Other news of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise in good condition.

wikipedia notes: Deutschland was a blockade-breaking German merchant submarine used during World War I. It was developed with private funds and operated by the North German Lloyd Line. It was one of the first UA-class boats built but was unarmed, with a wide beam to provide space for cargo. The capacity was 700 tons (much of it outside the pressure hull), relatively small compared to surface ships. Deutschland was used for high-value transatlantic commerce, submerging to avoid British patrols.
