The idea of a submarine merchant service in an effort to 

beat the blockade operated by the Royal Navy was 

suggested in Sep. 1915, and submarine "Deutschland" 

made two trips to the U.S. in 1916. A second submarine, 

the Bremen, sailed in September1916 for Norfolk, 

Viriginia, but never arrived and its fate is a mistery. Owing 

to the increased likelihood of the United States entering 

the war, the German Post Office stopped accepting further 

submarine mail on Feb. 8, 1917, and on Feb. 13 it issued 

regulations for the return of mail already accepted.
