Commander Puts. All Caution
Aside, Blows Siren When
in American Waters.
BALTIMORE, July 9. The world's
first submarine merchant vessel, the
German underwater liner, Deutsch
land, anchored below Baltimore to
night after voyaging safely across
the Atlantic, passing the allied block
ading squadrons and eluding enemy
cruisers watching for her off the
American Coast. '
She carried a message from Em
peror William to President Wilson, a
quantity of mail, estimated at
750 tons, and a cargo of 750
tons of costly chemicals and dye
stuffs and is to carry back home a
similar amount of nickel and crude
rubber sorely needed by the Ger
man army.
Voyage 'Takes 16 Days.
Sixteen days out from Bremer
haven to Baltimore, the submarine
reached safety between the Virginia
capes at 1:45 o'clock this morning, 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 cau
tion aside and began shrieking his
siren signalling a pilot, and at the
same time attracting the attention of
the tug Thomas F. Timmons which
had been waiting in the lower bay
for nearly two weeks to greet the
Deutschland and convoy her into
port.
German Merchant Flag Flying.
Three hours later, at 4:45 o'clock
this morning, the big submarine
started up the bay with the German
merchant flag flying, under her own
power, piloted by Captain Frederick
D. Cooke of the Virginia Pilots' As
sociation and convoyed by the Tim
mons. She was making more than
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
aboard the craft.
Regarding his vessel as a mer
chantman subject to no unusual re
strictions, the skipper, whose name
is said to be Captain Kairig, went
up the Chesapeake without waiting
to notify local customs and quaran
tine authorities of his presence.
Craft Under Surveillance.
He was five hours away before
Norman Hamilton, collector of Nor
folk-Newport News, heard the news,
and started on his trail aboard the
Coast Guard Cutter Onondaga. At
last reports tonight the cutter had
not apprehended the submarine, and
it is understood that she merely was
ordered out to keep the strange craft
under surveillance is a ' neutrality
measure. Quarantine and port reg-
ulations will be complied with when
the vessel moves up to her dock to
morrow.
Little was known here tonight
about what happened during the
epock-making cruise across the
ocean, which in a small measure at
least breaks the blockade on Ger
man trade with the rest of the
world. 1 None of ' the submarine's
crew had landed and the agents of
her owners had received only meager
reports. Such information as was
available came indirectly from the
pilot and from Captain Hans F.
Hinsch, of the North German-Lloyd
Liner Neckar, laid up here since the
beginning of the war. Captain
. Hinsch boarded the Deutschland
from the Timmons and made the trip
up the bay with her.

WATER BUREAU IS LOSING
Cool Weather Stops Sprinkling and
Meters Cut Revenue.
Cool weather during the present
Summer has meant the loss of a great
deal of revenue to the city water bu
reau, owing to the curtai.ment of
sprinkling. The bureau has been
caught on its metered services by rea
son of far less use of water than last
Summer, and is also about 1200 appli
cations behind for sprinkling under the
flat rate system.
Each sprinkling application repre
sents at least $3 in revenue for the
year. The loss through use of meters
will run into the thousands of dollars.

FOE REPORTED RETREATING
Brnssiloff Said to Be Making Sur

of Kovel . Railroad, With
the Enemy In Disorder.
PARIS, July . The French have
carried German positions east of Klau
court on a front of four kilometers and
to a depth of from one to two kilo
meters. They also have captured the
village of Blaches, according to the
official statement Issued by the War
Office today.
LONDON, .July 10. The British
troops have made "steady progress in
the face of stubborn. resistance," in the
neighborhood of Ovlllers, on the Sbmme
front, according to the official state
ment from general headquarters last
night. Two German counter-attacks
near the Bois des Trones were repulsed.
Russians Continue Successes.
The Eastern war front continues to
overshadow the western from the spec
tacular viewpoint, the Russian forces
going from success to success. Not
only has General Letchitzky, in the
south, occupied the railroad junction at
Delatyn, west of Kolomea, thus cut
ting off General von Bothmer from his
supply base, but General Brusslloff, in
the north, is making surprising ad
vances on both sides of the Kovel Rail
way toward the Stokhod River.
Tonight's Russian communication, re
ports the enemy forces in this region
retiring In great disorder and adds that.
the Russians have occupied Hulevlche,
which is about 24 miles to the east of
Kovel, while apparently the Russians
already are across the Stokhod River
somewhere in the region of Janovka.
Critical Point Threatened.
German possession of Baranovichi
and Kovel is absolutely essential if she
is to retain her hold over the invaded
parts of Poland and Lithuania, but it is
considered likely that it is only a mat
ter of a few days before the Russians
will be in possession of Kovel, which
would compel Von Linginsen's retire
ment from the Lutsk salient.
German official and unofficial dis
patches reflect greater anxiety over
the Russian advance-than over the Anglo-French,
which the German military
critics contend will not Interfere with
the operations against Verdun. Major
Moraht and other German critics ex-
press surprise at the extent and per-

Week in Spite of Police.

Claude A. Owen, 1804 Sharp avenue,
driver of a Jitney on East Sprague

jitney he could have killed Patrolmen
Harris and Akers and could have "shot
their l?gs off" as he watched them for
two hours before holding up the car
men.
While a search of the jitney driver
gave the robber a $4.65 profit, the wom
an passenger concealed her valuables.
The highwayman told Owen his pal
was sick in a hospital at Butte and that
it would be necessary to hold up some
other automobiles.
"I don't hurt anyone," explained the
bandit, who told Owen to go to the
police station and tell all about It. He
then told of a long list of holdups and
robberies, saying he was the one who
had helc! up all the streetcars here re

bolt by which their cell would have
been locked, had that precaution been
taken. Gillies and Roberts clipped out
