DAY OF DEUTSCHLAND'S
DEPARTURE MYSTERY
Koenig Says He Will Leave in
Daylight
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

New London, Conn, Nov. Dust
what day or hour the submarine
Deutschland will leave here on her re-
turn trip to Bremen is a conjecture.
Captain Koenig has promised to take
his craft out of the harbor on the sur
face in broad daylight, so that every
one may have a view of the under
sea boat. No one. aside from the Off
cials and employees about the State
Pier, has been fortunate enough TO see
the submersible this week, visitors be-
ing excluded from the wharf, where the
craft is loading nickel. crude rubber
and zinc.
The Deutschland has not received the
full cargo that she will transport across
the Atlantic and the Eastern Forward
ing Company officials say that she will
not leave for a few days.
Both British and French warships
are believed to be cruising off Montauk
and Block Island, lying in wait for the
submarine, and il would not surprise
New London if the submersible quietly
took her departure under cover Of dark
ness.

TOO MUCH TINE
FOR CONVENTION
The Delegates Puzzled to Know How
Four Days VIII Be Spent.

x. F. Murray in News and Courier.
st Louis, June 14,-How to keep
the national convention going for the
four days promised to St Louis is
the only problem that is giving much
trouble to the Democratic leaders,
but this problem is worrying them
pretty seriously
Among the devices which have been
adopted to prolong the performances
is that of having the nomination of
President Wilson seconded by each
State in a set speech.
Groans, not loud, but deep, have
been heard in the hotel lobbies and
wherever else the delegates gather
since this plan, contemplating nearly
half hundred seconding orations be-
came generally known.
Cant make me listen to EN- was
the favorite statement fit for publi-
cation. There is absolutely nothing
legitimate to keep the convention in
session more than two days.
1t is feared that many of the dele
gates will break away and go home
anyhow before the long program is
finished.
I'm willing to pay the hotel for
four days, whether I stay or not, y
said a delegate this evening to a
group of approving colleagues, "but I
am not willing to waste my time here
for four days when two would be suf-
fcient, or three at the outside. 1t is
farce to use us in this way, merely
to give the city of st. Louis a run for
it's money"
