London. July 24.-The foreign Office
issued statement saying: The extent
to which the Dutch fishing feet has
been engaged In furnishing supplies to
Germany has for some time past been
engaging the serious attention of tho
British government. 1t is well known
that about 90 per cent Of the herring

caught by Dutch fishermen have been

The British government found II
necessary to place a number of Dutch

Baltimore, Nd. July 24.-The green
snout of the Deutschland was still
nuzzIing the pier at the foot OF Andre
Street tonight. but succession Of
events during the day brought a thrill
of expectancy to the patient watchers
along the odorous water front Of
Locust Point.
Among other things the boat was
partially submerged today. 1t was
probably for the purpose of testing
the machinery. but it gives rise to the
belief that dawn may find the

A thick coating OF oil covered the
surrounding water after the Deutsch-
land started her machinery. The boat
did not GO clear under. however. The
greensides were never out of sight Of
the watchers, although they noted a
perceptibie quivering.
Timmins Very Busy.
Late this afternoon the tug Thomas
F. Timmtns, which mothered the
Deutschland into port two weeks ago
and which has been keeping watch
and ward over her ever since, began
doing a mighty LOT OF fussing around
the little U-boat. With thick columns
OF black smoke squirting from its fun
mel and with much grunting and
coughing the Timmins backed and
filed in and out OF the nest Of the
Deutschland 1t seemed TO be clear
ing an opening for the exit of the
submarine 1t seized hold of the ven
cradle lighter, the George May. which
has lain alongside the Deutschland for
some days and hauled it, creaking and
groaning into the clear. Some OF the
old barges that have been hiding the
Deutschland were yanked around by
the Timmins as If their company had
become oppressive to the little green
merchantmen, bat after a period OF
considerable activity the tug resumed

Hubbard briefly set the scene for The Secret of Suzanne, after a short but vivid appreciation of the Genius of Wolf FerTari. The action of the opera was described the dialogue was given against the musical background and the arias and udcts were inntoned dramatically as the pianist played the accompany ing music of the score. The result was splendid, much beyond what might be expected of such simple means. for MT. Hubbard is highly in- telligont he is an excellent actor, and he has taken the trouble to perfect himself in his work to a point that while it never lacks spontanity. vet always has the finish of long prac- tice. Mir. Hubbard was most admir- ally assisted by Mir. Gotthelf who played delicately and discreetly and with unmistakable familiarity not only with his scores. but with the particular requirements of this class of work. It is not surprising that the Hubbard -Gotthelf operalogues have received such warm praise every where for they are both entertaining and instructive in plan and carried out with consummate finish and au- thoriiv."
 Aside from the interesting and ar tistie work of Mr. Hubbard local musicians and music lovers are glad of an opportunity to extend greet ings to Mir. Gotthelf. During his two years residence here he made many friends who know him as a pianist of high attainments. Since leaving Phoe- nix he has won fame by bis art in the musical centers of the east
 The local program will consist of a group of piano solos by Mir. Gotthelf and two operalogues. "The Love of Three Kings" bv Montemezzi and The Secret of Suzanne" by Wolf Ferrari. both Of which have recently been sung by the Grand Opera Com panv of New York.
