EEw LONDON, Conn, Nov. 1.-The
German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land carried s10.0o00OO cargo on her
second trip to this country, Captain
Koenig, her commander. estimated to-
day.
AS the total tonnage is only 900, or
about the same as the submersible
brought to Baltimore, this would indi-
cate that there are many valuable securi-
ties on board. The custom house Of
ficials. however, gave the figures rough
~ at $2,OOO,O0O.
The Deutschland still has more than
half her fuel supply left in spite OF her
hard run. She left with 100 tons OF oil
on board. and there are more than seq
enty-flve tons still in the tanks. inc
supply will be replenished here before
starting back, and the captain cheer-
fully admitted that the oil he got ON
he could get I'm ermany.
Cargo of Drugs and Dyes.
The cargo consists mostly OF dyes ana
drugs. the captain said Dyes consu-
tute the largest single item, and among
the drugs are salvarsan. aspirin. ana
some others that American chemists
and pharmacists have been praying FOR.
II Is believed there are stocks ana bonus
on board, too, although Captain koeniS
could not be sure of this. and probably
some valuable jewels.
All in all, II was a valuable target
that the Deutschland presented for The
allied destroyers on her voyage, al
though the manifest has not yet been
filed. Until II Is the contents OF the
cargo cannot be known exactly.
I'VE were to have brought some
serum for infantile paralysis Captain
Koenig said. 81 talked to one of the
professors about 1t. but 1t could not be
done. You see the serum has to go
through monkeys first, and there are no
riously. We haven't been able to i'm
port any since the war began. so we
couldn't bring any serum
How much profit do you think there
will be on this cargo?"
"oh. quite a lot of money" he
laughed.
But we are interested in the money"
the questioner went on.
II know. ! know" Captain Koenig
agreed "All Americans are
Was Guest of Kaiser.
or course some one asked early in the
interview II the Kaiser had given any
recognition of the navigator's feat when
he returned. He avoided the question
shrewdly. but just as the interviewers
were racking their brains to think up
something more to ask, Paul Hinkel,
standing behind the captain, let the cat
out of the bag.
Tell about what the Kaiser said to
you when you had dinner with him" he
suggested. They'll like to hear that"
Then II had to come out. The captain
flushed an embarrassment and spread
his hands imploringly. but he had to
tell part. at least The rest Mr.. Hinkel
supplied. >, c

But the dinner"
"Oh, / was invited to dine with him

Where was that"
THAT can't be told 1t was just some
where on the eastern front, you know.
The Empress was there, and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and many
others. But II was n very simple meal.
The Kaiser had me tell him everything
about. what happened to me in Amer
lea. told him."
"what?" was demanded.
"Oh," he evaded, Just the nice things
how nicely you received me-"
How did he look, captain" w
He looked very well, only little
white and perhaps bit lighter in
"Did he give you any decoration"
| That brought out the last bit.
MOO" he drawled. looking at the
table top. IL already had it. All 1
had TO DO was TO tnank MIN.
HE had 1t. indeed! Five Of them. in

the knighthood cross of the order OF
Hohenzollern. He also received the
Bavarian cross OF the Order of st.

Sake Meinihgen and the Duke of CO.

the commerce Of the two hemispheres

Aren't you wearing them?" was the
natural question.
mo, I didn't bring them with me-"
he said. and let II be inferred that 1t
was because he thought them too
valuable to be endangered on the
Deutschland.
What did the Kaiser have to say
about the war?" was bit of informa-
