BALTIMORE, July 10 -International complications are to result from the arrival here of the German super-sub-marine Deutschland. Diplomatic negotiations will be necessary. The Deutschland is now getinginto port for a long stay. She may never leave Baltimore harbor until peace i:i Europe is declared. . . This . was . the . belief, .here . today ,of Paul G. L. Hilken, senior member of the firm of A. Schumaker & Co., local agents for the North German Lloyd. While the Deutschland was slipping

into her dock after her 4,000 mile trlr

across the Atlantic HilKen turnea anx

ious eyes toward Washington. Carries No Message. Hilken flatly denied that the Deutschland was bringing a message to President Wilson from the kaiser. He denied that the German government was in any oficial way connected with the giant submarine. "I don't know what the commander of the Deutschland may have in the way of a message to the American people, but he has nothing for President Wilson from the German kaiser," said Hilken. "The company that sent the Deutschland to the United States does not want the vessel to be given a semigovernmental status by the . presence on her of an official or personal mes

sage from the kaiser. We shall have trouble enough as it. is to prove that she is not a government vessel but a commerce boat instead."

The Deutschland is unarmed. Of that Hilken was positive. She carries no guns or torpodoees, he said. Whatever happens to the submarine, her performance just ended is the greatest feat of maritime history. The Deutschland has created a record that will change rules of war, upset blockades and bring-into play. a new means of War time "traffic.7

' The Deutschland started from Bre

men, Germany, for her trip to the United States. She shipped out of the Kiel canal on June 10 and" reached Norfolk during the night of July 8 less than month. From officials of the Schumaker company here it was learned today the economic straits of the German people, were what brought the Deutschland to America. Germany must have certain supplies that she can get nowhere else. , The Deutschland has come for them. The Deutschland will carry away a cargo of nickJe and rubber valued at $600,000 that has for several weeks been stored on the bay front.

No Malice

"The relatives of Elmer Stephenson have no malice towards Ell S. Carr," eaid David Stephenson, a brother of the deceased officer this morning. "The family feels sorry for the slayer and, what Is In store for him," said the brother. "Although he should be punished, the Stephenson people will not urge capital punishment. "There must be strong feeling against a man who breaks up a happy home, widows a young wife, orphans two small children and who robs aged parents of a kind, caring and loving son, but the family Is striving to overcome this natural hatred and to obey Jesus' words to forgive those who trespass against you. "Even Elmer's mother, who was almost killed by the shock when she received the news of her son's tragic death, is willing to forgive the man who robbed her of one of her most prised sons who was 'one of tho greatest prides and joys she had to comfort her in her old age. "Thank God, today she is recovering and Is able to be around. We thought . we were going to lose her,

C f 3 ROUTE TO BILKS VISITS

DODDER LINE HIS BROTHER

Four troops of the first squadron, First 'ew York Cavalry, passed through Richmond in three special trains Saturday afternoon and evening, enroute to San Antonio. Tex. Two big crowds gave the soldiers a hearty greeting. One member of the Buffalo troop was Harry Dilks, brother of George Dilks, this city. He left the train here and later was taken by members of his family in an automobile to Indianapolis where he rejoined his command. Afraid of Their Mounts. . The squadron comprised nearly five hundred officers and men, all fine looking young fellows, apparently afraid of nothing except the wild, unbroken Nevada broncos which the war department had provided them ar mounts. . . "There is more trouble In one ol those wildcats than in a whole regi

ment of Mexicans," remarked a young officer. "We are going to have a merry time breaking 'em. Half those outlaws never had a bit in their mouths and, I believe, some never saw a human being until just recently." I, The "outlaws" as the cavalrymen

called their mounts, were herded into stock cars. They were to have been watered here but it was decided to postpone this ceremony until Indianapolis was reached. Gifts of all kinds were distributed to the soldier boys. Several troopers were made happy with a gift of a half dozen bottles of beer. George B. Dougan, this city, ."set up" about thirty cavalrymen to a "square meal" at the railroad restaurant. In the afternoon a baggage train of 48 motor trucks passed through the city. One of the truck drivers was R. Biglow, formerly of Richmond, who was -an employe of a local five and ten cent store.
