ALL READY TO START

Baltimore. July 2s-The German
subsea freighter Deutschland, which
arrived at this port from Germany
three weeks ago tomorrow night with
a cargo of dyestuffs. lay Struggled in
her barricaded berth at Locust Point
tonight, already to start on her peril
Gus homeward voyage. The tug Thomas
F. Timmins, which met the Deutsch-
land at the Virginia capes and con-
voyed her to Baltimore, was close by
with steam up.
Officials of the Eastern Forwarding
company, the submersible's American
agents, refused to comment on the
Washington dispatch sent out late to-
day concerning the probability of her
sailing tomorrow. That they are con-
cerned about the boats safety during
her run down Chesapeake bay seemed
to be indicated in a report, regarded
as reliable, that 1T is planned to have
a second tug accompany the submarine
and the Timmins as far as the capes
to guard against the possibility of "ac-
cidents'' en- route.

made by the enemy to attack were sup
pressed by our fire.
| In the Meuse district there was no

British fire directed on French Confines
caused losses among the civilian popu-

damage.
"a hostile aeroplane was shot down

| Arras
Eastern front: Army group of Field

Army group of Prince Leopold OF
Bavaria: The engagements on the 'front.'

Gorodsche) which yesterday morning
were still in progress, have now been
decided completely in favor of the Ger
mans.
The Russians extended their attacks yes
terday to points IN the Stokhod sector
and on the front to the northwest OF
Sokul. The attacks were repulsed me
enemy's losses were very heavy Minor
advances at other places on the stokhod
also failed.
Northwest of Lutsk the enemy, after
several abortive attacks, succeeded in en-
tering our lines near Tristyn, winch
caused US to give up the lines which we
occupied beyond the River Stokhod. West
of Lutsk a Russian attack was stopped
by our counter-attacks. Near Zvinitcze,
east of Gorochov, the enemy was flatiy
repulsed A Russian aeroplane was shot

fleet of small craft, carrying news
paper correspondents, photographers
and sightseers. 1t is said, too, that the
Germans fear some British merchant
ship might go to sea in the wake of the
Deutschland, advertising her presence
to the allied cruisers waiting off the
Virginia capes or even attempting tc
ram her as soon as she left American
territorial waters.
Officials of the state department held
that. while American neutrality must
be fully safeguarded, it would be a
bad precedent for the government &c

attention to vessel which can he
