REGIMENT REALLY
 GRABBED HER KISSES

Clear1eld, Pa., July 11.-"Miss Mary Hainessy," the girl who kissed 91 members of the Eighth Pennsylvania Infantry, missing only 60 before break fast Saturday morning, found herself so famous in this neighborhood, un- accustomed as it is to osculatory es- capades, that she spent yesterday hid ing from inquisitive newspaper men and friends.
 Her real name is Elma Hughes and she lives with her two sisters at Clear field and William streets She is very pretty and yesterday morning seemed very modest She gave several of the soldiers slips of paper with name and address, but the names were vart- ous and the addresses all those of empty lots.
 Maybe it is my fault thatfI kissed the first man. she said yesterday, rbut really, the other boys just would not let me go. They would kiss me and bring up their friends, and, you see, had to be fair.
 Some folks gave the boys good things to eat, and others gave them tobacco. I wanted to give them some thing, and had nothing but kisses to give. And now it's all over; I don't believe there is a man in the Eighth Pennsylvania who will ever forget Cleardeld."

UNDERSEA BRIGHTER PAID FOR BY PROFIT
 ON HER MAIDEN TRIP

British and French vessels, so close indeed that we coult detect the sound of their prope1lers through our micro phones We had two of these little instruments. They are underwater telephones" ..--
 Taking up the direct story of the voyage, the captain continued,
 We left Bremerhayen at noon of June IA. In addition to the cargo we carried 300 tons of iron for bal last. Accessible cargo that was heavy enough was not to be had. so we brought along the iron. In addition we were given three packages of mail from the Foreign Office to be deliver ed to Ambassador won Bernstorff. This I turned over this afternoon to Herr von Haimhausen. Coupcillor to the German Embassy.
 'SThe trip proves absolutely to my mind that a modern type submarine such as the Deutschland can travel 13,O00 miles without refltting or, stop ping for fuel.
 we had no serious accident, no trouble with our engines or submerg- ing apparatus, and had more than double the amount of fuel needed.
 we had 20 tons of fresh water. A quantity remains. ' Our food consist ed entirely of canned and timed food. We ate fruits, meats and vegetables just as Americans do.
 srWe left Heligoland on June 23 and headed across the North Sea. Almost all the time we travelled at a steady speed of 13 or A knots on the sur face of the water.
 "In fact, we travelled very little under water. Only 91 of the $500 miles were done under water. Our practice was to submerege for a very short time the moment we sighted an enemy ship. We went under five times in the North Sea, six times in the Atlantic Ocean.
 ''The longest period we remained under water at any one time was ten hours. This was in the North Sea If necessary we could submerge for four days. Then we would be forced to come to the surface to recharge our oxygen batteries.
 "Once we went down almost fifty fathoms.< This was the time we re- mained between the waves all night. You see, we had sighted English de- stroyers and merchantmen."
 Q -'tAnQ what mas the tTlp pTONeu about the carrying and slowing of a cargo on submarine?" he was ask ed.
 "That the weight must be packed ,so that she pivots around just the right part of herself,' he answered.
 "That may sound very simple, but 1t is in fact most difficult. Each boat is special case. requiring special handling. And you can see how much importance our company lays on this whole point, when it sends over here a man like Schiffsbaumeister Prusse, of the Germapja-Werft, of Kiel, sim- ply to superintend the stowage."
 And what about the possibilities of your sinking like any other ship. as you ride the surface?" he was ask ed.
 :! we are not like any other ship" was the confident answer. we are like a lifeboat. like life raft. Wind and waves cannot sink us. We had some rough weather both at the be- ginning and at the end of the trip. So we've had a chance to judge'

Baltimore. July 11-With $1,000,- 900 worth of highly concentrated dyes still packed in her hold, the pioneer of submarine merchantmen, wonder ship of the great war; lies at her spec ially prepared wharf, strongly guard ed by police.
 Her commander. and his officers are frankly delighted and a little sur prised at the hearty welcome they have received. They confess they had misgivings and were prepared, if American sentiment had run against their enterprise, to turn and go home.
 Carefully inspected by an agent of the Department of Justice, as we'll as by the Surveyor of the Port, the Deutschland has had no trouble in demonstrating her peaceful charac- ter. Her sole armament consists of four revolvers. the personal toys of officers, and species of popgun used for firing rockets.
 Chased as Merchantmen.
 Collector Ryan's report to Wash ington places the Deutschland unques- tionably i'll the merchantman class, and it seems unlikely that even the diplomatic representatives of the al- lies will make any protest against the classification.
 On her maiden trip the Deutsch- land has more than paid for her con- struction. Her commander Captain Paul Koenig. said so yesterday. The cost of building her was $500,000, which is easily wiped out by the profit to be derived from her $1,000, 900 car- go.
 Moreover, she is merely the path finder of a fleet of eight submersible cargo carriers which will soon be shutting the Atlantic in mockery of the British blockade.
 The second vessel of that fleet, the Bremen, may be looked for along the coast in about eight weeks, according to Captain Koenig.
 After being dined and wined at the German club and receiving the congratulations of Count von Bern storff through a personal envoy, Cap tain Koenig told his story to the re- porters.
 Outdid Jules Verne.
 It was story that outdid Jules Verne in some ways, for the company in that authors "Nautilus' had no photographs to entertain them under sea- nor did they read the literature of an enemy country, as Captain Koenig confesses that he and his staff regaled their minds with Shakespeare, Dickens and W. w, Jacobs.
 "A quiet little trip" Captain Koenig called it. He himself is a quiet, lit tie man. short and square, with a face full of wrinkles, He has no fear of the British navy, no vmisgivings about the safety of the Deutschland on her return trip. He said, with a smile:
 eff the British do not violate the International Jaw by coming within the three-mile limit we shall slip by them without being seen. This was our experience on the voyage over. Although we sighted scores of war and merchant ships, am positive we were not seen by single vessel from the moment we left HeligoIand on June 23 until we arrived off Norfolk yesterday morning.
 Often we passed very close to

Washington, July 11-Apart from diplomatic efforts to cause the deten- ton of the German submarine Deutschland in Baltimore, the British government is preparing to block its return voyage by means of a cordon of warships outside the three mile limit. It is understood today that specially constructed motor boats, or >"subrnarine catchers," as they are termed in the British navy, are to be despatched to the Virginia capes.
 Five hundred of these motor boats have done excellent work in the British Channel. Many of them came originally from the United states unarmed and have been equipped with three-inch guns and their crews. put through training to detect and run down the undersea boats. It Is not known whether they are coming across the Atlantic under their own power or whether they will be brought over on other ships.
 American naval officers here do not share the opinion advanced by the Germans that it will be very simple matter to escape. They ~also are scepticaI about the ability of the Deutschland to remain four days un- der water. They admit. however, that the Deutschland probably can make appreciable speed even at a depth of 100 feet, and regard the task of running down the undersea boat as extremely difficult.
 Naval officers admit that to all ap- pedrances- the submarine has great advantages in eluding capture, but they point out that it is not as simple as it looks. The danger for the sub marine, they say, is the reduced cruis- ing radius when submerged.
 Whether British warships can, un- der international law. fire at the Deutschland without warning is a question still discussed by officials here. As merchantship the Deutschland is entitled to the same privileges as any other merchant ves- sel. The United States is on record asc ontending most emphatically that merchant ship must be warned, that its papers must be rescued and that visit and search must be exercised before she can be destroyed.
 we will cross that bridge when we come to it." was the reply of Act ing Secretary of State Polk to specific questions on that point.
