SUBMARINE BREMEN
REPORTED CAPTURED
But the Naval Department of the Do
minion of Canada Denies Any
Foundation for Story

NEW YORK, July 28.-Another circum-
stantial report regarding the whereabouts
of the German super submarine Bremen is
that the ship has been captured by British
patroling squadrons and is today tied up
IN the northwest arm in the harbor of
Halifax, y. :. The report of the capture,
which is published here today, is given in
a letter said to have been written by the
secretary OF a high Canadian official to a
business man of this city. The letter is
declared to have been mailed from Buffalo.
y. y. two days ago and therefore could
not have been subjected to the scrutiny
of the Canadian censor. The letter wa.
written IN confidence, il is stated. but the
information IT contained was divulged by
the recipient to friend in the course of
an argument as to whether or not the
Bremen could pass through the British
barrier. The letter says: You seem in
New York to be worried about the Bre-
men. There il really no cause for worry
for at the present time she is tied up in
what we call the northwest arm in the
harbor OF Halifax and is being well taken
care of.

DEFENSE TOTAL Is
NOW S6S5,343,O1
Senate Adds 1913, ,97O,447 for Prepared
ness by Passing Biggest of All
Army Bills.

WASHINGTON, July 28-The largest
annual appropriation bill ever offered for
the support of the army was passed ves-
terday by the senate without roll call
vote. The amount carried bv the meas
1re is approximately S313,970, ,0o0, which is
an increase of Sl3l ,667 900 over the amount
appropriated by the house of representa-
tlves, where the bill originated
This large increase is due to the fact
that the mobilization of the National
Guard, with all the CONSEQUENT expendi-
lures for transportation, equipment. and
subsistence, was not provided for in the
budget as 1t was presented to the house
from Its committee on military affairs
The senate S action brought the grand
total for preparedness this wear nm to
$6S5, ,43.0I7. This, however. is subject TO
revision, because the army bill will follow
the naval bill into conference, where re-
ductions are probable, despite the firm at
titude of President Wilson in supporting
the liberal response of the senate to the
call for adequate defense
The appropriations for preparedness as
they now stand are as follows:
Army Observation-Disclosures. $343 ,970, Az 10
Fortitications tlaw) 1900. 25,748, ,050. 90
Military Academy .. 2.23S. .32S. 81
Army and navy deficiency. y ,55S. .34S %
As finally passed by the senate, the bill
shows net reduction from the senate mil
itary committees figures OF SlS,030,000 4
large part ot the increase in the approDria-
ton as compared with those of previous
years Is due to the reorganization and IN
crease OF the regular army by the act Of
June 3, 1916
The attitude of criticism in the senate
toward the mobilization OF the National
Guard along the Mexican border was again
displayed yesterday when Senator La Fol
lette moved an amendment providing re-
lief FOR the families OF National Guards
men. lie proposed the appropriation Of
$1,000 900 for this purpose, which senator
Lee OF Maryland asked to have increased
to - 800 900 Many senators said that
were continually receiving letters appeal

Departure of the Submarine Freighter
Deutschland Is Delayed In
definitely.

BALTIMORE, July 2S.-The growing
impression that the German submarine
trelghter, Deutschland, was delaying her
departure for Germany until word was
received from her sister ship, Bremen,
took on the appearance of fact today when
1t was learned from source regarded as
reliable that she would not sail until Off
elai information had been received from
the Bremen by her agent here.
This seems borne out by the statement
of Captain koenig at the customs house
last Wednesday when he was given clear
ance that circumstances and conditions
over which he or his agents had no con
troll were delaying his departure from
this port
