THE UTMOST SECRECY England Is Watching Like a Hawk, Anxious to Pounce Upon the Wonder Ship. BALTIMORE, Md., July 18.—The German super-submarine Deutschland was still at her pier here early to day. As far as could be. learned though, she Intends to dash for the Virginia Capes tonight. One of the Germans connected with her venture announced early to day that she had gone. A statement from A. Schumacher and Company's office, however, was that anything told about the leaving time will be a lie. Despite this policy of misinforma tion, everything points to an early get away. The tug Timmlns, hover ing close to the ship and her precious cargo, is fully coaled. The last of the visitors will be taken on the sub marine today and some crew mem bers not under orders to misinform, says she is heading out tonight. Negro stevedores put in a busy night, tucking away the last of the cargo and this work was due to be finished today. Captain Koenig refused to aawir snrc .Treat,?? He still told friends lie -would get home safely." The captain of an incoming steamer said today that England has a big fleet of warships and trawlers and a line of nets In the English channel ready for the submarine. He believes the British policy, Will be to let the Deutschland pass "the capes safely with a view to seising her later. Wireless Lid Is On.

The Germans and German-Americans con nected with the submarine venture were plainly angered at this step, be lieving it to be unneutral. While they refused to be quoted they indicated that they feel this act to be overstepping all reasonable re quirements of neutrality. They said that absolutely nothing in the mes sages could be of military value and that they were not In code. The Deutschland's loading neared completion this forenoon. The last of the rubber should be in her hold be fore night, stevedores said. Two big gasoline tank cars were backed up to the wharf today and .it least part of their contents will be dumped into the vessel to feed her three powerful Diesel engines.

The people in Baltimore have been friend ly to us." Captain Koenig was not saying to day that he would leave right away, but consented, as a "preparedness" advocate to give out the above fare well just as a matter of caution so nobody could say he had iot bade the people good-bye.

ADVANCING THE LINES Russian Left Wing Breaks Through the German Line and Threat ens to Surround the Teutons. PETROGR1AD, July IS.—The Ger mans have retreated nearly ten miles in Volhynla under the swift advance of General Kaledin's left wing. In their hasty retirement, several thousand more prisoners, a number of heavy guns and large supplies of war material have fallen Into the hands of the Russians. The retreat was made necessary when several Russian regiments broke through the German front and threatened to sur round a part of General Von Linsing en's army. The Russians have ad vanced their lines to the north bank of the river Lipa and are strengthen ing their new positions on the entire front. The advance widens the Russian salient, extending into the AustioGerman front southeast of Kovel, thus removing the danger of crushing enemy attacks on both sides of the Russian wedge. All along the eastern front, the czar's armies have suddenly resum ed the initiative. The Russian left wing in southern Bukowina is again in motion against the reinforced Austrian army. The Infantry com bats are becoming more frequent in Galicla and both artillery and in fantry activity are reported on Gen eral Kuropatkin's front in the Dvinsk Riga region on the north.

KEEPING WARM Expected to Find Cool Breezes at St. Paul, But City is as Hot as Else whore. ONLY TWO CANDIDATES Hanly of lnd[ana and Sofzer of New York are Active for 'Nomi nation for Presi dent. [By Press H. L. Rennlck, United Staff Correspondent] ST. PAUL, Min., July 18.—Prohibi tionists who came to St. Paul one day in advance of the opening of their na tional convention, hoped against hope today that their predicted merger with dry elements of other partlee could be accomplished. Up to the open ing of the "get together conference" today, at which scores of prominent bull moose, dry democrats and dry re publicans had been expected, there were only a handful of other party representatives here. National Chairman Hinshaw and other prohibition leaders, sought to round up all the bull moose in sight and found one, Colonel J. M. Inger soll, of Idaho, progressive national committeeman, from his state, who is strongly in fvor of merging the bull moose with the prohibitionists. Colonel John M. Parker, of Lou isiana, progressive nominee for vice president, was reported today to have turned the same kind of cold shoulder toward the drys as did Henry Ford. Telegrams from New Orleans today Indicated that Parker had refused un der any circumstances to be a pro hibition candidate for vice president. At the get together conference, ora tory was to be free and unlimited. •Delegates, including hundreds of women who had spent sleepless nights in hot Pullmans, found St. Paul just as hot when they arrived and prepared to take plenty of fans to the convention hall. Disappointment at failure of other party chieftains to arrive, was echoed early today in statements by some prohibitionists that they would fight any move to change the name of the party. "If we can't adopt the bull moose orphans, what's the use of changing our name to the progressive-prohibi tion party?" was their line of reason ing. The race for presidential nomina tion seemed to have narrowed down to two today. Former Governor Eu gene N. Foss, of Massachusetts, it was reported had decided not to run. J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana, and William Sulzer, former governor of New York, were the ac tive candidates. A movement to change tl-e name of the prohibition party to the national reform party met with heated opposi tion this afternoon at a conference of prohibition delegates prior to open ing of their national convention. The movement launched by Colonel J. M. Ingersoll of Idaho, progressive national committeeman from that state, who was the lone bull moose attending the conference was design ed to combine the progressive and {Cantmed an pago 5.) a £rt3WfTr? .'

July 18—Leading horse dealers in the market across the river, today declined to say just how many horses the United States government had bought in the East St. Louis market since the Mexican trouble began. It was learned through various sources, however, that more than three thousand cavalry mounts have been purchased here during the past few weeks. The United States was paying more for its horses than the allied govern ments, one dealer said. He said the European powers, tiring of the gaff, are buying a cheaper grade. The government is paying a good price and getting better horse flesh, the same man said. He would not divulge the cost. Will Transfer Guardsmen. SAN ANTONIO, Texas.
