Captain Koenig Knows. That Eigh Warships of the Entente Allies Ar Waiting for Him at the Edge of th Three Mile Limit. Balftimore.-On the second anniver sary of Germany's declaration of wa against Russia, the German submairini merchantman Deutschland set ou from Baltimore on a return voyage t< Germany with a declaration of confl dence from her commander, Captai Paul Koenig, that he would take he home in spite of the heavy odds sh< would face when' the three-mile limi in the Atlantic is reached. The submersible was towed ouit 0 the slip where she was berthed 23 day) ago. After getting into midstrean the towline of the tug Thomas F. Tim mins was cast off and the Deutschlan< proceeded down the Patapsco Rive under her own power. The Timmin went to one side, the coast guard cui ter Wissahickon to the other, and th harbor police boat Lannan brought ui the rear to prevent undue crowdin by the small fiet of launches. Captain Koenig and his crew of 2 men .put to sea with the knowledg that a man hurried to a telephon with a message to agents for the Er tent Allies that the Deutschland ha started. They knew how long he ha watched at a nearby pier, day an night, but the little captain went ou of Baltimore harbor smiling and wa, ing his cap. His last words in th harbor were of praise for America an for his treatment here by Baltimor customs authorities. To Guy Steelc surveyor of customs, he said: "We came here dubious about oi reception. We go back certain the the friendliest of feeling exists I America for Germany. You have bee more than courteous and the Fathe land will not forget it." Captain Koenig knows that ei warships of the Entente Allies ar waiting for him at the edge of th three-mile limit, spread out in a radiu of five miles. "We shall have to pass unsee within that radius in order to escape, he said. "We shall have to make the passage under conditions not entirel advantageous to us. With the wate at that point 150 feet dleep it would b easier. We could submerge deepl enough to pass underneatih the wa: ships. But the water there is not 15 feet deep. We shall, therefore hay to pass between the warships." $540,000 FLOOD FUND FOR SOUTH VOTED iN CONGRES: Washington.--By unanimous vot the Senate passed a joint resolutlo: appropriating $540,000 for relief I: flooded districts of North Caroline South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ale bama and Mississippi which was rt ported by Senator Overman.

"It is the same sort of appeal tha we are hearing today from the othe sled of the water," said Senator Sine mons, who referred to conditions la Belgium and Poland. "The territor affected is nearly a third of Nort) Carolina. The number of persons al feeted is great. The damage is tre mendous. The people are mostly fat mers--and small farmers.

HINSCH TELLS OF THE DEPARTURE ON THE SUBMA RINE DEUTSCHLAND. SAFELY AT SEA ON HER WAY Captain Who Directed Departure Says Vessel Went Under the Water When Only a Mile Inside The Three-Mile Limit. Norfolk, Va.-So far as is known here the Deutschland is safely at sea on her way to Bremen after success. fully running through the patrol of Allied cruisers off the Virginia caipes. It is not believed the Deutschland experienced the slightest difficulty in evading the cruisers. Captain Hinsch, of the war-bound German liner Nec. kar, who directed the departure of tahe submarine said that the underwater freighter passed unobserved within one hundred yards of a United States destroyer on neutrality duty about a mile off the capes. "When we came to a stop at a point in the bay I shall not disclose because we probably shall have to use the plaoce again," said Oaptain Hinselh, "the pilot aboard the submarine was taken off to the Thomas F. Timmons, our tug. It was then about 5 o'clock in the morning. The submarine was submer'ed, so that her machinery and pumps could be tested and the cargo be trimmed, should it be necessary. She went down in a deep hole in the bay to a depth of 135 feet remaining there for some time. "When she came to the surface again, Captain Koenig came up 'through the conning towers and said that everything was working per fectly. That pleased us, I can tell you. We had thought we might have to rearrange some things, after it was seen how the Deut'schland worked In salt water. The tests in the dock at Daltimore were made in fesh water, you know. "The trial completed we started off down the bay and when no traffic was in sight the Deutschland took another dive while running. She went down untdl only a few inches of her per scope was showing above the water. Then I dropped behind to see ait what distance the wake of the Deutschland or -the foam crest of the periscope could be seen. About 400 yards with glasses I could not see a thing. "The tests having proved that the Detuschland was in perfect condition we wont into a place to hide for a t while. Any one would have had great difficulty in finding us. "In the afternoon we started for 'the capes and you know how the bet ter part of the trip was made. The destroyer was passed in the dark. As soon as the men on the bridge sight r ed the lights of the Timmins they , watched us closely and looked all n aonfor the submarine which Dass ed them at a distance of only a hun 'dred yards. At the time the submna nine was submerged until her decks twere awash." etROGER CASEMENT MET HIS a DEATH ON GALLOWS BRAVELY. n Last Utterance Was, "I Die For My Country." t London-With only two chaplains and minor officials of the Government r looking on, Roger Casement, once a knighted for his services to the Crown while a British Consul, was hanged .as a traitor in the Pentonville jail D here.
