did not carry guns, was manned
by a merchant crew, carried a cargo
1 and was not a warship.
No Opposition Expected.
s
A written report is expected later.
Officials said today they had no rear
son to believe a special examination of
^ the Deutschland would be opposed and
that as the submarine is a new ship
in merchant trade the United States
55 must be wholly satisfied that she is
0 what she professes to be and not *a
- warship.
If objections are raised that the
t Deutschland is a secret type, and nothing
r but a superficial examination can be alf
lowed, the State Department is expected
e to insist on a thorough examination, as
1 has been done in the case of steamships.
e The fact that boarding officers found
? the German merchant submarine Deutsche
land wholly unarmed goes far toward
- simplifying any question as to her status
! as a merchant ship in American waters.
Officials realize, however, that the British
and French embassies, while interested
little in what the Deutschland has brought
over, are concerned over the cargo of rubber
and nickel she proposes to carry back
to Germany and expect that nothing will
be left undone by Germany's enemies to
prevent or hinder her clearance.
Factors to Be Established.
I Although the fact that the submersible
1 is unarmed is of first importance, such
factors as the composition of her crew
and her actual ownership will have to be
.. established to determine whether the
t submarine could be classed as a naval
auxiliary.
Naval officers, while attracted by the
great size of the submarine and her
long voyage, consider the fact that she
8 successfully ran the allied blockade
r attracts them most. Some of them
r pointed out that if a successful means
of running a blockade had been per"
fected, one of the most potent meas
t ures of warfare had become a thing
t of the past.
Acting Secretary Polk said that, for
p the time being, at least, details of inspection
of the submarine were within
- the jurisdiction of the Treasury De.
partment, aided possibly by the Navy
r Department.
1 Reports that the submarine is un
armed, Mr. Polk added, indicated that
s the State Department's position would
t. be much simplified.
Not a single gun of any description
r other than small arms was found on
the Deutschland, according to the report
Collector of the Port Ryan telephoned
to the Treasury Department.
The inspection was made by the aurs
veyor of the port, Guy Steele, and
d Deputy Inspector Wynde.
The customs officials are inclined to
accept the status of the Deutschland
* as that of a merchantman. Her ship's
it papers will determine that to the satise
faction of that branch of the service, in
:t combination with the inspection of the
- cargo given. It is understood in Washington
that the inspection was thorns
ough.
n \
* To Make Separate Investigation.
The State Department, with the aid
o of the Navy Department, will make an
l* independent investigation. There are
it many problems that may be injected
? into the situation that are riot a matter
of concern to the customs officials,
e but which may have a diplomatic significance.
? As the craft is a new type for ln1(
elusion in the status of merchantmen,
some question may arise on that score.
The customs service is not apt to question
the merchantman status of the
Deutschland on the score of a differa
ence in construction, as such status
does not depend upon type of construction,
but nature of cargo and armamont.
The State Department undoubtedly
e will desire to know the status of the
.1 officers of the big U-boat in regard to
n their affiliation with the regular navy
of Germany. Undoubtedly, they are at
least attached to the naval reserve of
Germany?as are all officers of the German
merchant marine. If they are
officers of the regular army?should
e they be on leave?it is doubtful If any
f diplomatic objection to their services
n in officering the Deutschland would
- hold good.

s As purely a commercial ship, she
r would be as free to enter and leave
American ports as any other, and this

* the novel manner of her coming nor
the fact that the ingenuity and daring:
of the German admiralty had been
able to get a ship through the allied
8 blockade If she should venture to
return to Germany the submarine
would enjoy protection of the United
States within the three-mile limit.
If she should fall a prey to hostile
warships on the high seas, the concern
of this government, in its stand for the
, safety of ^peaceful commercial ships,
would be governed entirely by the conduct.

THE ALLIED DRIVE
LESSONS LEARNEE
OF BATTLE ALC
LONDON, July 10.?The correspondent t
of the London Times at the press camp, i
British army in France, sends the fol- c
lowing- review of the week's battle on c
the Somme front: i
"The chief lessons of the week's battle
are, first, the immense value for defense J
of machine guns; second, the pre-eminent i
importance in attack of unlimited artil- .
lery of the heaviest possible caliber. Artil- 1
lery is, of course, equally important to j
the defense. i
"At some points on the northern front I
where the enemy has massed an enormous
weight of guns he was able to conduct
a double barrage fire, one aimed at
our front line trenches and the other 1
falling some distance behind. This lat- '
ter opened at the moment of our advance
and was, perhaps, as formidable
even as the machine gun and rifle fire
through which our men had to go.
Germans Use New Shrapnel.
"In the double barrage, which was the
enemy's favorite device, he used both
high explosives and shrapnel. The
upon that point. It is conceivable that r
if it should appear that the ship is
owned and operated by the German
government that fact might cause of- r
ficials to regard her as not partaking f
of the character of a merchant ship,
but rather- that of a naval auxiliary.
It already has been established that i
if any question arises as to the exact ,
character of a ship due time may be ]
taken by the port officials to deter- j
mine it, and this is particularly true j
if recourse to the courts become nec- \
essary. 1
It is certain that allied cruisers, ]
which have been lying outside of the
Virginian capes for many months, have
done everything possible to prevent her >
entrance. The embassies here will allow
no opportunity to pass to hinder or j
prevent the departure of the Deutsch- ,
land, and it is likely that they will seek
legal grounds for detaining her. Close ,
scrutiny will be made of the location of |
the guns on the submarine, if she car- ,
ries any, and objection may be expected |
if they are capable of being aimed for- j
ward and thus used to pursue a merchant
ship.
| HOUSE TALKS DEUTSCHLAND.
Raises Questions of Tariff, Blockade
and Battleship Destruction.
The Deutschland's arrival was referred
to in the House today during
debate on the revenue bill. Representative
Hill of Connecticut, republican.
urging higher rates on dyestuffs,
told the House that the arrival of the
submarine marks a significant step in
the world's history. He said it showed
that the mastery of the seas lay equally
with the small nations and the great
ones. He declared that it was a renewed
attempt on the part of Germany
to control the dyestuff supply of the
world and to tighten her monopoly '
and strangle hold on other nations. ]
Representative Fess of Ohio, repub- ,
lican, asked if the submarine's arrival
did not raise the question of effective- 1
ness of the blockade by the allied i
powers. Mr. Hill replied that it did, and j
that it raised the question whether to ,
continue construction of battleships
costing $20,000,000 or to put the same
money into a number of submarines 1
that could go anywhere in the world. i

"As for machine guns, one is tempted

proportion of our losses due to rifle
fire will be found very small. The
greatest factor has been machine guns

was the massing of artillery and hidden

Hope for Law Soon.
Expressions of gratification that the
"fake auction" bill has been reported to
the House and expressions of hope that it
may soon be enacted into law were to be
heard from many of Washington's business
men today. With this bill enacted
into a law and the law against false and
misleading advertising in the District, it
is believed that some of the greatest evils
in the city today may be remedied.
Efforts are to be made to enforce all
possible laws in such a manner that "flyby-night"
merchants and others who injure
the legitimate business interests of
Washington by their fraudulent methods
will find Washington an "unhealthful"
place for them to remain.
Joseph A. Berberich, chairman of the
citizens' vigilance committee, which has
:he leadership in the matter of bringing
false advertisements to th? attention of
the proper officials, is at present out of
the city. His committee, however, is ready
to do anything in its power to assist in
suppressing fake auctions, sales which are
untruthfully termed "selling out" or "fire"
Bales for the purpose of deceiving the public.
Merchants' Attitude in Statement.
Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the
Retail Merchants' Association as well
a.s secretary of the vigilance committee,
today issued the following statement
as to the attitude of the merchants'
association toward the auction
bill, which has been introduced in Congress
bv Renresentatlve Johnson.
"The Retail Merchants' Association is
more than gratified at the action taken
by Representative Johnson on the fake
auction bill now before Congress. It
is one of the three bils which the Retail
Merchants' Association has presented
to Congress through Representative
Johnson. The first was the fake
Advertising bill, now a law; the second
was the bad check bill, and now the fake
auction bill.
"TVi, Pal a II Mprrhant*' A acnr-iallnn
in very much pleased with the progress
of the bill and is very anxious to see
it made a law during this session of
Congress. Nothing is more needed in
the District than such a law, because
nothing is hurting legitimate business
more than fake auctions.

Government in Handling
Naturalization Problem.
The opening cession of the Citizenship
Congress, a conference meeting
hers during the current week under the
auspices of the bureau of naturalization
of ths Department of Labor, was
held this morning at the Wilson Normal
School, 11th and Harvard streets northwest.
Delegates representing the 650 cities
and forty-four states in the Union
which are co-operating with the bureau
of naturalization through its public
schools in the work of educating aliens
who desire to take out naturalization
papers were welcomed to the congress
by a series of speeches made by men
prominently connected with District
and governmental affairs.
Among the speakers of the morning
were Commissioner Newman, Louis F.
Post, assistant secretary of labor; Robert
S. Coleman, chief naturalization
examiner, of St. Paul, Minn.; Raymond
F. Crist, deputy commissioner of the
bureau of naturalization; Commissioner
Campbell of the bureau of naturalization
and Clarence B. Miller, representative
in Congress.
Main Purposes of Congress.
The two main purposes of the congress
were outlined by Deputy Commissioner
Crist, who called the meeting
to order, as being to consider the
accomplishments of the past year in
the work which has been done toward
preparing aliens to become citizens of
the United States and making plans
for the bringing out of a text book
for these candidates for citizenship.
The deputy commissioner voiced the
appreciation of his bureau for the
manner in which the public schools of
the country are co-operating with the
federal government toward the end in
view.
District Commissioner Newman was
then introduced and turned over the
metaphorical keys of the city to the
delegates in his welcoming address.
"I think that this movement accu- i
rately interprets the new idea of the
purposes of the United States govern- i
ment," said Mr. Newman, "for it embodies
the utilization of the machinery ^

i The Commissioner closed his address
i by welcoming the delegates to Washington
and wishing them success is
their enterprise.
Work of D. C. Schools.
A second address of welcome was
made by Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent
of public schools. He described
the work of those who seek to become
good citizens of the United States
in the Washington night schools. Mr.
Thurston stated that an average of
about 600 a year of such pupils are at
present engaged in learning English
and the principles or the government. 01
the United States in Washington
schools.
?He stated that the whole school system
hopes to work hand in hand with
the government in the purpose indicated
by the conference.
The difficulties of getting at people
who need the help of such instruction
and the various methods employed at
the present time toward this end were
outlined by Supt. Thurston, who clor-d
his address with & plea for consideration
of this problem by the conference.
The relationship of the Department of
Labor to the bureau of naturalisation
and to the citisenship congress was
discussed by the assistant secretary of
labor. Outlining the creation of the Department
of Labor, he stated that the
elementary function is to foster and
promote the welfare of wage earners of
the United States, and proceeded to
show how the purposes of the congress
interlock with this function.
Guards Citizenship Standard.
"The bureau of naturalization," said
Mr. Post, "is the only governmental
agency charged with the responsibility
of keeping the citizenship of the United
States up to a high standard. The work
of the bureau involves rendering invaluable
assistance to the courts which
carry on the actual act of naturalization.
One of its duties is to see that
the courts shall not improvidently admit
candidates, and another is to see
that when candidates appear before
the courts they are prepared to take
on the duties of citizenship. It is this
latter function with which this conference
is primarily concerned."
Americanism was the subject upon
which the assistant secretary of labor

will be made by men prominently
connected with the problems
confronting the congress, round table
conferences will be held, at which
plans will be formulated for a definite
program for the future.

IM REPORTED
ON WOBORDER
Second Warning Given to
, State Department by Mexican
Ambassador-Designate.
second warning that Villa bandits
are headed for the Big: Bend district of
Texas was given to the State Department
today by Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassador-designate.
He told acting Secretary Polk his
government had given him definite information
that the bandits were moving
northward toward Boquillas, Tex.,
and promised co-operation of Carranza
forces with the United States border
patrol.
Number of Bandits Not Known.
Mr. Arredondo said he had no information
regarding: the number of bandits,
or their distance from the American
line. The first warning of the
band's approach was given to the State
Department last week.
The information was sent to the War
Department and forwarded to Ma i Gen.
Funston for his information in connection
with military steps to protect the
Big Bend border.
Settlement Under Discussion.
The conference of Mr. Arredondo
with Acting Secretary Polk was also
regarded as preliminary to opening Informal
discussions for a settlement of
the disputes between the two countries.
The .conversations, however, were not
formally begun today, as the Mexican
ambassador has not yet received his instructions
from Mexico City.
While the Mexican envoy was with
Mr. Polk, Henry Fletcher. American
ambassador designate to Mexico, arrived
at the department and was called In
to meet Mr. Arredondo. They had never
before been introduced.
Simple Course Favored.
Mr. Arredondo said he still was waiting
for instructions from Gen. Carranza
on the course the latter will pursue in
negotiating the border troubles and expected
early ^advices. American officials
favor a simple and short course of
direct negotiation with the ambassador.
Mr. Arredondo received advices from
his government today which, he said,
closed the incident in which an American
warship searched a Mexican sailing
vessel at Guaymas. No protest will be
made and his advices will be delivered
to the State Department later.

BORDEAUX. July 10.?The French
line steamer Lafayette was in collision
