GERMANS DOUBT NEWS 0F ARRIVAL
 OF DEUTSCHLAND
No Official Confirmation Yet in Berlin-C Captain Koenig Sends Mail
 Ashore

Berlin, November 2.-(3:30 a. m Via London.)-The German Ocean Navigation company of Bremen has, up to now. been unable to confirm the news of the arrival of the merchant submarine Deutschland at New London.
 While the newspapers ali display prom inently the British news agency mes- sages announcing the arrival, they are inclined to question their authenticity Their readers are asked to remember the source from which the news originates and not to indulge in jubilation until a direct message from Captain Koenig re- lieves them of all doubt
 The skeptical attitude of the press is easily explained when it is recalled that an erroneous story of the arrival of the Bremen at an American port sometime ago caused extensive space in the col umns of the press to be devoted to a laudatory comment and eliminated at Bremen in a celebration.

|U-53 REPORTS HARD VOYAGE ON RETURN
 ACROSS ATLANTIC
Captain States Vessel Had to Be Sub merged to Save It From Fierce
 Storm Encountered

Berlin, November 2.-By wire less to the Associated Press, via SayviIIe.)-Captain Hans Rose of the German submarine U-53, whose safe return to a German port after its visit to Newport and opera tiOns off the American coast, was announced yesterday, reports that he had mn exceedingly stormy re- turn passage. The seas were so high that the crew of the sub marine were at no time able to get air on the deck or to take the air except in little groups on the con- ming tower. Even this was impOs- sible during one period off the Newfoundland banks and again to the north of England when the submarine submerged entirely to escape the unbearabIe buffetting by the tempest. The officers and crew nevertheless returned in splendid condition, their health having been unaffected by the vOy- age, which, including the brief stay on the American side, lasted exactly 411s days, of which IT we're consumed by the westward voyage.

Ford Co. Stockholders
 to Fight Plan of Chief

Detroit. November 2.-John F. Dodge, and Horace Dodge. automobile manufac- turers and stockholders in the Ford Mo- tor company, obtained a temporary in junction in circuit court here this aft erroon restraining Henry Ford from using the assets of the Ford Motor com- pany to exteEd the business as planned, instead of distributing profits in divi- dends.
 In their application to the court. the Dodge brothers allege that increased la bor costs and unstable business condi- tions coming at the end of the war make reckless expenditures of the company s assets unwise.
 The Ford Motor companys annual statement issued recently showed profits of several million dollars which, it was announced. were to be put back into the business.
