Baltimore, Aug. 2.-The German
merchant submarine Deutschland
sailed yesterday on her return voyage
to Germany, leaving her pier at Lo-
Gust Point at $40 p. m.
She carried a cargo of crude rubber
and nickel and it is understood con-
signment of gold.
The Deutschland's tender, the tug
Thomas F. Timmons, drew the sub
marine out to the main channel.
There the tow line was cast off and
the submersible proceeded under her
own power The coast guard cutter
Wissachkon followed closed behind
and little farther back was the
Timmins. In this order the little
squadron proceeded down the river
and soon disappeared from view
around Wagner's Point.
Few Boats Follow.
A few sightseeing motor boats
followed, but they were kept at safe
distance by the city police boat Ian
nan.
AS the Deutschland left the wharf,
flags were run up on the interned
North German Lloyd steamer Neckar
and her crew lined the rail, cheering
and shouting their farewells to their
| countrymen in the Deutschland.
Capt. Koenig and his crew of 27
men were put to sea with the knowl-
edge that man hurried to agents OF
the entente allies that the Deutsch-
land had started.
Praises Americans.
They knew how long he had watch
ed at the end of a nearby pier day
and night, but the little captain went
out of Baltimore harbor smiling and
waving his hat. His last words were
of praise for America and his treat
ment hereby Baltimore authorities.
Capt. Koenig knows that eight
warships of the entente allies are
waiting for him at the edge of the
three-mile limit spread out in radi'
us of five miles.
"Were the water at that point 15C
feet deep it would be easier to es
cape,' he said. 1--WE could pass un'
derneath the warships, but the wate1
there is not $50 feet deep. We shall
therefore have to pass between thu
warships."
There was determined look in tht
captains face as he expressed conf
dence that he would get through.

the war Of 1870, who was killed at
Niededbronn.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 2.-The
Deutschland passed Tangier
Island, so miles up from Cape
Charles, at eight o'clock this
morning. It is believed here
that she will not come into this
port until night. No Virginia
pilot has as yet been asked for.
This strengthened the belief
that she intends to lie in the bay
during the day. Thick morning
weather made it possible, how
ever, that she may shoot through
the capes without touching here.

"PECk'S BAD BOY"

While some will remember former Peck for his leadership in the revolt against the plan to make public school attendance compulsory, it is safe to say that the aiority of the people in these United States and other parts of the world will mourn his loss be- cause of those fantastic tales labeled "Peck's Bad Boy. Also MT. Peck might have been famous in another field, solely apart from the political or the literary, namely, the hunting field, for he had won place as expert in the shooting of wild fowl The vet eran author and newspaper publisher who died unexpectedly in Wisconsin yesterday will be mourned the world over as one who gave to the human shadows and turn life into some thing worth while, even if for 8 fleet ing moment only. The capers that Peck's bad boy cut were nothing more iIOl ltSS lilcti ItlS pi dllhS tllctL dIIy LII - dinary boy would conceive and execute under proper conditions. AS mat ter of fact the entire fabric for these stories was made from actual hap nenings. The former Governors son furnished the basis for the many stories which were then elaborated by the father. The son has now grown to dignified manhood and holds a lu- industrial concerns of the nation, or did, when last heard from. No one would ever know that this man was pecks bad boy celebrated in story and stagedom. His distinguished
 fathers memory will long live.

Professor Phelps and Peace.
(Bridgeport Farmer.)

Professor Phelps, whose views on literature have the merit of common sense is the subject of more or less criticism because he recently suggest ed that peace is the ideal condition. Professor Phelps views on this sub- ject are as important as the views of a talented member of the minority ought to be. How important is a, man who advocates something that cannot happen until the living are dead? Not very important in the minds of most
 of the living one ventures to say. A man who proposes the present end of the war, is as a man who proposes to create bountiful supply of food next year The average man wants loaf of bread now, even if by a sacrifice he could get three loaves some other time.
 Every thoughtful man knows that the end of war will come. Peace is
 like many other good things. It is in the world; 1t is quite at the com- mand of men, when they know enough to take it.
 Nor is there anything strange, orig inal or out of the order of nature and use in the assertion.
 Fire, the wheel, the bow and ar row, the rife, the 40-centimeter gun
 were always in the world. No force has been applied to the use of these phenomena that was not in existence since the world was inhabited. Men did not always know how to utilize the things that were there. Electricity was as early as lightning and thunder cloud. But the dynamo, the trolley. the wireless and the tele- l,I14 Ia IicC0Norp6 planetary tree always bore the fault. Eve didn't know enough to pluck it, nor Adam, to partake of it, until quite recently.
 The men who saw that these things could be and the men who helped them to be, were bigger and better men than the average of their kind. But the fact was not known until aft erward.
 The accusation that properly lies against the prophets of peace is sim pie, but very deadly. Their fault lies in this they think too well of their fellowmen, give them credit for more intelligence than they have actually obtained.
 This is and always has been a heinous offense. Until very recently it was an offense that led directly to the cross. Property In knowledge is the same as any other kind of prop erty. The posessors have pride in what they know. To attack what they
 know, as not being really knowledge, is an assault upon a vested interest It diminishes a man in his self-confi- dence and in his standing before his fellow men.
 When an attack upon proprietary knowledge is directed against profess

 Thus those who have declared new religions have almost invariably been victim to the energy of those who be- Heved in old religions. It was the old priesthood that was responsible for the saints and martyrs of the Christian faith Marcus Aurelius was especially severe toward the Chris tians because he was such a very good pagan, and thoroughly commit ted to the idea that vested knowl- edge of deity must not be disturbed.
 One who speaks of peace, incurs the especial opposition of ammunition makers and professional soldiers. He also runs counter to the experience of mankind.
 But everybody runs counter to the experience of mankind. Telephones and telegraphs, prohibition, and votes for women, flying machines and sub- marines, sewers and cleanliness were foreign to the experiences of mankind until somebody found them out and got some others to understand that men progress by having new cxperi- ences.

cause, for they received these dlsflg- urations at the expense of their duties, walking around the block, and being exposed to wind and weather, lording over the situation like Triton among the minnows.
 The policeman, looked upon by most people as necessary evil, has, in many Instances been known to prove himself a very convenient vir. tue. There are numerous instances of where the policeman on the beat has generously consigned himself to look after the babies in the neigh borhood playing on the front porches while the mothers attended to their occupations as housewives. Some times the policemen have been called in to perform even more serviceable occupations while at the same time they kept a sharp lookout on the morality of the neighborhood. For guarding morality is the distinguish ing duty of an officer. Without this trust he becomes nothing more nor less than the common or garden va riety of policeman. What must be the thoughts of all those gallant mem bers of the force who have sacrificed themselves for the conveniences of their neighbors and who must feel abashed at the dire insinuations cast upon their integrity by the New Jer- sey newspaper that gloatingly holds before the public gaze the episode of a policeman taking up the collection Tn a church? They must feel some the New Jersey paper questions the good faith of any policeman and thereby throws suspicion on the en- tire force. It is wrong. Rather his virtues take care of themselves. The policeman is In a position where he can render great and good services to the community, and. if he is a real honest policeman he does these ser vices from the goodness of his heart How many quarrels have the police of this city fixed up'' without even taking the participants away from their homes or exposing them to the relentless gaze of the street strag- glers? The kindly advice admin istered by the blue-coated guardians of law and order is proverbial. The good policeman does not follow to the letter his book of instructions. Rather does he go outside his written in- structions and administer to the weak as a father would to an offend ing child. When a uniformed police man jumped in the breach of a dis satisfied congregation and took up the collection he but personified the one glowing trait of his craft. Brown not upon such an act. The money was as safe in the officers hands as it was with the regular collector. Tn fact, collecting is the forte par ex- cellence of the policeman, whether it be from church, state, city, or peanut stand. The policeman knows just where and when and from whom to collect.
