OLDEST ODDFELLOW
IN TOE WORLD
PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 16.—Na
than D. Hill, aged 94, the oldest Odd
Fellow in the world in point of mem
bership, received a 70-year veteran’s
jewel last night from his associates,
the presentation being made by H. G.
Merritt, grand master of the grand
lodge of Washington. Mr. Hill is the
first Odd Fellow to be entitled to such
a jewel.
NOTE—Nathan D. Hill, referred to
in the foregoing dispatch, is a pioneer
of the Puget sound country and one of
the most highly respected citizens in
the state of Washington, where he has
long been an influential figure. His
nephew, Horace Hill, is employed by
the Alaskan Engineering Commission,
now being stationed at Talkeetna.
Horace Hill was formerly assistant
city engineer of Spokane.
PROFITS OF DEUTSCHLAND
PLACED AT THREE MILLIONS
WASHINGTON.—The comfortable
profit of $3,000,000 was made by the
man who conceived the idea of send
ing the submarine Deutschland to the
United States with a cargo of dye
stuffs.
It has been learned here that Herr
Lohmann, whose idea made him weal
thy, purchased concentrated essences
of dyestuffs at cost price in Germany.
He arranged for direct sale of the
product to American manufacturers,
thus avoiding the payment of commis
sions and other brokerage charges.
His conduct in this respect caused
considerable disappointment to Her
mann Metz of Brooklyn and others,
who have been beseeching the state
department to force Great Britain to
permit dyestuffs to pass through Hol
land to the United States on the
ground that they are not contraband
of war.
Facts regarding Herr Lohmann
which have reached Washington show
that he was born in Australia of a
German father and an English moth
er. He went to Germany and after
the war had been in progress some
time he enlisted financial support for
his project to use submarines as car
go boats.
The admiralty supplied him with
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
sailors who had been working on ves
sels trading in the Baltic sea. This
aid given by the admiralty was offer
ed as a ground for establishing a gov
ernment connection between Germany
and the Deutschland.
The authorities here have learned
that the Deutschland took on board a
heavy load of gasoline. When the ves
sel arrived at Baltimore it had suffi
j cient in its tanks to enable it to return
home. Why a large additional supply
was obtained is a question that has
| been giving concern,
i If any of the gasoline should be
| transferred by the Deutschland by a
war submarine the cargo boat thereby
would become a German naval auxili
ary, and, as such, would suffer the
same treatment as any other war ves
sel.
Of greater importance to the Unit
ed States is the fact that the entente
allies would hold that this government
had permitted its shores to serve as a
base for German operations, and this
would strengthen a claim for heavy
damages.
