Captain Koenig Tells of Life
on Deutschland During Trip
By Carl D. Groat
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New London, Conn., Nov. 1.-A wine party near the ocean bottom
while a gale raged far over head was one of the many thrilling in-
cidents on the trip of the giant German subsea freighter, Deutsch-
land, from Bremen to New London, Captain Koenig said this after-
noon.
There was plently to keep us occupied while we were submerg-
ed," said the submarine commander. We played the graphophone
and we had wine, yes, plenty of wine." Koenig said he knew nothing
about the submarine Bremen, except that she sailed Aug. 26 with a
60 day food supply. "We are carrying dyestuffs and drugs," he said.
We left Bremen on Oct. 10, in a raging northwest gale.
"Yes, we saw many ships, about the same number as on our
first trip. Some we went around, others we dove under. We travell-
ed less than 125 miles submerged. We saw the grim British war-
ships in the North sea and we saw seven ships between here and
Nantucket."
The captain said he expected to start back to Germany within
a fortnight. Reporters drew with great difficulty, the story of his
audience with the Kaiser from the modest U-boat captain. He told
the Kaiser, he said, that the United States was neutral. "The Kais-
er took things that I said, just as I told them," he added. The Kais-
er, he said, is looking very well.

of our country to secure political ad-
vantage," President Wilson today said
such men are unpatriotic. "I want to
register vigorous protest against this
practice," he said.
"I would be ashamed to call myself
a partisan," he went on amidst ap-
plause, "if in the midst of a political
campaign there were those about me
who would make use of the loss of
lives of Americans to make political
capital." He discussed business rela-
tions at length.
how to Get Business Peace.
Peace in the business world of "to-
morrow" depends upon the determina-
tion of employers to treat their men
"as if they were of the same flesh and
blood as you," he told 300 business
men assembled to hear him. The
president received a great reception
when he rose to speak.
"What we need is light more than
heat," he said, in opening. "I will be
glad when the campaign is over, be-
cause we can talk sense again. The
affairs of our country were never so
critically set about as at this moment.
There never was a time when our do-
mestic determinations bore such a
close relation to our attitude toward
the rest of the world. There was never
a time when we should discuss them
more honestly, more thoroughly than
now.
Cannot Decide Tariff Policy.
"American must look upon things
without the passion sweeping other
countries. No man can determine
what are to be the details of working
out the problem facing this country.
The first thing to do is to determine
the facts. When facts are known, we
must soberly adjust our affairs to
