 Tn evading warships of Great Bri- tain and France in the North Sea the Deutschland passed under a veri- table forest of mines and other ob- structions- She also passed under practically 200 war craft of Germany $ foes. She passed through the North Sea- around the Tristan Islands on a course that was almost similar to that 1 Followed by the German raider Moewe which succeeded in escaping from watching Warships by disgusting as a Danish merchant vessel.
 The Deutschland was not disguis- ed. She sailed past the enemy uf1der water until she reached the Atlantic The she followed almost a straight course to America T E1' Capt Kairis said he was 800 miles I or the short course which, delayed him consfderabIe. What he meant by the short course was not learned. The tDeutschlapd did not encounter any I warships until she was half way across. She met a number of mer- chant vessels, and to escape detection submerged whenever they came toe close. until she got within a few hun I dred miles of the American coast, She met several British destroyers | 300 miles from America; and Capt Kairig was under the impression thai one started for him. He took nc chances, he said, and went un,de, |water immediately. He remained there for six hours and when he came te the surface the destroyers were xno. where in sight.

 Sighted No British Craft
 Not until four days ago did the British authorities wake up to the fact that a German submarine was 1T the Atlantic.
