pecially after us.
 During the time we spent in the waters of Heligoland we continued our practice and shifted the ballast and cargo to trim her properly for the long voyage.
 Coming through the North Sea we patrol boats and submerged five times. I do not think the enemy yes sells saw us. You know in a submar- inc we can see ships a long while be- fore they can see us. In the English Channel we submerged six times in all and in the Atlantic four times. the last occasion being when we sighted United Fruit Company's steamer the day before our arrival at the Capes. We passed her about 30 miles out. do not believe the ship, which was flying an American flag, knew we were in her neighborhood.
 "When we left Bremen we had 1S0 tons of fuel oil aboard and there are now 95 tons left in the tanks. We had 20 tons of water when we started and still have ten left.
 Can Go Anywhere
 "Our voyage proves that a submar- inc of the Deutschland type can go anywhere in the world. She has a cruising radius of 19,0eO miles"
 Captain Koenig was asked to ex- plain what devices the Deutschland had for finding her way under water and avoiding dangers.
 We have two" he said. "One is the microphone, the other sounding apparatus With the microphone you can head submarine bell buoys six miles away and the propellors of ships still farther. By the tone of the. noise made by the screw of vessel you can tell her type A destroyer's CT
 "The sounding apparatus can be worked while we are running sub merged and is let down through the bottom of the boat through a tube equipped with valves. In this submar inc we can do everything under the surface that we can do on it. We can drop anchor while submerged, cruise below the surface for days if neces- sary or lie still on the bottom until our food and water gives out. And you can believe me that we can carry large quantity of both"
 Captain Koenig was asked how he and his men employed their time while making the voyage.
 Well" he said, i've had phono- graphs. They were a source of much enthusiasm. We had about hundred records. There were some American rag-time songs. Selections from Peer Gynt is what we played to pass away the time at the bottom of the English Channel No. we didn't have a record of Tipperary."
 The captain seemed to enjoy the reference to the English marching song.
 "Of course" he continued, "all the men smoked while they were on deck. It is forbidden to smoke below decks in a submarine There is the danger of fire and then. you know. there are all kinds of tobacco. good and bad. We read lot, too. I have aboard a library of 40 volumes. There is Shakespeare. Who wouldn't have Shakespeare in the library I'll bet Shakespeare is more widely read in Germany than in England, then I read some of Bret Harte, w. w. Jacobs sea tales. Mark Twain's Tnnocents A broad and Charles Dickens Oh, yes. I have a very fine English libra ". No, havn't got Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea It requires too much imagi- nation to read that.
 ''I am the oldest man on the boat. I am 49 and the youngest member of the crew is 21. Nearly all of us have wives and children behind in Germa- ny. I am native of SaxOny, but my home has been in Bremen since 1SS3"
 Captain Koenig was the recipient of hundreds of congratulatory telegrams today from all sections of the country. Many of them came from German SO- cieties who were anxious to have the commander and his officers as guests at dinners and other functions. The local German colony is already mak
