coast.

The vessel carries mail and 'a cargo

of 7C0 tons of costly chemicals and

dyestuff3 and is to carry back home

a similar amount of nickel and crude

rubber, sorely needed by the German

army.

Fifteen days out from Bremerhaven

to Baltimore, the submarine readied

safety between the Virginia Calais at

1:45 o'clock Sunday morning, passing

in on the surface.

The Deutschland was menby Cap

tain Fred Cbcke of the Virginia Pilots

association, who was bringing the sub

marine to this port when she was met

by the tug TImmins, on board of

which was Captain Hinsch. Captain

Cocke then left the undersea craft,

which was ordered by Captain Hinsch

to Baltimore.

Captain Cocke stated that the un

dersea craft is more than 300 feet

long, 30 feet wide and was drawing 17

feet of water when she entered the

Virginia Capes. The submersible Is

propelled by two Deisel engines of COO

horsepower and makes about 14 knots

an hour. She Is larger thai the aver

age freight steamer and makes a speed

of about three knots In excess of the

speed attained by the average freight

boat.

The Deutschland Is commanded by

Captain Kairlg and manned by a crew

of 29 Germans. She left the German

port on June 23, according to the

story Captain Kairlg told Captain

Cocke. Captain Kairlg, according to

Captain Cocke, who was shown

through the submersible, told him

that the trip across the Atlantic was

uneventful. The captain of the sub

marine said that he passed several

British merchant ships and one Brit

ish battleship.

Submarine Unarmed.

The Deutschland Is unarmed. Her

master and German representatives

Jn this country probably will contend

that her status Is that of an unarmed

merchant ship.

Captain Kairlg stated that he an

ticipated no trouble In eluding the

English cruisers expected off the

capes any minute for the return voy

age. Tho plans of the master of the

submersible are unknown at this time.

He, however, is expected to leave for

Germany within tho next week or ten

days.

British warships were scattered all

along the Atlantic coast and they

were ordered to capture or sink this

defiant craft at all hazards. Twenty

I Captain Kalrig and his officers 61

I ways on watch for the enemy had

J sighted a warship when 100 miles oft

the capes. They sighted another on

their starboard bow, bearing towards"

them, but it was Friday afternoon

and Captain Kairig decided to send

his craft beneath the waters of: the

Atlantic and to sail in the direction

from which the warship had come.

He sailed south for perhaps 100 miles,

and when the submarine again camo

to the surfnee it was dark. Ho was

then in the vicinity of Ilntteras. There

were no warships In sight and he set

a straight course for the Virginia

Capes. Captain Kairig declared hla

vessel was not under water more than

two hours on Saturday. He said:

"I consider our voyage uneventful.

We had very little trouble. Once we

had trouble withour underwater .lights

and air tanks, but they delayed us

only a few hours. We were over S00

miles off the short course, which

made us behind the time we could

make under more favorablo condi

tions. "We ran into rough weather almost

every day for a week.' We were forced

to submerge on these occasions to es

cape high seas. It is more comfort

able under water when the sea is

' rough. We could not stand on our

feet on the surface, and the cargo be

gan to shift. When we passed near

the Diamond Shoal lights we were

partly submerged, the weather was so

rough. Our ship is as good aB new.

We made tho voyage In good time

considering the difficulties we encoun

tered, and probably will do bettw

going back."

DIPLOMATIC PROBLEM

State Department . Must Determine

Status of German Submarine.

Washington, July 10. The arrival

of tho German submarine Deutsch

land at Baltimore brings to the Unit

ed States government an unprece

dented diplomatic problem.

Tho indications are that this gov

ernment will not be stampeded into

action either by the novelty of the

submarine's! feat In crossing the At

lantic or by the contentions of the

German and British government as to

the status of the ship in an American

. port.

If tho Deutschland entered uaui

morq as a warship this government

will, it is explained, at once apply the

International regulations which gov

ern the sojourn of a belligerent ves

sel in a neutral port. The Deutsch

land will be given twenty-four hours

to leave, In addition to uch time as

Is necessary for replenishing her fuel

supply and making necessaiy repairs.

If the Deutschland on !ho other

hand enters port as a privately owned

merchant cargo ship, bent on a peace

ful commercial or diplomatic mission,

the United States will recognize the

validity of tho German claim to Im

munity until facts are brought for

ward to disprove It.

Would Keep Out Scourge.

Chicago, July 10. An appeal for the

co-operation of every local physician

to prevent In Chicago tho possibility

of an epidemic of infantile paralysis

was sent out by Dr. John Dill Kobert

spent tho entire day In his office per

paign and waiting for reports on new

cases.

New York, July 10. The board of

health reported that during the papt

twenty-four hours eighty-eight new

cases of infantile paralysis have been

reported from the five boroughs of the

city, Brooklyn leading with sixty-six.

Now that the health department has

arrived at a somewhat systematic

method of handling the cases all art

being sent to the Willard Parker hos

city the cases are reported.

The department was assisted in Its

work by 21,000 civilian volunteers,

These assistants inaugurated their

work by surveyinglark alleys and va

FAMILY IS SMITTEN;

the department of health and co-operating

research agencies are seriously

embarrassed by the shortage of mon

keys. The monkey Is the only animal

upon which tests to Identify the med

iums of communication of the disease

can be made. The Rockefeller Insti

tute, however, which was established

by John D. Rockefeller to fight Infan-

tile paralysis after his young grand

son died of the disease, has 100 mon

keys collected In the Philippines

ready for shipment. Because of dis

ease among animals on the islands

there has been an embargo on their

clnns who are combatting the out

break, under the auspices of the fed

eral, state and municipal health offi

cials. In Brooklyn members of the

league reported several violations of

the sanitary laws. In Manhattan 1C0

members of the league were taken

around precincts on the lower East

Side by half a dozen police captains.

In nearly every Instance persons ap

proached by the police and tho homa

defenders readily co-operated with

them, and good work was accomplisi

ed In cleaning up dirt and filth and

In covering garbage cans.

exportation. This is why the monkeys

have not come to New York. If the

efforts of the public health service

are successful In having the embargo

raised, so far as the monkeys are con

cerned, although the animals will not

arrive for some weeks, Dr. Emerson

believes that the scientists of the fed

Institute and of other research bodies

will be able to make great headway

In solving the problem of who and

what are the most dangerous "car

London, July 10. Dispatches from

Petrograd report the Russian forces

going from success to success.

Not only nas General Letchitzky, in

tho south, occupW the railroad junc

tion at Delatyn, west of Kolomea, thus

cutting off General Von Bothmer from

hla supply base, but General Bruslloff,

In the north, Is making. surprising ad

vances on both sides of the Kovel

railway toward the Stokhod river.

The Russian communication reports

tho enemy force In this region retir

ing In great disorder and adds that

the Russians have occupied Hulvlche,

which Is about twenty-four miles to

the east of Kovel, while apparently

the Russians aro already across the

Stoghod river somewhere in the re

gion of Janovka.

German possession of Baranovichi

and Kovel are absolutely essential if

she is to retain her hold over the in

vaded parts of Poland and Lithuania,

but It Is considered 'likely that It Is

only a matter of a few days before the

Russians will be in possession of Ko

vel, which would compel Von Linsin

gen's retirement from the Lutsk sa

lient. German dispatches express anxiety

over the Russian advance.

Fighting between the Ancre and the

Somme was less violent than in the

last two days, tho British war office

reports. A fierce German counter at

tack was made against the sector held

by the New 3ealanders. The Teutons

succeeded In penetrating the lines,

but wore ejected within a half hour.

There is a strengthening in the Ger

man artillery bombardment. This Is

taken here as forecasting a German

counter offensive on a large scale.

The lists of casualties among Brit

ish officers issued in the past four

days, apparently composed almost al

together of losses suffered in the past

week's advance, gives a total of 94

killed, 504 wounded and 30 missing.

A notable advance was made by

the French toward the fortress of Pe

ronne. On a front of two and one

half miles the French penetrated the

Teuton lines from one to two kilo

meters and took the village of

Biaches.

The news shows little change in

the relative positions on the western

front. Berlin admits the loss of

Hardacourt. It Is believed in "Berlin

that the Sixth army and reserves have

the situation well : Land on the

Somme front and that nothing can In

terfere with the progress' of the Ver

dun campaign.

ments In Mexican Situation.

El Paso, Tex., July 10. Telegrams,

letters and persons arriving at the

border all carry tho same reports that

General Villa Is in the vicinity of tho

Florido river, not far from tho Chl-huahua-Durango

border; that he is

directing the movements of the army

of General Calixto Contreras, and that

he is holding another considerable

body of men in reserve awaiting the

moment when ho shall have "suffi

ciently recovered from his wounds

and rheumatism" to stand the hard

rides and rapid movements of cam

paigning. It look3 as though Villa's forces un

der the personal leadership of Con

treras have won another victory over

the troops of the de facto government.

General Domingo Arrleta. command

ing the 2,000 Carranzista troops sent

out by General Trevino to disperse

the ViJHstas who had slaughtered the

command of General Ramos and later

looted and then abandoned tho town

of JImlncz, reported by wire to Gen

eral Trevino that he had encountered

the rebels at Las Nlevas, southwest

of Jlminez, and that he was then en

gaging the Villistas. Since then no

word had been received from Arrleta

y General Trevino at Chihuahua

City.

A suspicion was manifest that the

troops of General Arrleta might have

revolted when they came In touch

with the Villistas. All the Arrleta'

troops, together with their com

mander, formerly served under Villa.

Some months ago the Arrletas camo

Into disfavor with the Carranza gov

ernment, which had well defined sus

picion of the loyalty of the Durangc

commander.

Every move In the new rebellion

bears the Imprint of Villa's own strat

egy, according to American army offi

cers on the border. The bold attack

on General Ramos and his command,

the ferocity with which the Villistas

fought, the promptitude with which

they attacked and looted Jlminez and

then slipped away, were typical Villa

moves, It is asserted.
