ACHIEVEMENT OF GIANT GERMAN UNDERSEA MERCHANTMAN THRILLS MARITIME WORLD
P
If
U. S. INVENTOR'S
IDEAS BASIS OF
U-BOATTMUMPH
Adoption and Development
Responsible, Local Naval
Constructor Says
; PERFECTED ENGINE VITAL
Through the adoption and development
of tha Ideas of American naval nrchltects
and Inventors, the Clerman merchant sub
marine Deutschland cama into the perfec
tion by -which she was enabled to make
the 4000-mllo trip across tha Atlantlo In
18 days and arrive safety n Baltimore with
her 1000-ton cargo. It was through the
direct adaptation of the plans of Simon
Lake, of Bridgeport, Conn., that the
Doutschland was prepared for the epochal
voyage, making half of It under wator.
This, at least, la tha assertion of Wil
liam A. Dobson. naval architect, who has
planned submarines that havo been built by
the William Cramp & Sons Ship and En
gine Building Company, of Beach nnd Ball
Btreets, his employer.
"Germany," said Mr. Dobson, "Ib In the
advance ot the remainder of the world In
the perfection of submarines, nnd that per
fection cama through the adoption of Ameri
can ideas.
A PEtlFECTEP ENGINE.
"Germany Is ahead of us now in her per
fection principally because she has dev
eloped tha Diesel engine, a heavy oil engine
that Is the most adequate of Its kind. The
i Deutschland was equipped with this Diesel
engine. Other features of their updersea
boats, however, are slmlllar to those of the
United States.
"Simon Lakes, of Bridgeport. Conn., was
the Inventor of the first merchant sub
marine which later developed into the sub
marlno torpedoboat. Ho showed his ideas
to the Krupp firm In Germany In 1906 and
afterwards asserted that the Krupps had
taken his ideas and used them without
offering any compensation. I bellovo this
Is so because I met Lako over there at the
ttmo and knew that he had tha plana which
later were developed In Germany."
When Mr. Dobson read ot the Deutsch
land's romarkablo adventure, he said he
had been "looking to see something of the
sort" It Is only'tho working out of tho
German submarine naval warfare, ho said,
for it Is merely n step from naval submarines
to merchant submarines. 'There will be
many more things of greater importance'
accomplished by the undersea craft," Mr.
Dobson prophesied. "So far as long -voyngoa
by thera aro concerned, as far back as 1006
Or 1007 a trip was made from Italy around
to Stockholm, Sweden.
"Most of that trip, to bo Bure, was
above water, but It pointed the way,
nevertheless, to what could be done. It
foretokened tho coming of tha Deutschland
blockade runner.
Mr. Dobson said tho safe voyage of the
Deutschland should bo a lesson to tho
"United States authorities should show
that the United States Is not Immuno from
undorsea attacks.
"It Is a. greater lesson to our naval and
military authorities," he said, "than to
any one else. They should see by It that
we are not safe from attacks and mora
consideration should be given to thoso
inventors who havo prosonted devices by
which we can be protected to soma extent
from submarines and undersea blockade
runner.
"There la nn invention now before the
Authorities that is not being given tho. con-l4ej-tlon
it warrants. It In a vessel to be
stationed at the bottom of the ocean for
the detection and destruction of submarines.
There is nnother Invention of a uy.item
of 'mines that hear mines to "be laid
in tha harbors that aro equipped with
telegraphic and selsmograph-llke Instru
ments that locate submarines within certain
limits of territory. '
ENCOURAGE HOME INVENTORS
These devices are not being given the
consideration due them. The inventors, in
order to receive rewards for their study
and work, may havo to go to Germany to
market them, just as several such American
things adopted by Germany have caused
us to marvel at tha ingenuity of Germany.
It Is natural that these men should go to
another country when the American
authorities are so apathetlo about defensive
measures.
"Simon Lake, beforo the war, went to
Germany with his plans for p. submarine.
Ills submarine was one that sank bodily
Instead ot diving. The Germans now have
that type of submarine and, as wo have
Been, have used It very advantageously.
These boats', of which the Deutschland Is
a direct descendant, was first mado by the
Lake Submarine Boat Company ot Bridge
port, Conn.
'The United States is now using them
with the exception tliat wa have not the
highly perfected Diesel engine, Tha Elec
trla Boat Company, however, Is making
here in the United States submarines with
special heat oil engines.
"Undersea craft have a future. They
will yt 4 fur more remarkable things
than the Deutschland has done."

DEUTSCHLAND NOT CONVERTED WAR
CRAFT; REAL COMMERCE CARRIER
BALTIMORE, July 10.
The Deutschland Is no converted war
craft, but a brand new commerce carrier
owned In Bremen. It Is loarned that It was
from Bremerhaven Hint tha Deutschland
started for this country.
Although British and Fronch cruisers
stood guard oft tho Virginia CnpeB to Inter

CAPE MAT. July 10. The third day of
tha Friends' General Conference began with
divine worship nt 10:30 In the tent. Mrs,
Hnrbert Worth, Mrs. Sarah Flltcraft and
Mrs, Sarah Llnvlll all made short talks and
Isaac Wilson offered prayer. The most In
teresting part of the meeting, however, was
tho talk given by Elbert Russell, professor
of biblical llteraturo In Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. An Interesting fact in conectlon with tho
conference la that kindergartens, under the
direction of several teachers from the
Friends' Central Schpol, at 1 6th and Race

principals of high living taught by tho
Friends fit ono for any walk of life. They
also spoke a good word for Swarthmore
College, which Institution most of them
entered after leaving George Bchool.
The morning session today was held In
the Methodist Church owing to the rain.
Elbert Russell spoke on 'The Message of
Paul," and said among other things that

MAKER'S TRAGIC END
Diesel Engine Uses Less
Fuel; Cooler for Sailors
Tho Diesel does away with tho
neetl of a torch for heating up.
It starts on compressed air.
It uses 50 per cent, less fuel than
the triple expansion steam cnRinc.
The Krcgtest advantage is that
practically no heat is given off from
the engino and the crew is not af
fected when tho submarine i3 sub
merired. The Diesel uses .45 pounds of
crude oil per brake horsepower, while
the steam engine takes 1 pound per
indicated horsepower.
Since tho U-boat Deutschland steamed
Into Baltimore this morning after a trip
of '4000 miles, 1300 of It under wnter, men
In all walks of life have been asking, "What
sort of onglno did the Germans ubo to ac
complish such a wonderful feat? How could
they do It? Whnt Is tho secret?"
It remained for L. D. Levekln. the chief
engineer of the New York Shipbuilding
Company at Camden, N. J., nn authority
on such subjects, to clear up the question
nnd explain how nnd why It -was possible
to accomplish the feat.
Mr. Lovekln, who has spent yearn on the
study of such problems. Is In a position
to know nbout this Diesel type of engine
used In tho Deutschland, It was but a
few months ago that tho Now York Ship
building Company obtained rights to manu.
factum the type of oil enclnn us"1 In tho
Deutschland In her epoch-making trip.
COMPRKSSI2D AIR USKD.
"In the first place," Bald Sir. Lovekln
today, "the Plesel engino used In the
Deutschland, In which crude oil Is used, Is
Ignited by compression within the cylinder
Itself. Tho principle, which was Invented
by Dr. Rudolph Die?), of Munich, Bavaria,
avoids the use of any torch for heating up
nnd It avoids the uso of a hot bulb, such as
has been In general usa In oil engines for
many years.
"As I said it starts on compressed air and
after a few strokes the oil is Injected and
compression Itself Ignites the oil so that no
electric spark or other means of Ignition arc
used.
"The invention of the Diesel engine
caused world-wlle comment qn account of
Its wonderful economy, and was recognised
by every selentlfio body In the world at the
time tt was first announced, about six or
seven years ago, after tho Inventor had
spent IB years on It," added Mr. Lovekln.
He then spoke of the tragic death of
Doctor Diesel, who Jumped Into the uomiii
from an ocean liner on hla way from Hol
land to London about two years ago. lie
said ha thought the Inventor's mind had
been affected by his. work, Doctor Rlesvl
himself gave a lecture In the Engineers'
Society Building, New York, soma years
ago on tha Diesel oil engine, and was given
a medal of honor by the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineers.
SEVDIIAL T5TPKS OF ENGINES.
'Thare aro several types ot the Diesel
engines," added Mr, Lovtkin. returning to
tha subject of the engine itself. "They
are built on the two cycle and tha four
cycle type. Tha variation in dlgna how
ever are largely In tha dataiis,. While Dr
Diesel Invented tho principle itself used
by all, many engineers have constructed
details, which havo added to tho efficiency
pf the Diesel.
"The engine such as Is used In the
Deutschland uses about & of a pound of
crude oil per brake horsepower- A triple
expansion steam engine as Is used In th
average steamship uses about 16 pour.(Js
of water per indicated horsepower, and with
the steam angina It U necessary to usa
tollers in order to generate tha ateaqt atul
either coal or oil for fuel.
"Jf pll U used for fuel In order to put
comparison of the Diesel and triple ex
pansion on the same basis, we can con
servatively state that an evaporation of IS
pounds of water per pound of oil la about
alt that can ba expected. Thus It will bo
seen that a steamship fitted with a triple
axpanston engine and toilers, will require
about pna Pound of oil par bora power,

half ua much fuel as required by tba eteani

GREAT U-BOAT LOCKED

Continual from I'nre One

Figures moving about ng&lnBt the sky wero
discernible, and the red glows of tha cigar
ottea moved slowly to nnd fro. Figures on
the dock of a submnrlne always Btand out

them tq stand out against.
Besides the Deutschland the Tlmmtns, the
newspaper boat and the West Indian fruit
steamships Bella, Blbao and Antores, there
wero no other boatB In that Immediate part
of the harbor. It was still very dark; tho
reflection of Baltimore's llghtB was
brighter than the Daet, but the Oerman
olllccrs nnd men were on deck. There was
oase and swing In their walk across the
narrow deck.
Like n watchdog lashed to Its master for
tho greater safety of both, the little
Tlmmtns and her crew guarded the precious
Deutschland. Tho nowspnpor's boat cruised
Inquiringly nround and tho beams of a
Boarchllght glared full In tho faces of tho
amateur navigators. It followed tho little
mntorboat entirely nround nnd when It drew
nbrenst of the cabin of tho Tlmmlns, an oil
skin clad seaman stepped to tho ra.ll and
shouted t
"What do you want?"
Ho got llttlo In tho way of an Immedlato
answer but grins, and fearing perhaps that
ho might bo actually told what tho visi

Into tho cabin. Tho slow circle nround tho
U-boat went on then unhindered.

WASHINGTON, July 10. Assistant
Secretory of tho Navy Franklin D. Roose
velt nnd Cnptnln Harry McL. P. Huso, of
the Naval War Collego, left for Baltimore
at noon today to Investigate the status of
the German supcrsubmarlno Deutschland.
Upon their report will depend tho decision
of tho State Department In tho matter.
Tho report received by tho Treasury Depart
ment from customs otllclals, who boardod
tho Doutschland at Baltimore, was that
sho Is not n warship. Tho report contended
that sho Is not oven nn nrmed merchantman,
for sho has no ,guns or armament of any
kind aboard.
Tho Stato Department Immediately wna
Informed of tho ship's status by tho
Treasury Department. Tho report, whllo
preliminary, Is considered definitely to
establish the Detitschlnnd's status.
Tito Investigation to bo mado by Aeststant
Secretary Roosevelt nnd Captain IIufo was
decided upon today following n conference
between Acting Secretary of Stato Frank
Polk nnd Acting Secretary of tho Treasury
Byron T. Now ton. It was agreed that,
Inasmuch 08 a new International prec
edent must be established by tho decision
In this case, the examination would ba
mado by experts from tho Navy Department,
Until It him been made tt will not bo de
termined whether tho cargo an tho craft
Is to bo unloaded. Collector Ryan, In his
own report, says that tho cargo Is valuablo
dyestuffs and certain drugs manufactured
only in Germany and used for tho treat
ment of certain diseases, tho supply of
which In tho United States hnn beon ex
hausted for soma time.
Both Franco and Great Brltlan hava
formally called to tho nttcntlon of tho
Stato Department the presence of tho
Deutschland In Amorlcan waters nnd have
asked that hor atntua be determined.
Aatlng Secretary of Stato Polk, In an
nouncing this today, snld that tho request
was entirely a formal ono. He announced
that the question of the ownership of tho
Deutschland probably would be raised by
tho embassies. Ho said, however, that If
tho complete, examination shall dctermlno
that tho vessel Is unnrmed and entirely a
merchantman alio undoubtedly wilt bo so
regarded by thla Government.

Tho Intlal success of tho trip of tho
submarine Deutschland will inspire enough
conlldenco in tho experiment na to result In
tho dumping of American securities held In
aormnny on our markets hero In tho near
futuro. This la tho general opinion of banks
nnd financiers engaged In foreign exchange
business.' It Ib estimated that thera ara
held In Germany at present anywhera from
$100,000, 000 to G00, 000,000 American
tiecurltes, largely railroad nnd steel stocks
and bonds. Should a number of boats Ilka
tho Deutschland arrive with any largo
quantity of those securities In tha near
future tho effect on the security market
would bo serious.
Chandler Bros. & Co., stock brokers, 1SSI
Chestnut street, who recently floated sua-,
cessfully two nlno months' German loans
of $10,000,000 each are ot tho opinion that
the Deutschland does not carry any Ameri
can securities, but with tho BUCpeBa of this
first trip established they ace no reason why
In subsequent trips securities may not bo
safely carried. Thoy believe the German
mark will Immediately Increase In value,
more on account of the sentimental value
attached to this performance than to any
other basis,
S. E. Ruth, In charge of the Foreign Ex
change Department of tho 'Philadelphia Na
tional Bank, Is of tho opinion that nny ef
fect that might have been produced by the
bringing over of a large amount of Ameri
can securities by tho Deutschland httB been
largely discounted by the knowledge of her
anticipated arrival. He said that Mr. Schu

It generally known that tha submarine was
oxpected In Baltimore In a few day.
At another of tho largo financial Institu
