so as to have them all ready for use
again outside the capes.
No information is obtainable at the
Navy Department as to whether the
United States government intends to
establish patrol Off the capes to see
that neutrality is observed and that
the British cruisers lying in wait there
do not pounce upon their prey within
the three-mile neutrality limit. A re-
port published few days ago that
the torpedo boat destroyers Paulding
and Drayton had been sent to the capes
for this duty is not borne out by the
naval orders. which show that these
destroyers did not go south, but in
stead joined the fleet off Newport.
In some quarters there have been
rumors that boat in the employment
of the allies might follow the big Ger
man submarine down the Chesapeake
bay from Baltimore when she drops
down toward the capes. with orders to
attempt to destroy her, or to give
information of the submarine to the
British cruisers outside the capes But
in well informed quarters it is believed
that the allies would not go to any
such lengths. and will not break the
neutrality of the United States in that
way. because of the hard feeling that
would be engendered against them in
the United States by such move.

well known that British cruisers are
lying off the capes. They have been
patrolling those waters, steam up, ever
since the war began, and larger vessels
than the Deutschland have succeeded
N slipping by them. On a dark night
or foggy or misty evening the Brit
ish ships would have the greatest
difficulty in spottfng the Deutschland
with their seafchlights, working over
such a great expanse of sea as is pre-
sented outside the capes at the three
mile limit. To,hnd the submarine with
searchlights would be like finding a
needle in a haystack. naval officers say,
and if she were picked up with the
lights the result would be almost a
miracle.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Judge Alfred

the relief of East Prussia, a passenger

long talk with Emperor William just

Washington hoping to enlist support
of President Wilson in a plan to re-

Judge Nippert declared that the
American commission had accom-

pated for the relief of the inha bitants
of the devastated part of Germany.
The purpose of my mission to Eu-
rope on behalf of the American COM
mission for the relief of East Prussia

Cossacks Made Clean Sweep.

The Cossacks made a clean sweep of
many districts. killing cattle, burning
houses and, as a final tribute, driving
off more than 100000 women and
children. Across the Russian frontier
many of them fell victims to the bliz-
yards of the steppes and prairies of
Russia, while scores died for want of
food and clothing.
Judge Nippert said he brought no
official communication to the President
from the emperor, but intimated he
had much to tell President Wilson of
his conference.
During his talk with the emperor,
Judge Nippert stated, the German ruler
expressed his confidence of ultimate
victory for the German arms, saying:
Such a people as my people are not
made for defeat, but are destined for
victory. Every man, woman and child
is doing his or her duty both in the
home, factory or trenches"

Precedents Are Cited.

This position, it is said by those who
hold it, is amply backed by precedent,
Great Britain herself having made OBJ
jections to attempts to injure the trade
of an enemy at the expense of neu-
trail. These officials regard it as clear
ly established by international law that
the output of a German concern or
even a German controlled corporation
in the United States is to be regarded
as having the same status as the prod
uct of an American establishment. The
United States Supreme Court and high
joint commissions have adjusted many
claims in the past, it is pointed out,
upon that principle.
The long list of American firms and
individuals blacklisted was gazetted

HARD TASK AHEAD
FOR U-bOAT Liner
Capt. Koenig Faces Big Prob
lem Escaping Warships
at Capes. .-
WATER NOT DEEP ENOUGH
INSIDE THREE-MILE LIMIT
Undersea Craft Cannot Submerge
in Protected Area, So Must
Await Dark Night.

The problem faced by Capt Koenig,
commanding the big German submarine
Deutschland at Baltimore, as to how
he is to get his ship past the patrol of
British cruisers off Cape Henry and
Cape Charles, at the mouth of the Ches-
apeake, is arousng the keenest inter-
est among naval officers in Washing
ton.
The consensus of opinion seems to be
that the German commander will make
his flight on the surface of the waters,
and at night, preferably a dark night,
or stormy. foggy or misty one. For
this reason there seems to be no like
lihood that Capt Koenig will make
his dash for safety for some days yet,
as it was said at the Naval Observatory
today that the present radiant moon
was full on the night of the 14h- Its
light will gradually decrease, night by
night, and the longer Capt. Koenig
delays his flight the better chance he
will have of giving his enemies the
slip in the darkness.
An examination today of coast and
geodetic survey charts of the waters
of Chesapeake bay and the ocean
around Cape Henry and Cape Charles
reveals the fact that it will not be pos
sible for Capt. koenig to submerge the
big submarine and go out under water.
The Deutschland requires forty five
feet of water for submergence, and the
soundings indicat ted on the charts of
the localities the Deutschland will
have to pass through show nothing
like that amount of water anywhere.

To Await Dark Night.

A naval officer said today that the
logical thing for the big German sub
marine to do is to wait for a dari
night, or a misty, foggy one. and ther
proceed to sea by hugging the coast
travelling on the surface On the sur
face she can make fourteen knots ar
hour. while submerged she cannot
make more than six or eight knots
Some officers believe that Capt. Koenis

Americans Trading With Prescribed
Firms Might Also Fall Un-

The State Department is preparing
vigorous representations to the foreign
office in London, in objection to the
placing of individuals and firms domi-
ciled in the United States on a black
list promulgated by Great Britain under
it's Trading with the Enemy" act
Much information has been gathered
in an investigation by the department.
which has been under way several
weeks.
The British government in its last
communication to the United States on
this subject said that the Trading
with the Enemy act was purely do
mestic legislation to restrict the activi-
ties and trade of persons under British
jurisdiction" The State Department,
however, is convinced that the act re-
strains American commerce.
Act Broad in Scope.
So broad is the scope of the act that
should any American firms deal with
those whose names appear on the
American list they may find themselves
added tout
Publication of blacklist for America
came as no surprise to the state De-
partment, which has been watching the
situation closely. Although withhold
ing formal comment until officially
notified of the development, many of
ficials are known to feel that it is no
concern of Great Britain's if firms in
the United States or their branches
aboard desire to trade with German
firms in other countries, and that while
Great Britain might have the right to
specify what merchandise should be
carried by her own ships, she has no
right to take discriminatory action
against the American concerns be-
cause of the business they do.
