Baltimore, Aug 1.-THE Deutsch-
land, German submarine freighter,
and the first merchant under-sea boat
to cross the Atlantic, babe farewell to
Baltimore Tuesday afternoon.
It was just 5:3S o'clock when the
lines were thrown off and the craft
was towed from its berth amid the
cheers of small crowd which had
gathered to see the departure and the
blasts of whistles from the water craft
mean godspeed and good luck.
Painted Sea Green.
The little craft was painted sea
green. This was done in the last few
days. In irregular lines across the
whaleback were lines of dirty white
and when the boat reeachd the spot
where the waters are deep and green
it will be impossible to distinguish
her, once she submerges.
When seen a few days ago the craft
was painted steel gray.
Divers Crew Happy
A smile Illuminated the faces of the
crew and they waved their hats, and
those who did not have hats waved
their handkerc,liefs in response to the
cheers Of those who wished them bon
voyage
The crew of the steamship Neckar,
interned at this port, which has been
standing beside the Deutschland
guarding her from curiosity seekers
and those who might possibly have
had evil design, was lined along the
deck of the big ship looking down up
on the little one as she left. Their
faces, too, beamed with happiness and
they were eXuberant in their wishes
Of Godspeed.
The farewells were shouted in Ger
man. The Neckar gave another dem
onstration Of best wishes in hosting
signal flags which in the information
al code meant, "home bound, good
luck"
Diver Bgins Voyage.
A few minutes before o'clock the
small power boat Elco made her way
to the end of the slip. The revenue
cutter came alongside the tug Thomas
f. Timmins and the police boat also
backed in beside the custOm-house
boat. There were conferences be-
tween the police officials, officers in
the United States custom service and
Captain KONG relating to the convoy
of the submarine.
At precisely $50 the Lannan pull
ed out of the slip, the ElcO backed in
and tied close to the Deutschland, the
customs-house boat pulled away and
finally the Timmins backed in and
made fast her lines. Then came the
handshaking and the parting words of
farewell from the crew of the Deutsch-
land and the crew of the Neckar and
the official Of the Eastern Forwarding
company who were on the pier. Eight
minutes later the Deutschland was
being conveyed on her trip to Bremen.

JAPAN CRITICIZES MEASURE
Opposes Proposed Inclusion in Immi-

President Wilson.

Washington, April 22-Viscount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has
conferred with President Wilson over
the provision of the pending immigra-
ton bill which proposed to enact into
law the socalled gentleman's agree
ment restricting the immigration of
Japanese laborers. A memorandum on
the subject had been presented to the
state department.
The proposed inclusion in a law of
an informal agreement which Japan
has agreed on honor to fulfil, accord
ing to the agreement between former
Secretary Elihu Root and former Am
bassador Takahira, is understood to
be repugnant to the Japanese gov
eminent.
Other proposed Asiatic exclusion
features In the bill, as it has passed
the house and been reported to the
senate, are understood to be the sub
jects of objection.

manders-No Word From
Ambassador Gerard.

Washington, April %. - While the
United States waits for Germany's re
| ply to the note demanding immediate
abandonment of present methods OF
submarine warfare, one of the chief
sources of concern here is the posi-
bility of another attack on a peaceful
ship carrying Americans before the
Berlin government has determined
upon its course.
In such an event it is admitted that
an immediate rupture could be pre-
vented only by proof that Germany
had been unable to communicate with
her submarine commanders.
In explaining the demand of the
United States officials said that while
abandonment of the present illegal
methods were essential to continuance
of diplomatic relations, the United
States might agree to German sub
marines operating under the strict re-
strlctions of cruiser warfare.
United States Stands Firm.
1t was reiterated emphatically, how
ever, that discussion of that phase
would not be entered into until the
present campaign was brought to a
stop. The United States stands firm
in its determination not to tolerate the
unlawful and inhumane sinking of an
other ship.
Cruiser warfare such as would be re-
garded as legal by the American gov
eminent would make imperative the
exercise of the right to visit and
search, the passengers and crew being
