 Already there is discussion con corning the return cargoes for other underwater liners which are expected to follow the Deutschland to Amerf- can shores.

It was also declared that the Bremen, constructed by the same company that built the Deutschland and reported from Berlin last night as about to sail. will carry drugs that are much needed in this country and which cannot be obtained from any other than German sources.
 The North German Lloyd has re- ceived messages from persons in all parts of the country with offers run ming as high as $5O.000, for the priv ilege of taking passage on the Deutschland on the return trip.
