Still Safe at Balti-

Nothing Heard From Bremen in
Double Mystery.

Baltimore, Nd, July 24.-The dila-
tory. daredevil. diver-boat Deutsch-
land was still in this port of dreams
and ocean-going mosquitoes today.
The dreams were more dopey and
the mosquitoes more ferocious than
ever, but actual facts about the Ger
man adventurer's homeward voyage
were slowed carefully in the double
locked, inner thoughts of the pro-
moters.
Only one thing seemed actually as
sured-that she awaits the coming of
her sister ship, the Bremen, due. it is
said, lat any time"
Whether clearance has been actually
granted to the Deutschland, is care
fully guarded. If it has the Deutsch-
land must head out for the capes by
night or re-clear, and in any case,
she must submit to sealing Of her
wireless if she stays longer in port
Persistent reports say the Deutsch-
land will carry from 100000 to $4,-
100000 worth of gold, if insurance is
obtainable. This bullion is reported
stored in the company offices OF on
board, but Manager Hilken only an
swers his invariable and non COM
municative 1T is possible"
AS the story goes, the money was
taken from the interned German liner
Princessin Ceci1e at Boston and, sig
nificantly. Hilken has recently made
a secret journey to the Hub city.
While doping out the DeutchIand's S
departure time is the leading diversion
hereabouts, her crew takes life lightly.
A German band aboard the Neckar,
nearby, puffs out very fine music,
ningling Die Wacht Am Rhine" with
THE Star Spangled Banner and Die
Lorelei," with Hello Hawaii, How Are
You?" And out over the Patapsco
comes the wheeling of an unneutral
graphaphone playing, ITS a Long,
Long Way to Tipperary," while the
ermans merely grunt their derision.
Some of the crew are sentimental. and
all are heroes to the fair German
madchen of the hyphen section of the
city. There are moonlight lunch
cruises; time of departure mattering
not in the young lives of these sailor
Lotharios.
Anxious About Bremen.
Norfolk. Va, July 24.-Hope for the
safe arrival of the Bremen, sister ship
of the giant German submersble
Deutschland, waned today when she
failed to appear off Cape Henry.
Persons who accurately predicted
the coming of the Deutschland almost
to the hour of it's arrival and who de-
clared Saturday that the Bremen
would put in probably off Cape Henry
not later than today, made no attempt
to explain her failure to appear. They
insisted that she probably had been
ueldyeu, pOSSlply py the presence OF
the allied warships just outside the
capes, and that she might be expected
to dash into safety at any time
Others, including seafaring men,
many of whom even scout the asser-
ton that the Bremen is on its way to
the United States, say she is nowhere
near the capes. else she would have
rushed to safety some time during the
last two days.
The feeling that the Bremen is not
near appeared to have spread to the
allied warships. Only one of them
was in sight and she was cruising far
off the coast.
Deny Bremen Capture
London, July 24.-DeniaI that Brit
ish war vessels have captured the
German submarine freighter Bremen
sister ship to the Deutschland, was
given today by official authority to
the United Press.
