Paris, July 11.—The expedition of
the German submarine Deutschland
, interests the French as a dramatic
incident, but is not regarded here
as of real commercial significance
because of the small cargo capacity
and the hazards of the voyage.
Senator Henry Barenger raises
the question whether the United
States can countenance such voy-
ages. He says the liberty of the
seas is based on the fact that mer-
chant ships are always subject to
control, whereas submarines are
able to avoid such control, as they
can sink or swim at pleasure.

Workmen's Compensation is in Effect
in Porto Rico.
By Associated Press.
San Juan, Porto Rico, July 11.—The
Workmen’s Relief commission, appoint-
ed by Governor Yager to carry out the
provisions of the new workmen’s com-
pensation law, has issued schedules of
rates which went into effect on July 1.
Many employes, particularly the
proprietors of sugar centrals, however,
consider the rates applicable to their
employes too high and have signified
their intention of exercising their op-
tion of rejecting insurance under the
law taking their chances of settling
injury damage claims either in or out
of court.
The rates provided by. the commis-
sion run from a fraction of one per
cent to four per cent for the more
hazardous occupations.
The new law had been pending for
more than five years and during pre-
vious sessions -was vigorously opposed
by the employers. Its passage is con-
sidered a distinct victory for the labor
element of the island and is looked
upon as one of the most constructive
pieces of legislation since American
occupation.
THURSDAY, JULY 13,
IS THE OCCASION
The principal feature of today, which
has been designated Civic Bay at the
Eighth Annual Cotton Carnival and Ex-
position, is the civic pageant which will
take place along the principal streets
of the city at 6 o’clock this afternoon.
Various civic organizations have pre-
pared floats for the occasion. These
floats have been beautifully and artis-
tically arranged to best portray the
work of the organization which they
represent.
Some of the floats will be historical,
others of a civic nature, and still oth-
ers will show the beautiful. Twenty-
one organizations will be represented,
according to the revised schedule as
announced by the members of the com-
mittee in charge of the affair. Hun-
dreds of people will occupy the various
floats, principally women and children.
No time or pains have been spared to
make each floaf as interesting as pos-
sible.
Six cash prizes have been offered for
the best floats presented. They will be
judged according to the following
schedule: Beauty, 40 points; original-
ity, 30 points; theme, 15 points, and
definiteness of expression, 15 points.
The prizes offered range from $200 to
$25, .as follows: First prize, $200; sec-
ond, $150; third, $100; fourth, $75; fifth,
$50, and sixth, $25.
JUDGES APPOINTED.
Marion Douglas, chairman of the
executive committee in charge of the
staging of the pageant, has selected
three judges to pass upon the merits
of the floats. These people are all
strangers in Galveston and have no in-
terests here. They are Judge E. T.
Dr. Willoughby Arrived in Peking Day
Before Death of Yuan.
By Associated Press.
Peking, July 11.—Dr. W. W. Wil-
loughby, of Johns Hopkins university,
who has been named legal adviser to
the . Chinese government, arrived in
Peking the day before the death of
Yuan Shi Kai, and had no opportunity
to see the president, whom he was to
advise on constitutional matters.
Dr. Willoughby has been in China
before, and has made an extensive
study of Chinese politics. As one of
the first steps of Li Yuan Hung’s ad-
ministration will be the framing of a
new constitution, Dr. Willoughby’s
services will be very acceptable to the
new administration. Before coming to
Peking this time, Dr. Willoughby had
known Vice President Li Yuan Hung and
was thoroughly conversant with his
view on Chinese governmental affairs.

‘It is the purpose of the Republicans
to oppose the government ownership

nue bill on the ground that the govern-
ment revenues should be raised from

Baltimore, Md., July 11.—There will
be no objection on the part of Capt.
Paul Konig, commander of the German,
submarine Deutschland, to an inspec-
tion of his craft by officers Of the
United States navy. This was an-
nounced by Capt. Konig today after the
arrival from Washington of Capt. C. F.
Hughes and two of the navy’s subma-
rine experts, assigned to aid the col-
lector of the port in determining the
status of the vessel.
The American naval officers went
aboard the craft today. Capt. Koenig
was not there to receive them, but
they were shown through the vessel
by a marine superintendent of the
North German- Lloyd line with her
commander’s permission.
The work of unloading the cargo of
the Deutschland began shortly after 9
o’clock this morning. The cases of
dyestuffs were stored inside the bond-
ed warehouse at the base of the pier.
Captain C. F. Hughes and two sub-,
marine experts, Lieutenant J. O. Fisher
of the bureau of steam engineering and
Naval Constructor Herbert S. Howard,
accompanied by the collector of the
port, boarded the Deutschland from a
tug. Officially they were to determine
whether the submarine was an armed
vessel, but they were given permission
by Captain Koenig to make a complete
inspection. This meant that the Amer-
ican navy officers had been given the
privilege of learning all the secrets, if
any, of the vessel’s construction.
Capt. Hughes finished his inspesction
of the Deutschland at 2 p. m. He de-
dined to discuss what he had deter-
mined‘as to the status of the craft,
saying he would make his report la-
ter to Collector Ryan.
“I saw everything connected with
the Deutschland except the bottom of
her hull,” he said.
“I went over her entirely for the pur-
pose of establishing her status and
have done so.”
A question has arisen whether th®
submarine will be permitted to take

she is moored. Shipment of nickel to

Reports credited to American refu-

killed recently at Tampico when their
launch was fired upon by Carranza sol-
diers were denied by the state and navy

was based upon an incident at Tam-

In reply to a query as to the in-

land as to the return trip the ambas-
sador said:
“I want again to impress upon you
that this trip is entirely unofficial and
one undertaken by the North German,

should say, however, will not start on
its return for at least two weeks.
When it does return, I shall entrust it

Washington, July 11.— Representa-
tions have been made to the state de-
partment by the British and French
embassies setting up the claim that
the German merchant submarine
Deutschland is potentially a warship,
even though designed and used as a
merchantman.
The department will take the em-
bassies’ view under consideration in
connection with the report of Captain
Hughes, the American navy expert, who
is making an examination of the big
submarine.
Before the arrival of the Deutsch-
land, acting upon the basis of reports
in the press that the submarine was
due in the American port, Colville Bar-
clay, the British counsellor and charge
d’affairs in the temporary absence of
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, communicated to
Secretary Lansing the position of his
government regarding the use of any
underwater craft in commercial service.
Again yesterday Mr. Barclay took oc-
casion to direct Acting Secretary Polk’s
attention to the representations he had
made July 3. M. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, also has been in com-
munication with the department.
From the allies’ point of view, any
submarine is essentially a warship. The
United States, Great Britain and France
agree On the doctrine that it is ille-
gal to change the character of a mer-
chant ship into a cruiser or privateer
on the high seas, but the German gov-
ernment always has insisted upon that
right. Consequently, it is argued, it
would be no violation of the German
interpretation of international law for
.the Deutschland to take aboard arma-
ment outside of the three-mile limit
and to prey upon commerce.
. 'The very nature of construction of a
submarine, it is also held, makes it
impossible for such a craft to comply
with the requirements of international
law. She could not be stopped and
searched and, allies assert, must be re-
garded aS an enemy warship subject
to destruction upon sight.

The British lines north of the Siomme
gradually are being brought up to a

London today announces the capture
of Contalmaison, marking progress in
the work of cruising in the German sal-

This process has been further ac-

of German trenches in Mametz wood,
southwest of Montauban, while the
struggle of the British to regain pos-
session of Trones wood, in the Mon-
tauban sector is continuing.
While the British were achieving
these results, the French forces on
their flank lapsed into momentary in-
activity after having yesterday pushed
to within a mile of Peronne.
