Local Naval Board of Strategy Says
Deutschland Has Gone; Just Decoy Left

Is the German submarine freighter
Deutschland now in the harbor of Bal
timore, or is that willy little submersi-
BILE now well on her way to Germany?
That is the question which is trying
to be answered today by the board of
naval strategy, which holds meetings
three or four times day at the Owl
and Century drug store corners.
Isn't 1t possible that the object
which the general public thinks is the
Deutschland, completely surrounded
by other craft owned by German com
panies and German sympathizers, is
not the Deutschland, after all, but
merely a decoy, left there when the
U-boat slipped down the Patapsco
river into the Chesapeake Bay through
the Virginia capes, and through cor
don of allied battleships, and to com
parative safety on the high seas?
Certain members of this board of
strategy think yes. And here is how
they reason it:
The German government knew that
1t would be impossible for the Deutsch-
land ever to depart from harbor, un-
der ordinary circumstances, without
the waiting battleships knowing of it
Therefore, it is but reasonable to as
sumo that they would devise some
method of throwing the spies in the
harbor off the track.
When the Deutschland came tc
America, she had false cover ovel
her, just as a trunk may have a false
bottom. This cover could easily be
removed, and made into floating
dock.
