The idea of a submarine merchant service in an effort to<br />
beat the blockade operated by the Royal Navy was<br />
suggested in Sep. 1915, and submarine "Deutschland"<br />
made two trips to the U.S. in 1916. A second submarine,<br />
the Bremen, sailed in September1916 for Norfolk,<br />
Viriginia, but never arrived and its fate is a mistery. Owing<br />
to the increased likelihood of the United States entering<br />
the war, the German Post Office stopped accepting further<br />
submarine mail on Feb. 8, 1917, and on Feb. 13 it issued<br />
regulations for the return of mail already accepted.<br />

A RARE COVER CARRIED ON THE ONLY MAIL SHIP<br />
LEAVING SAIPAN DURING THE PERIOD OF THESE<br />
STAMPS' VALIDITY.<br />
Germany purchased the Mariana Islands from Spain in<br />
February of 1899, but by September of that same year,<br />
when these stamps were issued by the local Spanish<br />
postal authorities, news of that fact had not yet reached<br />
the islands. On October 1, the steamer Uranus arrived in<br />
Saipan bringing with it the news of the sale and on<br />
November 22 the same ship actually hosted the official<br />
transfer of sovereignty of the islands from Spain to<br />
Germany. When Uranus finally sailed for Manila she<br />
carried the only overseas mail to have been<br />
legitimately franked with these overprinted stamps.<br />
Consequently all genuine overseas mail bearing the 1899<br />
overprinted issue has to be backstamped with the Manila<br />
Military Station No. 1 c.d.s. of December 11, 1899.<br />
