AGENT FOR U-LINER
REACHES BORDER
ON WAY TOMEXICO

NEW YORK. July 24.-Capt. Fried
rich Hinsch, who directed the bust
ness arrangements in America for the
voyages OF the German carzo-cariying
submarine Deutschland, did not es-
cape from the United, States on a
small sailing ship and finally land in
Germany. as the Baltimore story,
printed in the newspapers OF July IS,
said he did, according to the New
York Times. Instead OF making his
way back to Germany, Hinsch was in
New York until less than a month
ago, when he left for Baltimore. He
remained in Baltimore probably a
week or ten days, remaining in Sc
clusion, his presence being known
only to a few intimate friends, most
of them. like himself. subjects OF the
German Kaiser.
About ten days ago Einsch, dis
guised as a laboring man. arrived in
Ell Paso, Tex. from which city he
wrote a letter to a friend in this
city, in the course OF which he said
that he soon would be safe from
those - Yankees" or words to
that effect.
Persons who knew OF Hinsch's
whereabouts while he was in New
York and knew that he was in daily
communication with other German
agents, on several occasions notified
the Federal authorities where Hinsch
was to be found and informed them
that the German was in communities
ton with other enemy aliens, their
go-between being a woman friend OF
Captain Hinsch. 1t was to this WON
an that he wrote the news OF his safe
arrival in FL Paso and his impending
flight across the Rio Grande into Mex
leo.
Among the German subjects and
sympathiZers who were in communi-
cation with Hinsch while he was in
New York Is said to have been a prom
inent German steamship official. This
man was among the first to be notified
by Hinsch's woman friend OF the cap
tain's safe arrival at the border.
A few days after 1t was known
that Hinsch was safe at or ner FL
Paso the story from Baltimore to
the effect that he had sailed from
South Amboy In a small schooner a
few days after the President made
his memorable speech before Con-
gress calling for a war declaration
against the German government was
sent out.
Persons familiar with the real
facts in the case in talking OF that
story last night expressed the opinion
that the story might have been In
spired by German agents to cover
Hinsch's tracks and to make It an
easy matter for him to elude the
border guards and escape into
Mexico.

France to Build Great Canal

The destruction OF the great Ger
man ports Of the North sea as the
gateway OF trade to central Europe
is included in the plan to count Ger
many out as a dominating power in
the worlds trade at the end OF the
war.
This plan is well along in concep-
tIon, all the entente nations, includ-
ing the United States, laying the
ground work for post-belIum trade
relations which will minimize Ger
many's influence.
Advices have just been received
from A. NJ Thacksra, American con-
sui general at Paris, that the French
are maturing plans looking to the
opening Of a new trade route, cal
culated to checkmAte the great North
sea ports OF Germany. such as Ham

PERMANENT CAMP OF THE
AMERICAN EXPEDITIoSARY ARMY
IN FRANCE, July 24.-Payday hav-
ing come and gone, and the money
market Tightening fast. PershinE's
Sammies had to stop spending today.
As It was the French town near
the camp has been stripped already
OF watches, Jewelry, trinkets, station
cry, and other knlck lCnacks.
French travelling bazaars, with their
dazzling scores OF trinKets. excited
plenty of curiosity. but not a great
number OF spenders appeared among
the Sammies.
The days drill program now is a
long and systematic pull at the
French bayonet, hand grenade, and
trench mortar methods.
Stan officers are securing the coun-
try for new billets for succeeding
contingents OF General Pershing's
army. They have penetrated to many
villages, where the sight Of an Ameri-
can uniform was a novelty, and con-
sequently they have been feted and
welcomed enthusiastically.
Their language is giving officers
and men difficulty. Interpreters are
scarce. or those already here, one
staff officer remarked today.
There are three kinds-those who
don't speak French; those who don't
speak English. and those who don't
speak either language"
Headquarters is considering adop-
.tion Of the French method OF sorting
out the les efficient fighting men
and utilizing them as Orderlies and
kitchen assistants, putting the men
best equipped for fighting into the
training camps.

neers have made a preliminary ex-
animation of the project-and hold
that It Is feasible from an engineer
ing view.
The new canal would connect up
the Rhone-Rhine canal, the Loire
canal, and the Canal du Centre, sup
plying missing links so as to make
a new, continuous waterway from
the French coast to the heart of Ger
many.

Looks to America
The French government Is looking
toward the prosecution or this project
with an eye especially to the Ameri-
can trade. 1t is realized that the d.
vergence OF the enormous American
exports to central Europe from the
North sea German ports would bring
the revenue which formerly went to
German business men to the pockets
OF the French forwarders.
The Maison d'Amerique, an Ameri-
can business foundation which Is to
DE established in France to advance
American interests there. will take an
active interest in the new propaganda,
and II Is considered likely that work
may be begun before the end Of the
war.

WILL ANSWER
TOMORROWTO
NATION'SCALL

Within twenty-four hours the Dis
trict national guard will be taking
the first step on its way to France.
Every member of the guard not
now in the Federal service has been
ordered to report to the respective
armories not later than 8 o'clock to-
morrow morning. After an inspec-
ton, the guardsmen will march to
their new camp in Patterson's tract,
Sixth street and Florida avenue
northeast.
except the coast artillery not already
in camp will be stationed at Camp
Ordway, a. the Patterson camp will
be known. An example OF several
years standing will be followed in
naming the camp after the first gen
eral who commanded the local guard.
To BE Fully Uniformed.
It Is assured that every member
who goes into camp will be fully uni
formed: Not all will be fully
equipped. however. Among these I'M
fortunates will be the District cavalry.
Each troop will have but thirty-two
horses. This is about one-half enough
to provide mounts for all the men.
First Lieut. John Thompson, of c
troop, today spiked the rumor that
the men would go into camp without
mounts.
I'VE have not only been ordered to
proceed to camp with what animals
we have, but also we expect to get
the full number at Anniston," he said.
Dispatches describing a cavalry
charge on the other side raised the
hopes OF the men that they would be
permitted to go across mounted. AT
any rate" Lieutenant Thompson sum-

mounts until orders to sail come

to Senator Simmons and other lead
ers that Secretary Of the Treasury

mates for expenditures, amounting
to about $4,000, 000, 900.
These estimates for expenditures
are additional to the enormous ones
already authorized by Congress.

While details concerning them are
not yet disclosed. It Is understood
that they are mainly for military pur-
poses
They indicate clearly that the
United States. now that It Is in the

struggle to the utmost Of its capacity.
Secretary McAdoo reached Senator
Simmons office shortly after
o'clock. Mr.. Simmons summoned .

and Democrats. to hear the plans that
Mr.. McAdoo was to unfold. Among

Senate leaders today are unable to

budget.
New Taxes . CertaInty.
Senators familiar with the situation
declare that the country might just
as well prepare itself for new and
unusual methods OF taxation; that
the United States will have to bear
these just as England and other eoun-
tries in the war have been compelled
to: that stamp taxes consumption
