WASitiyqTON, July 10. Pending further investigation the United States will view the German submarine Deutschland a-- s an undersea freight ship entitled to ply Its trade between German and American ports. This Government's preliminary attitude was determined to-d- on an lnfnrm.il report of Collector Hyan of Baltimore, who stated that the Deutschland did not carry arms, that she was manned by a merchant crow and that her pnprs were In order. Acting Secretary of State Polk necmeu to accept the presumption thnt the Deutschland Is n merchant ship, but uy uireciion oi tnc state Department Capt. C. K. Hughes of the Navy, formerly Inspector of shins eral Board, has been assigned to give .in cxpen opinion as to whether the Deutschland Is or Is not a warship. He will be assisted by other naval olTlcein. .nennwniie the British and French Gov- - ernments have communicated whnt amounts to a nrotest nmlno ihe Deuchland's presence In nil Amrl,.im port. The form of this communication is a request for the United States to de- termine the exnet status of the vessel. Mr. KiTday, who Is In charge of the British Embassy, had a conference with Mr. Polk and pointed out the position which his Government takes with to the undersea boat. The itritih nnd French Governments are determined to make every effort to prevent the estab- lishment of an undersea trade route be tween uermany and the United Statei. Great Btltaln's general line of argu- ment Is that the Deutschland U in env.-- t a warshlv even though unarmed. Ac- cording to German maritime law she mny properly he converted into an armed vessel on the high seas. Gtrmany, In practice, has converted uirirmcd ships Into warships at e.i on seeral occasions since the piesent war began, Capt. Hughes In his Investigation will give 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, He is an expert on matters or thlx nature The report has reached here nnof. flcially that the German officers will object to an examination of this nature, it is niifle.1 that no one, not even an olllcer detailed by the United States Government, will he permitted to Inves- - ugaie tno secrets of the vessel, this ow- ing to the fear of discovery of German naval secret. At the State Department, however. It waa intimated that Mleh nh- - jectlons will be epeedlly disposed of slid the Deutschland will submit to any detailed examination which Capt. Hughes wishes to make or put to sea within twenty-fou- r hours, Besides endeavoring lo prevent the deparluis of the Deulschlnnd from Bal- timore the British Government Is ready to make very emphatic plot eel ngalnst any shipment of rubber In Germany. This article Is lliulsrstiiml In lis sorely needed by Germany, nm rauorls are llist pari is! ihe Deutsi'lilrtnif's return onrgn will be rubber. The lirltlsh nt lis permitted shipments of rub- ber from lirltlsh colonies to the United States on lb. distinct understanding that none of It will reach Germany or her allies, Therefore, any ntlempt to ship rubber 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 the Deutschland may be made up of mon. Mr, Polk said1 y the question whether or not they were re, sorvlsts would be Inveatlgnted, Also a thorough Investigation will be mails with ft view to determining whether they are or have ever been under German Ad- miralty orders. It Is understood the men are ready to- - muke affidavits that they have never served In the Ueunun navy. Much Is made In Entente circles of the probability that no crew could be picked up and put In charge of a tub-mari- like the Deutschland unless they had had previous experience with this type of vessel. And It Is contended this means that they must have had service In the German navy. American naval officers are not Inclined to share this view, Familiarity with Diesel engines nnd 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 were Bear Admiral Benson, Bear Admiral Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam engineering; Chief Constructor Taylor. Read Admiral Benson later had a eon.

As the normal American consumption of German nnd Austrian dyestufls the war was about 3?,n00 tons n year, the TOO tons which the subma- rine Deutschland Is supposed to have brought to Baltimore will neither up- set the market nor end the color famine. But the firms nmong which the Deutsch-land'- s enrgo N likely to be distributed are grateful and happy. They are sure other submarine boats will run the blockade, nnd they expect satisfying, If Irregnlnr, shipments hereafter.

Paul Koenlg of the Deutschland gave out a written statement this afternoon dealing prlnclpilly with the tirean-Ilhedeiel- 's plan to establish a line of submarine cargo carriers and with general condi- tions In Germany nnd In the countries' of her allies. The statement follows : "The submarine DeutscVand. which I have the honor to command. Is the first of several submarines built to the order of the Deuts. he oze G. M. B. H., Bremen, "She will be followed by the Bremen shortly, 'Tlie Idea of the building of this sub- marine emanated from Alfred I)htr.ann, then president of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce He brought his idea in the fall of last eur ronlidentlatly before a siirill cln ! of friends and the Idea was taken up at once. A company was formed under tho name of Deutsche G M. II. II., and the Gerniam.iwerft Kell was entiustcd with the building of the Mibn-a- i lues. "The board of dliectors Is composed of Alfred Lohmann, president of the board: Phlllpp Ileineken, general mali- nger of the Norddeulscher Lloyds: P. M. Herrmann, mating, r of the Deutsche Bank. Carl Staplefcldt, manager of the Norddetitschei I.lo.wl, has taken over the management of the company. "We have brought a most valuable cargo of dyestufTs, which havo been so much needed for months in America and whkli the ruler of the seas has not allowed the great American republic to Impirt While England will not al- low anyUidy thu same right on the ocean because she rules the waves, we have by means of the submarine com- mend d to break this rule.

"Hecardlng things In Germany, I may mention that everybody Is convinced of the full dual victory of the German arms and those of our allies. All facts of the Inst twenty-tw- o months go to prove that there Is no doubt of this.

I.O.NPON, July 11 (Tuesday). Themorning newspapers, while expressingadmiration editorially for the feat of theGerman submarine Deutschland, Insistthat It cannot have tho slightest militaryImportance.

The Dally .Vrtcs says: "All the voyageproved Is that the thjng can be done, andthat bus been proved As far isthe war Is concerned, It Is quite unim-portant,"

The .Morning TrUgrnvh says: "Thevoyage is Interesting as nn Illustration ofthe success with which physical scienceIs triumphing over obstacles that were regarded, comparatively recently, as Insur-mountable."

The Daily Express saya t "Ths aehlsye-men- tcannot have ths smallest military

significance. It Is possible that a dosensubmarine merchantman may reachAmerica, but disaster Would occur tomost of them befnre they could return."

The .Uorn(n0 J'osf saysl "It Is not thecase of this helm ths first 'trader submarine' to cross ths Atlantic, Inasmuchns It is known that she Is merely an orUnary U boat with her fighting enulnment rcmovod. Whll trade ships ofevery nutloa pass freely In safsty, Germany has to travel under the sea. It Isthe finest demonstration possible of theefficiency of our blockade,"

SILENT ON SUBMARINE POST.

Transatlantic Trust Company HadOffered to forward Money.

There was no great rush of depositorslo shlu money abroad by submarine yes.terday ut the offices of the TransatlanticTiust Company, 87 William street, whichudvertlsed ten days bsfore ths Deutschland reached Baltimore that It wouldaccept deposits for transmission In thismilliner. Julius Plrnltser, president otthe company, was absent most of theday and no one else would sny how theyknew the submarine was coming.

"Mr. Plrnltser wns here this mornIng," tru.it company officials said, "butho h not In the city now."

OF WAR, SAY ALLIES

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.

When Schinasi Brothers came from Egypt,a quarter of a century ago, to introduce goodTurkish tobacco to America, they had one idea.

To show real Americans how good a realcigarette could be.

They made Naturals the only goodTurkish-tobacc- o cigarette manufactured inthis country at that time.

They made their cigarettes so good thatNaturals turned the tobacco-tast-e of Americato Turkish tobacco.

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
