Paul Koenig, master Of the German

to leave port on his return voyage

Captain Koenig expressed sausfac-

that three American naval officers

feet that not only was she an unarm.

constructed that's he could not be con-
verted into a war craft without vir-
tually being rebuilt. Captain Koenig
said he could only reiterate that the
Deutschland, like other submarines
built or building for Germanys new
undersea merchant fleet was designed
solely as freight carrier.
At least eight OF the vessels, 1t was
learned here now are building at Kiel
and with these in addition to the

many expects, in a measure, to re.
establish her lost commerce and mail

The possibility that the Deutsch
land might be pierced for torpedo
tubes was the chief concern of the

Captain c. r. Hughes, who inspected
T the vessel. Not only were none found
but an examination Of the forward
part Of the vessels hull where tor
pedo tubes naturally would be located
revealed, 1T was learned, that the
structure was not substantial enough

sense

Washington. - Department COM
manders Of National Guardsmen now
mobilizing for service on the Mexican
border, were instructed by the War
Department to defer transportation to
the frontier until the militiamen
have been thoroughly equipped and
organized. This order revokes rul-
ing issued by the department when
the Mexican situation was acute,
which waived certain requirements.
About $4,000 men are affected.
The latest information Of the De-
partment is that about 100000 Ma
tional Guardsmen now are at the
border. With the $4,000 regulars
there are 5000 additional men called
from the reserves, officials estimate
that the American strength on Dor.
der service within few weeks will
be adequate to cope with any present
emergency and will make unnecessary
the dispatch Of any more guardsmen
until they are completely equipped
and organized.
Published stories that use Of q
general draft was being considered
to fill the National Guard ranks were
denied by the Department The fol-
lowing statement was issued by the
Official Press Bureau.
"The statement that the War De.
partment is contemplating the draft
system to recruit the National Guard
is nonsense. Statements to that ef
feet are purely speculative and have
no basis in fact"
Reports that National Guard units
are being supplied poor and insult
ficient food are not borne out in
preliminary telegraphic reports re-
ceived from all the Department COM
manders.
A message from General Funston
reported that General Trevino had
sent many troops south with the in.
