Baltimore, NJ. D. July 10th.-The German
merchant submarine "Deutschland' ended
her voyage across the Atlantic at $40 this
morning when she locked at the pier of the
Eastern Forwarding Company ON the out
skirts of Baltimore. The submarine left
quarantine at $50 after the health officer
had boarded the craft and given permission
to proceed. Fifteen days out from Bremen

She is capable OF submerging in less than two
minutes. On the surface of the water the
submarine has o speed of from two to three
knots an hour more than the average mer-

March. The undersea liner is about 315
feet long aud 80 feet beam, and is propelled
by two great Diesel oil engines. She is rs
large If not larger than any Of the Ger
man naval submarines, and carries 50 tons
dead weight of cargo. Mr. Hilken, the
senior member Of Schumacher and Co., is
an American, aud his firm has been in bust

craft built to play regularly in the Transit

the surface of The North Sea to escape the
watchfal eye of the Allies blockade. Captain
Koenig iutimates that the purposes of his
loug delay at Heligoland was to deceive the
enemy who undoubtedly had heard rumours
of the submarine coming. Once outside the
blockading lines and into the Atlantic, ac-
cording to the captains story, he headed
straight across and only deviated from bis
course once when he saw what he took to be
an en- e.ny craft Most Of the time he sped
along on the surface, making about IA knots
