Detroit. Mich, July 10.-President

With this in mind the president ar

Later he planned to speak to the
employees of the Ford Motor Works

The president was introduced imme-

A. o. Wellman, assistant treasurer
of the iAtchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, died at 1880 o'clock this after
noon at his home, 1908 West Tenth
street. Death resulted from a stroke
of apoplexy, which Mr. Wellman suf-
fred while working at his desk in the
general offices shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning.
Without warning, Mr.. Wellman
who has apparently been in excellent
health, was stricken this morning. He
was rushed to his home at once and it
was at first believed that while his
condition was serious. his illness prob
ably would not result fatally. Shortly
before 1870 o'clock, he began to sink
rapidly, however, and died few min
utes later.
Mr.. Wellman was ST years of age

railway in 1882 as assistant bookkeep

by Secretary of State Lansing the case
of the big undersea liner will be
studied as an Individual case, as have
the cases of various Italian and French
commerce carrying ships that have
entered American ports since the war
Began, with guns aboard.
Under these rulings the merchant
men have been permitted to come and
go with guns as large as six inch pieces
aboard. All that was necessary in
these cases, was for the captain to
give assurances that such armament
was mounted for defense only. The
fact that the Deutschland is a sub
marine, officials declared today, and
not surface boat, makes no differ
ence as to her character.
Ownership Important.
Ownership of the boat will have to
be established. 1t was admitted that
perpleXing complications would exist
should it be proved that the German
government is part owner of the YES
sci. Absence of torpedo tubes, some
officials believed, would be taken as
strong proof of the ships peaceful
character. One ruling oy Lansing,
however, seems certain of at least par
tial amendment. Discussing the line
of deTnarcatiOn between offensive and
defensive by an armed merchantmen
he said such merchantmen could open
fire t fight upon a submarine that
appeared tC be pursuing her.
The aptain of a merchantmen, the
secretary declared, in such cases is
warranted in acting upon the assump-
ton that the submarines action is Of
fenSiVe
The ruling was predicated solely on
the theory that all U-boats were war
boats. Need for a new ruling. off
cials admitted, is obvious. with u
boats now appearing as passenger and
cargo carriers.
In this connection, possibility of
serious complications with allied gov
ernments therefore arises. Such pos
sibilities would loom large should an
American citizen engage return pas

washington. July 10.-The German
super-submersible Deutschland is not
warship. She is not even an armed
merchantmen. She has no guns or
armament of any kind aboard her.
This was the report made to the
treasury department shortly before
noon by customs officials who boarded
the submarine at Baltimore. The
state department Immediately was in
formed of the ships status by Secre-
tary McAdCo. TIE report. while pre-
liminary, is considered definitely to

"Customs Collector Ryan at Balti-

merchantmen and unarmed.'
Won't Gail Neutrality Board.
Although the report was termed
preliminary" it was announced at
the state department that the neutral
ity board would not even be called on
the case, unless the final report re-
veals some doubtful technical points.
The official report of the collector
at Baltimore said the only sign of
armament aboard were small arms
and ~ockets for signalling. The cargo
consisted of dyestuffs and metal ball
last. Diplomatic documents were
brought over by the captain.
The British embassy will make no
formal representations to the state de-
partment regarding the Deutschland
until the United States government has
delivered an opinion as to her status
it was learned today.
The twenty-four hour rule which
applies to belligerent ships of war or
to ships regarded as auxiliaries, will
not enter into the case of the great
German submarine liner Deutschland
This was the one point on which Of
ficials were today unanimous in their
opinions as to the attitude of the
United States. The very nature of the
problems which arose when the
Deutschland entred American waters.
makes it necessary, officials said, to
have ample time in which to study the
numerous and complicated phases of
the case.
Others Carried Big Guns.
Officially the state department did
not take cognizance of the Deutsch-
lands arrival until the treasury de-
partment made detailed report of its
investigation.

Paris Says Capture of City Now
Only Matter of Hours.

Paris, July 1o.-The French ad-
vanced their lines south of the Somme
today a mile and half, capturing the
German third line trenches along a
length of three and a half miles and
are now within a mile of Peronne.
French critics believe the capture of
hours.
Under the system of inter-locking
echelons, it was the turn of the right
wing to push forward. the other
echelons on center and left being
saved to effect the moves required of
them. The troops south of Somme ap-
parently had made good use of their
breathing spell. When the word was
given, they moved forward with the
precision of well oiled machine. They
swept across the northern of the
two plateaus which face Peronne,
clearing out the German positions and
establishing themselves solidly in the
trenches which had been turned into
quagmires by the combined effects of
bombardments and incessant rain.
Artillery Cut Off Reinforcenlcnts.
The Germans offered the best re-
sistance they could but the French
artillery had been keeping up a for
midable drum fire upon their lines of
communication, making it almost i'm
possible for them to get either re-
inforcements or food in suitable guam
titles.
Today's success is important in
that it should enable the French heavy
artillery to push forward into a posi-
ton whence it can pour a fire into the
flank and rear of the Germans who
are resisting at Combles, four miles to
the north and C1ery, half mile
north on the other bank o f the
SOmme.
Today's movements of the French
paved the way for the next move of a
central echelon for which preparation
continued steadily all day, virtually
without interference from the Ger
mans.

Norfolk, Va, July 10.-I consider
our voyage uneventful. We had very
little trouble. once we had trouble
with our underwater lights and air
tanks but they delayed us only a few
hours. We were over 500 miles off
the short course. which made us be-
hind the time we could make under
more favorable conditions.

We ran into rough weather almost
every day for week. We were forced
to submerge on these occasions to es-
cape high seas. 1t is more comfort

rough. We could not stand on our
feet on the surface and the cargo be-

Our vessel was not under water more
than two hours Saturday.
Getting to Port.
When we got our bearings good and
knew it was not safe to be submerged
while trying to get to port, we made
run for it Saturday afternoon. We
proceeded cautiously. Sometimes we
were doing our best and then we would
stop altogether. We changed the color
of our vessel SO that she would be
hard to sight even at a few miles.
We ran close to the shore line all of
Saturday and by night we were very
well up. We were delayed at night by
being unfamiliar with the coast and
because of the constant flashes of light
from passing ships. Some were mer-
chantmen and some might have been

had a conference with President Will
