May Begin Loading Today.

BALTIMORE, July 14.-Silence con-
tinues as to the date of departure of the
super-submarine Deutschland. The tug
Timmins, which met her at the capes
and conveyed her to Baltimore. remains
fastened at the pier day and night. She
is in such close proximity to the sub
marine that it probably would take only
ten minutes to get the latter from the
mooring into open water.
Nobody in authority would say when
the work of putting the return cargo
aboard would be commenced. The indi-
cations were. however. that the first of
it would be lowered into the hold some
time today.
A report that flying boat would be
sent to the capes for scouting purposes,
before the submarine makes her dash
for the Atlantic was denied by Capt.
Hinsch, in charge of the pier for the
Eastern Forwarding Company, and
Donald Mclean of the concern owning
the pier.

DISTRICT ARM0RY
BELIEVED IN SIGHT
House Committee to Make
Provision for Structure in
Public Buildings Bill.

Provision for the much needed ar
mory for the National Guard of the
District of Columbia undoubtedly will
be carried in the forthcoming public
buildings bill over which a subcommit-
tee of the House committee on public
buildings and grounds is working to-
day. The bill also will carry. it is be-
lieved. provision for three million
dollar marble home for the Department
of Justice.
News of the fact that the armory pro-
vision, introduced in the form of a
separate bill by Representative Dyer
of Missouri. formerly a member OF the
District volunteer regiment, would be
included in the omnibus bill was a sur
prise to many of the friends of the
measure, as the outlook for an armory
provision up to the last minute has
been discouraging.
Backed by Administration.
The Department of Justice item. being
backed strongly by the administration,
has always been favorably regarded. and
will possibly be looked upon as one Of the
strongest features in the omnibus meas
ure, which is to be opposed strongly.
The fact that these two items OF great
local interest are probably to be in the
bill does not forecast their passage by any
means, as there is most determined eff
fort now being made to block any attempt
to bring up for passage this omnibus
measure with it's many millions for little
buildings all over the country.
The armory section will probably pro-
vide for an 100000 building. with $50. 900
to be appropriated Immediately. AS Rep
resentative Dyer wrote the bill the site
provided for is on the government reser-
walton bounded by = street northwest
3 street southwest, 18th street northwest
and 14th street northwest. He also asked
building, but indications are the COM
Bill Urged by Commerce Chamber.
The National Guard committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is largely re-
sponsible for the success of the item
so far. This committee is composed Of
Winfield Jones, chairman; Thomas
Grant, John slaven and II. Oden Lake.
The Department of Justice item. in
troduced by Chairman Clark of the
public buildings committee. creates a
commission, to be composed of the
President Secretary of the Treasury
and the Attorney General. to supervise
plans and specifications for the build
ing The structure will be located upon
government property, presumably i'm
mediately south OF Pennsylvania ave-
nue. at 18th street.

NEUTRALITY BOARD GIVES
STATUS OF DEUTSCHLAND
State Department Is Advised That
Submarine Is a Peaceful
Merchant Craft.

An advisory report on the status OF
the German merchant submarine
Deutschland submitted to Acting Sec
rotary Polk of the State Department
today by the government neutrality
board is understood to hold that the
vessel is peaceful merchant craft and
entitled to all privileges as such.
Indications now are that the State
Department will make no formal an
nouncement concerning the submarine.
but that the Treasury Department will
be advised to permit her 20 clear and
sail from Baltimore whenever her cap
tain desires to start on his return
voyage.
Mr. Polk received the neutrality
boards report just before he went to
the White House to attend the cabinet
meeting. He intimated that formal
ruling by the department would be
necessary only in case the submarine
had been found to be warship, liable
to be ordered from American waters.
The neutrality board gave its advice
after considering the reports of navy
and customs officers who made a COM
plete examination of the Deutschland
and concluded that she not only was
unarmed, but could not be converted
for war purposes without extensive
structural changes.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Russians

any part of their front since they

here whether the crossings made by
the Russians have given them a firm

Gen. Won Bothmer. having received
