tween de facto government troops

So Considered After Official Investiea.
tion by Naval Experts.
Washington, July 12.-Official inves-
tigation, backed by the opinion OF
naval experts, shows that the Deuts,h-
land is merchant ship on the high
seas. The report by Capt. C. F.
Hughes of the United States navy
reached the state, department last
night. Acting Secretary Polk indi-
Gated after receiving it that the status
Of the ship was now satisfactory, Sc
far as this country is concerned. He
may refer the report to the navy
board, but it is unlikely this will
change the situation.
Recognition of the Deutschland as a
merchant ship now means that the Of
ficers and crew can carry on, unhin-
dered, any legitimate trade between
the United States and Germany, and
that the Deutschland can remain in
port until its captain desires to leave
4 In addition, it will enjoy the privi-
leges of peaceful commerce carrier
The reported intention of Captain
Koenig to take back cargo Of rub
Der is occupying attention, for the rea-
son that Great Britain has permitted
shipments Of rubber to be made from
British colonies to the United States
provided 1t did not reach the enemy
1t was said at the state department
that this government would have nc
authority to prevent rubber going back
on the Deutschland despite this un-
derstanding.
The question Of the right of Cap.
tain Koenig to take back nickel has
also cropped up. Shipments of nicke
to the United States from Canada, the
greatest producer of this metal, have
been allowed on condition that the
nicket does not go to Germany, but /
is not clear how the United States car
interfere If the German officers pur.
chase nickel and desire to include i,
in their cargo.

in the belief that the state department

of the treasury and navy men that the
submarine Deutschland is a merchant
ship, and therefore entitled to all priv

ceived offers running as high as $780,
900 for the privilege of taking passage
on the submarine on her return trip.

some persons" said a representative Of
the company, who said they would
pay any price we wanted. There are
