MERCHANT FLEET OF ZEPPELINS TO COME Deutschland Captain Says Ger- many Is Building Aerial Squadron for Trade. THEY ARE OOMING SOON Baltimore, July 14.—Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, spent an hour aboard the German submarine merchantman Deutschland today. He inspected the vessel from stem to sterd, had the intricate ma- chinery and instruments aboard ex- plained to him anc personally con- gratulated Captain Koenig upon bringing his vessel safely to America through waters infested with hostile war craft. Two attaches of the German em- bassy, the German and Austrian con- suls in Baltimore, and Mayor Preston accompanied the ambassador on his visit to the submarine. Intense heat inside the hull of the vessel, gencrated by the sun’s ray beating upon the deck and sides, Ercvcnled the party from remaining-aboard longer than an hour. Will Send Documents. The ambassador informed Capain Koenig that he would send to him be- fore the Deutschland starts on its re- turn voyage several packets of official papers which he desires to have de- livered intact to the Berlin foreign office. Some of these documents em- bassy officials have been reluctant to trust in the regular mails because it was considered likely they would fall into the hands of British censors. The ambassador was enthusiastic as he emerg ' from the conning tower of the Deutschland. “It is a wonderful boat, and with as courageous a ‘crew as ever sailed the sea, has made a wonderful voyage,” said he. “I climbed up and down every hatchway, looked into every compart- ment and had my first experience with a periscope. Koenig ‘in Full Charge. “Captain Koenig did not tell me just when he expects to leave for Ger- many, but I presume it will be soon after he has his return cargo aboard. He is in complete charge of the vessel and has his orders from Berlin. His craft is a private one; just as much as any North German Lloyd liner. My visit was . entirely unofficial.” %hc ambassador’ arrived in Balti- more this afternoon from New York, Prior to visiting the submarine he attended a luncheon at the Germania club, given in honor of Captain Kocnig. Tonight he was present at a dinner given by Mayor Preston to the commander of the submarine. He made reservations on a late train for New York. City officials who visited the sub- marine today, quoted Captain Koenig as saying that Zeppelin _2'rship freighters are being built in Germany for trans-Atlantic service. Bigger Surprise Coming. “To you, ' Captain Koenig is quoted as saying, “the trip of the Deutschland is a great achievement. You mustn't be too enthusiastic over it, for a big- ger surprise is coming. A.great Zcf pelin airship, or may be I should say airships, are being built in Ger- many. In the near future one or more of them will sail to the United States. Just as sure asthe Deutsch- land came tc Amcnca, so will the Leppelms come.” Henry G. Hilken of the Eastern Forwarding company, the local agency for the Deutschland, said the project of forming a company in the United States to construct merchant | submarines was being considered. The proposed line, it was said, will con- sist of American-built vcssels, manned by American sailors and flying the American flag, plying between Bre- | men and American ports. Won't Tip Off Allies.
