TWO VALUABLE CARGO ON OEUTSCHLAND Officials Will Make Certain Neutrality is Not Violated by the Vessel WASHINGTON ORDERS CLOSE INSPECTION Jewels and Securities May Be Part of Deutschland's $10,00 0,000 Cargo. New London, Conn.?Ten million dollars' worth ol dyestutis and drugs and it was said, "possibly" stocks and precious stones, con.prise the cargo of the German submarine merchantman Deutschland, according to a statement tonight by Capt. Paul Kocnig, commander of the craft. The Deutschland is in this port after having ssuceeded in making a second voyage from a German port to the American coast despite the watchfulness of the British war vessels. First of the undersea merchantmen by the use of which Germany hopes to keep open a trade route with the United States, the Deutschland, according to her captain, is at present the only vessel of that fleet. The Bremen, which started a voyage from the city after which she was named on August 2(5, he said, has been given up as lost. He thought she "must have struck a mine," but, added, "she has not fallen a victim | to the blockade. 1 am sure of that." j The Amerika, which some reports i have indicated was a merchant sub- i marine captured by the British, never existed, Capt. Koenig asserted. Must Work Alone. "I must keep up this traffic alone for the present, that is the Deutschland must," he added. "In a fortnight I shall be gone. I hope to return before the end of the year." It was possible, the navigator stated, that other merchant submarines would be built by that time. In a summary of his voyage, just completed, Capt. Koenig, who returned with decorations from German royalty as marks of recognition of his previous voyage, said this was "a quiet trip." Recital of its incidents, however, developed matters of lively interest. I The Deutschland did not lie on the ^ m _ o * * 11 ocean noor tnis time as in tne voyage which ended at Baltimore last July The submarine instead varied the monotony of its sailing under water or on the surface with occasional | dodges beneath vessels identified as warships of belligerent nationality, or thought to be. Seven times, Capt. j Koenig said, he maneuvered in this ' way. The last time was off Nantucket yesterday when he sighted "a four funneled steamer" and dived beneath her. "The storms gave us more trouble than this socalled block ade," he continued, .] < * Struck by Tug. Leaving Bremen on October 1 the Deutschland had moved only a short distance out of the harbor when she came in collision with a tug which "was so foolish as to run into us," said Capt. Koenig. The Deutschland was forced to return for repairs. The v?!\ture was began again on October 10 and the engines after being started on that day were not stopped until the Deutschland came into the slip prepared for her here. "A heavy southwest gaie was or. when we went through the North sea. crossing between Srot.lnnd and the Orkney Islands in the Fair channel," said the captain. "I took the shortest course on the chart for New London. "The blockading ships were many but we passed them, or rather went under them. The storm followed us and we were tossed many hours. So severe wtus the storm that at times the submarine made only a mile an hour headway. In all she was delayed three clays and fuel was consumed at a rate far in excess of normal. The Deutschland was still supplied for nearly 30 days when she came in." During the trip of 4,500 miles, the Deutschland traveled under water less than 100 miles, Capt. Koenig said. "They ca!! it a blockade. You can judge haw much it blocks," the skipper exclaimed.

Among the conveniences needed by the business farmer is a roll-top desk in which unfinished work may be left and the desk closed. With the old fashioned hinged lid desk all work had to be cleared away before the desk could be closed. The drawers of such a desk should be utilized for filing away farm letters, catalogs, etc. Some desks are even provided with a small iron fireproof safe in one side of the lower compartments for the safety of valuable papers which sometimes must be kept temoprarily on the farm. Such a desk is always kept in stock by the average local dealer. Life Insurant Fire Insurance, Health & Accident Insurance, Guardian Bonds. Writes Deeds, Mortgage W. Percy H FERTILIZER, CO" TON P.
