BAtTIMORE, July 12. The Deutsche
land will carry no Americana when she
returns, the ownord indicated tndny,
although offers ns high as $30,000 have
been made for passage.
I1ADTIMOM2, July 12. Germany's sec
end step In tier commercial submarine cam
paign against ho Hrltlsh-Freneh blockade
hag been taken, and the second commercial
submarine In Iho world' history Is now on
her way across the- Atlantic.
It boearni known here today that tho
mipersubmnrlno Bremen, slater ship of tho
pioneer Deutschland, had cleared from a
German port and was now feeling her way
oyer and through the enemy-Infected waters
of tho ocean, bound for nn American port.
Paul Hllkon, loent ngent of the Deutsche
Ozenn-Rhcdorel. the concern which Is or
ganizing the submarine merchant service.
Inadvertently announced that the lircmeu
Was on her way. After maklme the an
nouncement he tlatly refused to go Into de
tails or to Indicate when the Hrenwn had
started or what American port she might
make
"We cannot talk about the firemen." ho
eald. "All the facts about her nro busi
ness stcrcts, and It l apparent to any
one, that we ought not to betray anything
which might lead to her apprehension by
oncmy warships."
UREAKING OK HLOClvADE.
Tho safe arrival of the llrempn Is
counted Upon by German diplomacy to
glvo substantial basis for their proposed
contention that u regular merchant sea
service has been inaugurated despite tho
British-French blockade. Upon this con
tention tho Germans base their hopo of
proving to the satisfaction of the United
States and other neutrals that tho blockade,
bolng unlnforcablc, is II Ick.iI.
Tho cargo of the Bremen. It Is under
stood, consists of drugs and chcmtcuis
which have long been barred from thin
country by war conditions. Sho la also
Understood to carry a considerable amount
of mall.
Arrangements wcro completed here today
to turn over to Count von Bcriutorff. Ger
man Ambassador to the United States, all
of tho facts and figures in connection with
tho record-breaking trip of tho German
supersubmurlne Deutschland.
BernstorfT wilt como to Baltimore tomor
row and will confer with Captain I'nul
Koenig, of tho Deutschland; German Con
sul Leudoritz and tho (merits of tho
Doutscho Ozenn-Rhedcrel.
Consul Leudcrltz said today that Count
von Bernstorffa visit would be brief, and
that ho would spend most of. his timo In
Baltimore in consultation fC-itli tho local
Gorman agents at the Germanla Club. Ho
i will, however, mako an Inspection of the
ubmarino and her cargo.
DIPLOMATIC BATTLE ON-.
Tho Ambassador will Ret, at llrst hand,
all of tho information necessary to Carry
on the diplomatic struggle based on tho
Deutschland's trip, by means of which
Germany hopes to prove the Illegality of
the blockade of German ports.
The apparent determination of tho
Frcncrrnnd British Governments to treat
the Deutschland ns .a warship, to bd de
stroyed on sight, e voiced Indignant com
ment from Consul Leuderitz.
"It seems to me that wo have proved
that tho Deutschland is a merchant ship."
ho said.' "and that the was built for that
purpose and that purpose alone. Surely
Oreat Britain and Franco cannot deny
that for which they have so long contended
ns tha right of all merchantmen, the right
to peaceful visit and search."
Three great obstacles confronted tho
German diplomatist in his fight to gain tho
acquiescence of tho United States to the
proposition, that tha trip of tho Deutsch
land marked the end of a legal blockade
of Germany. They were:
The fact that only one boat has
evaded the blockading fleets, and that
ono blockade runner cannot ho consid
ered to have "broken" a blockade.
Tho contention that the suprsub
marlno In Its very nature cannot bo
compelled to comply with tho provisions
of international law governing mer
chant ships, especially tho provision
which forces warships to "visit and
search" suspected merchantmen.
Tho contention that tho Deutschland,
as a submarine, evon If admitted to bo
v. merchant vessel. Is. under the German
view of international law, available to
bo converted Into a war vessel on tho
high seas.
BIG FLEET BRADY.
"A complete fleet of merchant submarines
la now nearlng completion," said Mr. Mil
ken. "Just as soon as they can be com
manded and manned they will begin regular,
sailings for this country. We propose to
establish a service comparatively as com
plete as that now maintained by the British
and French liners."
To Indicate the feasibility of their scheme,
the Germans planned to start the Deutsch
land on her return trip Just as soon as she
can be made ready and loaded and the legal
formalities compiled w(th. Captain Koenig
today said that unless unforeseen conditions
arose the submarine would leave Baltimore
Within ten days.
NONCONVERTIDLE CRAFT.
As to the contention raised by the Brit
ish and French Kmbassies that the sub
marine cannot comply with the interna
tional law governing merchantmen, the Ger
mans will decliya that an unarmed sub
marine seeking to evade the right of a war
ship to "visit and search" would, like any
other merchantman, risk destruction by
the guns of the warship.
on this point and to refute the declara
tion that the merchant submarine could
juikiy be converted Into a warship on the
hlgn seas, the Germane will oite the reports
made by Federal pert olSeials. and Captain
E. C Hughes and the naval experts, who
yesterday Inspected the Deutschland,. These
reports, the Germane deejare. make it clear
that the construction of the submarine
would make it Impossible to convert her
Itttu a war vessel without trtually re-
nuiunng uu entire snip.
The German agents here took It for
grunted that the State Department would
follow the recommendation of the Treasury
Department and the) uaval expert who ex
amined the Deutbchland and would prompt
ly recognize her a a merchant veeeei. AH
q! trie future diplomatic oouteutuu from
the German side will he base4 on this rec
cgiiltlon, which was sjseepted' as already
virtually given.

U. S. WILL RULE TODAY
ON STATUS OF U-BOAT
Hinted That Decision Will Bo
Wholly Favorable to
German Claims
WASHINGTON. July 12. A ruling on
tho oniol.il status of the Ocrman submarine
Deutschland, now In Baltlmoro harbor, will
bo mado by tho Stato Department this aft
ernoon or early tomorrow.
Acting Secretary of Slato Polk today
called for nil of the fncts In the possession
of tho Treasury Department dealing with
tho vessel. Olllclnls close to tho Adminis
tration say that tho ruling will completely
establish tho peaceful character of tho
Deutschland and will stato In opon terms
that sho Is a merchant vessel In nil re
spects. Tho great question concerning officialdom
hero today waa when tho undersea boat
will ctart on her return trip Reports that
tho French nnd British Admiralties will
order tho vessel sunlt on sight nro strongly
discredited here.
Theso reports aro put In circulation by
tho embassy oltlclats. but Administration
ofllclals characterize them as "feelers" and
decline to go on record regarding them.
Acting Secretary Polk, however, dented
emphatically a report that If tho Deutsch
tnnil should bo sunk by n warship this gov
ernment would not concern Itself with the
cafe. Of course, If there was no loss of llfo
to an American citizen or'nn Amerlcnn citi
zen wns not placed in Jeopardy, there would
bo a decided question as to what action,
under tho circumstances, could bo taken.
But Mr. Pollt Insisted emphatically Hint
stories that this government had already
decided upon a policy to be followed wcro
absolutely without foundation.
"Wo will wait to sco what happens," ho
nald. "It Is folly to speculate on tho
mailer.
The British Embassy Is very carefully
watching tho developments. Counselor
Colvllle Barclay, who Is In charge of tho
situation, Is In dally touch with tho Stato
Department. Ho said today that whether
tho formal protest already filed with tho
Stato Department against treating tho
Deutschland as a merchant vessel would
bo followed up by nnother protest, nsklng
that tho submarlno bo Interned, has not yot
been decided.
"Orent Britain's position Is tho same that
it assumed following tho recent arrival of
a Corman submarine at a Spanish port, nnd
that Is that nil submarines nro warships
and In no way merchant craft," ho said,
"Wo Insist that the Deutschland Is a war
ship and have filed with tho State Depart
ment tho decision reached by tho Admiralty
In the caso of the submarlno that visited
Spain and then sunk a vessel en route back
to her home port. Tho Deutschland has
two ways of trying to crenpo If halted by
a warship, by submerging or running
away."
There is no longer any doubt that tho
Anglo-French Admiralty has arranged to
comb tho scan to "get" tho Bremen, sister
ship of the Deutschland It she tries to mako
an American port nnd to sink tho Deutsch
land if sho shall start back for Bremen.
