Deutschland Reaches American
Port Safely for Second Time

New London, Conn. German
merchant submarine Deutschland ar
rived in the harbor here early Wednes-
day morning.
Captain Koenig said the Deutschland
left Bremen on October 10. The en-
tire crew comprises 25 men. The
Deutschland appeared in the harbor
shortly after midnight and proceeded
to the dock of the Eastern Forwarding
company.
Captain F. Hinsch, of the Forward
ing company, accompanied by DR.. R.
E. Black, the health officer and other
officials, met the submersible on tug.
The usual quarantine regulations were
waived and the Deutschland tied up at
the dock near the North German Lloyd
steamer Willehad.
The Deutschland was said to have o
large cargo of chemicals and possibly
dyes.
The submersible, under her own
power, slid into pocket that had beer
prepared for her at the wharf. The
crafts entry into the harbor was sc
silent that only few persons were
aware that she was there.
Captain Koenig said that the boat
originally was supposed to leave or
October /, but she was injured in {
collision and put back to port, delaying
her sailing 10 days. The clearance
papers were made out for "Baltimort
or any Atlantic port.

American Contention on Blacklist
is Refused by Great Britain

Washington, D. C.-The next move
of the United States in the controversy
over the blacklist of American firms
will not be determined until officials
have had ample time to examine Great
Britain's, reply to the American note
of July 28, protesting against it. The
reply reached the State department
Monday from the London embassy.
Secretary Lansing said he had not de-
cided when it would be made public.
The note refuses the American con-
tention, which termed the blacklist
"an arbitrary interference with neu-
tral trade" but is understood to offer
methods of relief which may be avail
able in some instances to lessen the
rigors Of interference.
An American reply is almost certain
to be made, based on the contention
that the blacklist violates the criminal
treaty of 1915; that in singing out
certain American firms, undue discrim-
ination is shown and that an Illegal
action is taken, designed to prevent
trade with Germany and to end which
should be accomplished through block
ade and contraband restrictions. 1t
may be argued that the blacklist is de-
signed to cripple firms trading with
Germany to destroy German trade
more than for the immediate purpose
of war,

Kaiser Asks New War Loan;
Total Credits 81 Billion Marks

Berlin-A new war credit bill for
IL, 900, 900, 900 marks, was submitted
to the reichstag Saturday by Count
Won Roedern, secretary of the imper-
ial treasury, who also reviewed the
successes of the German war finances
and compared them with the practices
followed by the countries opposed to
Germany. Count Won Roedern said
that the total German war credits up
to now amounted to $4,000, 900, 600
marks. Explaining the practice of
the German treasury, the imperial
treasurer said:
"On the basis Of the war credit
granted by Parliament in all cases
short-term treasury bonds which were
regularly consolidated with long-term
loans in the months of March and Sep
tember were issued. The amount Of
more than $1,000, 900, 600 marks sub
scribed to these loans, Of which As.
900, 900, 900 marks already had beer
paid, proves the success Of this finan-
cling policy. The German nation in
1914 produced from its own resources
4, 500, 900, 900 marks in such loans; ir
1915 more than 81, 900, 600, 900 marks,
and in 1916. $1,000, 600, 900 marks
also.
"You will remember that the first
four loans were essentially Of the same
type, carrying 5 per cent interest ant
having approximately the same pric'
Of issue. There having been raised il
this fashion $4,000, 900 marks il
round figures the question seemed just
ified as to whether the fifth loan coult
be placed under the same conditions.

SkdfuI COuntdfeitd's Plant for
Making Bogus Bills is Found

Les Angeles-A counterfeiting plant
which was said to have produced the
notorious spurious $40 Federal Reserve
jackson silver certificate, was found
Sunday in the studio of H. Russell Will
ken, when secret service operatives
from San Francisco brought Wilken
here to seize the outfit after his arrest
in Santa Cruz and his alleged confess
sion that he had made and passed more
than $50, 900 Of spurious paper in sew
en- years.
The plant--a copper etching outfit
was found concealed in covered sink
in room on the second story Of 3l1
South Hill street, three blocks from
police headquarters and in the heart Of
the city. Wilken's quarters were fit
ted up as studio, and he pretended to
carry on business Of commercial
art, according to the authorities.
There were easels, unfinished pictures,
painting jacket and brushes about,
although Wilken apparently worked at
his profession only enough to make il
blind for counterfeiting.

not to ask for the assignment of any
certain number.
"The attempt to accommodate those
who have wished for the same number
each year, as well as those asking 70,
specified numbers, has proven unsatis
factory and impracticable," said Sec
retary Olcott, "and therefore requests
of this nature will receive no atten
tion this year" !"

Salem Statistics of this institu-

Speaking of the reformation of pris-
oners, the report says that rs per cent
of them can be reformed and the re-
manning rs per cent "are criminals by
nature, training and inclination" and
that "their entire lives will be spent
either in some penal institution or
dodging one" The rs per cent sus-
ceptible to reformation are "unfortun-
ate victims of passion, financial diff
culties, careless raising, unfavorable
environment and weakness in the face
Of temptation" says the report. The
segregation of prisoners is recon-
mended.
