BERNSTORPF PAYS A VISIT Inspects Submarine at Baltimore and Personally Congratu lates the Captain. BALTIMORE, July 13 Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, spent an hour aboard the German sub marine merchantman Deutschland to day. He inspected the vessel from stem to stern, had the intricate machinery and instruments aboard explained to him and personally congratulated Cap tain Koenig upon bringing his vessel safely through waters infested with hostile war craft. Two attachees of the German em bassy, the German and Austrian con suls in Baltimore and Mayor Preston accompanied the ambassador on his visit to the submarine. The ambassador informed Captain Koenig that he would send to him be fore the Deutschland starts on her return' voyage several packets of offi cial papers which he desires to be de livered intact to tho Berlin foreign office. Ambassador Enthusiastic. The ambassador wfts enthusiastic as he emerged from the conning tower of the Deutschland. "It is a wonderful boat and, with as courageous a crew as ever sailed the sea, has made ft wonderful voyage, ' paid he. "I climbed up and down every hatchway, looked into every compart ment, and had my first experience with & periscope. ' ' Captain Koenig did not tell me just when he expects to leave for Germany but I presume it will be soon after he has his return earg aboard. He is in complete charge of the vessel and has his orders from Berlin. His craft is a private one, just as rnUch so as any North German Llovd liner. My visit here was entirely unofficial." The ambassador arrived this after noon from New York. Prior to visit ing the submarine he attended a lunch eon at the Germania Club given in honor of Captain Koenig. Tonight he was present at a dinner given hy May or Presto-i to the cOmmandof of the submarine. He made reservations on a late train for New York. Zeppelins are Coming. City officials who visited the sub marine today quoted Captain Koenig as saying that Zeppelin airship freigh ters are being built in Germany for trans-Atlantic service. "To you," Captain Koenig wan quot ed as saying, 1 ' the trip of the Deutsch land is a great achievement. You must not be too enthusiastic over it, for a bigger surprise is coming. A great Zeppelin airship or maybe I should Fay airships, are being built in Uermau . In the not distant future one Or more of them will sail through the air to the United States. Just as sure a the Deutschland came to America, so will the Zeppelins come." The Deutschland, having discharge ! her cargo, is undergoing some minor repairs, which are being made by mem bers of the crew. A barge has been NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS EXPECTED TO GIVE $50,000.00 Washington, July 12. North Carolina Democrats are expected to contribute something like $50,000 for the Demo cratic campaign this year. . At least National Committeeman A. W. McLean of Lumberton hopes to raise approxi mately that much and McLean general ly does what he attempts to dt The state raised something over $31,000 four years ago. If that much could be rais ed then Democrats handling the na tional campaign believe that $50,000 this year should be -easy. National Committeeman MeLean spent today in Washington conferring with Democratic leaders. For the past week he has been in New York and other eastern cities conferring with the Democrats .in the east. While in New York he conferred with National Chair man MoCormick, Vice Chairman Homer Cuhimings ahd Secretary Carter Glass, of Virginia. The leaders told Mr. 'Mc Lean that the national committee is counting on North Carolina to raise her part of the campaign fund which must be had to run the campaign this year. Mr. McLean completed arrangements with the national leaders whereby h3 believes a larger amount Can be Taised by popular subscription in the Tat" Heel State. He has a plan under advisement which he thinks will bring results. It is proposed to appoint at least one man, and probably two, in each congressional district who will be authorized to so licit and receive funds. Mr. McLean lieves with 15 or 20 live men working for the party he will have little trouble in getting the $50,000 desired. It is pointed out that North Carolina has fared better in the way of getting federal jobs than any other state in the union. The state has one cabinet mem ber and a number of other good posi tions paying all tho way from $3,000 to $12,000 a yea?; The state has one ambassador, a mem ber of the lame ducks roost, who gets $7,500 a year and a liberal expense ac count and little work to do; the secre tary to the roost is a tar heel, receiv ing a salary of $4,000 a year and ex penses when traveling; Director of the Census Samuel Rogers, at $6,000 J Com missioner W. H. Osborn, of Greensboro, at $6,500, and a couple of dozen or more good places to numerous to mention. With all the places combined with the federal patronage distributed in the state, including something like 100 de pupUtles in the ihternal revenue service and several hundred postmasters, it is contended bv the national committee that North Carolina should not be lag- ing but should come across with a real good contribution. ' While in New York Mr. McLean tam ed with many men of both big and lit tle business. He found a number of dy ed in the wool Republicans" who said they would not vote for Hughes because Hughes is a Republican but some of them admitted that Wilson should be reelected again, and that ho had a good chance of turning the trick. A re markable change of sentiment ii fa or of Wilson, Mr. McLean said, has takeu place within the past two weeks. Tt was demonstrated that those who were criticising the President's Mexican pol icv before he ordered out the guard were the very ones who least desired war when they were confronted with the cold proposition of going to Mexi:o for duty. In other words, Mr. McLean is con vinced that this country does not warn. war. He thinks the President has set tied the Mexican situation so far as possible to the entire satisfaction ot tne majority of the people and that there is a growing tendency throughout the land for continued peace with all the world.i Uenorts received by Mr. McLean in dicate that the Democrats will carry the OFFICERS TAKE LARGE QUANTITY OF LIQUOR Joe Smith, Colored, Placed Under Bond Of $150 For Next Term Of Court. CHARLESTON SUPPERS FROM GREAT STORM Chief of police Henry Gray and night officer Britt of the local force appre hended One Joe Smith, colored, last night, and seized a large quantity of whiskey and the conveyance which Smith had hired for the occasion of making his entry here via Palmyra. From information given by citizens, Smith has made several similar trips to Norfolk, but on other occasions he suc ceeded in smuggling the goods safely to the home port before he could be found with the goods. Early Thursday morning Policeman I Britt became aware that Smith was go ing to Norfolk, because he had engag ed One Jim Williams, also colored, md a driver for Pittman and Bishop to con vey him to Palmyra. It now develops that Williams had instructions to meet Smith at Palmyra with the same rig for the 8:50 train. The plan was car ried out and the whiskey stored on tho buggy and brought to town. The of ficers made a good guess and stationed themselves near Madry's wholesale warehouse. In due course of time the darkies, buggy and liquor hove in sight and the entire bunch was pinched. Justice of the Peace Liverman was summoned to the temple of justice, where he found probable cause against Smith, Who was bound over to court under a justified bond of $150. Williams was released, while the rig was locked up under the process of law. Only Fatility Reported in That City, Where Trolley and Wire Service Badly Crippled ISLAND DWELLERS SAFE?

The regulation provides for the salo of products that are not standard ice cream. If the regulation is not com plied with the officials will take it to mean that you are selling your proauci as ice cream. Ice CTeam cannot be made from milk. To make ice cream requires not less than three or three and one-half parts of cream to one part of milk. The pro portion of cream and milk that can bo used depends upon the richness oi mcra. that is, upon the milk fat that they contain. Inspection will soon be made and places where ice cream is made or sold must be clean and in a sanitary condition. As yet no prosecutions have been made of the ice cream dealers, nut tney have been given ample opportunity o comply with the law, and in the future violations will have to be reported to the courts. Trolley and Wire Service Crippled. Hundreds of trees were blown down and resulted in crippled trolley and wire service. Ferry service nlso was affected by the heavy sa and hisrh tides. By noon electric power Tiilch hai been turned off during the licight of the storm was turned on. The one death was that of ;i in";vo who was killed by a live wire.

Intense heat luss added to the burdens of the health authorities in their fight to check the spread of infantile paralysis which took a toll of 32 lives in the 24 hours ending at 10 a. m. The depressing tempera ture, it was explained, tends to reduce the physical resistance of children against possible contagion. Federal and city health officials took an optimistic view of the situation to night, notwithstanding the fact that 195 new cases had been reported, on the ground that the co-operative work of the various city departments has result ed in preventing the epidemic from spreading geographically. The campaign for cleanliness among dwellers in the densely populated parts of the city is having such excellent re sults that health officials predicted to night the usual summer epidemic of ty phoid fever, will be diminished considerably.

House, brother of the bride of Zebulon. official statement tonight shows that heavy infantry and artillery fighting has been in progress and has enabled the British to maintain their pressure on the Germans and advance their line at various points. The British forces at Mametz woods and within 300 yards of the German second line. The French forces are separated only by the narrow Somme ' Valley from the German third line through I'orrone and the Mont St. Quen tin, and both armies are doubtless en gaged in preparations for the next at tacks. A conference of the munition minis ters ot the four iMitente Allies lioM in London and presided over by the Brit ish war minister, David Lloyd George, shows that effective stops are being taken to insure munitions and their proper distribution. Major Doraht, in the Berlingor Tage blatt, expresses the opinion that the coming days will be decisive of the issue of the whole war. The reticence of the Russian official communications at the present moment, judging by precedent, indicate the pro gress of some important movement which will only be announced when the operations are concluded. The Austrian and German reports show that General Bothmer is still hold ing on in the region of Tarnopol, al though the two wings of the Russian advance are 40 miles beyond Tarno pol, which seems to show that Bothmer feels secure in his line of retreat. Some heavy fighting continues on the Stock- hod line and northwest of Buozacz. The Cologne Gazette foreshadows the introduction in September of a but ter and fat card throughout the empire, providing for throe ounces a head each week and probably an egg card, en titling the holder to two eggs a week.
