Undersea ('raft Passed Blockading Sqiuadrons and Steered ('lear of Floating Mines. Baltimore, Mid., July 9.-The world's first submarine merchantman, the German underwater liner )eutsch land, anchored below Baltimore to night after coming safely across the Atlantic, passing the allied blockad ing squadrons and eluding enemy cruisers watching for her off the American coast. She carries mail and a cargo of 750 tons of costly chemi cals and dyestuLts and is to carry back home a similar amount of nickel and crude rubber sorely needed. by the German army, Sixteen lays out from B remer haven to lBaltimore, the su bmarine reached the Virginia capes at 1:15 o'clock this morning, passing in on the surface covered by darkness which selled over the entrance of the bay with the setting of the moon. Once inside the visitor threw caution aside and began shrieking his siren, signaling a pilot and at the same time attracting the attention of the tug 1'homas F. 'i'Imnmins which had been waiting in the lower bay for nearly two weeks to greet the Deutschland and convoy her into port. Three hours later the big sub marine started up the bay with the German merchant flag flying under her own power, piloted by Capt. Fred erick D. Cocke of the Virginia Pilot's association and convoyed by the Tim mins. She was making more than 12 knots an hour and could have docked in Baltimore tonight, but arrange ments had been made for receiving her with formal ceremonies tomor row and her captain was ordered to wait in the lower barbor. He and his crew of 29 men remained aboard their crat't. ,Sent No Notice. Regarding his vessel as a mer chantman subject to no unusual re strictions, the skipper, whose name is said to be Capt. Kairig, went up to Chesapeake without waiting to notify local customs and quarantine ollicers of his presence. lie was live hours away before Norman lamilton, col lector of Norfolk-Neivport News, heard the news and started on his trail aboard the coast guard cutter Onondaga. At last reports tonight the cutter had not approached the submarine, and it is understood that she merely was ordered out to keep tihe strange craft under surveillance as a neutrality precaution. Quaran tIne and port regulations will be coo Uille'd w ithi when t he vessel mioves upI to her dock tomorrow.

NT SUBMARINE EAN TO AMERICA In German qtuarters here the news of the suibmarine's arrival was hailed With th le keenest del ight. T1hose who knew of (.I coiing, had been con er:lin g ai'rrm for two or three days, as she was lue to arrive about the the middle of last week. I t is understood that she traveled no're than 1,000 miles, going some 300 miles out of her course to avoid eneily :,hips. iBrand New ('4rrier...... ..

The novel project. was conceIved about nine months ago, Mir. Milken said, by F. A. Lohmann, head of a Iireiien exporting and in mportIng11 concern, Wlko organized the Ocean Navigation company. Mlr. liohmanin is the son of a former director g(n oral of tlie North Germian Lloyd Steamshiip coipany and has import ani (ernan coi miercial interests as sociated with him. The undersea liner, ir. Iiilken un derstanuds, is about 315 feet long and 30 feet beam and is propelled by two great i)einel oil engines. She is as large if not larger than any of the German naval submarines. As to de tails of her construction, Mr. Iilken sa-.. ' ._ lacking in Int'ormation. "Mlost of the information that was sent to me," he said, "is probably carefully tucked away In a pigeon hole of the British admiralty ofice, but I don't care now. The .Deutsch land is..here nevertheless." Mr! iilken is an American and his firm has been in business here oper ating ships under the American flag since 1824. Carl A. Luederitz, the German con sul, is a member of the firm. When the )eutschland will return, or whether it is planned to have her make regular trans-Atlantic trips, Mr. Ililken refused to discuss. Anxious to Trade. "This project was conceived," lie said, "by German commercial interests who wanted to reopen trade with the United States. It is a purely com mercial proposition and that is all there is to it.' If present plans are carried out, the public will not be allowed to inspect the undersea wonder, nor will any body except tie federal atlhorities be l allowed te hoard her. The pier of the Eastern Forwarding con);Ianiy was boarded , up today to shut out the view of the curious and the Schumacher firm arranged to sir roun d the pier tomorrow morning withi a cordon of police.
