NEW ISSUE RAISED.
Conway for Deutschland Might
bring serious Protest.

WAsuiNGToS. Nov. 4-lteports that
the Deutschland may be conveyed back
to Germany By a war submarine have
raised the spectre OF a new diplomatic
issue The consensus Of opinion is that
the British Embassy would make serious
objection to any such plan on the ground
that the Deutschland would practically

So far as the right Of Germany to

law. although the merchantmen. OF
course, IL subject to attack without be-

a peaceful merchant vessel. But the
peculiar relationship which a merchant
submarine occupies to>a t-boat bent

complexities the problem.
Oficials Of the British Embassy be-
lievc that the scheme would he simply
a ruse to facilitate another raid or the
Atlantic coast. and that 1t would really
be the Deutschland acting as tender
TO the t-boat instead Of the war sub
marine acting as convoy TO the Deutsch

For the National Guardsmen who are

Mr.. Sabin had received information
from an unimpeachable source That a
message was IN the way to President
Wilson from the German Government

Daily Neus informant. Certain neutral
diplomats had actually prepared to start
for America as the bearers OF the Ger

bin never intimated in any way that AM
bassador Gerard was the bearer OF the
Kaiser's message. The coincidence OF
Mr.. Gerard being on his way TO the

papers that Mr.. Gerard was bringing the
message to which Mr.. Sabin referred
