaiser Will Personally Decor.
ate U-Boat Captain.

Berlin, Aug. 24.-Captain Paul
Koenig is the hero of Germany. A
new naval festival has received birth
from the magic of his exploit in bring
ing the Deutschland home again.
The kaiser has asked him to come
here for a special audience and to re-
ceive a decoration. In a telegram to
him the emperor said:
with sincere pleasure I have just
received news of the safe return of
the Submarine Liner Deutschland. 1
heartily congratulate the owners and
builders of the vessel and the brave
seamen under Koenig's command"
The Deutschland is being strictly
guarded in the Weser. She will be
Helffrich, Admiral Scheer, Count
Zeppelin and Herr Won Krupp.
Captain Koenig tells a startling
story of the boldness of the English
attempts to capture or destroy the
submarine before it was well out of
American waters.
Had to Dodge Nets.
Eight British warships." he said
'cruised off the American coast sur
rounded by numerous steam trawlers
that were used to cast submarine
nets
1t is understood that the trawlers
spoken of by Koenig were American
fishing vessels chartered by the Brit
ish to act as scouts and obtain infor-
nation of the submarines time of
sailing as well as laying traps for the
little stranger when she started on
her peri1ous adventure.
That the submarine succeeded in
leaving Baltimore without the knowl-
edge of the enemy, is regarded as
high proof of Captain Koenig's skill
as a seaman. That naval operations
of such an elaborate character as he
doSnrihQC GhnI116 a under ken hU the
British in such close proximity to the
American coast is causing much COM
ment.
Quite as pleasing to the government
as the Deutschland's exploit is the fact
that she brought home cargo of ma
terials sorely needed. She is said to
have carried a million dollars worth
of nickel and copper. Considerable
mail and valuable papers also are said
to have been aboard.
Nevertheless Captain Koenig cred
its the American government with
having given the Deutschland the pro-
lection to which it was entitled. The
captain adds:
Given Every Protection.
Those measures of protection were
increased after an English man of way
entered the port of Baltimore in the
night
Captain Koenig reports that the first
part of the homeward voyage was
made in stormy weather, but the
Deutschland proved entirely sea-
worthy Kocnig adds with pride:
During the whole voyage of 4,200
miles we sailed under water only a dis
lance of 100 miles"
The German press gives voice to the
general feeling Of triumph over the
outwitting of the British navy. The
Tageblatt emphasizes the point that
new and promising commercial rela-
tons have been established between
Germany and the United States. While
admitting that the exchange of prod
ucts thus far has been limited In scope
the paper adds that the company own
ing the Deutschland is preparing to
extend it's scope.

The shortage of Irvine has in cases
compelled the reapers to bind the
sheaves by hand.
In Silesia the oats crop was never so
outstanding and so high, while stalks
of rye. picked at random, showed from
100 to 40 kernels to head. With
the yield of bread grain established
ample, attention was next directed to
secure a crop of fodder for cattle and
horses. Here also scientific cultivation
has resulted in a banner yield of oats
and hay, to which must be added the
value of the straw secured from the
heavy grain crop. This was impor-
tant to secure the supply of meat and
milk.
Another week will close the story of
the victory snatched from German
soil, an area less than the state of

SHIPS HAVE met?
News of Great Sea Battle Ex-
pected by Officers.
Hospitals Prepared for Wound
ed From Blue Fleet Today.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Naval Of
ficers today looked for news that
battle had occurred between the two
fleets participating in a war game in
the Atlantic and that a number of
casualties had occurred. Anticipat-
ing that mythical dead and wounded
were being hurried to land from Rear
Admiral Helms blue defending
fleet. naval hospitals at New York,
Boston. Newport, Philadelphia and
Norfolk were advised to make prepar-
ations for receiving and treating pa
tents. The location of the theo-
reticaI battle with Admiral Mayo's
red" attacking fleet would determine
what hospital station was to be taxed
most severely.
Navy officials explained today that
hypothetical disasters such as the de-
ragansett yesterday and of supply
stores at Sewall Point, Hampton
Roads, Wednesday, are decreed by the
navy department for its own tactical
exercise.
Movements of the two fleets were
not disclosed today but the positions
of the scouts indicate battle can not
be long delayed.
Keep in Battle Trim.
Naval officials were inclined today
to believe that the intercepted message
picked up yesterday saying the invad-
ing transports had been sighted was a
decoy sent out by Admiral Helm, COM
Elanding the defenders. in hope of
misleading Admiral Mayo. Nothing
tending to confirm the reported sight
ing of the transports was found in
| later messages reaching the depart
ment.
Admiral Helm also has called for
ammunition, including torpedoes, and
supplies to be delivered within a given
time from the various stations and de-
| pots along the Atlantic coast. The Of
ficers in charge of these depots must
find actual facilities for the transpor-
tation of the supplies and report prog
ress to the department.
At the conclusion of the war game
the Atlantic fleet will go to the south
ern drill grounds for the regular Sep
tember target practice. The reserve
ships composing the defenders will &C
