Boat's Agents.
From U-
-Baltimore:, juir Failure on tne
part of Its American "agents to com
plete the final details of Its salllnc ar-
raements prevented the Qcrroan lub
tnarlne Deutschland -from leaving Baltl-I
mora today.

hody with authority to sptak would
Jrittmale'thl morning;, but It la reason
ably certain the little subsca" freighter
will not be at the Andre atreet pier
much. longer. j
Confident that her stater ship, the"
Bremen, will soon arive safely In Amer
ican water, convoyed, It waa mid to
day on good authority, 'by fighting sub
inarlnes of the same type, the Deutsch- j
land la ready to poky her bow home--ward
at a- moment's notice.
Armed U-Boats as Convoy.
A man well Informed In the affairs of
the Eastern Forwarding Company, the
submarine's agents, said, this morning
that four armed U-boats of the tamo
alse as the Deutschland left Heligoland
about ten days ago, and It Is his opin
ion that they aro now near the" three
mile limit outside the Virginia capes
ready to protect with their torpedoes
the little subsea merchantman when she
starts back to Bremen with her precious
caxao,
"Watch what happens at the threo

& Ba. ? Ltnls "ource of information.
JThere.wIll be a rcptltlon of what took
jaee In. the North sea when the Hague,
the Cressy, and the Abouklr were de
atroyed by the U-boats In less than half
an hour.
Eleven Allied Battleships,
The officers of the Eastern Forwarding
. Company aeem to have definite Informa
tion that eleven hoitlle battleships aro
'lying In wait in American waters to de
stroy the Deutschland. Their Informa
tion seems to be -that three of these
,rj lying oft the Virginia capes, four
others off Beaufort, N. a, two more oft
the entrance to Boston harbor, and the
other two In the vicinity of the Dela
Il! m.a.p"' The officials, however,
aeern little concerned about the presence
of these boats.
What the hitch was today In the
itouuchland s sailing arrangements can
not be ascertained.
Capt. Paul Koenlg. the fearless little
commander of the first undersea craft
JS.v0,!8 hX t,a.n.,!c- 8Pent the night
with Paul a.U Hilton, junlnor mem
ber of the Eastern Forwarding Com
pany, at his homo In Roland Park,
with Paul O. U Hllken. Junior mem
tendent for the U-boats ugents. and
Henry a. Hllken. senior member of the
Eastern Forwarding Company, he was
in constant touch with the details of
the sailing arrangements, and the
quartet did not retire until. early this
morning when they found themselves
unable to comnlete the arrangements.
At an early hour this momlroc the
tug Thomas F. Timmlns. which con
voyed the Deutschland from the cape
today three weeks ax. was prepared
to run alongside the U-boat and tow It
from the Andre street slip.
Conferences Begin Early.
Conferences between Captain Koenlg,
of the Deutschland. and Captain Hlnsch.
local port manager of the Deutsche
Ocean Rhederei. began early yesterday
morning at the offices of the Eastern
Forwarding Company, and .wsre con
tinued later at the Hansa Haus, the
offices of the -North German Lloyd
Company. The talks were -resumed
when,, the captains returned from
luncheon., and continued 'till late In the
afternoon.
Constructor Gustav Prusse Joined the
talk 'at Intervals at .the "Forwarding
Company's pier, and later, whtn Cap
tains Koenlg and Hlnsch left for the
city, the constructor spent considerable
time over his flirures and notes.
The possible fate of the Bremen ,was
suggested at first as the cause for tho
conferences, but later it was concluded
that the two captains were threshing
out anew and checking over their plans
to evade tho cordon of allied patrol
boats oft the capes and rariged along
the coast as far northward as New
YoYk and south to tho North Carolina
shore.
Bremen Caused Delay.
It has been practically admitted by
the local people charged with the han
dling of the Deutschland that the
Bremen's movements have figured In
the two postponements of the Deutsch
land's departure, and tho moves of
yesterday uro taken to Indicate, either
that tho Deutschland cw, no longer be
hold in port waiting to "speak" the
Bremen, or that definite advices have
been received from her.
The Deutschland. It has -been learned,
lsall ready for her' dash. nnd. In fact,
she has been ready since Thursday.
when tho trimming was udjusted.
Chief Officer Krapohl remained In
charge when the commander left with
Captain Hlnsch. and none of the crew
were permitted to leave the ship till
the middle of the afternoon. Then it
was reported that the submarine would
not sail before morning, and tho crew
was given liberty and many went Into
town,
The crew of the tug Timmlns was
held close to the tug, and she remained
close In her berth in the basin at the
Jfclipan plex. with tho exception of one
period, when she created considerable
excitement by pulling out and running
In beside the submarine.
Five Hawaiians Out to
Rid Coast of Sharks
NEW TORJC. July 30. Five Hawaiian
shark-hunters, armed only with knives
were aboard the tug Hudson when she
put out today to patrol Jersey and Long
Island beaches tomorrow. CapU Cush

latest fight to rid the beaches of tho
