Neutrality Board
Says Deutschland
Is Peaceful. Craft
Washington, July 14. An advisory
report on the status of the German
merchant-submarine Deutschland,
submitted to Acting Secretary Polk
today by the government neutrality
board, is understood to hold that the
vessel is a peaceful merchant craft,
and entitle I to all privileges.
Indications now are that the State
department will make no formal an
nouncement concerning the submar
ine, but that the Treasury department
will be advised to 'permit it to clear
and sail from Baltimore whenever its
captain desires to start on his return
voyage.
Mr. Polk received the neutrality
board's report just before he went to
the White House to attend the cab
inet meeting. He intjmated that a
formal ruling by the department
would be necessary only in case the
submarine had been found to be a
warship, liable to be ordered from
American . aters.
The neutrality board gave its ad
vice after considering the reports of
navy and customs officers, who made
a complete examination of the
Deutschland and concluded that it not
only was unarmed, but could not be
converted for war purposes without
extensive structural changes.

BY FRED S. HUNTER.
At 2:30 this afternoon Starter Fred
Wagner will wave his red .flage and
seventeen of the fastest racing auto
mobiles in the world will start on
their purusit of the prize njpney and
glory which will go to the winner of
the) second annual Omaha champion
ship automobile derby.
That the classic this afternoon will
Le the most desperately fought and
the most sensational race meet of the
1916 season is the universal opinion
of the officials, the drivers and the
rail birds .who follow the racing
game. Te field is unquestionably as
any ever assembled and the track
ranks as the fastest in the world.
The full number of seventeen cars
permitted by the American Automo
bile association, under whose auspices
the race will be run, will go to the
post in the main event, the J50-mile
race, this afternoon. Eighteen cars
Qualified, but Ed Rawlings was
pushed out because he could only do
ninety miles an hour, wane the otner
seventeen did better. Rawlings, how
ever, will get into the 50-mile race,
which follows the big event.
. Three More Qualify,
Three more cars qualified, in the
eliminations held yesterday after,
oonn. Aldo Franchi, Hughie Hughes
and Tommy Milton are the fortunate
pilots.
Franchi made the best mark of the
three. He sent his powerful Pusun
around in 44 4-5, a clip of a little
better than 100 miles an hour. He
will receive tenth position at the start
by virtue of this mark.
Hughie Hughes was right beliifld
Franchi. He qualified at ninety-nine
miles an hour and gets eleventh posi
tion. Hughes was originally sched
uled to drive a Duesenberg here, but
he could not get his machine in shape
following mechanical mishaps at
Sioux City, and he was signed yes
terday to drive the Delage car which
Jules Devigne intended to drive.
It was joyful news tor the speed
enthusiasts when it became known
Hughie would pilot the speedy De
lage because Hughie is absolutely a
master at the wheel and he can be
counted upon to make a fast and
furious pace.
Milton Makes First Sart.
Tommy Milton, who did not arrive
until Thursday, went upon the track
for the first time yesterday and quali
fied his Duesenberg for twelfth place
ni the start at ninety-eight miles an
hour; '
Wilbur D'Alene, Mihon's Duesen
berg teammate, startled the rail birds
yesterday by beating Eddie Ricken
bacher and Dave Lewis in the fight
for starting positions.' Wilbur quali
fied at 104 miles m hour and catches
fourth position as a result while Rick
and Lewis fall to fifth and sixth.
Wilbur had the old Duesy popping
yesterday and if it works as nicely
today trouble is in store for some
body because D'Alene will give the
car all she can hold.
Jack Gable, -who drives the Burman
Special, also bettered his mark yes-
