Baltimore, July2G.-The German
submarine liner Deutschland today
was cleared by her commander, Capt.
Paul Koenig, for Bremen or any other
port nj Germany" Any hour now the
vessel has authority to start down
Chesapeake bay, to make her dash for
the open sea through the Virginia
capes and the guards of allied war
ships off the three-mile limit.
Secrecy surrounds the plans of Capt
Koenig. After securing his clearance
papers at the custom house he said in
reply to questions asked for the bene-
fit of the Maryland Pilots association
that the exact time OF his departure
was indefinite. Tonight he had made
no arrangements for pilot but he can
secure one almost Immediately at any
time he desire.
After the usual clearance formali-
ties the commander of the submarine
requested that his manifest which he
had filed be withheld from publication
for reasonable time"
The clear channel before the Deut.
schland was blocked today when the
British freighter Highbury dropped an
chor just outside the slip where the
German undersea boat lies ready to
start on her transatlantic trip. The
British ireighter, under the British
flag, with her name plate painted over
hurried up the Pataposco and swung
with the current just opposite the
Deutschland's dock. The freighter
blocked the channel in such way that
the Deutschland, in order to get out OF
her slip would be forced to open up the
screen of barges that surrounds hel
and go round the freighter in tow Of
the tug Timmins, lying alongside. Tn,
process would take half an hour o.
time
The arrival of the freighter and the
position she took in the stream
| aroused storm of excitement amons
the German officers and agents IL
charge of the Deutschland.

BOY KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Car Run Down by Train at Essex
Junction.

Burlington, July 26.-George ].
Siegriest, II, of Essex Junction, died
at the Fanny Allen hospital this after
noon from injuries received when an
automobile laundry delivery truck In
which he was riding with Fred Rush
ford of this city, was run into byna
burlington and Lamoille train at the
West Street crossing In Essex juno
ton.
Rushfords collarbone and left leg
are broken and he was badly bruised,
but he will recover, ra
The auto truck was smashed to
pieces. The railroad bed was scraped
for distance OF 500 feet with tho
remains of the car, which clung to
the engine pilot and 15 baskets of
laundry were scattered over the same
distance.
Siegriest was horribly manglod and
received internal injuries. He lived
but a little over two hours after the
accident Why the accident occurred
is not known, but II is thought that
Rushford, who was driving the car,
did not hear the whistle oft he ap.
proaching train. The engineer first
saw the automobile almost at the
same time the collision occurred.

WILSON REPRoVEs MOTHER
Who Complained Because Son Was
Soldering on the Border.

Washington, July 26.-In reply to
a complaint from Mrs. Henry Smith of
Winamac, Ind. who has son in the
National Guard, President Wilson
wrote today that the Guard being kept
on the Mexican border to protect the
country, not for drill and that the SER
ice the men were performing was an
honor to them and necessity to the
United States.
The Presidents letter was made
public because many communications
similar to that of Mrs. Smith are being
received, and ito answer criticisms
that the men OF the National Guard
are not being properly cared for. The
letter follows.
Your letter of July 20 distressed
me a good deal because It shows that
you have not been correctly informed
as to the purpose OF having the Ma
tional Guard at the border. 1t is not
for the purpose of drill, but for the
purpose of protecting the country. The
service the men are performing there
is an honor to them and necessity to
the United. cannot believe that the
men in the National Guard would wish
to be excused from 1t or would lose
heart because of the discomforts and
inconvenience oft he service.
"The war department has the
camps on the border under the most
careful inspection and is using every
means to make them sanitary and
safe against disease. The health
record of the men on the border, both
the regulars and the National Guards
men, is exceptionally good.
81 would not have you think that
do not sympathize with your dis
tress in the absence OF your son. but
beg that you will cake these larger
matters into consideration"

Denial BY Austria of Russian Claims
az to Prisoners.
An official statement issued by the
Austro-Hungarian general Staff says
that only 100000 soldiers were taken
prisoner by the Russians during their
present offensive. according to a Buda-
pest dispatch to the Morning Post.
The statement brands as untrue the
claim of the Russians that they took
266,000 prisoners and declares that on
the 30O-kilometer front where the ac-
tual fighting occurred the number of
Austrians and Hungarians engaged
was less than this number.

London, July 26.-The British are
able to congratulate themselves on an
other good days record with the cap
ture of the important position OF Po-
zieres, on the Western front.
The opinion of the military critics in
London is that no positions so strong
as the British are now successfully at
tacking will be found between Pozieres
and Bapaume; otherwise, they argue
the Germans would not have risked
bringing troops and guns from the Yer
~,un sector to defend Pozieres, and 1t is
inferred from indications in the official
dispatches that the British are already
beginning to establish themselves on
both sides of the road from Pozieres to
Bapaumc.
