PENDLETON WHEAT CENTER
Grain-Cleaning Plant to Prepare
Crop for Bulk Shipment.
BALTIMORE, July' 10. The daring
German seamen who . brought the
submarine merchantman Deutschland
across the Atlantic slept quietly to
night aboard their vessel, which lay
moored to a carefully screened pier
guarded by a Btrong squad of Balti
more police. Captain Paul Koenig, the
skipper, had delivered his papers to the
North German Lloyd office, entered his
vessel at the Custom-house as a com
merce carrier, and had presented to a
German embassy official a packet of
correspondence for Count von Bern
storff. Now the submarine is ready to dis
charge her million-dollar cargo of dye
stuffs and take on board for the return
trip to Germany metal and rubber
needed by the Kmperor's armies and
navy.
Return Cargo Piled on Dock.
The return merchandise is waiting
on the dock, and the time for leaving
port will depend largely on plans for
eluding vigilant enemy cruisers ex
pected to be waiting outside the en
trance of Chesapeake Bay for the re
appearance of the vessel.
One of Captain Koenig's first acts
after he moved his ship up the harbor
from- .quarantine early today was to
announce that the Deutschland was
only one of a fleet of mammoth sub
. mersibles built or building for a reg
ular trans-Atlantic freight and mall
service. He said the next to come
would be the Bremen, and that she
might be looked for at some port along
the. coast within eight weeks.
No Evidence of Armament Found.
The German captain submitted his
craft to a thorough inspection by the
surveyor of the port and an agent of
the Department of Justice. These offl
cers agreed that there was no sign of
armament of any description on board,
and , that there was no doubt in their
minds about the boat's being entitled
to the status of an ordinary merchant
man.
Neither Captain Koenig nor agents
of the North German Lloyd line, to
Whom the boat is consigned, evinced
the slightest uneasiness over the sug
gestion that there might be diplomatic
difficulties. This question had received
due consideration in advance, and
nothing was left undone to make the
status of the ship unquestionable. It
was said on the authority of the cap
tain that the only arms on board were
four automatic pistols belonging to the
officers and a sportsman's rifle for fir
ing rockets.
Vessel Can Travel Anywhere.
The captain asserted that his voyage
had established the fact that a sub
marine of the type of the Deutschland
could travel anywhere that the ordi
nary vessel could" go, 13,000 miles. If
necessary. He had no fears, he said,
of his ability to elude enemies that
might be waiting for him oft the Vir
ginia Capes when he starts his return
trip. "
"I will be able to submerge within
the three-mile limit, and they cannot
catch me after that," he said.
Duripg nearly the entire voyage to
America, said Captain Koenig, the
Deutschland traveled on the surface.
Once she submerged for 10 hours, and
lay during that time on the bottom of
the English Channel to escape British
destroyers.
Captain Koenig piloted his vessel out
of Bremen on June 14. He went di
rectly to Heligoland, remaining there
nine days. On June 23 the submarine
slipped away from the island fortress.
and the trip which ended in Baltimore
today was begun.
Official Letters Delivered.
After completing the formalities with
the port authorities. Captain Koenig
was invited to luncheon as the guest
of honor of the German Club, and there
delivered to Haniel von Heihhausen
counsellor of the German embassy, the
packet of official correspondence des
tined to Count von Bernstorff. The
counsellor had Journeyed here from
New York, was a guest with the
Ueutsch land's master at the luncheon.
and went back to New Yor.k tonight.
"I have come here," said the er
bassy representative, "to present the
personal compliments of Count von
Bernstorff to Captain Koenig and to
congratulate him upon his wonderful
achievement. The Ambassador has no
official interest in the Deutschland.
Captain Koenig has turned over to me
toma correspondence which I am tak
ing back to the Ambassador, but
have no knowledge of its nature."
( Captain Koenig ate a hearty meal at
the luncheon fresh vegetables and
fresh meat the first he had tasted
since his departure from Bremen.
Captain Koenig then returned to the
offices of his agents, ana, meeting news

advances must be expected.

German war correspondents assert
that the allied offensive has been

contrast to the condition of the Russian
forces last year.
The Germans are continuing their
strong attacks along the Russian

that this is only with object of

to remove large stores of military ma

AFRICAN PORT OCCUPIED
Half Dozen Policemen Are There for
Emergency, but Their Presence
Is Proved Unnecessary.
CHICAGO, July 10 (Special.) Will
iam Lorimer was greeted by a light
ripple of applause when he stepped onto
the stage of the Second Regiment Ar
mory tonight and faced an audience
of 4000 persons," most of whom lost
their money in the crash of the La
Salle Street Trust & Savings Bank and
other Lorimer enterprises.
Half a dozen policemen stationed in
the armory had moved forward as Mr.
Lorimer stepped toward the stage, fear
ing-there . might be a demonstration.
Their presence proved unnecessary.
. Mr. Lorimer began. by outlining the
purpose for which he had called the
meeting. It was, he said, to try to
settle on some plan by which he might
help to reimburse those out of pocket
through the bank's crash.
Mr. Lorimer declared, the financial
embarrassment of the various Lorimer
contracting companies . was due to his
son having turned in every available
dollar to the bank instead of bolstering
up' the Lorimer Interests by using the
cash.. ...
He announced he wished to use every
possible -means to reimburse every de
positor regardless of personal respon
sibility. While Mr. Lorimer was speaking the
audience was as quiet as a Sunday
school class.

SUDDEN ONRUSH AMAZES
Hardly Time Is Left at Center of
Stokhod Sector for Buglers to
Sound Retreat Deadlock
Reached in Galicla.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(Correspondent of the New Tork Tribune.
By Special Cable.)
LONDON, July 10. Despite the Ger
mans' strong stand along the whole
line of the Stokhod River, the Russians
have increased their advantages In that
sector and have moved several miles
nearer Kovel. The left wing of Gen
eral ' Kaledines' army has swept for
ward almost to the village of Svidndkl,
scarcely 20 miles from the railway
Junction which is the objective of the
Russian drive in Volhynla.
Although there is no official con
flrmatlon of the crossing of the river
by the Russians at this point. It is
officially announced that the Czar's
troops have spanned the stream at sev
eral other places and are now in pos
session of isolated strips along the
western bank.
Crossing; of River Difficult.
The Russians are finding the passage
of the, Stokhod one of the most dlftl
cult tasks they have so far been con
fronted with in the furious campaign
for the possession of Kovel and the
invaded parts of Poland and Lithuania.
The Austro-German forces have de
stroyed virtually every means of cross
ing the river. Bridges have been blown
to pieces as soon as the Teutons rushed
across their last guns before the as
tonishingly swift advance .of the Rus
sian cavalry and infantry. .
Where the stream is shallow enough
to admit of fordlngs, the retreating
forces planted mines and blocked the
way with hastily constructed entangle
ments. OA the farther bank, at these
points strong defenses m were erected
and heavy guards placed in position
to resist to the uttermost all attempts
of the Russians to gain the other side.
, Whole Stream Inaer Fire.
The whole line of the river has been
put under fire of every available piece
of artillery which the Teutons have
eaved from the fierce assaults of the
last week. In addition, the heavy rains
of the last few weeks have swelled
the river so that at some points the
swift current constitutes more of a
menace to the Russian advance than
the fire of the opposing armies.
The Russian onrush in the center
of the Stokhod sector was so swift and
so sudden that almost before the Ger

Mrs. Gillies Still Contends Sbe
Knows Nothing of Escape, Al
though Driver Says lie Took
Two From Her Home.
That J. F. Gillies, convicted em
bezzler of Washington State Industrial (
Insurance funds, and Henry Roberts, a
fellow prisoner, who escaped from the
Thurston County Jail at Olympla on
Saturday night, probably are en route
to Portland. If not already in conceal
ment here, was the Information re
ceived by Detective Captain Baty yes
terday.
The fleeing embezzler and his com
panion are said to be attired in wom
en's clothes, which tallies with the ac
count of their informal departure from'
custody. Two messages have been re
ceived by the local police from the
Sheriff of Thurston County, the first
advising that Gillies and Roberts had
been traced to Montesano. Wash. Later
a message was received saying that the
fugitives, still in feminine garb, had
left Chehalis. Wash., at 2:30 yesterday
morning for St. Johns, in Portland.
Dlasrulaeel Man Bays Ticket.
The station agent at Chehalis re
ported that a man. disguised as a wom
an, purchased a ticket at that station
for St. Johns. The local police, how
ever, have been advised that both Gil
lies and Roberts are thought to have
adopted the came course.
The theory that Gillies would at
tempt to secrete himself here is scout
ed to a certain extent; the belief being
prevalent that, if actually fleeing in
this direction, he would go no further
than - Vancouver. Wash., before board
ing an eastbound train. Circulars have
been received by the Portland police,
giving detailed descriptions of the
fugitives.
Gillies,, who is '"a voluble talker," is
35 years of age, five feet seven and one
half inches in height, weighs between
1S9 and 185 pounds, has blue eyes, is
of light complexion and smooth shaven.
He is partly bald and has a thick neck,
described as of "bull dog"' conforma
tion. He wore a dark blue worsted
sack suit, with small check pattern
at least before he donned feminine at
tire.
Woman and Driver Arrested.
His companion is younger, aged 23.
dark complexion, with a heavy head of.
hair. He has quite prominent upper
teeth, but is described as good-lookingr.
Tortland police officers and city de
tectives have been informed of tbe
rumor that Gillies and Roberts are in
the city, and are keeping a close watch.
A reward of $250 is ofTered for the re
capture of Gillies and one of $150 for
the recapture of Roberts.
Further advices from Olympia say
that the driver of the auto, suspected
of having conveyed Gillies from the
jail, -and Mrs. Gillies, nave both been
arrested "as accessories to his .escape.
The Attorney-General of Washington
Is interested in the case, and it is ru
mored Vhat behind the Gillies escape Is
a well-laid plot of more than ordinary
significance. ,

for Portland is information procured
by Sheriff T. C. Foster, of Lewis
County,' and convened to the Thurston
County authorities today. This, coupled
with. Mrs. Gillies' expressed belief Sun
day .night, as reported by Bateman in
his admissions, that the fugitives wouKl
be In Idaho that night, is taken as I in
dication that they had planned to go
Kast from Portland, and search orders
instructions were sent out accordingly.
Through Governor Lister the Burns
Detective Agency has also been In
terested in the case. r
Chestec Bateman. of 01npia, who
drove the auto from Mrs. Gillies' home,
leaving tyt 11 p. M. and arriving at
Chehalis about 3 A. M., was arrested
today on the charge of aiding an es
cape and released under S 10,000 bonds.
His story Is that Mrs. Gillies en
gaged him to drive her on a trip at
S o'clock Sunday evening and sent for
him at about 11. He took the car from
the garage where he was employed
to-her house, where she met him muf
