Washington Make Representations
Concerning the Deutschland.

acknowledgements have
been made by the British and French
embassies that the Deutschland is po-
tentially a warship, even though de-
signed and used as a merchantmen.
At Baltimore there will be no OBJ
lection on the part Of Capt. Paul Koe-
mig, commander of the German sub
marine Deutschland, to an inspection
If his craft by officers of the United
States navy. This was announced by
Capt. Koenig after the arrival from
Washington of Capt. Hughes and two
of the navy's submarine experts, as
signed to aid the collector of the port
in determining the status of the vessel.
The work of unloading the cargo of
the Deutschland has begun. The cases
of dyestuffs are being stored inside
the warehouse at the base of the pier.

German Submarine Arrives At Balti-
more-Has Large Cargo Of Dye
stuffs and Medicine.

Baltimore.-The German submarine
arrived at Quarantine, four miles be-
low Baltimore, at midnight July 8.
Long expected, ridiculed, fabulous
as the sea serpent or the flying Dutch.
man. the German supersubmarine
Deutschland became a reality to the
watchers of Cape Henry and made her
way through a network of inquisitive
ships and through the mazes of red
tape of the quarantine and customs Of
icials, toward her dock at the pier of
the Eastern Forwarding Company, Lo-
Gust Point, Baltimore.
She is the largest submarine afioat.
The largest German war models are
less than 300 feet long. But this sub
marine Of commerce is 315 feet long,
exactly one-third the length of the
largest merchant vessels afloat-the
Vaterland and the Imperator.
She carried no passengers. Her
cargo consists entirely of dyestuffs-a
thousand tons of them. This keeps
her very low in the water when riding
on the surface. Her draft when she
was sighted was II feet.
She is commanded by Capt. Kairig
and has a crew of 20 men. Both cap
tain and crew are drawn from the
German merchant feet and not from
the navy. The craft is unarmed and
is being treated by the United States
officials like any other merchant ship.
Her commander told the pilot that
she left a German port on June 20,
that he had 1000 tons Of cargo and
a quantity Of mail aboard.

Smith Explains Bill Barring Liquor
Advertisements From Mall.
Washington. = Senator Smith Of
Georgia has urged the committee on
p~ostoffice and post roads for an early
report recommending passage of his
bill to forbid the use of the mails for
letters. postal cards. circulars or
pamphlets advertising intoxicating
liquors in states where such adver-
Using is prohibited by law. The SEN
ator explained that an i'm
preston had been created that the
legislation he proposed would bar
newspapers containing liquor adver-
tisements from the mails.
81 do not think we could prohibit
the use of mails for circulation of
newspapers in prohibition states" said
Senator Smith. "My bill seeks to get
at the root of an evil. 1t is the postal
cards, pamphlets and circular letters
sent to citizens, and particularly the
youths, of the prohibition states, ad-
vertising liquors and quoting price
lists that We want to stop"
