Haul Koenig, master of the Herman
submarine liner steamer Deutschland

farther reaching effect than the men*
feat of crossing the Atlantic could pos
sibly occassion. The Captain declares
that the crossing of the ocean is prac
tically nothing for a vessel of the
Deutschland type. The great feature of
the voyage*. Koenig declares is that by
accomplishing Mie journey the Deutsch

boasted blockade of Germany is n<»
blockade at all within the meaning of
the international law. Though not In

basis for a protest by Germany to the

of a complete blockade as < xen.m* for
restricting traffic with Germany. The
commander also asserted that the Ger
man government intends to establish
regular submarine traffic with the Un
ited States by means of other ships
