Here’s Luck to You, “Cap”
The Deutschland, the German merchant submarine whose feat in reaching this country a few weeks ago with a cargo of dyes caused the entire world to sit up and take notice set sail Wednesday from Baltimore on her return trip to Germany, and she is said to have successfully eluded the corydon of allied cruisers on the watch for her beyond the neutral waters of the Virginia capes. It is, said that the last act of Captain Koenig and his interpid crew, before submerging outside the capes, was to stand on the deck of the Deutschland and give three rousing cheers for America and. her people. Regardless of where our sympathies may lie in the gigantic struggle going on in the Old World, few of us can help but wish a safe journey back to Germany for the Deutschland.
