U. S. Inquiry Ordered on Rep-

resentations of flrent Brit-

ain and France.

WASitiyqTON, July 10. Pendingfurther investigation the United Stateswill view the German submarineDeutschland a--s an undersea freight shipentitled to ply Its trade between Germanand American ports.

This Government's preliminary attitudewas determined to-d- on an lnfnrm.ilreport of Collector Hyan of Baltimore,who stated that the Deutschland did notcarry arms, that she was manned by amerchant crow and that her pnprs wereIn order. Acting Secretary of State Polknecmeu to accept the presumption thntthe Deutschland Is n merchant ship, butuy uireciion oi tnc state DepartmentCapt. C. K. Hughes of the Navy,formerly Inspector of shinseral Board, has been assigned to give .incxpen opinion as to whether theDeutschland Is or Is not a warship. Hewill be assisted by other naval olTlcein.

.nennwniie the British and French Gov- -ernments have communicated whntamounts to a nrotest nmlno iheDeuchland's presence In nil Amrl,.import. The form of this communication isa request for the United States to de-termine the exnet status of the vessel.Mr. KiTday, who Is In charge of theBritish Embassy, had a conference withMr. Polk and pointed out the positionwhich his Government takes with

to the undersea boat. The itritihnnd French Governments are determinedto make every effort to prevent the estab-lishment of an undersea trade route between uermany and the United Statei.

Great Btltaln's general line of argu-ment Is that the Deutschland U in env.-- ta warshlv even though unarmed. Ac-cording to German maritime law shemny properly he converted into anarmed vessel on the high seas. Gtrmany,In practice, has converted uirirmcd shipsInto warships at e.i on seeral occasionssince the piesent war began,

Capt. Hughes In his Investigation willgive particular attention to the ques-tlo- n

whether there are gun mounts hid.den In the ship's construction, whether'she Is so built as to permit the mount- -I tig of gun.s or nrlrac of torpedoes, Heis an expert on matters or thlx nature

The report has reached here nnof.flcially that the German officers willobject to an examination of this nature,it is niifle.1 that no one, not even anolllcer detailed by the United StatesGovernment, will he permitted to Inves- -ugaie tno secrets of the vessel, this ow-ing to the fear of discovery of Germannaval secret. At the State Department,however. It waa intimated that Mleh nh- -jectlons will be epeedlly disposed ofslid the Deutschland will submit toany detailed examination which Capt.Hughes wishes to make or put to seawithin twenty-fou- r hours,

Besides endeavoring lo prevent thedeparluis of the Deulschlnnd from Bal-timore the British Government Is readyto make very emphatic plot eel ngalnstany shipment of rubber In Germany.This article Is lliulsrstiiml In lis sorelyneeded by Germany, nm rauorls arellist pari is! ihe Deutsi'lilrtnif's returnonrgn will be rubber. The lirltlsh nt

lis permitted shipments of rub-ber from lirltlsh colonies to the UnitedStates on lb. distinct understanding thatnone of It will reach Germany or herallies, Therefore, any ntlempt to shiprubber by ths Deutschland will Immedi-ately Involve ths United States In con-troversy with Great Britain,

Alleare Crew la from Xavr.Great Britain and Trance lay stress

on ths contsntlon that ths crow of theDeutschland may be made up of

mon. Mr, Polk said1 y thequestion whether or not they were re,sorvlsts would be Inveatlgnted, Also athorough Investigation will be mails withft view to determining whether they areor have ever been under German Ad-miralty orders. It Is understood the menare ready to- - muke affidavits that theyhave never served In the Ueunun navy.

Much Is made In Entente circles ofthe probability that no crew could bepicked up and put In charge of a tub-mari-

like the Deutschland unless theyhad had previous experience with thistype of vessel. And It Is contended thismeans that they must have had serviceIn the German navy. American navalofficers are not Inclined to share thisview, Familiarity with Diesel enginesnnd special men for the storage bat-teries are all that Is needed, they say,

Secretary Daniels called a special con-ference y to discuss the Deutsch-land ense. Those who participated wereBear Admiral Benson, Bear AdmiralGriffin, chief of the bureau of steamengineering; Chief Constructor Taylor.Read Admiral Benson later had a eon.

BAi.TiMor.n, July 10, Capt. PaulKoenlg of the Deutschland gave out awritten statement this afternoon dealingprlnclpilly with the tirean-Ilhedeiel- 's

plan to establish a line of submarinecargo carriers and with general condi-

tions In Germany nnd In the countries' ofher allies. The statement follows :

"The submarine DeutscVand. which I

have the honor to command. Is the firstof several submarines built to the orderof the Deuts. he oze G. M.B. H., Bremen,

"She will be followed by the Bremenshortly,

'Tlie Idea of the building of this sub-marine emanated from Alfred I)htr.ann,then president of the Bremen Chamberof Commerce He brought his idea inthe fall of last eur ronlidentlatly beforea siirill cln ! of friends and the Idea wastaken up at once. A company wasformed under tho name of Deutsche

G M. II. II., and theGerniam.iwerft Kell was entiustcd withthe building of the Mibn-a- i lues.

"The board of dliectors Is composedof Alfred Lohmann, president of theboard: Phlllpp Ileineken, general mali-nger of the Norddeulscher Lloyds: P.M. Herrmann, mating, r of the DeutscheBank. Carl Staplefcldt, manager of theNorddetitschei I.lo.wl, has taken overthe management of the company.

"We have brought a most valuablecargo of dyestufTs, which havo been somuch needed for months in Americaand whkli the ruler of the seas has notallowed the great American republicto Impirt While England will not al-

low anyUidy thu same right on theocean because she rules the waves, wehave by means of the submarine com-mend d to break this rule. Our boathas a displacement of about 2,000 tonsand a speed of mre than fourteen knots.Needliss to say that we are quite un-- a

i nnd and only a peaceful merchant-man.

"Hecardlng things In Germany, I maymention that everybody Is convinced ofthe full dual victory of the German armsand those of our allies. All facts of theInst twenty-tw- o months go to provethat there Is no doubt of this. AllI'l land and Kurland, a country of thesize of two-thir- of Germany, havebeen for twelve months under peacefuluile, nnd the entire country has beenput under the plough nnd thousand ofncres will provide the next wintir's sup.ply of foodstuffs. Bains nnd waimweather In April and May have hroughta ciMp in view all over Germany,

Bulgaria and Turkey,finer thnn In a century,

"All Serbia, Monlenegro and a greatpart of Albanln are In tho same position.Besides Belgium, of KronenIs In German possession and all In nnourishing agricultural state. So thereIs really not the least anxiety for tinBritish attempt of trying to kill by starvatlou 100,000,000 Orrmnn and AusIrian children nnd women and non-co-

batants, the most devilish plan ever triedby any nation In the world,

"Our boats will carry across thethe malls and b.ivc them from

tlonshlp wllh the United States, goingback lo Ihe days of Washington, whenit wns Prussia who was the llrst to helpAmerica in Its light for freedom fromBritish rule, will awake afresh In yourbeuutlful and powerful country."
