BALTIMORE, Md, July 12-Se.
euro IN the belief that the Washing
ton government will not rule against
his craft, Captain Koenig today has
tened work OF unloading the million
dollar dyestuffs cargo from the
mammoth German super submarine
Deutschland. D
He was anxious to have done with
this task and to commence taking on
the most precious cargo-nickel and
rubber-for the retnrn trip to Ger
many.
r The really vital test for the Deut-
schland is still ahead. This will
come when she shunts her vast green
body beneath the waves and shoots
out for home while watchful allied
ships of the Virginia Capes endeavor
to destroy or capture her. She will
not have the advantage OF the Sc
crecy which marked her departure
from Germany. As matters now
stand the Deutschland's holds will be
empty some time tomorrow, filling
her with ndche and rubber will take
two or three days. making her ready
for departure Sunday or Monday.
She plans brief stay ct Norfolk.
From tiferU she win probably sub
merge at night. remain down deep
and endeavor to run the patrol with
out poking her periscopic eyes above
the surface until far out at sea.
Tho tug Timmons, secret "go-be-
tween" for the Deutschland and her
local agents, is at present in the har-
Dor here, said an announcement from
tho Eastern Forwarding company to-
day, In answer to printed reports that
she had gone on another secret mis-
sion. The Timmons probably will tow
the Deutschland down the river to
Norfolk where she picks up part of
her cargo and then may await ar
rival Of tho Deutchland's sister ship
Bremen.
Just when the Bremen will dock
has not been disclosed, but water
front men are inclined to think she,
too, Is coming here.
Intimations are that tho Bremen
and Deutschland are the fret of line
Of eight or more cargo submarines.
German Ambassador Won Dernstortf
will come here tomorrow to inspect
the giant submarine Deutschland and
congratulate her captain and crew, it
was officially announced today. His
visit is said to be unofficial. however,.
Bremen Has Started Over.
BALTIMORE. Md, July 1.-THE
Bremen, sister ship of the German
supersubmarine Deutschland, is now

how disguised, from Juan 10 Johan.

ied. The Johns have a magnificent
family tree. 1t is instructive to trace

named John, and also a John the

and one antipOpe by the name of
John. Three kings of Aragon and

numbers of Portugal. France and
England have borne the name of
John. There was John Sobieski. the
greatest Of the Poles" There was
John, surnamed Lakeland, who was
forced to sign the Magma Charta.
There was John the Good. Running
down the famous list we find also
John the Fortunate, John the Per-
feet, John the Fearless, John the
Constant. Was there ever an ignoble
John?
Then there was Jack OF the Bean

was not little, but who, on the con-

was one of the most impudent fol-

REMOVED HEART OF CHOPIN
Before Evacuation Of Warsaw Rus
SLAMS Saw That FRIED Relic or
Musician Was in Safety.

Before evaruating Warsaw thu
Russians removed from the Churcl
of the Holy Cross the heart of tht
great musician, Chopin.
Chopin left Poland to seek his for.
tune in more favored lands in 1890
and was kept i'll exile by circum.
stances till his death in Paris.
His body rests in Pere-La Chaise
cemetery, sprinkled with Polish
earth. His heart was sent back to
Warsaw to speak of his love for tor
tured Poland and to inspire his coun-
trymen to hope and resolution" saws
the Glasgow Herald.
His letters to his parents were de-
stroyed by the soldiers of General
Berg in 1863 in the sacking of the
house in which they were stored.
Paris swarmed with Polish refugees
and Chopin found many friends
among them. List tells us he was
a pure, generous, good and compass
sionate man, filled with a single SEN
timent,. the love Of country.
"But the man Chopin was very
reserved, and the not inconsiderable
Chopin literature does not bring us
into anything like close touch with
HIM. Only as a musician could he
unburden his heart freely to all the
world. In knowing his music We
know Poland,' says the article quot
