NO RESTRICTIONS IF COMMERCIAL VESSEL Coming of Deutschland Raises Ques tion of Neutrality. Washington's First Concern is to Determine Whether it is Merchant or War Craft. Ownership May Have Much to Do With Status. Baltimore. The world's first sub marine merchantman, the German underwater liner Deutschland, anchor ed below Baltimore after voyaging safely across the Atlantic, passing the Allied blockading squadrons and elud ing enemy cruisers watching for her off the American coast. She carried mail and a cargo of 750 tons of costly chemicals and dyestuffs, and is to carry back home a similar amount of nickel and crude rubber sorely need ed by the German army. Sixteen days out from Bremerhaven to Baltimore, the submarine reached safely between the Virginia capes at 1:45 o'clock Sunday morning, passing in on the surface covered by a heavy pall of darkness which settled over the entrance of the bay with the set ting of a tell-tale half moon. Once inside, ths visitor threw caution aside and began shrieking his siren, signall ing a pilot and at the sante time at tracting the attention of the tug Thomas F. Timmins which had been waiting in the lower bay for nearly two weeks to greet the Deutchhland and convey her into port. Three hours later, at 4:45 o'clock the big submarine started up the bay with the German merchant flag flying under her own power, piloted by Cap tain Frederick D. Cocke, of the Virgin ia Pilots' Association, and convoyed by the Timmins. She was making mo-re than 12 knots an hour and could have docked in Baltimore by night, but ar rangements had been made for receiv ing her with formal ceremonies Mon day and her captain was ordered to wait in the lower harbor. He and his crew of 29 men remained aboard their craft until it reached Baltimore. Regarding his vessel as a merchant man subject to no unusual restrictions, the skipper, whose name is said to be Captain Kairig, went up the Ches apeake, without waiting to notify lo cal customs and quarantine authori ties of his presence. He was five hours away before Norman Hamilton, collector of Norfolk-Newport News, heard the news, and started on his trail aboard the coast guard cutter Onondage, and it is understood that she merely was ordered out to keep the strange craft under surveillance as a neutrality precaution. Quaran tine and port regulations were com plied with when the vessel moved, up to her dock. Little was known here about what happened during the epoch-making cruise across the ocean which in a small measure at least breaks the blockade trade with the rest of the world. Such information as was available, came indirectly from the pilot and from Captain Hans F. Hinsch, of the North German Llyod Liner Necker, laid up here since the beginning of the war. Captain Hinsch boarded the Deutchland from the Timmins and made the trip up the bay with her. According to the accounts reaching here, the underwater liner's super structure was standing 15 feet above the water when she came in. Until daylight she showed no flag, but the German merchant ensign was raised at sun-up. Fourteen Haiders Killed. El Paso, Texas. Two Americans and an American-born Mexican shot and killed fourteen Mexican bandits m a running fight three miles from Aanapra, N. M., only seven miles yest of El Paso, and across the New Mexico State line. The posse of Americans led by Tom Perrine, a former Txas Ranger, desert scout, and cus toms line rider. His two companions were Jess Adams, another Texan, and Alex Alevra, a Mexican boy who was born on the American side. Bud Fisher Breaks Rib. Saratoga, N. Y. "Bud" Fisher, the cartoonist, was pinned beneath his automobile when it overturned on the state road north of this city, but es caped with a broken rib and several bruises. MERCHANTMAN SEALED MESSAGE FOB WILSON FROM KAISER Vessel Makes 4,000-Mile Sea Voyage Being the Longest Ever Under taken by Any Underwater Craft. Norfolk. Bearing a sealed message from Emperor William of Germany, to President Wood row Wilson, run ning the gauntlet of innumerable dan gers from mines, sea-sweepers and enemy warships, and bringing a cargo of dyestuffs, chemicals and mail esti mated at 750 tons, the German under sea merchantman, the Deutschland, quietly slipped into Chesapeake Bay Sunday morning at 1:45. It was the completion of a 4,000-mile sea voyage for the craft, the longest and most hazardous ever attempted by any sub marine. Three hours later, led by the tug Thomas F. Timmins, the little vessel with a record of 13 days of mysterious vigil off the Virginia capes, the great submarine began the last leg of her voyage, up the Chesapeake Bay. On the heels of the Deutschland and following in her wake with all the speed to be coaxed from her pow erful boilers, the coast guard Onon daga dashed up the bay. On board the Onondaga is Collector Norman Hamilton of Norfolk and a number of newspaper men. Whether or not Mr. Hamilton has orders is not known. Some believe that the Onondaga undertook the chase of the Deutschland at the request of Mr. Hamilton and that he and not Cap tain Chiswell is under orders. No Torpedo Tubes. The Deutschland carries, mounted in her conning tower, two small guns, of about three-inch caliber. There were no evidences of torpedo tubes. She is also equipped with a bridge and powered by two Deisel engines, of the latest type. The boat is capable of submerging in less than two minutes. On the surface of the water the sub mersible has a speed of from two to three knots an hour more than the average merchant steamer. According to Pilot Fred Cocke, of the Virginia Pilots' Association, the first American to board the Deutsch land after she arrived on this side of the Atlantic ,the crew wore regula tion uniforms of German merchant men seamen. No flag was displayed when the Deutschland first appeared off the capes. Later, when inside the bay, the German merchantman's en sign was raised. Captain Cocke said the commander of the Deutschland made no effort to conceal anything and was extremely frank in stating his mission to the United States, that of instituting an undersea merchant marine export and import business between the United States and Germany. WASHINGTON WATCHES NEUTRALITY PHASE First Concern is to Consider Whether Submersible is Properly a Mer chantman. Washington. The first concern of the United States in the arrival of the German submarine Deutschland is to determine whether the submersible is properly a merchant vessel or whether under any interpretation of the prin ciples of international law she could be classed as a warship. Nothing but an examination of the submarine it self with a survey of her armament if any, and the composition and charac ter of her crew can settle the point. This will be made by the State De partment and the customs authorities as soon as the ship puts into Balti more. Whichever way the issue is decided new questions of international law are almost sure to be added to the many j which the war has produced lor the United States. As a warship the Deutchland vould be required to leave an Amta-ican port within 24 hours of her arrival un less additional time was required to make her seaworthy. As purely a commercial ship sie would be as free to enter and leave American ports as any other and this government would have no concern ta j the novel manner of her coming or I the fact that the ingenuity and daring ! of the German Admiralty had been able to get a ship through the Allied blockade. If she should venture to ! return to Germany the submarine would enjoy protection of the United States within the three-mile limit. If she should fall a prey to hostile war ships on the high seal" the concern of this government, in its stand for the safety of peaceful commercial ships would be governed entirely by th conduct and character of the submar ine itself precisely as If she sailed wholly above the water. RUSSIANS MEETING SUCCESS IN EAST FOR THE TIME OVERSHADOWS WESTERN FRONT FROM A SPECTACULAR VIEWPOINT. MAKE SURPRISING ADVANCE Enemy Forces Retire in Great Disor der For About 24 Miles. French Have Returned to the Offensive in the Western Theatre. London. The Russians on the Eas tern front are going from success to success and for the time that theater of the war is overshadowing the west ern front from the spectacular view point. Not onJy has General Letchitz ky, in the south, occupied the railroad junction at Delatyn, west of Kolomea, thus cutting off General von Bothmer from his supply base, but General Bmssiloff, in the north, is making sur prising advances on both sides of the Kovel Railway toward the Stokod River. The Russian communication reports the enemy forces in this region retir ing in great disorder and adds that the Russians have occupied Huleviche, about 24 miles to the east of Kovel, while apparently the Russians are al ready across the Siokd River some where in the region of Janovka. German possession of Baranovichi and Kovel are absolutely essential if she is to retain her hold over the invaded parts of Poland and Litchua nia, but it is considered likely that it is only a matter of a few days be fore the Russians will be in possess ion of Kovel, which would compel von Linshingen's retirement from the Lutsk salient. The French have returned to the offensive in the western theater, south of the Somme and have captured trenches over a distance of about two and a half miles east of Flaucourt and to a depth ranging from about two thirds of a mile to one mile. The British have been engaged in fierce fighting In the neighborhood of Ovilleres where the statement from the British War Office says they have tgain made "steady progress in the face of stubborn opposition." DEMOCRATS AIM TO FORCE ACTION ON PARTY BILLS Uniting Forces in Congress for an Early Consideration of Prepared ness Measures. Washington. Democrats in Con gress are uniting their forces to com pel action on the army and navy ap propriation bills, the revenue measure and the government shpping bill, which are the most important legisla tive measures remaining on the ad ministration program. The National defense appropria tions, the totals of which, as they pass ed the house, have been vastly increas ed by senate committees, are certain to meet stubborn resistance in confer ence. It also is certain that the ship ping bill will encounter persisten Re publican opposition in th senate. These prospects have upset all ad journment predictions and administra tion leaders are resigned to the pros pect of remaining here if necessary until fall despite the national politi cal campaign. When senate Democrats in caucus determined to press the shipping bill and amended it in order to satisfy members of their own party who had been in rebolt, they served notice on the Republicans that their challenge of a filibustter had been accepted. Now that there are assurances of enough votes to pass the bill without Repub lican help, however, the Republican threat of a filibuster is not taken so seriously by Democratic leaders. " 8 SCHOONERS OFF GULF COAST LOST IN STORM Biloxi, Miss. The American schoon er St. Bartbolymew of Biloxi wls add ed to the list of the seven schooners reported missing and it was feared here that all had foundered or been dashed ashore during the tropical storm.

Wreckage in Mobile and imjaediate vicinity left by last week's terific tropical buricane which spread over the gulf coast, was rapidly being cleared away and telegraph and tele phone service with the outside world have been partially restored to Mo bile, while other public utilities are in partial operation. There have been no deaths in Mobile from the storm, which damaged the water front. MEXICO HEADS READY TO MEET U. S. CONFEREES. Mexico City.
