SENATOR'S VISIT
TO DEUTSCHLAND
MAY BOOST Navy
Vice President Also Sees u
Boat with Party of Nota-

KOENIG SUSPENDS RULES

An increase In the naval bill that will
provide for additional submarines, may
follow the visit to Baltimore yesterday OF
Vice President Marshall and Senators
Chamberlain and vardaman. who inspect
ed the Deutschland at her pier.
The visit was particularly significant
because the naval bill Is now being de-
bsted in the Senate. and because Of Sen
ator Chamberlain's prominence in army
and navy legislation as chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs.
While strict orders had been issued to
permit no Americans on board, the ban
was lifted to allow the government Of
hciaIs to inspect the big subnersiole and
the officers showed them every courtesy.
Up to the time the Deutschland was
reported on Newport News. marking the
completion Of the first transatlantic
Journey for a submarine, there was great
doubt among members of Congress as to
the ability of submersibles to journey so
far from a naval base.
The success OF the Teuton U-boat puts
a different complexion on the ability of
the submarine and may cause more fo-
erality in the matter of appropriations
for boats Of this type.
Senator Yardaman said last night that
the visit was for pleasure and educational
purposes. so far as his presence was con-
cerned. In the Senatorial party were Mr..
