BERLIN, Aug 16—The German

Sixteen days were required for
the Deutschland to cross the Atlan

of that time she spent In dodging
hostile warships. Actually she could
have made the voyage In much
shorter time.
The fact that 14 days have elapsed
and she has not been heard from In
dicates that she has been compelled
to take a roundabout course on tha

The 600 district chairmen of the
big four brotherhoods representing
the 400,000 trainmen today accept

at their meeting here, however, and

retary von Jagow today flatly de

signs on the Danish West Indies, in
commenting on English reports that
It was fear that Germany would buv
the Islands as the first step In an
assault on the Monroe doctrine that
inspired the United States to nego

foreign secretary. "But of one thing
I am absolutely certain, that is that
Germany Is antagonistic to nobody
and has no Intention of disturbing
the sovereign rights of any power
In that part of the world."
