To Prevent Auto Thefts.

A Philadelphia firm has recently Of fered for sale a clever tag, intended to prevent the loss of an automobile by theft, says the Indianapolis News. The tag consists of a metal plate which bears the inscription: If this car is driven with this plate on, it is a stolen car" This plate locks over the license number. One company which insures automobiles has ordered 100, 600 plates, and expects to use them in connection with it's policies.

 Did you catch any of my laborers in motion?" asked the old man curiously
 Sure. I did,"
 The farmer shook his head re. ilectively, and then said:

THINK U.BOATS WILL
SOLVE DYE SITUATION
Manufacturers Urge u. S. Aid
for ImpOrtatiOns.

Washington, July 11.-While the
cargo of dyestuffs brought to the
United States by the German subma-
rine Deutschland is only a drop in
the bucket" according to officials OF
the Department of Commerce, Amer
lean manufacturers are nevertheless
much encouraged over what they re-
gard as the bright prospects.
Only a short while ago an Ameri-
can manufacturer connected with one
of the largest establishments in the
world, in which huge supplies of dye
stufrs are used, complained of the
exorbitant price demanded for the
American product. He declared that,
whereas he had been accustomed to
paying only $3.50 ton for dyestufs,
now he was "held up" for $4,000 ton
for the American product.
Because of this "unwarranted hold
up." the manufacturer declared that
his firm had been compelled to store
away 250,000 dozen pairs of hose TO
await the arrival of German dyestufs
or until the price of the American
product came down.
"If the United States government
will take the proper steps to insure
the necessary imports OF dyestutis
from Germany. the manufacturer Will
do all the investigating that is nee
essary to secure foreign markets 1of
his goods" declared the manufacturer

Shows Germany's Arm
Reaches Far.
SAY DOZEN COULD
NOT HURT BLOCKADE
Deutschland Would Be Sunk If
She Submerged In Dan.
ger, Editors Assert.

London, July live are quite
ready to join in the laugh against our
selves and to applaud the skill and dar-
ing Of the captain, who appears to us
as a sportsman who has earned mis-
laurels cleanly," says "The Manchester
Guardian" referring 10 the German
submarine Deutschland.
"The Guardian" says that the plans
for submarines of 5000 to 1000 tons ex-
listed in Germany and England before
the war, but that such vessels were not
built because Of the time required to
submerge them and the impossibility
of submerging in shallow water.
1t points out that the Australian sub
marine A-E went from Australia TO
the Dardanelles, and says that If the
captain and crew Of the Deutschland
are members of the imperial German
navy the submarine may be dealt with
as a naval auxiliary. Otherwise she is
blockade runner. which could be or
dered to stop, and if she attempted to
submerge it would be justifiable to
sink her.
at is unlikely continues The
Guardian that the moral of the ap-
pearance in American waters Of Ger
man submarine will be missed, after
the threats of Count Won Reventlow
and the other Tirpitz writers last
sprirg. They warned America she was
not too far away for Germany's arm
to reach her. Although the Deutsch-
land may be disarmed. she is none the
less threat to the American navy"
THE Daily Graphic" says:
"While the submarine trip does
credit to German enterprise and sea-
manship, it leaves the maritime situa-
tion where it was before. The risk of
disaster is immense and the capacity
of submarines to carry commodities
which Germany needs is insignificant.
"The Daily Express" asserts that il
a dozen German submarines were to
reach America they certainly would not
affect the blockade.

French Unimpressed

Paris. July 1.-THE expedition Of

real commercial significance because Of

Senator Henri Berenger raises the

countenance such voyages. He says the
liberty Of the seas is based on the fact
that merchant ships are always subject

whether the United States will not in

A. Heckscher, "Tin Plate
King" Sends Check as
Token of Esteem.
EACH MAN ON LINER
WILL RECEIVE $344
Yacht Club Commodore Admires
Courage of 20 Who Shared in
Deutschland's Feat.

August Heckscher, the "tinplate
king" gave the crew Of the under-sea
merchantmen Deutschland a $4,000
check yesterday, to be divided among
them as token Of his admiration.
News of the gift came from Charles
Won Helmolt, manager Of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company,
who received the following letter from
Mr.. Heckscher:
"As promised over the telephone this
morning, take great pleasure in send
ing you herewith my check for slo''
900 to the order Of your company
which would like to have you and
YOUR associates distribute among the
officers and men Of the German u
boat just landed at Baltimore, and
which | tender in token of my admra-
ton for their gallsntry, their sea.
manship and their matchless cour-
age"
Mr.. Won Helmolt informed Mr.. Heck
scher that he had indorsed the check
to Captain Paul Koenig and forwarded
it. There are twenty-nine men in the
crew of the Deutschland. and the gift,
if evenly divided, will make for each
man a present of s344.s3.
Mr.. Heckscher, VINO is commodore
of a yacht club and owner of speedy
motor yacht, was reluctant Yesterday
to say anything about his gift.
1T is nothing" he said, except
that | think those splendid fellows
have performed feat that all marine
history will call remarkable. 1t is not
what do that is interesting. but what
they did which was wonderful. They
are brave and able seamen. and | want
them to feel that their skill is ap-
preciated.
"This, of course, was not done in a
pro-German feeling, but was prompt
ed purely by my admiration for the
way those sailors did, successfully,
the unheard-of. They brought through
two blockades a merchant vessel-yes,
she can be called nothing but mer-
chant vessel"
Mr.. Heckscher's yacht, the Ca
brilla, is a 750-horsepower boat. liz
feet long, on which he commutes from
his summer home in Huntington,
Long Island. The Cabrilla saves him
an hour a day travelling, and with
his secretary aboard he attends to
business affairs as the yacht ploughs
through the Sound.

whether she sails on the surface Of the
sea or beneath it,"
Count Won Bernstorff said that he
had not discovered any message from
his Emperor to President Wilson in
the mail brought to him in the sub
marine, but he admitted that there was
much official correspondence in the lot.
"You must not forget that We have had
no mail from Germany for many days"
he said. Here was the first chance to
send it to us and, Of course, there was
a great deal Of it."
II want to again impress on you that
this is an entirely unofficial trip Of the
Deutschland, and the return Of the boat
will be made in the same capacity. The
submarine, should say, however, will
not start on it's return for several
weeks. Certainly not for at least two
weeks. When it does return | shall be

The prospect of a libel action that
may be started by Simon Lake, in

SCORES DENIED PASSAGE
ON THE DEUTSCHLAND
Thousands of Dollars Refused
for Return Trip.

Charles Won Helmolt, manager of the
North German Lloyd Line, said yester-
day that many requests had been re-
ceived for passenger transportation on
the return trip of the Deutschland, the
submarine liner now at Baltimore. The
applicants offered large sums for pas
sage, he said, but all of them had been
denied. 1t was learned that the offer
made on Monday of $4,000 for a pas
sage had been raised many thousands
by an applicant yesterday.
When asked concerning the nature
of the return cargo, Mr.. Won Helmolt
refused to reply.
At the Offices of the Transatlantic
Cable Company all information was re-
fused as TO the recent advertisement
that money would forwarded to the
Central Powers by submarine.
"Will money or money orders be sent
to citizens of the Central Powers by
the Deutschland ," was a question that
went unanswered.
"Is it probable that coming subma-
rines will bring German gold or Sc
curities 20 bolster up German ex-
change?"
why should they" was the counter
question. German exchange may be
low. but German credit is good. No
body expects Germany to pay now, with
the seas closed against the expectation
of her goods"
The feeling seemed TO be that COM
merce between Germany and America
was no less a matter of interest and
importance to America than TO Ger
many.
