MERCHANT U-BOAT GUARDED
CLOSELY AS CAPTAIN PLANS
HIS DASH INTO OPEN OCEAN
BALTIMORE, Md., July at. Another
day found the German merchant submarine
Deulschland still moored at her closely
guarded dock In Baltimore harbor. Her
captain. Paul Koenlg, paced the bridge,
anxiously watching the mists that rose over
the Patapsco River.
A night of tense activity and nervous ex
citement kept the strong force of guards
that surround the submarine on edge, an
a misty dawn failed to bring the Deutsch
land out from her haven of coal barges and
barbed wire. The submarine, with her
cargo of nickel and rubber, lay close be
hind her ramparts, with the time of her
departure still a matter of mystery and
doubt
Captain Koenlg and his port ndvlsera
wera not yet ready to start the submarine
on her perilous dash through Allied cruisers
off the Virginia Capes and Allied fleets In
European waters.
Various reasons were assigned here to
day for the failure of tho Oeutschland to
make her expected start for Germany.
But none of them gained any official rec
ognition from Captain Koenlg j Captain S
Ilnsch, port captain of the Otenn-nhe-derel,
which owns the Deutschland. or Paul
Hilken, of the North German Lloyd Line.
Theso omclals spent an anxious night and
an anxious morning arranging business
details, scanning charts and maps, nnd
getting reports from their observers who
havo been sweeping Chesapeake Bay from
the Patapsco to Hampton Roads seeking
clear-way for the Deutschland's outward
voyage.
GOLD SHIPMENT WANTED.
Ffforts have been made, It was learned
today, to obtain a shipment of gold coin
or bullion. Paul Hilken admitted that
gold might be taken Some dimculty, how
ever, was encountered In arranging Insur
ance on gold In any amount and tho effort
max be abandoned. It was planned to ship
1100,000 consigned direct to the German
Government. This plan led to tho belief
that the Deutschland on her way to this
country carried American securities owned
In Germany, which have since been quietly
old In tho American market.
The superaubmarme will carry corre
spondence seeking to re-establish trade In
German potash. Fertiliser manufacturers
In the United States have found their busl
nes crippled by the lack of potash, and as
n'-reiult tho farmers haveb een unable
properly to treat their land Letters al
ready aboard tho Deutschland seek an
agreement, under wfelch potash would bo
related from Germany under a guarantee
tlat It would be used solely for fertilizers,
tct He consumed In this country.
Marine observers here today were In
clined to the belief that the Deutschland
until weather conditions exactly suited tho
commander. Meantime Captain Koenlg wns
plalrily becoming worried and Impatient at
tho delay.
OTHER SHIPS WATCHED.
There was a tightening of the nlready
tense secrecy surrounding the Deutschland.
Guards were redoubled last night and every
craft that passed up or down tho river was
scrutinized In tho glare of searchlights from
the tug Tlmmlns, lying at the mouth of
the Deutschland's slip, and a smaller tug
lying alongside tho submarine. A tug
with newspaper men aboard edged a little
too close to tha barrier around tho sub
marine Just before dawn and caused some
excitement. The press boat slid silently up
to thu barges surrounding the submarine
before the Tlmmlns sighted her An excited
hall from th barrier, a flash of searchlights
and arc lights Inside the .slip and a chorus
of German objurgations followed the dis
covery of tho craft, and shouted threats
drove the press tug to deeper but safer
waters.
The Italian freighter Appolonla, Just ar
rived from Genoa, worried the Deutschland
guards. The Appolonla came to anchor di
rectly opposite the mouth of the Deutsch
land slip, and her grimy black hull through
out the night loomed darkly Just beyond
tho berth of the Tlmmlns, The Italian was
under the searchlights of the Tlmmlns every
few minutes, and several times during the
night a smaller boat was sent out to circle
tho freighter.
Two members of the crew of the Deutsch
land who went ashore last night caused
some excitement. They returned In the
wee small hours, and the guards did not
recognize them. Hans and Fritz fought
their way through to the pier, but not until
one of tho submarine's officers had turned
out a dozen men to repel tho supposed
Invaders,
No official word was available today re
garding the arrival of the second merchant
submarine, the Bremen, but It was accepted
as probable that Captain Koenlg would not
clear tha Virginia Capes until he had re
ceived some word from his sister Bhlp.
WASHINGTON. July 21. Although no
formal objection to tha clearance of the
German submarine merchantman Deutsch
land from Baltimore has been Interposed
by tha embassies of the Allied nations, there
are indications that after the American
Government has placed itself on record by
grantlnr clearance papers the Informal rep
resentations made by the British and
French Ambassadors soon after the Deutsch
land's arlval may be supplemented by a
mora definite protest
U-Boat May Carry Four Million
NEW YORK, July 21. Tha financial
community heard a report that $4,000,000
In gold Is In the cargo of the German sub
marine Deutschland. Marine Insurance on
It was said to have been underwritten by a
New York broker at 5 per cent.

It Is not anticipated that nny real con

As far as general opinion goes. It Is felt

Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis

In Turkey a post card which on Its face
would appear to bo n mere word of greet

Lloyd George Tells Commons of
Preparations for Vigorous
Effort on Mesopotamia
Line
ASQUITH PROMISES PROBE
LONDON. July 21. David Lloyd George,
Becretary for War, announced In the House
of Commons yesterday that preparations
were being made to push the Meiopotamlan
campaign with renewed vigor. H admitted
that mistakes had been made and said that
the trouble lay mainly in Ihe transport
system.
Bvery requisition made In the War Office
for aid for tha sick and woundtd-and for
transport had been honored, the Secretary
said. Orders had been given In England, ha
declared, for the construction of river
steamships and other craft nnd arrange
ments had been made for the construction
of a light railway along a part of the Una
of communication
Premier Asqulth announced that secret
Investigations of the Dardanelles and
Mesopotamlan campaigns would be in
stituted, and that both Houses would be
represented In these Investigations. Sir
Edward Carson thereupon withdrew tha
motion which he had announced ha would
make today.
Premier Asqulth said the Inquiries would
be held by small bodies composed of mem
bers of both Houses and a representative of
Australia, whose troops had ptayad so
gallant a part In the operations at the
Dardanelles.
David Lloyd George gave a long ex
planation of the Mesopotamlan difficulties.
Much of the trouble, he said, was to ba
traced to ihe complicated system of con
trol. While Sir William R. Robertson, chief
of the Imperial Staff, directed the military
operations, the Indian Government supplied
the forces, and the commander-li, -chief In
India was responsible for tha supplies.
