(By CARL GROAT)
Norfolk, Aug. 2. At noon Norfolk and Newport News
were nearly blind from the strain of looking for the
Deutschland. Neither city had "seen her. It is believed
she is still between Tangier Island harbor and this city.
At 9 o'clock the submarine was fifteen miles below Tan
gier, nearing Cape Charles. She was expected to pass
here shortly after noon.
Mystery In Movements.
Norfolk, Aug. 2. The Deutschland passed Tangier
Island, 50 miles from Cape Charles, at 6 o'clock this morn
ing. She was unheard fronTuntil nearer Norfolk at 8:30.
It is believed the ship may not reach Hampton Roads be
fore night. It is expected the submarins will lay in some
secluded place in the bay today, awaiting darkness to
make a dash past the Allies' patrol.
The prize steamer Appam was brilliantly lighted up
all night. A heavy haze this morning was ideal for the
Deutschland's voyage. She made good progress during
the night, but maintaining uncertain speed, calculated to
embarrass press boats following. Sometimes the craft
made sixteen knots, but most usually ten.
The submersible passed Solomon s Island, at the mouth
of the atuxent, at 8:18 a. m. Keeping up that rate o
speed she would reach the Capes at dark.
Harbor men are hoping the submarine will be invisible
to British gunners. The Allied ships are sputtering wire
lesses back and forth. High seas reported off the coasi
may prevent the use of the speed boats the Allies are re
ported to have.

. London, Aug. 3. Roger Casement paid the penalty for
ms treason wnen tie was hanged in Pentonville prison at
9:07 o'clock this morning. Ten minutes later the body was
cut down and life was pronounced extinct.
Casement's last words while waiting for the drop to be
sprung was "I die for my country." Prison officials wit
nessed the execution. A large crowd outside only heard
the bell tolled. A few cheered, others groaned- Several
Irish women led by an Irish Parliamentarian started a
demonstration, but it was stopped.
Casement went calmly to his death, led by a Catholic
Priest. He retired at 10:30 last night, slig-htlv nervous.
This morning he smiled at his guard and said, "It's a beau
tiful morning." A rosary ended the litany, which Case
ment sai(' in a clear voice. Casement was arrested on
April 22 after landing on the Irish coast from a German
submarine. He was degraded from his knightship after
the conviction.
Solicitor Galvin DuiYy. Casement's counsel, was indig
nant at the refusal of the authorities to release Case
ment's body, applied for after the inquest. The refusal i
was "a monstrous act of indecency," he said-

FRANCE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY OF FIRST
HERO OF GREAT STRIFE
Hy HENRY WOOD,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Paris, August 2. France paused
odav in tribute to the memory of
Corporal Jules-Andre Peugeot, the
irst Frenchman killed in the present
.var.
It was at Jonchcrey on the Upper
Rhine, at 10 o'clock a. m., August 2,
11)14, about 24 hours bVfore the war
was actually declaim! between JGer
many and Franeej that Peugot was
shot to death by Lieut. Mayer, at
lie head of a German pa.trol squad.
A national subscription is today be
r.g collected under the patronage of
re Minister of War and the Minister
:if Public Instruction for the erection
if a monument to Corporal Jules-An
Ire Peugeot on the spot where he
fell.
Peugeot, 21, was a corporal in the
Sixth Company of the 44th Regiment
if infantry. Early in August he was
stationed at Jonchcrey, two kilome
ters from Delle and twelve kilometers
from the German frontier.
, On the morning of August 2, he had
iust finished placing a sentinel and
returned to the house of A. M. Pau-
ourt, when the latter's little daugh
ter came ruiuiing an, crying:
"The Prussians! The Prussians."
Pushing outside, Corporal Peug?ot
found himself facing a mounted Ger
man patrol of seven members under
command of Lieut. Mayer of the Fifth
tegument of Chasseurs, stationed at
Mulhouse.
Peugeot gave the order to halt, to
which Mayer replied by drawing his
evolver and firing three shots into
h? body of the corporal. The latter
fell to his knees, discharging his gon
before ho could take aim.
Py this time a few of Peugeot'a
men had rushed up, one of whom.

They Discover a Lot of Sub
stitutes and Prepare Ex
cellent Meals From What
American Women Would
Throw Away
By CARL W. ACKERMAN,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, July 2 (By Mail) Today
it is up to the soldier's wife to see
hat the available food is cooked so
if can be eaten. Germany's land-
iturm women fight at home against
";he blockade while the landsturm man
attacks the enemy at the front.
A German hausfrau can't go to the
hops or market now and get wha
iha wants. She cannot even get
sufficient of some things she neads
ibf can buy only one-half pound of
neat a week for each person. If she
ets pork sha grinds it up fine and
:nixe3 it with bread crumbs. This
'oaf she roasts. One-third of this she
serves for one meal. Next day she
Joes without meat. The third day
die serves another third. The fourth
jay she has fish and the fifth day
she boil3 what is left of the meat with
milk and has creamed meat on toast.
Potatoes are scarce, but with more
bread and incoming spring vegeta
bles the cook makes some kind of a
new dish.
The world probably never has seen
such resourcefulness displayed by or
ganized society as is evidenced in Ber
iin today. Women who could no long
er obtain erfough flour for baking
cakes discovered that a very good
cake could be made by grating up
carrots with the whites of two eggs
and sugar. The government is now
selling soup cubes made of wheat and
fit for one cent each, which makes
3 cups of good soup. Asparagus has
taken the place of potatoes at many
meals.
Everyone in Berlin today eats by
cards. Those who live in apart
ments receive at the beginning of
??vh month their allotment of cards
from the porter. These cards include
bread, butter, moat, milk, rice and
potato cards. Every time the haus
frau goes to market she must take
her cards along. Meat and butter are
now regulated so sha can buy them
vLthout standing for several hours in
li e.
One cake of soap per month per
person is the regulated quantity. Let
he landsturm frau and her family
make the best of it and keep not only
alive but in good health.

Washington, Aug. 1. Sharp differ
ences of opinion on Senate amend
ments to the naval bill providing for
promotion of roar admirals and cap
tains by election instead of senior
ity as at present, wore voiced by high
naval officers at hearing today be
fore the House conferees on the bill.
The Senate change was vigorously
opposed by Rear Admiral Badger, re
tired, of the General Board, and Rear
Admiral Strauss, chief of Bureau
of Ordnance. It was supported by
Rear Admiral Blue, Chief of the Bu
reau of Navigation, in charge of na
vy personnel. . j Wednesday. -
(Daily Free Press 3rd)
Samuel Stocks' $10,000 bond was re
newed late Wednesday. The alleged
lyncher came here in company with
Sheriff Williams of Greene county, J.
Paul Frizzelle, his lawyer, and J. O.
Sugg, his landlord. Solicitor Shaw
declined to continue the bond given
sfter the investigation here several
weeks ago in which Judge Bond or
dered that Stocks be held. An un
certainty in the language, the prose
cutor says, convinced him that a new
bond was preferable.
Th? bond was ordered forfeited in
Superior Court at Kenansville last
week when StocKs laiied to appear
when called for trial. However, it
was explained to the presiding judge
that there had been misunderstanding
and that Stocks' absence was not out
! bad faith, and he gave th defense
ten days in which to arrange the bond
matter. "" -
There were enly three signers of
the new bond Wednesday, but others
are being added today. No attewpt
