FAMOUS SUH ARRIVES
NEW LONDON’. Nov. 1.—The world famous sub- (
marine Deutschland arrived here early this morning and ^
Captain Koenig, who is again in command, says that the .
voyage was uneventful. He left Bremen on Octolier 101
with a crew of twenty-live hut he made a start from there j
on October 1 and had to return to have repairs made for
injuries received by a collision. Quarantine regulations
were waived by the authorities here and the Deiitsciiiunu
docked today at the Eastern forwarding "half "licit it
will unload a large cargo which is chiefly composed ol
chemicals. On the first trip the Deutschland is said to
have cleared three million dollars protits for the company >
ami it is said that the cargo this time is even more vatu- t
able. The entry of tile great undersea vessel was so quiet t
only a few persons were aware tnat she had come .it all.
0:K. made a clearance at Bremen for Baltimore or any
Atlantic port of the United tSates and it is stated that all
German submarines henceforth will make New London
or Newport and will not enter Hampton Roads for fear
of nets. At the time this dispatch was sent ( aptain,
Koenig itad made no oiiicial statement to the press. Re
quests were made to him for information regat ding the
Bremen but no answer to any question was forthcoming. ,
DEUTSCHLAND CREW THE SAME ’
NEW LONDON, Nov. 1.—The Deutschland has the }
same crew as she had on the first tirp with the exception ,
of two. McGovern, the collector of the port of Bridgeport, ,
received the submarines manifesto from t aptain Koenig ,
today and it shows a million dollars worth of drugs and
medicines. The plan is to unload as speedily as possible
and to take back an equal cargo of rubber and nickel. The
Deutschland also carried diplomatic mail for Ambassador!
Bernstorlf and some papers and letters which could not
lie trusted to the tender mercies of the British censor. ■
The German embassy has received notification from the.
United States administration that the laws of neutrality
will he strictly enforced when the Deutschland is ready to
leave and hostile vessels will he required to observe all the
rules of international warfare.
SUB POLICY UNCHANGED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.—No politics will he permit-j
ted to interfere with the submarine policy of the adminis-i
tration, stated Secretary Lansing today, and the stibmat-j
ine policy enunciated previously remains unchanged. 1 he
campaign will not affect it, he said, by way of emphasis
A speedy investigation into the sinking of the Marina will
be carried out.
STORY OF SUB VOYAGE
NEW LONDON. Nov. 1. — Chief Officer F. Rapoldj
told the story of the voyage ot the Deutschland todav to,
the press men. Fierce storms nearly wrecked the vessel
several times and the crew at periods were so helplessfiom j
sea-sickness that the danger was increased. After leav
ing port they encountered a big fleet ot British battleships,
and thev submerged and moved along underneath the v ei v |
largest of the warships without being observed. The ef-|
fort caused much delay, however, and most of the time the
submarine had to remain suomerged to avoid shipvvieck.
Calm weather came four days ago and the vessel was ex-,
amined and found to have been badly damaged. At mid
night on Teusday they reached the New England coast
and steamed full speed for New London which the chief j
officer describes as an ideal place to enter or leave. A j
little trouble came this afternoon when the l nited States
authorities demanded the dismantlement of the Deutsch
land wireless and Captain Hinch of the company owning
the submarine refused. The demand was made on the;
ground that the wireless was a breach of neutrality. j
■
may carry mails
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The postofr.ee department!
is prepared to accept the proposal of the German ambas-j
sador that the mails from Germany to the U. S. be trans
ported in merchant submarines. C aptain Koenig official-,
ly reported his arrival this afternoon and says he carries
a packet of mail for Rernstorff. Or. George Ahiens, at
tache to the German embassy, will go to New London to
visit the submarine and the ambassador will go next week, i
AMERICANS LOST ON MARINA
LONGBRANCH, Nov. 1.—President Wilson has been
motticially informed that six Americans were lost when
he steamer Marina was sunk off the coast ol Ireland and
le has communicated the fact to Secretary ol State Bail
ing with the request that the investigation be hastened.
,a ising replied by saying that a request for information
las been sent to Germany and that the statement of the
mperial government is now being awaited.
SURVIVORS IN DUBLIN
DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 1—Twenty-eight American
survivors of the Marina have arrived here and they say
hat the ship was certainly sunk without warning. Two
orpedoes were fired, they sa\, and the submuiine watch*
■d the lifeboats in the water for half an hour without of
ering assistance. Afterwards the crew were adrift in
he boats for thirty hours in a rough sea. The Marina
sank off the Skellig rocks at 1 or » o’clock on Saturda;
norning.
MORE ABOUT MARINA
LONDON, Nov. 1.—The American consul at Queens
own, Frost, has learned that six Americans were killed
m t'ne ship Marina and fifty-one were saved. His infor
mation, gained from the survivors, is that a terrinc ex
plosion lirst occurred on the starboard and that a second
orpedo struck the bow. lhe ship sank in two paits and
'aptain Brown and fifty of the crew are believed to have
>een lost.
OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The officials are still opti
nistic regarding the result of the sinking oi the Mai ina
is they believe it possible the vessel might have uttempted
light when her sinking would have been justified under
international law. The German government is to ipe ask
'd to explain both the sinking of the Marina and the Ro
.vanmore which has also been sunk ofl the Irish coast, and
he state department mentions incidentally that it is not
. et aware whether or not the commander of the submar
ine that sank the Sussex has been punished although Ger
many promised punishment. It is evident that another
serious hitch has come in the relations between the 1 nit
,h1 States and Germany and will probably exercise a pow
erful influence at least on the presidential election.

Pleasure over that benefit may

This plan should work both ways,
