SPY FEAR. GRIPS.
DEUTSCHLAND men
Promoters Of Submarine Freight

BY CARL G.. GROAT.

BALTIMORE. July 2s.--Fear of spies
had grown to an ohsession with GER
tain promoters OF the German sub
sea freighter Deutschland today.
With two ADDITIONAL British tramp
vessels In the harbor for cargo. and
the Brftisher Ardgryfe making no
move to load. the Deutschland watch
ers developed an unusual nervous
ness.
Even trivial things worried them.
An expedition from their tug. the
Timmins. for instance. made a hur-
ried trip to the lonG private pier to
which press tugs are tied, after dis
covering that a private telephone
line had been installed there. Tho

knew that German influence had
been operating along the waterfront
for several days to clear away news

ing boats.
The time of the Deutschiand's de-
parture is'still an unsolved-and ap-.
parently unsolvable-mystery. All

swarm the Baltimore waterfront.
Indications with the Deutschland
promoters are that they are not UNI
duly alarmed about the fate of the
Deutschland't sister ship. the Brem-
en-. though they will be IL she does
not appear In the next few DAYS.
An extra crew was taken aboard the
tug Thomas +. Timmins yesterday.
while shortly afterward conferences
was held on the >tug by Capt Paul
koenig. commander Of the submarine.
Capt Frederick Hinsch and Capt. Zach
Cullison. Of the tugboat.
There were also frequent consultations
between Captain Hinsch and Construc-
tor Gustav Prusse. and when Captain
Hinsch left the office OF the Eastern
forwarding Company In the afternoon,
Constructor Prusse accompanied him.
The Deutschland lay at her berth be-
side the Mclean pier. apparently aban-
doned-her trimming. all adjusted and
the cargo matches batteneC-but she
seemed an IL merely held In leash ready
for the initial spring toward the Capes
and her great adventure. Only her crew
approached her.
A pilot was reported to have arrived
at the Deutschland's pier I'm the morn
ing about the time the extra men went
on the tug Timmins. but II was stated
by the officers OF the MARYLAND Pilots
Association that no rilot had been sup
piled the submarine las yet" ard that
none had been 40 far reIuisitioned.

One result of this suggestion OF broad

Der Of the Lake Keuka Fishing Club
was willing today to share his dis
covery with fellow-anglers. 1t came

hot and the fish sink torpidly to tho

them plenty of pep. causes them to

Raymond exhibited a goodly bunch

Urges Better Schools.
But. Mr.. President. that is not all that
We ought to do. by any manner Of
means. Why, we are educating our
children in part in the District Of Column

can imagine that fifty years ago, on the

Of tho District Of Columbia, the seat Of
the Government, the Capital of this
great nation, asking children to go into
those little portable schoolhouses to get

that are not portable are almost UNIT

be repaired, or we ought to have new
schoolhouses.
