DEUTSCHLAND AGAIN
IN AMERICAN PORT
Conllnned from Face One
to .Captain Illnsch that she was at hand.
The anxious former North German-Lloyd
master stirred up the Scott tugmasters and
hastened out some miles beyond Eastern
Point to welcome Captain Koenlg.
It was a happy reunion of the two men
who had met last July in Hampton Roads,
when the DeuUchland made her maiden
came up 'through the Sound, swept past
Montauk Point, past Fisher's Island to the
welcome tune of buoy and lighthouse bells
and the screech of outer bay fog horns.
Lieutenant Krapohl and the remainder of
the twenty-five crew, except those busy with
tho rudders and complicated machinery be
low, were lined along the submarine deck.
In gray caps and gray seajackets, they were
picturesque' beneath the flaring oil lamps
of tha tug. ;
They were the same men, with two ex
ceptions, as tha crew that rode Into Balti
more previously. One of the new adven
turers was a lad apparently not more .than
fifteen years old.
NEW LONDON JARTLED
The sleepy, ancient whaling, town was
startled at the Deutschland'a arrival.
Rumors followed rumors about submarines,
until staid New London wearied of them
and disbelieved them. So there were only
a few stragglers to witness her coming.
Collector of Port McOovern, of Bridge
port, hastened here and planned to receive
Koenlg's manifests early, '
No time will ba lost In unloading tha
cargo, said to Include valuable drugs and
a rare medicine, shut off from America
by tho -war. Her whole cargo Is 'said to
be valued at $1,000,000. She will take
back nickel and rubber of nearly equal
value, to be used In hospitals and for
munitions. In addition. It Is understood,
she carried a pouch of .diplomatic mall for
Ambassador von Bernslorff.
STORT OF VOYAGE
Captain Koenlg,. reticent in tha early
hours, promised newspapermen that during
the day he. would detail to them the whole
story of the second Journey. Meantime, he
and Captain Illnsch conferred and prepared
for unloading.
Chief Officer F. W. Kraphol, however,
told the story of the voyage In which the
submarine maneuvered under British bat
tleships In the English Channel and was
nearly wrecked by the fierce storms on the
Atlantic? which made every member of the
craw nearly helpless from seasickness. He
said:
" "Wo had very bad weather almost all the
way across. On leaving port wa ran right
Into-a big fleet of English battleships and
submarine destroyers. Captain Koenlg.
maneuvered right under the bottoms of
soma of the biggest battleships In tha whole
English navy, and they never saw us at all.
Our attempts to escape the battleship!
caused ua much delay In our voyage. After
getting out of the English Channel wa ran
Into a storm and then It was a case of 'one
storm after another, all the way, until
about four days ago, when wa ran into
calm weather.
SAILORS ALL ILL
"It stormed so bard that we had to keep
submerged almost all the time to keepsfrom
being shipwrecked. Tha -weather continued
this way for days and the Deutschland
rocked badly. It rocked ao badly tha crew
became seasick and It was with great diffi
culty that we managed to keep afloat, as
moat of the crew were hopelessly 111 almost
all the time.
"Four days ago we ran Into a calm and
made rapid progress. We examined our
n vessel and found that she was' quite badly
dasoaged before, but nevertheless we kept
g-irig. About midnight last night wa found
ourselves oft the New England coast and
. pfet full speed on for New London. A little
while Jeter wa picked up the pilot and,
.heading up the river, we docked In safety
fterour long vojage,
"Wa found New Jxsndon an Ideal place to
gret into: It will also.Tie an Ideal place to
,, r sjet, out of It, as we can submerge at the
toe): and make ourV way to' sea without
coming ones to the surface. I cannot tell
what Is in ths submarine, as I am under
orders from-Germany not to do so."

Some Odd Advertisements
OLD JOHN BARLEYCORN
IS BURIED IN VIRGINIA
Centlnord from rase One
of men thrown out of
employment with
the suppression of tho liquor Industry.
Every brewery In the State has arranged
to engage In some Industrial pursuit or
has permanently given up business. Fol
lowing tha plan of tho Tortner Brewing
Company of this city, one of tho largest
concerns In the State, n number of brew
eries have arranged to manufacture horse
and mule feed and such products.
The law effective today Is one of the most
stringent yet enacted In the United States.
Passengers traveling "Into or through the
State are not permitted to carry or have In
their possession mora lhan one quart of
liquor of any description. Residents cannot
legally keep more than that quantity In their
homes. Liquors cannot be given to friends.
The legislature made ample provision for
seeing that the treasure be enforced as
rigidly as Is called for by the statute. The
office of Stato Commissioner of Prohibition
was created.
This office Is filled by a man who was
largely responsible for tho momentum added
to the prohibition movement-recently In
Virginia tho Rev. J. Sidney Peters, former
field secretary In Virginia for the Anti
Saloon League.
One of the most difficult practices Com
missioner Peters and other officials will face
la the bringing of liquor from Washington,,
Just across the Potomac River from here,
Into Virginia by trolley, automobile and In
vehicles. A great number of Government
employes .of the District of Columbia reside
ln Alexandria, going In to work In Wash
ington dally .and returning in the evenlnga.
Some Government employes, already have
arranged .plans for defeating the provision
against brlnglnS In more than a quart of
liquor They have had false "gasoline"
tanks built In the' radiators of their automo
biles, In which they can store liquor.
The .novel question of whether a man can
drink more than a quartjof. beer and come
into Virginia has already been raised in this
border city. Local officials have the matter
tinder consideration and It Is believed they
will decide to enter a charge of drunken
ness against any person known to have
drunk more than one quart of alcoholic
liquor, even beer, should he come across the
rjver from Washington, although he may
not be Intoxicated.

And as an outlet
for these spirits he

In the trenches.

'The dugout editor mutt not be dismissed

these; "ho Is the assassin of sorrow In the
British armies. He holds Joy In his Ink
stained hands, so that whole platoons dis
solve In watery tears when their edltot

I notice a complete lack of all sentiment
In these Journals. Sentiment Is nnathema.
Poetry of . Irrepressible gaycty abounds.
Thus:
' Said a cockney on furlough from Wipers,
TIs the 'ell of district for snipers,
And things wot we see ain't exactly wot we
Read abaht In tho sober We pypers."
A TRENCH DIART
Dangerous missions are dealt with In
most light-hearted vein. In ono very muddy
trench newspaper I read extracts from tho
diary of a cheery boy subaltern. His con
mandlng officer had! roused him from sweet
slumbers with unpleaslng Information as to
a projected daBh over to the enemy lines.
Tho youthful hero writes:
"9:10 p. m. The C. O. tells me he wishes
me to conduct the party.
"9:15 p. m. Said I would think about
It. Observed with telescope four Germans
In trenches opposite. They seem large,
cheerful, powerful gentlemen.
"9:30 p. m. Pretended to eat a hearty
dinner. Appetite curiously feeble. Com
manding officer pooh-poohs my big four.
Says they're probably caretaker, with wife
and two boys. Dislike commanding officer.
"9:35 p. m. Find one of my patrol writ

"10 p. m. Patrol whistling 'Dead March

"10:05 p. m. Fell headlong Into large
flooded shell hole and lose commanding of
ficer's best pistol. Am glad. Vengeance Is
mine. Company bomber, seeing me un
armed, loads me with bombs. Nasty awk
ward things.
"10:10 p. m. We trend" on our listening
post six of them and reprove them for
swearing. Reach German wire at
last, and crawl hurriedly Into decaying

Narrow escapes are .always treated light
ly In the trench Journal. There are strange
tales from the village billets, records of
trench pastimes, from gardening on a heap
of clay to raf-catchlng. In one very muddy
newspaper I read an unfinished letter one
that never will be finished for the writer
was shot through the heart as he wrote.
"Our captain has Just passed along to see

TRESS DAY "LURID"
Tress day Is a somewhat lurid ordeal, for
editor, reporters, printers and distributors
are nil fighting men.
One faithful pen,mnn describes the first
Issue of his particular regimental Journal,
"Of our first number." he says, "a trench
mortar made utter havoc. Words of empti
ness and naughtiness and sin rose In chlor
ine clouds from tho depths of the earth.
We the assistants were burled deep U
debris and covered with wounds. Hut tho
editor himself rat silent whilst fitting a
new mainspring to his vocabulary.
"Meanwhile, his sub. carried on slightly

Yes, tho trench editor Is an Important
personage. Has he not reporters In the

"The Lead Swinger" and 'The Listening

twenty wishes to meet a lady of means.

pointment In the Machine Gun Section.
Very musical. Can play anything from a
Jewsharp to the Lewis maxim. Clever

The motto of the "Sappers' Solace" Is
taken from n notice printed In Paris long
ago when plague overwhelmed the city.

Futurist drawings nppear In all the
trench newspapers. Many are most ex
cellent, for soma of the finest artists In the
world ore today fighting as ordinary Tom
mies In the trenches.
"I was busy editing our weekly paper
when the Germans started a terrific bom
bardment," said n Journalist of my
acquaintance who once was a leading light
of Fleet street, but who now has been nn
ordinary "Tommy" these many moons,
"my typewriter was blown to smithereens
and loose pages flew In alt directions."
"Bombardment doesn't affect one's mind
much. You don't feel the slightest bit
afraid. Only a lot more alert than usual
and rather keyed up. As I scrambled along
the fire trench I laughed once because I
found I was talking away nineteen to the
dozen. I listened, as though It was some
one else speaking, and I heard myself say:
'Let her rip! Let her rip, you blighters!
You can't smash us, you sauer-krauters I
You're only, wasting the ammunition you'll
be praying for presently. Walt till our
heavies get to world on you, you beauties.
You'll wish you hadn't spoken. Let her
rlpl That was a rotten shot!'
"As I got along the trench I found all
the men out. Itching to get over tho para
pet They had the killing look on their
faces, and each man was fingering his bayo
net lovingly.
"In the trench beyond the men were lift
ing something from the ground. It was
our poet, the little officer who wrote the
cleverest verse In the regiment and who
was tho backbone of our trench Journal.
His head was absolutely smashed and he
was quite dead.
"When the bombardment concluded I
crawled back to a dugout, found a paper
and a pencil, and sat down quietly to write
my editorial. It was a humorous one, too
though I didn't feel like It at the" time.
But One has to do one's bit In keeping the
others cheery and, after all, that's the
real forte and mission of the trench edl-t6rl"
