Baltimore. July i0-Captain Paul
Koenig gave out a typewriter state
ment to-day on the Deutschland's voy-
age which adds an enlightening chap
ter to this enterprising submarine
venture in commerce.
Rumor had it that the statement was
prepared in Germany before the
Deutschland sailed. II so, it indicates
clearly and forcibly how confident Ger
man genius was of the success OF the
feat. 1t tells something of conditions
in Germany and of the hope that Ger

started.

"The idea of the building Of this
submarine emanated from Mr.. Alfrcd
Lohmann. the president of the Bremen
Chamber of Commerce. He brought
his idea in the fall Of last year conn
dentially before a small circle OF
friends, and the idea was taken up al
once. A company was formed under
the name Of 'Deutsche Ocean Rhederei

Kcil was intrusted with the building
of the submarines.
The board of directors is composed
Of Alfred Lohmann, president OF the
board; Philip Heineken, general man

zeinrat P. NJ. Herman, manager oil

NO GUNS FOUND
ON DEUTSCHLAND
Absence of Torpedo Tubes
Also Marks Her as
Trader, Says u. S.

Washington, July 10.-Careful in
vestigation OF the status Of the sub
marine liner Deutschland has virtually
convinced government officials that she
must be considered an ordinary mer-
chantman and permitted to depart
freely for her home port when she
desires.
Treasury officials who boarded the
submarine at Baltimore this morning
reported nothing Of a warlike charac-
ter. Not only was the ship unarmed
and unprovided with torpedo tubes, but
every officer and man of the crew was
a bonafde merchant seaman. The only
implements Of war aboard were a few
revolvers with ammunition.
Allies Fail to Object.
The French and British embassies
gave the State Department the first
official notice Of the arrival Of the
submarine. They expressed the hope
that the United States would inquire
carefully into her status before per-
hitting clearance for a return voyage
but offered no suggestion Of grounds
for internng the vessel.
DESPITE the report Of the customs
officers, the State Department decided
to take no chances of armament on the
Deutschland and asked the navy TO de-
tail an officer TO accompany the Treas
ury representatives, on a relnspecton
Of the ship. Secretary Daniels selected
Capt. Charles f. Hughes, OF the gen
eral board. and on his report the final
decision of the State Department Will
rest.
Expect No German Protest.
Early rumors that objection might
be raised by Captain Koenig OF the
Deutschland or by German Embassy
officials TO a closer inspection Of the
submarine on the ground that she is OF
a secret type of construction were not
credited by officials, who expect 20
serious opposition in their investlga-
tion. Such opposition would probably
result in the recall of Captain Hughes,
and i, would then be incumbent on the
German government to offer convincing
evidence of the submarines peaceful
character.
The La Toilette Seamen's act, II IL
could be enforced, might hamper the
clearance of the ship on the ground
that II is not provided with lifeboats
and davits; but officials said this clause
of the law had never been enforced
against foreign vessels as II was found
10 conflict with commercial treaties.
This exhausted the last hope Of those
who have been trying to devise way
to thwart Germany's new means OF
communication with the outside world,
