DANGER AWAITING DASH
is NOT MINIMIZED
If the Bremen fails to arrive; IL she
is taken or destroyed at sea, 1t is said
that Koeng will intern the Deutsch-
land at once, rather than run the risk
of losing his boat and men. The Ger
mans do not minimize the danger
awaiting the dash of the undersca boat.
They know all about the warships Of
tho allies doing sentry duty off the
capes. and they know that it is going
to be no easy task for the Deutschland
TO eludc them.
Tt was very hot to-day IN Baltimore.
One of the results ofthe heat was tho
-umor that the submarine now in the
ha -bur was not the Deutschland but
the Bremen. that the Bremen slipped
in few nights ago, took the berth
of tho Deutschland; that the crew of
tho Bremen slipped out with tho
deutschland.
The last part of the rumor was, per-
haps. formulated because they had to
give some explanation OF the Deutsch-
land crew. Then, too. Captain koe-
ig was around town, a triflc heated,
but otherwise unruffled. 1t was GER
tainly a her day in Baltimore, there
being still another rumor to the ef-
feet that the submarine in the harbor
is neither the Deutschland the

which had been carried in 4 collapsed

SECURE USUAL PROOF
OF PERFIDY OF DAME RUMOR
Some persons perspired clear through
tneir palm beaches clambering over
The rought and rugged rocks around
the berth of the Deutschland TO secure
visual proof of tho perfidy of dame
cumor.
The faithful old pile driver, which
haL served as a crowsncst for the look
outs over the submarine. has been
removed to a point whore it is no avail
but one of the few brceZeS which were
fluttering around Baltimore, came
along and lifted the burlap curtain
between the barSes which screen the
Deutschland long enough for every
body to see that the great boat still is
there.
Moreover, the draft marks up and
down the nose of the boat still regis

boat is drawing that amount OF water.
1t has registered seventeen feet ever
since the Deutschland has been in d
causing much marvelinS thcreat.
Loaded or unloadcd. it has been the
same. There is explanation. When
the Deutschland was being unloaded,
for every ton OF stuff that was taken
off. Il ton of water was taken into the
submersible. When it was being loaded.
Il ton OF water was discharged for
every ton Of cargo that was taken
aboard. This added to the general
doubt to any one who light he observ-

From high rocks on land and from
higher masts on water and with pow
erful field glasses, these men have
been studying every movement around
the Deutschland.
FAST MOTOR BOAT

Close by is u fast motor boat In
this speedy little craft they could
easily keep up with the submarine
when sho starts drifting out toward
the capes. II is believed by some
people that the Deutschland may be
in touch with the Bremen. 1t is de-
clared that, the wireless aboard the
Deutschland kept in touch with Heleo-
land from the moment 1t started for
this country. IL this wireless is so
perfected and toned that its mes
saGcs cannot be picked up by even
the most powerful stations. other than
tho German wireless. then it is fair
to assume that the Bremen is
equipped in the same manner How
ever. IL there has been any attempt
on board tho Deutschland to do any
wirelessing since its arrival here, that
fact has not been apparent to the OBJ
