U-Boat to Sail Within Ten Days On Return Trip.

Confident that the effort of the diplomatic representatives of the entente allies to have his vessel classed as a warship and interned will prove unavailing, Capt. Paul Koenig, master of the German submarine, is preparing to leave port on his return voyage to Germany within ten days. Capt. Koenig expressed satisfaction when informed that the American naval officers who Tuesday inspected the Deutschland had reported in effect that not only was it an unarmed merchantman, but was so constructed that it could not be converted into a war boat without virtually being rebuilt. At least eight vessels of the same design, it has been authoratatively learned, now are being built at Kiel, and with these in addition to the Deutschland and the Bremen, already are enroute to America. Germany expects in a measure to be able to reestablish her lost commerce and ma : l communication with the rest of the world.
