And Still Deutschland
Has Not Sailed AWAY

New London, Conn. Nov. To-
Eighty negro stevedores from Balti-
more, who loaded the cargo Of the
German submarine Deutschland last
week, have been ordered to return
here on January 5, it was learned to-
night. While officials of the Eastern
Forwarding company declined to
offer any explanation OF the order,
the belief prevails that another Ger
man submarine may be expected
about that time or that the Deutsch-
land may make another trip.
Although the Deutschland's cargo
was loaded several days ago and it
has provisions for sixty days on
board, the time of its departure still
was uncertain at late hour, Its
crew was given shore leave tonight.
