Washington, July 13.-Reports 'of
customs and navy officers on the char
acter of the German submarine were
the subject of a Ions conference at the
state department today between Act
ing Secretary Polk and members OF
the government neutrality board called
to give informal advice. The depart
ment's final decision on tho status Of
the submarine probably will be given
out at this afternoons cabinet meet
ing.
Captain Hughes, of the navy, and
Collector Ryan and Surveyor Steele, OF
the Baltimore customs house, all Of
whom examined the vessel have re-
ported that she is an unarmed freight
er.
Government officials generally are
satisfied that no legitimate questions
can be raised against granting all the
privileges of peaceful merchant craft
to the boat.
Other Questions Arise.
Altho the questions Of the British
and French embassies that the Ger
man submarine is potentially war
ship has had little weight at the state
department in view Of the departments
information that the boat is purely a
merchant ship, officials today saw that
other bothersome questions might arise
in connection with the under sea boats
visit.
Already, it was said. consideration is
being given to suggestion that the
government withhold news Of the
boats sailing to prevent information
from reaching the allies The depart
ment is concerned, too, as to the boats
Treatment If discovered by enemies lin
the Atlantic. Under a ruling that the
boat is a merchant ship the state de-
partment could not countenance its
sinking in violation of international
law.

Boats Dimensions overe.timated

Baltimore. Md, July 13.-Unloading
OF the cargo Of the German subma-
rine Deutschland was completed early
today and the shipwrights revealed
that the estimate of her size had been
exaggerated Instead of being more
than 300 feet long and 30 feet wide her
length Is not more than $50 feet and
her width Is less than 25 feet. Her
over all draught figured submerged
shows that she needs at least thirty
two feet for complete submersion.
Thru all the feverish activities Of
the last hours Of the unloading. the
tug Thomas F Tlmmons played the
strong beams Of powerful searchlicht
all about. sweeping the waters Of tre
shore lines. and the Deutsc11land's
deck. A smaller powered light. which
had been set on the motor boat Efco,
reached corners that were beyond the
Timmins light.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, is expected to come to
Baltimore today to inspect the Deutsch
land. Mayor James Fl. Preston will
take luncheon with the amba ssa dor
and Carl A. Luderitz the German
consul here and afterwards he will
get his first view Of the interior Of the
submarine. This evening; the mayor
will entertain at dinner at his home
Count Won Bernstorff. Mr.. Luderitz,
Capt Paul Koenig. Of the Deutschland,
and other DISTINGUISHED guests.
The crew Of the submarine has de-
cided to turn over to the Red Cross
fund the $4,000 gift for valor from

Mystery Of a
Jade Ring
Chinese Jewel Leads to a
Romance In America
By CLARISSA MACKIE

The red auction flag fiuttered ovel
the door of the japanese shop. Always
fascinated by the charm of oriental
things. Leslie Marston thrust aside the
knowledge that her father was waiting
TO lunch with her downtown and step
ped inside the shop.
The auctioneer was holding q small
ivory box containing unique ring OF
twisted gold dragons set with an oh
long tablet of carved jade
And l am offered only S." he re
preached the crowd.
please let me examine the ring" re-
quested Leslie. She felt a great desire
to possess the ornament Her month S
allowance was in her handbag. She
recognized the ring as beautiful ex.
ample Of Chinese jewel craft.
"Ten dollars" she said, returning the
ring.
Twelve" said determined voice.
Leslie looked up and saw a broad
shouldered, dark young man leaning
against the wall. Grim and unsmiling,
it was very evident that he. too. want.
ed the jade ring.
Leslie, spoiled darling of fortune.

Eighteen" was Leslie's bid
Nineteen" said the man doggedly.
TWENTY-FIVE" Leslie felt excited by
this little adventure.
"Twenty-five-I am offered only 500
for this beautiful ring" said the auc-
tioneer contemptuously. why, it is
worth five times as much! Won't you
raise it, sir?" he appealed to the dark
young man.
The latter shook his head. His lips
were a straight line.
A new voice raised the bid to $50
Leslie saw tall, lean Chinese dressed
in black garments.
The bidding rose steadily until the
Chinaman dropped out of the contest,
and the ring was sold to Leslie for 500
AS she left the shop some one jostled
her. She glanced up and saw the vel.
low countenance of the Chinaman glar
ing down at her.

he commanded arrogantly.
Before Leslie could reply a strong
arm pushed the oriental aside.
