The disability allowance is alike re-
assurance against the fear of loss OF

The new system is not only a rec

ON clally they were to determine
whether the submarine was an armed
vessel but they were given permission
by Captain Koenig to make complete
inspection.
Tells How He Spells His Name
1t was explained to Captain Koenig
that the sealing of the Deutschland's
wireless would be required in accord
ance with the rules laid down by the
government soon after the outbreak of
the war, to prevent violations of neu-
trality by ships of belligerent nations
in American ports.
Captain Koenig said he expected to
start on his return trip within 10 days
and was not, in any case, concerned
about the regulation.
The captain settled today the ques-
ton over the spelling of his name.
Il spell it K-o-n-i-g," he said, with
the umIaut over the 90 To convey
the sound correctly in English it should
be spelled K-o-e-n-i-g."

Deutschland may begin today to dis
charge her cargo, principally dye

she is moored. Nickel shipment to

An emphatic statement was made
by Henry c. Hilken of the firm which
represents the DeutschIand's owners,
that under no circumstances will any
passengers be carried on the submar-
inc on her return trip. Two appli-
cants for passage are said to have Of
fered $4,000 each. Mr.. HiIken smiling
ly said he expected the submarine to
leave about Christmas" but it is
understood she will depart within a
week
The Deutschland is moored within
quarter of a mile from the place where
the first submergence was made 10
years ago of the first boat to success
fully navigate under water. This was

Rubber Trade in Germany.

The German correspondent of the
India Rubber World writes: Con
ditions do not improve, but our en-
emies must not for a moment imagine
that our position is hopeless. Our
great naval victory that was a serious
blow to Britain's sea power, should
open their eyes. Our rubber industry
continues to suffer from the lack of
raw materials, especially crude rub
Der. but 1t manages nevertheless to
meet practically all demands by using
compounds of reclaimed and synthetic
rubber with small proportions of
crude rubber. Other compromising in
gradients are not lacking, but their
prices are very high. Ducks and other
fabrics used in the rubber industry
are also very expensive and their use
greatly restricted by government de-
crees. Chemicals used in reclaiming are
scarce and very costly, and their use
is strictly regulated and supervised.
'"The manufacturer of synthetic rub
Der has been placed on a basis that is
commercial under the existing condi-
tions. Many experts go as far as to
predict that, before the end of the war,
we will have made such progress that
we will be able to produce this mater
ial, when peace is established, in
competition with the natural product
and at such prices as to displace crude
rubber partially, if not entirely. They
predict for the rubber plantation,
as we'll as for the wild rubber industry
the same fate as that which befell the
indigo industry not many years ago,
when synthetic indigo was first
brought out by Germans and in a short
time completely destroyed the trade in
the natural East Indian product.
"Our armies continue to use rubber
tires in ever increasing quantities, and
these are all being made Of compounds
containing Synthetic, reclaimed and
