to Escape Possible Attack
From Enemy.

ii"iS- 'Au- iStuics VI auNeh-
ture no less thrilling than those which
ill the pages of Jules verne's Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, are
called up by the amazing story OF the
trip OF the German U-boat Deutsch-
land across the Atlantic ocean-a voy-
age that has been pronounced the most
daring In the history Of the sea.
The story Of the remarkable voyage
made by this submarine-the first to
cross the Atlantic ocean-through a
maze OF hostile warships, has been told
simply by Capt. Paul koenig, com
mander Of the undersea craft.
koenig was modest about it all. He
had a few words of praise for his
crew and none for himself. When he
spoke of the fatherland his eyes spar
killed. and his whole body twitched with
eagerness. When he talked of Just
dropping down when he saw q de
stroyer" his voice was calm.
Would He Surrender
lust once did he disn,ay roo, eu,o-
tion. T,at was when toward tbe end
of the interview this question was
suddenly shot at him:
Suppose on your way back, just
as you left the Virginia capes, you saw
a destroyer bearing mercilessly down
upon you. Suppose there wasn't time
to dodge, wasn't time to submerge,
what would you do? Would you sur
render?"
The undersea slippers face turned
sudden red that looked queer under
his thick weather tan. His hands
clenched, his eyes flashed, then slowly
each word painfully thought out, came
the answer:
would I surrender? couldn't
tell about that-pOsitively can't. !
don't knOw-surrender? think the
moment would bring the decision. Yes,
that moment would carry its own de
cision."
That was the spoken reply but in
every bit of the mans tone, in every
set line Of his face could be read the
real answer-Capt. Paul Koenig has no
intention that the Deutschland shall
ever fall into enemy hands.
Fears No Enemy Warship.
And no has evarv con6donc. .,o+

outside Will not stop u.s." he exclaimed,
I'VE will go back; we will go back
easy. And we VIII come again, and
others will come and trade Will go
back and forth, and the British block
ade-that will be thing to laugh at.
"The future Of the submarine has
now been proved to be unlimited" he
asserted. There Is practically no
maximum to their capacity; their
mechanism has been perfected; we
nave shown that they do anything any
other ship can do, and more besides.
About that am positive. The
coming of the Deutschland, $500 miles
TO America, and her arrival with
range OF almost ten thousand miles
left, with fuel and water and supplies
and everything for that much travel
Still aboard, shows that you can go
with submarine simply where you
want to 60"
koenig is small man, ordinarily
looking until he begins to talk, when
his force and personality become at
once apparent.

Text of the German Note
in Regard to Treatment
of Armed Merchantmen

BERLIN, via The Hague to London.
the German memorandum is as fol-
lows:
Memorandum of the imperial Ger
man government regarding treatment
of armed merchantmen.
Section Already before the out
break of the present war the British
government had given British ship
ping companies an opportunity to arm
merchantmen with guns. Churchill.
then first lord of the admiralty, on
March 26. 1913. gave in the British
parliament a declaration ttext in ap-
pendix) that the admiralty required
shipping companies to arm number
of rst-class passenger ships and
liners for protection against dangers
threatening under certain circum-
stances from swift auxiliary cruisers
of other powers. These liners. now
ever. were not to assume tnereoy the
character of auxiliary cruisers
The government was willing TO
place at the disposal Of the companies
owning these ships necessary guns:
adequate mmunition and personnel
suitable for training gun crews
Based on Admiralty Statement.
THE English companies already acted
on the requests Of the admiralty: The
president Of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, Sir Owen Philips. could in
form the stockholders of his company in
May. 1913. that the company's larger
steamers had been equipped with guns.
The British admiralty further! pub
lished in January. 1914, list showing
that twenty-nine steamers of various Eng
lish lines carried stern guns.
I'm fact Germany esta blished soon after
the outbreak of the war that English lin
ers were armed. For example. the steam
er La Correntina of the Houlder line Of
Liverpool, which was captured by the
German auxiliary cruiser kronprinZ
Friedrich Wilhelm. carried two four
pound, seven-inch stern guns. A German
submarine also was fired upon in the
channel by an English yacht.
Their Legal Status.
"lI-Regarding the character of armed
according to international
law The British government for its own
has taken the standpoint
that such ships maintain the character
of peaceful mercantile vessels SO long as
they carry armament only for defensive
purposes. The British ambassador at
accordingly gave the Ameri-
can government, in communication
dated August 25, 1914 exhibit -. most
sweeping assurances that British mer
chantmen were never armed for purposes
of off4nse. only defense. and that they
therefore would never fire unless fired
upon first.
aThe British government, on the other
hand had in the case of armed ships
under other flags adopted the principle
that they were to be treated as war
ships and expressly ordered in the
