Va, July 9.-Bearing a ..zssage from Emperor William to n<ssidept Wilson, running the '.snntlet of innumerable dangers '3it es. sea sweeperS and enemy war al.,ps and bringing cargo of 750 Tzss of valuable dyestuffs, chemicals .8a mail. the German undersea mer- z5a antman. the Deutschland, quietly sl;bned into Chesapeake bay this @sSrning. the worlds first subma- SEp fin cross the Atlantic. She will 1shlrn with a cargo of rubber and zah her articles badly needed by Ger 4,6ny.
 Hhe Deutschland carries, mounted coming tower. two small guns aI about three-lnch caliber. No tor a4,lO tubes are visible. She is capa- 6h of submerging in less than two Minutes. On the surface of the wa |9r the submersible has a speed of 7<bm two to three knots an hour apre than the average merchant a{kamer.
 Eaptain Frederick Cooke, the Nor l8|k pilot and the first American to snard the Deutschland, said the 1ammander was extremely frank in Eating his mission to the United 8htes. that of instituting an under s8a merchant service and export 5asiness between the United States sAd Germany.

 Baltimore, Md, July iO.-Upon
 klivering his ships papers to the olHoe of the North German Lloyd |he Monday Captain Paul Konig of Ihe submarine merchantman outsehland issued a formal state Msnt declaring his voyage across a Atlantic had broken Englands F le of the seas.
 At the same time the captain dis |tsed of the report that he carried 6 xtnessage from Emperor William to Resident Wilson, saying that there *bs no foundation for the story.
 A The statement. typewriter on the q 'btionery of he Deusche-Ozea Rhederei C. M. B. H.. Berlin. an- 8uncd hatwhe Deutschland was the
 Fst of sev@ral submarines built for Hans- Atlantic trade. and that she xould be followed by the Brennan. I ln part Captain konig's statement bllows.
 # We have brought a most valuable Ergo of dystuffs to our American Hiends-dyestuffs which have been sp much needed Tn America and Hhich the ruler of the seas has not Flowed the great American republic p import. While England will not Blow anybody the same rght on the Hean because she rules the waves, Fe have by means of the submarine pmmenced to break this rule. Great Britain cannot, however, hlnder boats such as ours from spmlng and going as we please. Our Elp passing Dover across the ocean #as an uneyentful one. When dan ser approached we went below the tlrface and here we are safely in An American port and ready to re- prn In due course.
 Regarding things in Germany, I nay mention that everybody is con knced of the full final victory of ne German arms and those of our alles. All Poland and Courland, a sountry of the size of two-thirds of germany are since twelve months Rnder peaceful rule and the entire .0untry has been put under the HOW and thousands of acres will be 'erying for the next winters supply Fl foodstuffs. All Serbia. Montene- 'fo and a great part of Albania are II the same position Besides Bell gum, one-seventh of France is inl german hands and all in a flourish Fg agricultural state.
 Vur boats will carry across the euantie the mails and save them |fonl British interruption.
 We trust tthat the old friendly .eiatlonshlp with the United States IoIhg back to the days of Washing |ph when 1t was Prussia who was |iie llrst to help it attain it's fight for | Feedom from British rule. will | lWake afresh in your beautiful and | 'oNWyerful country"
 l nave seen said the captain, | .s1atements that we were forced to | Y hundreds of miles out of our Ibolrse In the Atlantic because of | RRTrLL1lsli warships. That is not so. | ny should we go out of our course 1 ,Acept to submerge? That is the | 'ni and most effective way to p,t N. out of our course. Besides, 1t is | 'agn sl,11 easier to submerge.
 we came to Hampton Roads by | H5e straight course from the English | snd s,aiilel Altogether from Helgo- a;Ia niiu to Baltimore we covered $500 'saas iaaes. of that distance 90 miles 'sls S,lT, dflyen under the water.
