J. 5. OFFICIALS WILL
 VIEW DEUTSCHLAND
Washington to Make Certain
 ShG Is Not WarshIp.

While the submarine liner Deutsch- land is unloading her $10,O0O.00 cargo of jewels, drugs, stocks and bonds at New London, Conn, navy and customs officials are making n careful investi- gation to determine anew the status of the craft. The Deutschland has been entered as a commercial vessel, but to make certain that every neutrality pro. vision has been observed an inspection by both naval and customs officials was decided upon at Washington.
 Commander Yates Stirling. Jr.. head of the naval station at New London, arranged to go aboard with his aides, in conjunction with James McGovern. collector of customs of this district. The latter had conferred with Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo, who was at Hartford, regarding the questions involved in the Deutschland's reap pearance.
 The announcement of the Deutsch- lands manifest has been awaited with curiosity. Captain Koenig estimated the cargo to total S10,OOO.OO0 in value. consisting largely of drugs and dye stuffs, but said there were possibly SC. curities and precious stones among the cOnsignments.
 AS the Deutschland on her trip t0 Baltimore carried only S1."00,000 worth of freight which bulked as large as her present shipments, 1t was con sidered probable that most of tho S1O.- 100000 valuation was represented hy securities or stones.
