Neutrality board finds German sub Utschland a merchant vessel
The neutrality board reports the German merchant submarine Utschland is a useful merchant craft with privileges. Indications are the State Department will not announce the submarine’s status formally and the Treasury will be advised to permit her sail from Baltimore or towage as captained. Secretary Polk received the report before a White House cabinet session and suggested a war ruling would be needed only if the craft were ordered from American waters.
