FEARS FOR SAFETY FELT
Ylritish Merchantman Likely to

rine's Movements to Allied
Warships Outside Limit.
BALTIMORE. Md., July 29. The Ger
man submarine sea freighter Deutsch
land, which arrived at this port from
Germany three weeks ago tomorrow
night with a cargo of dyestufts, lay
snuggled In her barricaded berth at
Locust Point tonight, all ready to start
on her perilous homeward voyage.
The tug Thomas F. Timmins, which
met the Deutschland at the "Virginia
Capes and convoyed her to Baltimore,
was close by with steam up.
Officials of the Eastern Forwarding
Company, the submersible's American
agents, adhering to their policy of reti
cence regarding the sailing plans of
the underwater liner, refused to com
ment on the Washington dispatch sent
out late today, concerning the proba
bility of her sailing tomorrow or the
Intimation that protection was desired
for the Deutschland in American
waters.
Second Tug May Be Used.
That they are concerned about the
boat's safety during her run down
Chesapeake Bay seemed to be ind!
cated in a. report, regarded as reliable.
that it is planned to have a second
tug accompany the submarine and the
Timmins as far as the Capes to guard
. against the possibility of "accidents'
cn route. .'
One of the Dcutsehlahd's navigating
officers and several of the crew were
on shore leave tonight with orders, it
was said, to return aboard ship by mid
night. It is understood that the application
for protection was made through the
collector of customs at Baltimore, and
that Captain Koenig, the submarine
commander, desired a coast guard cut
ter or naval vessel to escort him down
Chesapeake Bay and to the three-mile
limit.
Small Craft May Kollow.
Unless steps are taken to prevent it,
the submarine probably will be fol
r lowed out by a fleet of small craft
carrying newspaper correspondents
anil sightseers.
It is said, too, that the Germans
fear some British merchant ship might
BO to sea in the wake of the Deutsch
land. advertising her presence to the
allied cruisers waiting off the Vir
erinia Capes, or even attempting to ram
her as soon as she left American terri
torial waters.
Officials of the State Department held
that while American neutrality must
be fully safeguarded, it would be a
bad precedent for the Government to
convoy or accord any other unusual
attention to a vessel which can be
rated only as a merchantman.
WASHINGTON. July 29. Special pro
tection for the German merchant sub
marine Deutschland when she starts
out of American territorial waters was
asked of the American Government
late today, with the intimation that
the boat would leave Baltimore some
time tomorrow.

misconduct by a minor girl, according
to Earl Rogers, his attorney.
"The Mayor has assured me, said
Mr. Rogers, "that he will never quit

a revival of the Pratt case. He de
clared that his physicians had ordered
him to go away on a trip. He is suf
fering from Brights disease in its most
malignant form.
Attorney Rogers said the Mayor had
told him that the same persons "who

stories about him in an attempt to force
him to resign.
Chief of Police Snively is also re
ported ready to resign, on account of
strike troubles in the city.

rout a crew of men under Road Super

When the road crew neared the Goss

sacrificed. The men engaged in the
work decided that they were needed at
another point in the road district.

GERMANS SCURRY TO PORT
Former Head of British Admiralty
Credits All to Great Amphibian,
AVliich He Styles as Patient, .
Tough, Female Beast.
BY WINSTON CHURCHILL.
Former . First Lord of the British
Admiralty.
(Copyright, 1916 The Tribune Ass'n.)
LONDON, July 22. What kind of foe
is this "Great Amphibian" which, for
the first time in history, Germany has
drawn out against her? Many valiant
enemies has the Prussian army fought
in the last 300 years, on the whole with
a balance of good fortune, but here is
something new altogether.
Never before have the force and sci
ence of Central Europe come into armed
conflict with ' the western island. Far
back along the fading paths of history
crusading armies moved across the salt
water to the fray. The chivalry of
Crecy and the archers of Agincourt,
who disembarked upon the coast of
France; the sea rovers who affronted
the power of Philip II on the Spanish
Main, and the soldiers who withstood
him in the Low Countries; the armies
of William III and the Duke of Marl
borough, humbling- the glory of Louis
XIV; the far-ranging ships and stub
born infantry that sustained a great
King In one century and warred down
a great Emperor in the next all had
one birthplace, all were manifestations
of one peculiar "form of power. ;
Hate and Rase Concentrated.
Now at last Prussia the embodi
ment of all that land energy could give
must join in unrelenting conflict with
the Great, Amphibian. It is no small
proof of the shrewdness of the Prus
sian military instinct that they real
ized at once where the peril lay, and
even while the German armies rolled
forward to the terrific assault on the
French frontier, or drew up to with
stand at heavy odds the hosts of the
Czar, their hate and rage were concen
trated upon the unorganized, black-
coated, commerce-absorbed, politics
loving state which could scarcely at the
outset put 150,000 men in the field.
Berlin mobs insulting with vulgar
fury the departing British Ambassador
expressed the same well-founded appre
hension as the discerning pen and
venomous verse of Lissauer. Let us
always labor to deserve these sincere
and spontaneous tributes.
The Great Amphibian is a female
beast; not clever, but very tough;
short-sighted, but very patient; slow
and clumsy, but very strong and fierce
strong as her homes in the broad
seas. You cannot voyage upon them
without seeing her dorsal fins cutting
the blue water, and all over the world
she has deposited her younc. She
moves at all times freely about broad
and narrow waters, and when minded
bars their passage to all others.
Strength Waxes While Kiahting;.
If need he, she can crawl or even
dart ashore first a scaly arm, with
sharp claws; then, if time and circum
stances warrant, a head, with gleaming
teeth, and shoulders that grow broad
er and broader. Then she can draw

GUARDS NOT LIABLE
TO FOREIGN DUTY
AUTHORITY GIVEN PRESIDENT
NOT EXERCISEO YET.
State Troops,, However, Are Under
Federal Control and Have Privi
lege as Regulars.
WASHINGTON. July 29. Mooted
questions about the status of state
troops called into the Federal service
for the Mexican emergency are decided
in an exhaustive opinion given Secre
tary Baker today by Brigadier-General
Crowder. Judge-Advocate-General of
the Army. General Crowder holds that
the state soldiers are not subject to
duty outside of the United States un
less and until they are formally drafted
by order of the President: that they
are under control of the Federal Gov
ernment and not of their respective
state Governors, and that they are en
titled to the same pensions and prlvl
leges as regulars.
While Congress by Joint resolution
has conferred on the President author
ity to draft the militia and National
Guard in his discretion, the General
points out that the President has not
exercised that authority. In the mean
time, he says, the status of the state
troops "is that of militia called into
the service of the United States for one
of the purposes specified in the Con-
stitution. that is to protect the United
States from invasion.
