The Case Of the Appam.

In considering on February 3 the
case Of the British liner Appam,
which was brought into Norfolk by
Lieutenant BERG of the German navy
after her capture by the auxiliary
cruiser Mocwe of the coast of Africa
on January 16, THE Sun contended
that the German Government could
not invoke Article NIN. of our treaty
with Prussia. revived I'm 1890, to as
sure an Indefinite stay for the Appam
In n port OF the United States. .Arti-
Gle NIX. provided that 1.-The vessels
Of war. public and private, Of both
parties, shall carry freely, whereso-
ever they please. the vessels and ef-
fects taken from their enemies" may
enter the ports Of the "other party"
without paying duties or being put
under legrl process, and may be freely
carried out again TAT any time by
their captors to the places expressed
in their commissions" THE SUN said
Mt the time:
1T would seem to he diffcult TO make
.his agreement a. the case Of the Appam.
which did no, come into port with an
other vessel as a prize. Moreover. tho
article implies a departure at some t,mo

commission. II VAS never rance 20

On March . Secretary LANSING
made his decision in a letter to the
German Ambassador at Washington,
which Is only now published because
it has been introduced in evidence IL
n suit by the original British owners

In his letter to Count o BERNsroRFr
Secretary LANSING says:
Try n reasonable Interpretation Of
Article XIX. II seems clear that 1t ~
applicable only to prizes which are
brought into American ports by ves-
sells OF var The Appam. however, as
your Excellency Ia aware. was not ac-
corrpan!ed by a ship Of war. hut came
into tho port OF Norfolk alone in charge
Of a prize master and crew.
Az to the commissions" mentioned
In Article XIN. Mr.. LANSING says
that they "are manifestly those OF
the captor vessels which accompany
prizes into port and not those Of the
officers Of the prizes arriving In port
without convoy. and II Is clear that
the port Of refuge was not to be made
n port Of ultimate destination or In
definite asylum" Under this inter,
probation Of Article NIX. Of the
treaty with Prussia. the Appam. II
the suit Of the British owners had
not superycncd, would have been re,
qlcStod to put Ia sen after taking on
fuel and provisions at Norfolk. There
remains the decision Of Judge WAp
Dill Of the Federal Court at Norfolk
upon the claim Of the British and
African Steam Navigation Company
\ question Of Jurisdiction Is before
him rs well as that Of the status OF
the .Appam. 1t promises to be n cele-
bra,cd case and may go to the United
States Supreme Court.

A DiscredItable Comparison.

Al the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Association for Promoting Hy-
giene and Public Baths In Baltimore
one of the delegates from the borough
of Manhattan was painfully cnm-
PEELED to acknowledge that New York
Is the only large city in the United
States that does not battle It's school
children because II Is financially I'M
able to do so. 1t appears that the
city has constructed baths In all It's
more recent school buildings and
added them to many of the older oTrs,
81 that II has ut least lOi schools
which are provided with facilities for
bathing. Nevertheless, only n ap-
preparation has been mad" for the
maintenance Of these baths, namely,
for 1919. Previous Ia that time Dis
-rirt Superintendent r.. w. SrIrr, in
charge of the recreation centres, had
diverted Il portion Of his fund 10 sup
ply necessary attendance 10 II compar-
a,lyely small number OF the school
baths.
The following cities have FOR several
| years maintained school baths: New
ton, Mass. Holyoke, Mass: Troy. y.
y; Grand Rapids, Mich. Worcester,
Mass, and Hoboken, n. j.. each have
one; Cambridge, Mass, and Kansas
! City, Mo-, have two each; Richmond,
Va, and Baltimore, Md, have three;
Jersey City has four; Buffalo, st.
Paul, Mimi, and Albany ench have
five: Springfield, Mass. eight Wash
ington, u. G., eleven; Pittsburg, Pa,
twenty Minneapolis, Mimi, twenty
two; Cincinnati. Ohio, twcnty-thrc",
and Cleveland, Ohio, tifty-fve.
During n discussion Of school baths
shown that reports from the princi-
pals of many New York schools on
firm the reports Of the principals of
German schools that there Is No
agency that promotes no only the
physical welfare Of the children but
also their mental %alcrtncss. This
manifests itself so clearly that even
the ungradcd or backward children
become more receptive to instruction
Immediately after the bath. The eco
nomic side of the school bath was en-
phusized by principals in the proven
ton of retarded promotion.
Experiments made In the Wander
bilt clinic by Dr. ELEANOR I. KELLER
were brought forward to show that
baths improve the mental and physi'
cal condition Of children who by rca-
son Of their low grade mental condi-
tion are not accepted In the schools,
The fact was also brought out that
the nations which have proved most
efficient In history, the Romans and
the Japanese, have been bathing IN
lions. 1t was suggested that the efforts
Of the higher types of Germans have
bccn directed during the last quarter
of II century toward making Germany
n bathing nation. II was stated that
the Emperor and his Ministers, also
the army and navy, send delegates to
the meetings OF the German Society
for Peoples Baths, which started witt
ZOO members Of the N%ristocracy

SWEET OLD HYMNS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. cRozIER.

The sweet old hymns I have heard
for years.
Since Jesus has set me free:
They take me back to my boyhood
days.
When ! knelt at my mothers knee.
/ said that prayer and heard her sing,
None there but she and I;
"On Jordan's Stormy Banks l Stand.
And Cast a Wistful Eye"
How quickly the days and years pass
by,
And each brings us nearer the end;
But there's joy in my heart and my
soul each day
Because | am trusting that Friend.
Who will bring me home-where I'll
hear again
In that place where we1l be bye
and bye;
II is Jesus. Lover Of My Soul,
Let Me To Thy Bosom Fly"
How sweet is the JOY that comes into
my heart,
When feel I am saved by His
Grace:
How precious the thought when my
journey is done
l shall look in His dear loving face
In that blessed home, where no night
shall come,
III be free from all sickness and
pains;
Hear. There Is a Fountain Filled
With Blood
Drawn From Immanuels Veins
I am proud Of the path l am now
walking in,
And Jesus now dwels in my heart;
And His Blood shed for all. has
cleansed me from sin,
From Him ] shall never depart
Some day 7 will see Him, again hear
that hymn.
For I'm told, from my grave shall
rise,
When can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies.

why WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkhsm
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine7" "Are they truthful 2"
why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia f. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
