New York. March 1.-That Verdun IS
the key to the stock market was proved
again in Wall Street today. President
wilson's demand that Congressman show
their colors caused a break in the early
trading. From that there was a slight
recovery later. Then Wall Streets mind
went back to verdun. The market broke
badly in all directions. News that fight
ing had been suspended temporarily was
followed by a sharp rally, in the midst
Of which the market closed.
While a few stocks stuck out because
Of determined pool support, there was
little display of strength. Copper shares
and a few Of the munitions stocks thai
are making absurdly large earnings
came back quickly after the break. The
great mass of securities recovered feeoly.
Wall Street proposes to wait until the
battle OF Verdun is decided. II the Ger
mans win, traders propose to sell as many
stocks as they can as quickly as they
can. They will do this because they De-
lieve a victory will encourage Germany

Even while she is running on the surface

her cargo capacity of 900 tons taken up she

captain can 90 all the way on the surface or
submerge before he reaches Hampton Roads
as the humor strikes him.
1t will be a simple matter so to calculate
his clearance Of the port Of Baltimore to ar
rive at point inside the Virginia Capes
at night. And suppose he takes a notion not
to submerge He would not have to. He
could sail right out beyond the three mile
limit and not even fleet Of vessels in Hamp-
ton Roads, let alone a few hostile cruisers
off coast would know that he had left unless
they stretched themselves in a chain across
the mouth of the bay and watched for him
to pass.
A periscope the size of a hat-fguratively
speaking-is not an easy thing to sight in
broad daylight. Suppose an agent of the AL
lies followed the Deutschland and her escort,
the tug Thomas +. Timmins, down the Chesa-
peake from Baltimore. Captain Koenig could
have almost as much fun as he had with the

When he reached the broad end of the bay
he could fill up his water tanks, sing out q
merry "ha ha" to his pursuers and disappear
beneath the waves. Then who could pick him

head, because it was found when the fee was
$50 that the moonshiners, who couldn't raise or
buy enough corn for "run" of whiskey, were
exchanging Jail courteses. Which is to say
that one of them would rig up burned out
still, and another would go to the nearest rev.
enue agent and reveal its location The raid
and subsequent arrest resulted in Jail term
varying from thirty days to six months-prob-
ably the former, when the agent was obliged
to admit in court that the still was very
small one.

prize of the war, no doubt. Then again she
NAV never be heard from again after she
drops her pilot in Hampton Roads and bids
farewell to American shores.
Some think it was just plain luck that
brought the submarine to Baltimore in safety.
But it was scarcely that only, even if one
disregards for the moment the German genius
that devised capable craft and executed the
initial steps in the trading enterprise she rep
resents. One could not talk with Captain
Paul Koenig, skipper Of the Deutschland, and
hear him tell ever so modestly how he and
his crew drank champagne and sang to the
strains of photograph far below the waters
of the English Channel while hostile war
ships ragged above him and still believe it was
good fortune alone than won for him success.
1--WE will get home safely" this captain as
serts so determinedly that one must believe
him. "We will clear and announce our de-
parture like any other merchantman-then
we will go out Six, ten, dozen cruisers
NAV be outside the territorial waters of the
limited States, but they will not stop us. 1t
will be easy. A submarine, you know, al
ways sees another vessel first. She never
lets herself be seen."
That is Captain Koenig's creed, and expe-
rienced mariners in the Chesapeake waters
feel certain that he can carry out his lnten-
tion with no more danger of failure than he
experienced coming to America. When he
guides his craft out between Cape Henry and
Cane Charles he will have before him fifty
mile gateway to cross the three-mile limit.
Then the broad Atlantic is his for whatever
chase may wait for him. 1t seems a certainty
though that the Deutschland could glide out
mast the territorial line right under the keel
of a waiting warship and never be seen by
enemy eyes.
The character of the vessel itself is its best
assurance of safe journey home. 1t sees
the enemy before the enemy sees it. 1t can
submerge in one minute, the skipper main
tains. and lie on the bottom indefinitely If
needs be or stay suspended beneath the waves

The New York agents have to fear no bull
lets. City moonshiners aren't even gunmen.
Oftentimes what appears to an inquistive
neighbor to be an illicit still is nothing Of the
sort. The agents frequently find the supposed
noonshiner is an East Side saloon owner,
blending his own whiskey to escape paying the
500 fee the government demands as yearly
license. He takes several gallons Of good

so simple, in fact, that the anti-prohibition-
lists tell US we'll be making our own moon

the prohibitionists have their way.
Ask a revenue agent to guess and he'll prob
ably say there may be fifty moonshine stills
operating in New York to-day, mostly on the
East Side and in the Brownsville section OF
Brooklyn. 1t is impossible to find them and
the agents don't trouble to look for them.

the submarine trader is overhaued. How
will the submarine romance end?
A few days ago Captain Koenig was assA
by The Tribune correspondent:

States, destroyer came at you so quc1l
that you could not submerge. What wouH

1t is interesting, though, to speculate ap'
this contingency. The Deutschland has ee'
