A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

1 'AI NAlI De tSOlnE llfll9 DeIere the re- ' tharkable voyage of the super-sub- ! mcrsible Deutschland is forgotten. And until then OF until that vessel ] leaves Baltimore .harbor bound .for 1 Germany with an American,c cargo, she will be ths subject .ef discussion in
 more than one circle. Her enemies ] may bc at this verya7 4m oment plan ! ni2G to trap her on the way out of these waters. Surely they are at this time searching every legal statute in the United States for the purpose of throwing up a barriersfa gainst her
 status as merchantman. @zRNt the
 United States Government which has ! the final say in all these matters has found nothing wrong with the Deutsch-
 land. She is a good and true mer-
 chantman. She will be viewed as such
 until other evidence than that al
 ready presented has been found. And
 there is little likHhood that such will ever eventuate.
 1@ The Deutschland is one of the big gest4 blessings that eyer showed itself off the Atlantic coast, that was ever
 puoted up the Chesapeake Bay. It comes as a comforting angel out of
 the black night $, It's main mission
 will be to refute some of the- mali
 cious islanders that were heaped upon the United States shortly: after Great Britain set ur the blockade against
 Germany and to a great extent pre- Vented che shipping of 7munitions of sAyaR stfret11 his country6to the Father 4 ,1and: f1 At that time ftswil1 be remem- lbered the aeousers said that America would sell only to fs1e.

Since the war started American traders have been neutral in this: They do not care who buys their stuff, so long as they are paid for it. And, as !.

 ness of Germany is courted, It is

 If the Deutschlahd'' does nothing else it will prove the neutrality of America. To this end it should be the wish of every American heart that she succeeds: in making a stlc- cessful journey back to her home port. carrying with her a consignment of American arms and munitions of war Then the German people may know that there never was any truth in the statetnent that this country did not want to sell it's wares to the Kaiser We are willing to sell to them all, | Kaiser, King and Merchant Prince.
