Deutschland Starts On Return Trip to Germany.

The Deutschland, the Genmajr U--boat which made the trip to America from Germany with a load of dyestuffs, and since that time has been lying in dock at Baltimore, left Tuesday afternoon on the return trip. The trip was started on the second anniversary of Germany’s declaration of war against Russia. The submarine was towed out of the slip where 6he was berthed 23 days agio, at 6:40 Tuesday afternoon and it is expected that she will be at Newport News, Va., between 8 and 9 O’clock this morning. After getting into midstream, the tow line of the tug, Thomas F. Timmons, was <gist off and the Deutschland proceeded down the Potomac river under her own power. The Timmons went to one side, the coast guard cutter, Wissahickon to the other, and the harbor police boat Lannan brought up the rear to prevent undue crowding the small fleet of launches that folT lowed. Captain Koenig and his crew put to sea with the knowledge that a man hurried to a telephone with a message to agents of the entente allies that the Deutschland had started. They knew how long he' had watched at the end of thb nearby pier, day and night, but the little captain went out of Baltimore smiling and waving his cap. His last words were praise for Amerca and for his treatment by the Baltimore customs officials. Captain Koenig expressed confidence that he would take her home .n spite of the heavy odds she would face when the three-mile limit in the Atlantic was reached.
