Baltimore, Md.— On the second an

war againat Russia, the German sub
marine merchantman Deutschland set
out^from Baltimore on a return voyage
to Germany with a declaration o f con
fidence from her commander. Captain
Paul Koenig, that he would take her

would”fac*Jw hen J the J three-mile lim it
in thejAtlsntic ocean is reached.
The submersible was towed out o f
the slip where she was berthed 23 days
ago, at 5:40 o'clock Tuesday after
noon.
A fter getting into midstream the
tow line o f the tug Timmins was cast
off and the Deutschland proceeded
down the river under her own power.
The Timmins went to one side, the
coast guard cutter Wisaahickon to the
other and the harbor police boat l<an-
nan brought up the rear to prevent un
due crowding by the small fleet o f
launches that followed.
Capatin Koenig and his crew o f 27
men embarked with the knowledge
that a man hurried to a telephone with
a message to agents for the entente al
lies that the Deutschland had started.
They knew how long he had watched
at the end o f a nearby pier, day and
night, but the little captain went out
o f Baltimore harbor smiling and wav
ing his cap.
His last words in the harbor were o f
praise for Ameirca and for his treat
ment here by Baltimore customs au
thorities. To Guy Steele, surveyor of
customs, he said: " W e came here du

courteous and the fatherland w ill not

Captain Koenig knows that eight
warships o f the entente allies are
waiting for him at the edge o f the
three-mile limit, spread out in a radius
o f five miles.
“ Wo shall have to pass unseen with
in that radius in order to escape,’ ’ he
said. “ We shall have to make that
passage under conditions not entirely
advantageous. W ere the water at that
point 150 feet deep it would be easier.
We could submerge deeply enough to
pass underneath the warships.
But
the water there is not 150 feet deep.
We Bhall, therefore, have to pass be
tween the warships.”
There was a determined look on the
captain’s face as he expressed confi
dence that he would get through.
