Captain Koenig, of Deutschland, Honored By Germany.

Almost every German building of importance are decked with flags in celebration of the safe return of the sub-liner Deutschland to Germany. The newspapers give the exploit of Captain Koenig the prominent place in the editorial column and discuss the possibility of the empire getting certain needed materials through merchant submarines. Captain Koenig and his crew have-been feted as heroes. The press gives liberal praise to the fair and neutral conduct of the United States while the Deutschland was anchored at the U. S. port. As soon as it was learned about a week ago that the Deutschland was making good progress to Germany the sistership Bremen was allowed to leave the German port. It is expected that the Bremen will arrive in the United States some time in the early part of September.
