Baltimore, July 14. Count von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
spent an hour aboard the German
submarine merchantman Deutschlahd
today. He inspected the vessel from
stem to sterri, had the intricate ma
chinery and instruments aboard ex
plained to him ane personally con
gratulated Laptain Koenig upon
bringing his vessel safely to America
through waters infested with hostile
war craft
Two attaches of the German env
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, generated
by the sun's ray beating upon the deck
and sides, orevented the oartv from
remainmg-aboara longer than an hour.
Will Send Documents.
The ambassador informed Capain
K.oenig tnat he would send to htm 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
otiice. some ot 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 ot British censors.
The ambassador was enthusiastic as
he emerg ' from the conning tower
ot 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 tor Oer
many, but I presume it will be soon
atter 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.
jviy visit was. entirely unomciai.
The ambassador' arrived in Balti
more this afternoon from New York.
Prior to visiting the ajbmarine he
attended a luncheon at the Germania
club, given in honor of Captain
Koenisr. Tonieht he wai oresent at
a dinner given by Mayor Preston to
the commander ot the submarine, tie
made reservations on a late train for
New York.
City officials who visited the sub
marine today, quoted Captain Koenig
as saying that leppelin arship
freighters are being built in Germany
tor trans-Atlantic service.
Bigger Surprise Coming.
"To vou." Captain Koenig is quoted
as saying, "the trip of the Deutschland
a great achievement. You mustn t
be too enthusiastic over it, for a big
ger surprise is coming. ..A. great Zep
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 as .the Deutsch
land came tc America, so will the
Zeppelins 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 vessels, manned
by American sailors and flying the
American nag, plying between Bre
men and American ports.

Congressman Reavis
Marches fn Efks' Parade
Baltimore, July 14. (Special Tele
gram.) C. F. Reavis, Nebraska con
gressman, inarched with the Wash
ington delegation in the Elks' parade
today. Nebraska lodges failed to
enter, although some lodges had one
man representations. The marshal of
the parade stated that the several Ne
braska representatives here felt that
as they were neither very small or
very large in numbers, they would
help 'the parade more by boosting it
from, the curb. One hundred and
twenty-five thousand persons wit
nessed the pageant. .
Tonight the. Nebraska delegates at
tended the drill teams' and visiting
bands'- contests, at Riverview. To
morrow morning they leave for home.
OIL INSPECTION FEE
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Referee Morning Holds Law Is
Revenue Producer and
Violates Constitution.
SUSTAINS STANDARD OIL
Lincoln, Neb., July 14. In a report
filed this evening with the supreme
court, W. M. Morning, the referee
appointed by the court, declares the
inspection fee imposed by the state
against the Standard Oil company is
illegal and recommends that the in
junction suit instituted by Attorney
General Reed to prevent the oil com-
t
pany from refusing to pay the inspec
tion fee be denied.
Referee Morning says in his report
that the state for more than fifteen
yearshas been collecting more than
double the cost of actual inspection,
and that the profit to the state lias
been so unreasonably large that the
practical operation of the law has
been that of a revenue measure rather
than of a legitimate inspection enact
ment. His report sustains the contentions
of the'Standard Oil company and
other oil companies that ceased pay
ing fees on the ground that the in
spection law is in reality a revenue
law, and therefore void because it vio
lates the constitutional provision pro
viding for equal taxation.
He sustains the contention of the
oil company that the section of the
state oil law fixing a fee should be
adjudged null and void and that the
state of Nebraska and its officers be
perpetually restrained from enforcing
the collection of the present oil in
spection fee.
Deutschland Carries
Diamonds, it is Said
London. July 14. It has been
learned from a good source, says
Reuter's Amsterdam correspondent
in a dispatch today, that the principal
object of the voyage of the German
commercial submarine Deutschland
to the United States was to convey
a cargo of- diamonds which it had
been hitherto impossible to export.
Former Omaha Man Reported
Killed With Canadian Troops
Dispatches received here tell of the
death on the front in France of Pri
vate Michael Cound, who is said to
have lived in Omaha at one time.
Allies Still Winning "
"Battle of Europe"
London, July 14. There was very
little news today of the "battle of Eu
rope" a term commonly applied to
describe the new co-ordinated en
tente allied offensive on all fronts.
But the British official statement to
night shows that heavy infantry and
artillery fighting has been in progress
and has enabled the British to main
tain their pressure against the Ger
mans and advance the line at various
points.
The British forces at Mametz.now
are within 300 yards of the German
second line. The French forces are
separated only by the narrow Somme
valley from the German third line
through Feronne and Mont St. Quen
tin and both armies are doubtless
engaged in preparations for the next
attacks.
