Storm Forces Allies
Ships Further to Sea

Norfolk. July PA driving rain
storm swept the coast to-day, and the
rough water about the Capes forced
the Allied cruisers on vigil to deeper
water. Only one was visible to-day,
and il looked like a Frenchman. This
ship remained at the tive-mile buoy,
despite the choppy sea.
Ii is generally believed here that the
submarine Bremen is not due before
Thursday or Friday morning. Il is
thought that the Bremen did not clear
until the Monday on wl6ch the Deutsch-
land docked at Baltimore, and it Is
figured that it would take the subma-
rine sixteen days to reach the Capes,
the time consumed by the Deutsch-
land. This would put the Bremen of
the Capes about Thursday.
Some persons believe the Bremen is
now somewhere off the Capes, that her
commander is in communication with
agents ashore and that he is waiting
for the Allied warships TO relax their
vigilance, when the Bremen will dash
into the bay.
Waterfront experts say that II the
Bremen is off the shore she is missing
an admirable chance in this stormy
weather to dash into the bay unob-
served.

KAISER YEARNS
TO ENTER TRENCH
Grieves That He Cannot
Take Active Part in Fight
ing, He Tells Soldiers.

London, July 24.-Emperor William,
during his recent trip to the rear of
Pcronne, on the Somme front, says a
dispatch to the Wireless Press from
Berne, made a speech to the German
wounded soldiers which is attracting
great attention in Germany. The En-
peror is quoted as saying:
at is the most poignant grief Of my
life that | am unable TO take a more
active part in this war. 1t is my earn
est desire TO take my place in the
trenches and to deal such blows at our
enemies as my age and strength would
permit
81 could take my place with the
Youngest of you, and | promise that |
would leave my mark on the enemy.
But the inscrutable Almighty has willed
otherwise. Into my care has been COM
mitted by divine destiny the leadership
of our country, its armies and its
forces on land and sea.
"The burden of thinking, deciding
and leading has been hard upon me, and
realizing this, know that my life must
not be risked in the foremost line of
battle. where my feelings, If unre-
strained, would carry me swiftly.
"My life must be conserved carefully
for the welfare of Germany, in order
to carry out the duties assigned TO me

on Blacklist To-day

London, July Accommodation
still are passing between the govern
ment and Ambassador Spring-Rice re
gsrding the British blacklist, but until
after Ambassador Pages talk with Lord
Crewe tomorrow no definite step is
likely to be taken.
The present disposition OF the gov
eminent is not 10 attach itself TO any
precedent, but 20 stand firmly on its
sovereign rights toward British subjects.
Nothing indicates the slightest present
possibility of withdrawal Of the list,
but it is most probable that Lord Crewe
will assure Ambassador Page that every
safeguard will be taken to meet Ameri-
can feelings. He also will emphasize
the fact that those persons listed will
be given every chance to prove that
their names ought TO be removed.
British newspapers scarcely comment
on the subject. printing only the most
meagre kilograms from the United
States, although no official embargo has
been placed on their free comment.
At the Foreign Office to-day it was
stated that it was quite incorrect to say
a grave situation had arisen. Nothing
in the nature of protest has yet been
received, and neither side has had
chance fully TO state its position.

BRITAIN TO CONSULT
DOMINIONS AFTER WAR
Aid Will Be Asked In CONNER
cial Problems, Says Asquith.

London, July 24.-Premier Asquith
made it clear in the House OF Commons
to-day that the appointment Of COM
mittee to consider commercial prob
lens after the war, which recently was
announced, would not interfere with
the holding Of q larger conference IN
which the dominions would participate.
Replying to questions, he said:
The government desires as soon as
possible to convene a conference OF the
representatives Of the United Kingdom
and the dominions and India to con-
slider the commercial policy to be adopt
ed after the war.
"In view of the past fiscal contro-
versies in this country We think 1t es-
sential as a prior stage. in order that
the conference may have practical re-
suits, TO set up a committee here to
discover how EAR an agreement among
ourselves is possible under the changed
conditions brought about by the war.
The appointment Of this committee
will not interfere in any way with
free and unfettered discussion of the
problems with the overseas representa-
tiyes"

Boston on the Lookout
for Submarine Bremen
tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune

tBy Telegraph 70 lhe IrDuheJ
Boston, July 24-In response to
suggestion by custom official that
there might be news off Boston Light
late tonight or tomorrow morning.
Boston newspapers sent tug down the
hsrbor this evening to watch for the
German submarine freighter Bremen.
All-day quarantine officials had boat
patrolling of the light, ten miles from
Boston proper. At the Navy Yard the
torpedo boat Henley. commanded by
Lieutenant Z. A. Mcintyre, was waiting
oroers to meet the submarine.
The Chamber of Commerce's marine
observer at Hull was questioned over
the telephone frequently during the
day. He caused excitement late in the
afternoon by reporting foreign war
ship off Minot's Light The vessel was
apparently 500 feet long. Her flag could
not be distinguished. Through his
glasses he could see men in the crows
nest. The vessel turned near the light
and headed out to sea at full speed
toward Cape Ann. She was supposed
TO be a French or British vessel on the
lookout for the Bremen.
Since Saturday Boston morning
papers have been holding men over
time, prepared for extras il the Bremen
should arrive.

Believes Hope for Bremen Gone.


An old sailor who has become init
mately acquainted with the Deutsch-
lands sailors during their two weeks
sojourn here said that it had been in
tended originally to remain here until
the Bremen passed the Capes on its
way to Baltimore. That the Deutsch-
land is preparing to depart without
news of such arrival is accepted by him
as evidence that officials of the Eastern
Forwarding Company. American repre-
sentatives of the owners of the
Deutschland, have abandoned hope OF
its safe arrival.
even after the Deutschland dives it
will not be safe from attack" the sailor
said. First, it must be remembered
that its hulk can be seen and will offer
a splendid target for British gunboats
at a distance of eighteen or twenty
miles. From their fighting tops they
can see the submarine on the surface
many miles further than the subma-
rine's observer can see them. 1t takes
the Deutschland nearly two minutes to
submerge, and that time would mean a
lot to good gunners on Allied boats.
"Then, too, the microphones on board
all the boats outside the three-mile
limit at the Virginia Capes will tell the
Allied police boats just when the sub
marine appears in their neighborhood.
with this feet on watch, their pres
tige depending on capturing the
Deutschland, it would not be at all sur
prising to learn that shot had sent it
down within a few hours after it passes
out Of neutral waters.
Nobody expects the Deutschland to
receive warning. 1t will not surrender,
and the Allied cruiser and motor boat
feet will not give it an opportunity to
do so, any way, fearing that it would
escape them. 1t is victory or death for
the Deutschland's crew, with venge-
ance."
And the crowds that gathered on the
piers here tonight felt certain that
they we're viewing the departure Of
friends TO certain death.
