BALTIMORE, July 10 On delivering
his ship's papers to the officers of the
North German Lloyd line today. Cap
tain Paul Koenig. of the, submarine mer
chantman Deutschland, issued a formal
statment declaring: his voyage across
the Atlantic had broken England's rule
of the seas. The statement, typewrit
ten on the stationery of the Deutsche
Ozean-Rhererei CJ. M. B. H., Bremen,
announced that the Deutschland was
the first of several submarines built
for the transatlantic trade and that
she would be followed by the Bremen.
Following is the statement:
"The submarine Deutschland, which
I have the honor to command. Is the
first of several submarines built to or
der of the Deutsche Oiean-Rhererel O.
M. B. H., Bremen. She will be followed
by the Bremen shortly.
Idea Originated in Bremen.
"The idea of the building of this sub
marine emanated from Alfred Lohmann,
then president of the Bremen Chamber
of Commerce. He brought his idea in
the Fall of last year confidentially be
fore a small circle of friends, and the
Idea was taken up immediately. A com
pany was formed under the name of
Deutsche Ozean-Rhederel, O. M. B. H..
and the Germaniawerft, Kiel, was In
trusted with the building of the aub
marines. "The board of directors Is composed
of Alfred Lohmann, president of the
board; Phillip Heineken, general man
ager of the Nord Lloyd Commerzlenrat,
and B. M. Herriman. manager of the
Deutsche Bank. Karl Stapelfeildt, man
ager of the Nord Lloyd, has taken over
the management of the company, we
have brought a most valuable cargo
of dyestuffs to our American friends,
dyestuffs which have been so much
needed six months in America and
which the ruler of the seas has not
allowed he great American Republic
to Import. While England will not al
low anybody the same right on the
ocean, because she rules the waves, we
have, by means of the submarine, com
menced to break this rule.
Boats Go and Come as They Please.
"Great Britain cannot, however, hin
der boats such as ours to go and come
as we please. Our trip, passing Dover,
across the ocean was an uneventful
one. When danger approached we went
below the surface, and here we are
safely in an American port, ready to
return in due course.
"1 am not in a position to give you
details regarding our trip across -the
ocean, in view of our enemies. Our
' boat has a displacement of about 2000
tons and a speed of more than 14 knots.
Needless to say that we are quite un
armed and only a peaceful merchant
man. "Regarding things In Germany, I may
. mention that everybody is convinced of
the full final victory of the German
arms and those of our allies. The facts
of the last 22 months go to prove that
there is no doubt for this. All Poland
and Kurland, a country of the size of
two-thirds of Germany, are since 1'i
months under peaceful rule and the
entire country has been put under the
plow and thousands "of acres will be
serving; for the" next Winter's supply of
foodstuffs. .Rains and warm weather in
April and May have brought a crop in
view of all over Germany, Austria,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, finer
than since a century.
Agriculture Is Flourishing.
"All Serbia, Montenegro and a great
part of Albania are in the same po
sition; Besides Belgium, one-seventh
of France is in German possession and
all in a flourishing agricultural state.
So there really is not the least anxiety
for the British- attempt of trying to
kill by starvation a hundred million
German and Austrian children and
women and noncombatants, the( most
devilish plan ever tried by any nation
in the world.
"Our boats will carry across the At
lantic the mails and save them from
British interruption.
"We trust that the old friendly re
lationshlp with the United States, go
inr back to' the days of Washington,
when It was Prussia who was the first

Captain Describes Voyage.
Captain Koenig's own story of the
Deulschland's voyage across the ocean
was told to newspaper correspondents
soon after he made public his prepared
statement. He laughed at stories of
his being chased far off his course by
enemy vessels and declared that during
the entire trip the vessel traveled sub
merged only about 90 miles.
1 have seen. said the captain,
'statements that we were forced to
go hundreds of miles out of our course
in the Atlantic because of British war
ships. This is not so. Why should we
go out of our course except to sub
merge? That is the simplest and most
effective way to get out of her course.
Besides it is much easier to submerge.
"We came to Hampton Roada by the
straight course from the English Chan
nel. We did not come by way of the
Azores. Altogether, from Helgoland to
Baltimore, we covered 3800 miles. Of
that distance 90 milea were driven un
der the surface of the water.
Throughout the entire trip the offi
cers and crew were In excellent health
and spirits. Of course, when we were
under water for long spells the air got
very stuffy sometimes and there was
some inconvenience, but it was never
serious. The Deutschland is built to
stay under water for four consecutive
days, so, you see, we never reached
anywhere near our submersion limit on
this voyage.
Riding Easier Than In Destroyer.
"The ship is much easier to ride In
than a torpedo-boat destroyer; much
steadier.' Nothing can happen to her
she is so perfectly built. Of course, she
rolls a little at times, but that Is no
hardship. Any nation that can build a
ship like the Deutschland can. do what
we did." - i .
The' German commander talked with
the smiling enthusiasm of a child and
his eyes fairly glittered as he related
the principal incidents of bis remark-
able feat.
There was' little to tell of the trip,"
he continued.,; "We " left Helgoland on
June 23 and steamed on the surface
Intft the North Sea. Before sailing we
conducted trial trips and drills tor the
erew f or ten days or two weeks, hav
ing proceeded from Bremen to our
starting point. I had never been on a
submarine voyage and- the training J
had all was received In the practice
trips on the Deutschland. '.
"ETvery thing went' without Incident
the first day, but on the second day in
the North Sea we were in the zone of
the British cruisers and destroyers.
We sighted their smoke frequently,
but only dived when we thought there
was danger of our being detected. Of
course we were difficult to see because
we were so low and our ship gave out
no smoke. We did submerge several
times in the North Sea, staying under
sometimes two hours and sometimes
less. Every time we came to the sur
face. If all looked well, we.' kept on
going. We saw no British battleships
the North Sea only cruisers and
destroyers or at least what we took to
be British naval easels.-
.Wenof-War Easily Avoided.'"'.
.-"We did, not on the entire trip come
into .close proximjty with any man-of
war. ..ve avoided them all. It was
simple. ...'- . . -"'
"From the' North Sea .we. 'went
straight through the English Chapnel,
which is alive with warships, and on
the night of the fourth day we' sub
merged and remained still all night on
the ground on the bottom t the Chan
nel. There were lots of cruisers near-
two, "we knew and It was very foggy.
So we thought It wise not to take any
chances, and Igave the 'order to sub
merge for the night and until there
was clearer weather. The next morn
tng all -was -well and we proceeded
through the Channel into the Atlantic
Ocean without incident.
"Our trip bad demonstrated that ths
big - merchant submarine , la . practical
ana inai it. nas come to stay, we ex
pect the venture to be a great financial
success. This ship can carry a cargo of
1000 tons and on this trip carried 750
tons ox ayesiuits, valued at i, 000,000
The charges , for -the shipment alone
will pay for the cost of the Deutsch
land, about $500,000. On this trip we
carried no mails, r nor . did we carry
money- or 'securities. Also- we came
without insurance; running entirely at
our own-risk.".

NEW YORK. July 10. Captain Faul
Koenig, of the German merchantman
Deutschland, which arrived in Chesa
peake Bay yesterday and docked at
Baltimore today, this morning made a
formal statement declaring that the
Germans will establish a submarine
trans-Atlantio service between New
York and Germany.
American naval authorities say that
if Germany wishes to engage in this
undertaking there is no good rea
son why the new- ships may not cross
the Atlantic and carry on commerce
between Germany and the .United
States. The new German boats will be
armed, if at all, "for defense only," in
the expectation that they will be
treated by the United States Govern
ment In the same manner as are the
merchant vessels of the allied nations.
Mails and valuable merchandise will
constitute the cargo. -
The new submarines are described
as carrying enough oil to propel them
tOOO miles. There can be no objection
to their taking fuel and supplies at
an American port, as they are strictly
merchant ships.
As indicating the commercial advan
tages to be gained, by carrying even
a small cargo, - the value of German
chemical homatroplne hydro bromide,
worth $2378 a pound, is a commodity
that the Germans will export. It is
more than three times as valuable as
it was two years ago. Atropine, an
other German product, is now worth
$1440 a pound, or about 50 times its
former normal value. There are other
small but valuable articles which could
be included at great profit in the manU
fest of the new submarine "liners."
The New York American, In its Issue
of June , printed" the following edi
torial on the subject: ...
The announcement is made that a German
submersible merchant veel has already left
Cuxhaven for N.w York. Thl. vessnl 1.
the first of a line of submarines which the maK.ing tne voyage.
Germans proposa to operate a merchant: "Well,1 he si
vessels oniy. ipry
paper men, furnished them with details
of his voyage and the construction of
the submarine.
"Before beginning our trip," he said,
'we had several weeks of practice in
our vessel in the Baltic Sea. so that
the members of the crew might thor
oughly familiarize themselves with her.
We left Bremen without any cere
monies. Of course that was necessary,
because the voyage was to be kept
secret. Outside of the owners and the
Admiralty, no one knew where we were
going except Mr. Fee. the American
Consul at Bremen, from whom it was
necessary to obtain our bill of health.
I am sure Mr. Fee kept the secret well.
"When we got to Heligoland we de
cided that it was best to stay there a
while. We could not be absolutely sure
that news of our departure might not
reach the British Admiralty, and we
thought it prudent to tarry and fool
the British ships if they were hunting
especially for us.
"During the time we spent in the
waters of Heligoland we continued our
practice and shifted the ballast and
cargo to trim her properly for the long
voyage.
Fuel aatl Water Left.
"When we left Bremen we had 180
tons of fuel oil aboard and there are
now 85 tons left in the tanks. We had
20 tors of water when we started and
still have 10 left.
"Our voyage proves that a submarine
of the Deutschland type can go any
where In the world. - She has a cruis
ing radius of 13,000 miles."
Captain Koenig was asked to explain
what devices the Deutschland had foT
finding her way under water, and avoid
ing danger.
"We have two," he said. "One'la
the microphone and' the other a sound
ing apparatus. With the microphone
you can hear submarine bell buoys six
miles away and the propellers 'of ships
still farther.. By the tone of the noise
made by the screw of a vessel you can
tell her type. A destroyer's makes a
leud hum, a cruiser's is lower.
"The sounding apparatus can be
worked while we are running sub
merged and is let down through the
bottom of the boat through a tube
equipped with valves. In this sub
marine we can do everything- under the
surface that we can do on it. We can
drop anchor while submerged, cruise
below the surface four days if neces
sary, or He sIIl on the bottom until our
food and water give out. And you
can believe me that we can carry a
large quantity of both;"

LAW ISSUES NOT . DIFFICULT
Allies Show No Intention of Offer
ing Objection.
WASHINGTON. July 10. Federal of
ficials believed tonight that the ques
tion of international law raised by the
arrival of the German super-submarine
Deutschland might be soon cleared
away.
A preliminary report'In the course of
the day from Collector Ryan at Balti
more Indicated that the vessel was
purely a merchant ship, devoid tt any
peculiar status because of the unprece
dented manner ot her trip across tne
'Atlantic. Should this indication be
borne out by the more detailed examin
ation that will be made, officials see no
reason why dlplomatlo complications
should- develop, 'mere was no pros
pect tonight that the allied govern
ments were preparing to protest In the
event that the Deutschland ' held to
be a merchantman. ,
The Navy Department tooay detailed
etn carry, of courss.
enly small and necessarily valuable car
gees, but it Is asy to see how useful they
would be, at that, to the Oermsns.
If the submarine experiment succeeds . a
nice question of marine law at once arises,
for the German government will at once
claim that submarine vessels must be halted
and their character ascertained before they
etn be destroyed, exaetly as we have In
sisted upon the Germans halting and estab
lishing the character of other vessels be
fore destroying them.
There would, be nothlns; left for as to do
but to recognize this contention of Germany;
since It is our own original contention, in
sisted upon tven to menace of force. It is
not likely that England would look upon
this American contention in favor of Ger
man submarine vessels with the same ap
proval -that she gave to the American con
tention adverse to German submarine ves
sels, and we might be in for a serious dis
pute. , .
The submarine has raised some novel
questions of international law, and the set
tlement of them will be one of the hard
nuts which the general conference of tia
tos after the war must crack. .

Captain C. F. Hughes to aid the Balti
more collector In examining the sub
marine. Rumors that objection might be
raised by. Captain Koenig of the
Deutschland or by embassy officials to
a closer Inspection of the submarine on
the ground that she is of a secret type
of construction were not generally
credited by officials, who expect no
serious opposition in their investiga
tion. Such opposition will probably re
sult in the recall of Captain Hughes
and it would then be incumbent on the
German government to offer convincing
evidence of the submarine's peaceful
character.
The British and French embassies
today formally called the State Depart
ment's attention to the arrival of the
Deutschland, and asked that the United
States be satisfied of her character. No
protest was made against entry to the
port of Baltimore or against the dis
charge of the cargo. Interest In the
Deutschland's arrival among diplomats
was keen, but It was said that from
published reports no facts had yet been
found on which to base a protest. The
question of whether the crew and of
ficers of the submarine might be Ger
man reservists aroused some specula
tion, but the allied diplomats appar
ently were far from convinced that thia
would prove a basis for any request for
action.
The feeling tonight among officials,
however, wu that the Federal Gov
ernment must take every precaution to
see that the exact cnaracter of tho
Deutschland is established beyond
doubt. It was for this reason that
Acting Secretary Polk, of the State
Department, asked that a naval officer
be detailed to inspect the submarine.
It was said permission would not bo
given for unloading any o' the cargo,
or shore leave for any of the ubma
rine'a crew, or for transmission of the
