CAPE HENRY, Va, Aug. 2.—The German merchant submarine Deutachland had not been sighted here at 2.80 o'clock this afternoon, twenty-one hours after she left Balti- more on her return trip to Germany, Marine men believed the boat had stopped somewhere up Chesapeake Bay, as not more than seventeen hours would have been necessary for her to make the trip here, even at a moderate rate of speed. The latest report from the vesse! came at 6.80 o'clock this morning, when she was sighted at Tangier Island, sixty miles up the bay. At that hour she was under way and was attended by the tug Thomas F, Tim- mins, Shortly after noon to-day a two- funnelled warship came near the three-mile line for a short time, but later put back to sea Only one allied warship has been sighted off here during the day The nailing plans of the Deutsch- land were a carefully guarded secret, but when she left Baltimore there was a belief that she would proceed direct to Newport News, On the other hand there was an expectation in some quarters that the submersi- ble would seek a quiet cove or inlet somewhere in Lower Chesapeake Bay and there awalt a favorable oppor- tunity to make a dash through the allies’ blockade off the cape Prince von Hatzfeldt, counscior uf he German Embassy at Washingtoa, came to Norfolk to-day for a enter ence with loca! counsel !n the Appar. case. “Do you think the Deutsc stop at Newport News’ asked, nland will be was “I do not know,” he replied.

A rift developed to-day’ in the harmony which it was expected would prevail to-morrow at the conference of physicians, called here at the expense of the city, to dis- cuss infantile paralysis, This came about because several prominent doctors who have »een doing yeoman service in fighting the epidemic were not invited to take part in tho conference, The most prominent of these men, who, according to his friends has been deliberately snubbed, is Dr. 4 J. Meltzer of the Department of Piy- stolology and Pharmacology of Rockefeller Institute, It wos Dr. Meltzer who, in a paper read before the Academy of Medicine. advocated the use of adrenalin in treating paralysis. As a result of that paper adrenalin was employed with urotropin in treating paralysis sufferers ut the New York Throat, Nose and Lung Hospital, markable resifits are said to have been acoomplished by the treatment Four patients in the hospital have} been discharged as cured and two| more are only waiting for their par- ents to take them away, Out of fifty Jtreated thirty-five improved so rap-| idly under the treatment that further! injections have been found unneces- | sary.
