Sir Edward Grey answered the American president's appeal to all bel ligerent nations to establish an under standing about relief work in Poland, and issued a declaration which is no more than an attempt to include the territories occupied by Germany and Austria-Hungary into the system of Germany's starvation, proclaimed by tnj British government, against all in ternational law, the statement as serted.

It was learned from authoritative sources that the Deutschland will re main until the Rremen lias re-ported. Baltimore. Md.. July C9. rf. p.) Fear of spies had grown to an ob session with certain members of th German freighter submar tie Deutsch land's crew today. With two arTHl tional British ships in the harbor for cargo today and the Britisher Ard gryfe making no move to leave, the Deutschland watchers developed an unusual nervousness. Even trivial things worried them. An expedition from tltf" Timmlns made a hurried trip to the long pri vate pier to which press tugs are tied, after discovering that a private telephone line had been installed there. The pressmen saw to it that no step wao made to remove the wires, for they knew that German In fluence had been operating along the waterfront for several days to clear away newspapermen and prevent them obtaining boats. The time for the Deutschland to depart still is an unsolved -apparently at. unsolvable mystery. The talk is that she is going out within a few days, but the truth is not in the ru mor mongers that swarm the water front. Indications with the Deutschland promoters are that they are not un duly alarmed about the fate of the Deutsehland's sistership, the Bremen, though they will be if she does not appear in the next few days.

Neutrality Was Violated. "The court's conclusion," the deris ion saysj.'ls that the manner of bringingwrthe "Appam Into the waters of the v'nited Slates as well as her appearance in these waters, const! tutes a violation of the neutrality of the United Ptates; that she came In without bidding or permission; that she is here in violation of the law; that she Is unable to leave for lack of a crew, which she cannot pro vide or augment without further vlo latlon of neutrality; further, that in her present condition she is without a lawful right to be and remain in these waters; that she, as between her captors and owners to all prac tical intents and purposes, must be treateil as abandoned and stranded upon our shores; and that her own ers are entitled to restitution of their property, which this court should award, irrespective of the prize court proceed! 1 gs of the court of the Itn oerlal government of the German empire and it will be so restored."
