 Return Cargo Ready.
 A return cargo for the Deutsch- land consisting mainly of crude rub Hber and surgical supplies valued at more than s500,000 has been ready on the pier of the Eastern Forward ing Company for several weeks This cargo, made up in small packages, is <stowed in a shed of corrugated iron l 400 by 25 feet, built at the water s edge on one of the new state piers recently completed and leased by the Eastern Forwarding Company for an indefinite period.
 The Deutschland is securely berthed here. The North German Lloyd Steamship Willehad is made fast to cluster piling at a distance of about fifty feet from the pier, the stern of the ship hard and fast against the New London bank of the Thames River and in such position that with the ship on one side, the pier on the other and the bank at one end, an open water space 50 by 385 feet for the submersible is made en- closed on three sides. To complete the enclosure a floating gate built on pontoons is made fast to a piling set at the bow of the Willehad.
 Visitors Kept at Distance.
 Guards from the crew of the Will 1ehad, and private detectives em- ployed by the company keep all vis- ltors at a distance. To prevent the submarine being reached by water from under the piers, the piling di- rectly around the reserved space is heavily wired and the wires electri- cally connected with an alarm gong In the office of the company
 The pier shed was constructed aft sr the departure of the Deutschland from Baltimore, and the assem- bling of cargo was begun at once. It was announced at the time that a sister submersible, the Bremen, was mo- mentarily expected.
 The bringing of the Willehad from Boston to act as a mother ship for the merchant submarines, was accom- pEshed without incident.

drive on the Somme has been halted
by the exhaustion of the entente

says:

tanned by the British and French on
November 5, when they employed six
British and four and half French
divisions without success in an at

Sars and Bouchavesnes, they have
been unable to drive forward for large

slides, the general says he is moved
to go into the subject again only
because of the many false reports

Such reports are false and there
is no foundation for them." he de-
clares, yet they seem to have gained
credence, probably because a pending
treaty between the United States and
Nicaragua contemplates securing
from the latter all rights for building
a canal on its territory"
Such reports, General Goethals
added, serve to aid shipping compan-
les TO take advantage Of present con-
ditions to charter ships at excessive
rates and permit an increase in in
surance rates. He protests particu-
larly against a widely published re-
port made by Prof. Benjamin Leroy
Miller, of Lehigh university, on his
return to the United States after
spending three or four hours looking
over the canal. General Goethals
says Prof. Miller's statements were
erroneous, unwarranted and unfair"
