MANY MEMBERS OF CREW
FEAR CRAFT WILL BIZ TRAPPED

Baltimore. Md. July ls.--With
much apprehension. the crew of the
Deutschland is awaiting the order that
will start them on their return pas
sage acIoss the Atlantic. 1t became
known today that many OF the men
fear they viii not te able to esea Pe
the dragnet being thrown out by the
allied cruisers now of the Virginia
Capes. IL is not the guns OF the
cruisers. nor the high powered rifles
in the little British patrol boats that
the Deutschland's men fear, but the
submarine nets that the British are
said to be spreading Just outside the
three mile limit. The members OF the
submarine crew have openly ex-
pressed this feeling 20 friends on Lo-
Gust Point.
I'VE are praying every night against
rhis danger and are getting our
friends to pray for us" said Second
Engineer Karl Fruechte TO a friend
with whom he has been spending his
evenings since the crew has been
granted shore leave This friend to-
day told the story OF the terror
stricken crew, not knowing at the
time that he was talking with a re-
porter. Knowing the tactics OF the
British and French and realizing that
scores OF German submarines have
been caught in the nets that were
stretched across the English Channel
the men that man the Deutschland
fear that the British will be able to
make effective this method off the
CapeS.
All food supplies were placed on
board the craft today. Among the
food stuffs were fresh water--twenty
tons of it--cooked meats. and bread
and fruit that will serve the crew for
a few days. After this has been used
up the men will begin to live on can
ned food. There will be no Ice water
the only thing with which to quench
their thirst will be water that is hot
from the heat OF the engine room.
Fuel oil to the amount of 1892 gal
Ions was pumped into the boat today.

inside Information

Washington July 1s.-rt was
learned today that President Wilson
tried 30 dissuade the British govern
meut from olacklsting American
firms under the trading with the en-
envy act. but met with a rebuff. This
evidence Of unfriendliness was accept
cd as axgravating a situation which
was described by one of the admins
trations highest legal officers today
as the most nenacing question pre-
scented during the war
1t was stated authoritatively that
as soon as the United States is off,
cially advised of Great Britain's arhi-
trary application of a measure of war
TO restrict American overseas trade
the United States will take aggres-
stve action. This governments prob
able course will be: First. to send a
protest to Great Britain against the
blacklisting OF American firms,
Second, to enact retaliatory legts-
lation II relief is denied, plan con-
stdered being TO pass q law intended
to prevent foreign vessels touching an
American port from discriminating
against any American individual or
firm. One method suggested is to re-
fuse clearance to such vessels.
Third. to prosecute under the COM
nerce laws any American ship owner
or master who refuses to accept a
cargo from a blacklisted American
exporter. Some cases of this kind
have been reported. The general pro-
test will be based upon the claim tina.
the blacklisting of Americans ana
American firms Is discriminatory and
unneutral 10 an extent that must be
considered unfriendly. 1t will also
be claimed that there Is no justiica-
ton Tor involving neutrals in any
trade war between belligerents. Ad-
ministration officials believed, unless
an amicable settlement can be had
through diplomatic channels. there Is
danger of a serious trade war be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
Redaliatory Legislation Certain.
That retaliatory legislation would be
urged was regarded a certainty II
Great Britain does not recede from
her course. Officials discussed the
possibilities of utilizing the antitrust
laws to check the operation OF the
British boycott. Thus far the bulk Of
the administrative work OF tabulating
the American firms suspected of
enemy connection has been done by
the trade bureau of the British en-
bassy. against which the government
Is powerless to act.
1t was pointed out, however, that
should any pro-British or pro-Ally or
ganization attempt to foster or carry
forward the plan. using the United
States as a base Of operations. 1t would
be amenable to prosecution or charges
of conspiracy in restraint OF trade.
No such combine has developed. 80,
Ear Hs officials know, but the effective
operation of the boycott might re-
quire such aid. and the Department OF
Justice q -cxpected to watch this phase
Of the situation closely.
