DEUTSCHLAND SLIPS OUT OF

herman Submarine Dleappears Un:
harmed After Reaching Three.kile J
l'mit-t'as Clear Field Ahead
to Point Where She Could
Completely Submerqe.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 3.-The German
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
passed quietly out Of the Virginia
sepss at $3.50 p. M. on her homeward
voyage, apparently unobserved by the
allied warships patrol Waiting outside
the three-mile limit.
She was accompanied to the capes
only by the tug Thomas F. Timmins;
which had conveyed her down the bay
from Baltimore, and by a newspaper
dispatch boat.
Cruisers Not Visible.
Her departure to sea followed an
lS-m1le dash through the lower Ches.
tpeake bay. After proceeding slowly
most of the way down, she increased
her power at $50 and reached the
eapes just after dusk. None of the all
He'd cruisers was visible as she passed
through.
Whether she submerged before;
reaching the three-mile limit is un-
known. The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un-
harmed, and that to all appearances
she had clear field ahead to a point
where she.could completely submerge
IN safety.
Under Ideal Conditions.
During part Of the day the Deutsch-
land had remained hidden at cove up
Chesapeake bay.
The trip of the submarine down
chesapeake bay from Baltimore was
made under ideal conditions. Not a
bloud was in sight as the submersible
Increased her speed to 10 knots an
hour soon after clearing Baltimore
harbor. The tug fell in behind imme-
diately and by dark was 500 yards
bstern.
The submarine ahead, brilliant
light shining from the top of her peri
lcope and green and red running lights
hanging below on the coming tower,
plowed steadily along on an even keel.
Vessels Salute U-Boat.
The attention of bay steamers was
attracted to the submarine by the
lrilliance of her lights, especially that

A franchise in city the size of Lit
tie Falls is very valuable. The people
make it valuable. If there were no
one here, the franchise would be Of
no value. We do not believe the COM
mon council of the city of Little Falls
intends to give away the most valuable
privilege the city has without compen-
sation. What was done in the past is
no justification for present actions. A
prolonging of q franchise is essentially
. grant of privilege not now exist
ing. We have some doubts as to the
propriety of such action in any event
without vote Of the people. What we
have now we have, and must make the
best Of it.. The future, however,, the
people hold in their hands, and they
would be iderelict indeed did they not
secure adequate returns for, what is
sl1sked. Some Of us, at least, hope to
sex the day when Little Falls, like 80
y many other progressive municipalities
III this state, controls the furnishing
! 6fbli9ht and water to its. own people,
ana " would dislike to see action
which would make that possibility re-
mote.

GERMAN VETERAN FOR WILSON

GERMAN VETERAN FOR WILSON
Mankato Review: General Frederick
G. Wink]er, of Milwaukee, native of
Germany and veteran Of the civil
war, has announced his support of
message to the president he says:
"a republican voter since 1860.
I hold that in the present crisis,
the party has no place. True Am
ericanism must stand by the man
who manfully stands at the helm.
I support your reelection
The Eau Clair wis., Telegram, dis
cussing this announcement, gives the
following facts relative to General
Winkler's life and previous political
relationships:
"Gen. Winkler was born in Ger
many, was brought to Milwaukee by
his parents when he was 6 years old,
attended public school, became law
yer, went to the war for the Union in
1862 and came out when it was over
as a brigadier general, having, COM
manded the Twenty-frst Wisconsin
about two years, served on the staff of
Ma. Gen. Carl Shurz, and fought in
many battles and marched with Sher-
man to the sea. He was for years
prominent in republican politics in va
rious capacities. Not long ago, when
the royal and imperial government Of
Germany had finally promised to re-
spect sea rights, Gen. Winkler tele-
graphed congratulations to the presi-
dent on his successful vindication Of
American rights in the controversy
with Germany
"Winkler has not sought to intrude
his personality in the matter, but much
notice is taken of his support of Will
son because the general is an old time
republican, because he was born in a
foreign land, because at the same time
his experience in peace and in war and
in politics and out of it has shown him
that the republican party machine to-
day is of considerably less Importance
than the flag for which he riskel his
life on many a bloody feld.'
