These facts were made plain at the
British embassy and at the State De-
partment.
The British and French embassies
protested TO the State Department
against this governments action In
permitting the Deutschland to enter
an American port They protested also
against permitting the Deutschland to
take on provisions. They declared to
the State Department that the Deutsch-
land is warship and therefore il en-

At the British embassy the position
OF the British government was out
lined as follows:
In view of the methods of submarine
warfare employed by Germany in tn.
present war. the Deutschland must be
considered as a war vessel.
No enemy vessel moving under the
water can be considered by Great
Britain as any thing but warship.
and 1t will be treated accordingly 1t
would be absurd to treat a submarine
vessel any other way. II an allied
