Washington, July 10. The submersible Deutschland
is "not a .warship. She is not even an armed merchant
mlari. There are no guns nor armament oi any kind on
board. This was reported to the Treasury Department
by1 customs officials who boarded the submarine at Balti
more, Secretary McAdoo told the State Department. The
report, although preliminary, is considered to have defin
itely fixed the ship's status. The British and French em

Interest' is "divided ' between the Deutschland and the
crew. The latter, all young; danced and laughed when
they landed. - Koenig said he brought a valuable cargo of
dyestuffs "for American friends." He said the idea of
building the submarine was conceived by "Alfred Lohman,
president of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce. He said,
"When danger approached we went' below the 'surface.
1 am not in position to give the full details, in view of the
near presence of enemies. The boat has a 'displacement
,of 2,600 tons, a speed of over 14 knots, and is unarmed.

We are a peaceful merchantman." . .

Mail' and Cargo. ; ' .
(Baltimore, July 9. The world's
first submarine merchantman, the,
German under-water liner "Deutsch
land anchored below (Baltimore to
night, after voyaging safely acro3
the Atlantic, passing : the Allied
'blockading squadrons and eluding
enemy cruisers watching for her off
the' American coast. ' She carries mail
arid a cargo of 7WtonV'of costly
chemicals and dyestuffs, 'and is to
carry back home a "similar amount
of nickel and crude rubber, sorely
needed by the German army.
'Fifteen days out from Bremerha-
ver. to lialtimor, the submarine
reached safety between the Virginia
capes at 1:45 o'clock this morning,
passing in on the eurface, covered
by a heavy pall of darkness, which
settled over the entrance of the bay
with the setting of a tell-tale half
moon. Once inside, the visitor threw
caution aside and began shrieking his
siren, signalling a .pilot, and at the
same time attracting the attention of
the tug Thomas F: Timmins, which
had been waiting-in the lower bay
for nearly two weeks to greet the
Deutschland and convoy her into
port. ' J'1,.
Flies German Merchant Flag.
Four hours later,' at 4:45 o'clock
this morning, the big aubmarine
started up the bay with the German
merchant flag flying, under her own
power, piloted by Captain Frederick
D. Cocked of the Virginia Pilots' As
sociation! and convoyed by the Tim
mins. Bhe was matting more tnan
12 knots an hour, and could have
docked in Baltimore tonight, but ar
rangements had been made 'for re
ceiving her with formal ceremonies
tomorrow and her captain was order
ed to wait in the lower harbor. He
and his crew of 29 men remained on
board their craft.
Regarding his vessel as a mer
chantman, subject to no unusual res
trictions, the skipper, whose name is
said to . be Captain Gairig, went up
the Chesapeake without waiting to
notify local customs and quarantine
authorities of his presence.' - He was
five hours away before Norman Ham
ilton, collector of Norfolk-Newport
News heard the news, and started on
his trail aboard the coast guard cut
ter Onondaga. At last reports to
night the cutter had had not ap
proached the submarine, and it is un
derstood that she merely was order
ed to keep the strange craft under
surveillance as a neutral precaution.
Quarantine and port regulations will
be complied with when the vessel
moves up to her dock tomorrow.

The undersea liner is at . least
as large if not larger than any of
the German naval . submarines, and
carries 750 tons deadweight of cargo.
Hundred Tons Dyestuffs.
- New York, July 9. The , German
submarine Deutschland which enter
ed the Virginia Capes today, carries
a cargo of approximately 250 tons of
which about 100 tons consists of
chemicals and dyesttffs consigned t$
five New York houses, it was an
nounced, here today.
While the New York merchants
knew the submarine was on her way,
they had little delayed information
regarding the history-making voy
age. They estimated tonight that
the submersible carried 150 tons of
mail which the business men of Ger
many had been unable to get past
the British censor. I . '
