TO DELAY SAILING SEVERAL
 DAYS, IS REPORT
Ambassador to Say Farewell to Crew on Wednesday,
 Latest Rumor.

Baltimore, Md, July 22-Captaln Koenig and the crew of the subma- rine Deutschland showed clearly yes- terday that they were anxious over the delay in the vessels sailing. They are exceeding the limit of time set to remain here..
 "We will not be here longer than 10 days" the captain told the Collec, tor of the Port when he arrived. This was the twelfth day. It is known that Captain Koenig is disappointed that he could not take advantage of the recent noreasters that kicked up such tremendous seas that the Brit ish warships had to run far out on the Atlantic
 The wireless apparatus was rigged up on the Deutschland, the tug Tim mons came from within the restricted zone where it had been standing guard over the submersible and took a position in which it could quickly connect a hawser with the Deutsch- land.
 ! n.German circles it was reported last night that Ambassador von Bernstorff and Prince Hatfield would pay a farewell visit to the Deutsch- land next Wednesday, and that she would not sail until Wednesday night or Thursday. While this report came from a reliable source, it may be that most interested ip the safety of the vessel are encouraging it's circulation in an effort to conceal the real plans. Captain Koenig, four other officers, and IA of the crew of the submarine took a night off last night. They went to Cannstatter park, in the suburbs, where the Austrian Red Cross society was holding a bazaar
 More than>10 1000 Germans and Aus trians greeted them.
 Captain Koenig made a speech in which he said:
 "we have all time to get better acquainted after a little while. l am glad to be with you, and I will see you again within few weeks. Balt- more has treated us of the Deutsch- land as they would treat men in their own household. When I came I thought I would meet only Germans who would be our friends. But now I am proud to say that have met
 hundreds of Americans, some very influential, who are with the cause of the Fatherland. God bless you and our country"
 F It developed in the last few days that a force of men had been keeping watch on the Deutschland. These are. no doubt, men in the employ of the Allies, detailed to report on the move ments of the submarine. Others have been stationed as strategic points all down the bay to the CapeS, ana so placed as to report the passage or the Deutschland. The idea, 1t was sald, vas to flash the news of the vessel 8 sailing; by relays to the allied war ships off the Virginia Capes.
 Captain Koenig is believed to have known this for several days. and this accounts for the shroud of secrecy the local German agents have thrown about the Deutschland.
 Captain Zach Cullison of the tug Timmins is on duty aboard the tug again. He spent four or five days around Norfolk, Newport News, Cape Charles, and the vicinity of the capes generally getting lines on the prob able number of British and French warships off the capes. and their ap- proximate distances beyond the thZee- mile limit. Officers and crow have re- mained closely aboard tho Deutsch- IS1nQ or IEe DIE 1utCIAco oo--iAe~AA steamer fJeckar.
 It was said that there was rot the slightest chance of the undersea frefghter diving before she left tho Patapeco river. This was the opinion of old mariners along tho waterfront, who pointed out that such e course would be hazardous ill tho extreme. Once out of tho river there are plenty of places off tho eastern shore of tho bay whore the submarine could dive for while to trim cargo and got all things shipshnpe for prolonged un- derwater dash. More provisions, 1n- cluding several barrels of beer. went aboard the submarine in the last few. hours. -t'. William Prusse, constructor, who
