BALTIMORE. Aug. 2. - The
Deutschland sailed late yesterday
afternoon.
Slipping along the surface OF the
river like slim green water snake,
her own power kicking her forward,
the merchant submarine dropped
down the Patapsco river shortly be-
fore o'clock.
Pro.German or pro-ally, no man
who saw her go could help breath.

prayer OF God speed
She seemed so tiny. and so fragile,
as compared to the big hulks around
her. and yet so bold and defiant.
Capt. Koenig, weather-beaten little
mariner. stood in the coming tower
as the U-boat crawled to sea.
Beside him stood the Baltimore
pilot, who was showing the way out.
The men OF the crew were scat
tered along the deck. They waved
their hands and their caps, wnen
people on passing vessels waved at
them. Everybody did that. Wits
ties footed and voices whooped as
the green boat fioated down the
river.

of that fact. the United States of America has
risen to greatness which has changed the face

of years il has changed from nation OF peO-

I'm his praise OF the Declaration. He said among

be hung up in the nursery OF every king and
