The Matin says that tiie aeroplane con

EASILY
WATER.
Captain Koenig said the Deutschland
was-kept under way on the surface dur-
ing most of the distance but at times
he had her submerged and under water
she "moved up and down easily with the
seas."
'So severe was the storm that at times
the submarine made only a mile an hour
headway. In all she was delayed three
days her captain figured and fuel was
consumed at a rate tar In excess of nor
mal. The Deutschland was stH supplied
for "nearly 30 days" when she came in
he said.
During the trip of 4500 miles the
Deutschland traveled under water less
than 10i miles. "9j. I should think." Cap-
tain Koenig said.
"They call it a blockade: you can judge
how much it blocks" the skipper ex-
claimed. Neither Captain Koenig nor Paul G.
Hilkn. vice president of the Kastern For-
warding company to which the Deutseh-
land's cargo is consigned would give the
details of her cargo. She carried drugs
and dyestuffs. they said and 'each
"thought" she might have aboard jewels
and securities. In weight the cargo ag-
gregated 500 tons. The Deutschland
brought also a packet of official mail
for the German ambassador and soma
private correspondence.
It was said here that it was probable
the Deutschland would carry malls under
contract with the United States govern-
ment on the return trip.
A cursory examination of the subma-
rine by Collector of Customs James L
McGovern developed nothing he said
that would conflict with her classifica
tion as a merchantman.
Reports of a conflict between the
Deutschland's officers and the naval of-
ficials at this port over the dismantle-
ment of the submarine's appartus in
keeping with the government's neutrahtv
regulations were denied both by Captiuri

Sayvillel. The Overseas News agency
reports that three German submarines.
which recently returned to their home
ports sank within a few davs ;i ships
of a total of 18.500 tons in the English
channel.
The same agencv states that a German
submarine which reoentlv returned from
cruiser war. repeatedly was offensively
attacked by armed steamers or shelled by-
others when It began lawful search. This
submarine the agency says was attacked
altogether seven times. In nearly all cases
ine steamers were British which carried
one or guns. The same submarine had
been fired at six times by hostile steam-
ers during a previous cruise of several

! NATION HAS INTEREST
IN SOCIAL JUSTICE.
i Discussing the tariff the president de-
: clared he had not nominated the mcm-T
j hers of the tariff commission because he
did not want to wait too long to see
whether the senate would confirm them.
Saying that he did not mean to speak
of politics the president mentioned the
program of the progressive party. He
called attention to the interest of the
nation In social Justice. Men of wealth
he declared must realize that poorer
people are "of the same flesh and blood."
"We have got to organise the relatlon-
this port after shj between private initiative and cov-
making a second ; .. B.ivlM .. h.. nill
He spoke of the shipping bill saying
it was intended to pave the way for pri-
vate activities.
"Out of a mixed collection of people"
he continued "we have got to establish
a unit. I want to register my solemn
protest here against the use of our for-
eign relations for political purposes. 1
can not. I will not. consider any man
a patriot who does this. They bring in
ill estions. the details of w hich they are
ignorant. Sometimes lives are involved."
The president urged co-operation.
' When the talk is over" he conclud-
ed "we will get down to business."
The president criticised men who "in
the midst of the most critical relation-
ships the details of which they do not
know make play with the loss of lives
ol American citizens even in order that
they may create a domestic political ad-
vantage." PARTISANSHIP SHOULD
BE MINIMIZED. t
In his afternoon speechPresident Wil-
son said:
"It is exceedingly important that this
country should discuss its affairs with as
li'tle partisanship of feeling as possible
because there was never a time w hen the
determination of cur domestic iiuctsions
bore a more direct relation to the deter-
mination of our relations to other coun-
tries. America has so to say. given
promise to the world that she will look
at things without the passion that has
determined the acts of other nations. I
want you to let me. if you will give you
In a few sentences my idea of the kind of
questions we have got to settle in this
country.
"One of the things that America is be-
ginning to perceive is that a court of
' law. for example is not necessarily a
! court of justice. I say this with all for-
j mal respect foi a profession w hich I long
ago left the profession of the law. What
: 1 mean Is this: Law too seldom has any
I heart in it: too seldom has any bowels
i of compassion: too seldom has any quick
sympathies of perception.
"Let me make an allusion which may
' seem like a political allusion but it is
not so intended. The reason that the
progressive party was formed four years
ago was that the large body of men who
formed that party made up their minds
that the parly they were separating
themselves from had not thought out the
questions of social justice. Is that not
so? The program of that new party
aside from the items that you would ex-
pect in all programs was a program of
social Justice and look what happened.
More than 4.0004)00 men Joined Its ranks
at the polls not all of them of course. I
dare say men who had thought the mat-
ter out hut all of them who felt that
impulse. There are things that we ought
to see to that wejiave not been seemg to
the health the moral opportunity the
just treatment the neighborly relation-
ship of men of alt sorts and classes and
conditions. 1 tell you. my follow citi-
zens. intil a political party or any other
group of men get that thought at their
hearts they are unfit for the national
confidence.
PRIVATE CAPITAL
MUST BE ENCOURAGED.
"That is the sort of question that we
have to face in the future. And then
there are the most important questions
of organization It Is all very well to
know what justice is but it is another
thin to know how to make it work.
Christianity has been accepted by a large
part of the world for several centuries
but we have never yet quite discovered
the organization that made it work. Now
we have got to organize these relation-
ships between classes. We have got to
organize also the relationships between
the private initiative and governmental
action. Take a matter such as the de-
velopment of our merchant marine.
"I am just as anxious as anybody can
be that private capital should be given
the freest opportunity to develop the car-
rying trade under the flag of the I'nlted
States and I advocated for one shipping
hill which has been made law only be
cause after we had waited indefinitely for
private enterprises to undertake the
thing. It had not undertaken it and it
could not wait: it had to be undertaken.
But it was undertaken with the under
standing that if the government took the
initiative the government was to with
draw when private capital was ready to
take its place that the object was not to
forestall and prevent private capital but
to go where private capital would not go
"It seems to me that furnishes an e.x-
anpie of the relationship that may exist
in many other matters between govern-
mental action and private initiative
When things are necessary to be done the
Ko. eminent ought not to hesitate to do
them If somebody else does not undertake
