coast. She carries mail and a
cargo of 750 tons of costly chemi

back home a similar amount of
nickle and crude rubber sorely i
need by the German army. Fii
teen davs out from Bremerhaven

Three hours later the big sub

the German merchant flag flying,
under her own power, piloted by
Capt. Frederick D. Cocke of the

THE LEADER ENTERPRISE
DETROIT, July 10—President
Wilson, in a speech here today,
declared against armed interven
tion in Mexico.
« He said that to overwhelm
Mezxico with force was not a right
way to help that country, and ad
ded that a people has a right to do
as it chooses with its government.

ments had been made for receiv
ing her with formal ceremonies
tomorrow, and her captain was
crdered to wait in the lower har
por. He and his crew of 29 men
remained aboard their craft.
Is Not a War Vessel
Regarding his vessel as a mer
chantman subject to no unusual
restrictions, the skipper, whose
name is said to be Capt. Koeng,
went up the Chesapeake withou*
waiting to notify local customs
and quarantine authorities of his
presence. He was five hours away
before Norman Hamilton, Collec
tor of Norfolk and Newport News
heard the news and started on his
trail aboard the coast guard cutter
Onondaga. At last report tonight
the cutter had not approached the
submarine, and it is understood
that she merely was ordered to
keep the strange craft under sur
veillazwe as a neutrality precau
tion. Quarantine and port regu
lations will be complied with
when the vessel moves up. to her
dock tomorrow. ;
Little was known here tonight
bout what happenew. Juring the
Zpoch-making cruise, which in a
small measure, at least breaks the
blockade on German trade -with
the rest of the world.” None of
the submarine’s crew had landed
and the agents of her owner had
received meagre reports. Such
information as was available
came indirectly from the pilot and
from Capt. Hans F. Hinsch of the
North German Lloyd liner Neck
ar, laid up here since the begin
ning of the war. Capt. Hinsch
boarded the Deutschland from
the Timmins and made the trip
up the bay with her.

to have been a semi-conscious
state from an empty house on the
Rs: M 2 Handley farm, south of the
city, and removed .to parts un
known. A negro who witnessed
the removal and afterwards so in
formed Mr. Handley identified the
'partics and furnished the descrip

BOX SENT BOYS OF COM
. PANY C AT MACON
- The box which was solicited by
Hubert Roush and Homer Wat
ers was sent last week as per
schedule. Although contributions
were fairly liberal, more might
have been expected, considering
the circumstances. The same
two young men are canvassing
for contributions for another box
this week. Remember that seven
ty-five men, more or less hungry,
consume a lot of tobacco -and
..f( od and act accordingly. Let us
make the box this week come
!fuliy up to Fitzgerald standards.
The hoys really need thé stuff.
’ A complete list will be publish
ed Wednesday of the contribu
tions received up to that time,
which will include the donations
received for the last box sent off.
