tee heard expert testimony as to guns, torpedoes, mines and other ardnance material from Rear Admiral Strauss. chief of ordnance.
 Adjutant Generals Sadler of New Jersey, and Dickson of Illinois. and former Adjutant General Critchfield of Ohio. testified that there virtually was no sentiment among the guardsmen in favor of the continental army plan. They contended that congress had full power to so nationalize the militia and that defects of the system pointed out by regular army officers could be cured.
 Colonel Critchfield said four reQui- sites were adequate compensation: Greater field training. clarification of the presidents authority over the na- tional guard and administration of mi litia affairs in the war department by officers in sympathy with the needs ana wishes of the forces General Dickson insisted that in any event the states should retain the right to use the militiamen in peace times Colonel M. M. Foreman, commanding the First Illinois cavalry, was the first line officer of the guard to be heard. Was emphatic in asserting that if the continental army were organized in-

MAY NEEDF FORGE IN MEDICATION
 OF OUR RIGHTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 2.-President Wilson today asserted the right of Americans to travel abroad and their factured products to peaceful popula- tions in neutral markets and wherever the conditions of war make fl possible to do so under the ordinary rules of international law.
 Tt may be necessary to use the force of the United States to vindicate the rights of American citizens to enjoy the protection of international law" he declared emphatically in Q speech before 1000 persons here. He urged the support of the people of Kansas in preparing that force for use, if necessary.
 When the president arrived in To- peka the applause which greeted him vas scattering In introducing him. Governor Arthur Capper said frankly ne thought many persons in Kansas opposed to great armaments. During lis speech the president declared that if Kansas were opposed to preparation for national defense, it was because some ore had misrepresented the ad- rinistration's policy and the audi ence jumped to it's feet to cheer.
 When he left Topeka thousands roared d friendly farewell.
 There is nothing you would be quicker to blame me for than for heglecting to safeguard the rights of Americans. no matter where they might be in the world the president said. There are clearly marked lights guaranteed by international law which every American is entitled to enjoy and America is not going to abide the habitual or continued ne glect of those rights.
 Perhaps not being as near the ports as some other Americans, yoU | dc not travel as much and do not realize the infinite number of legiti- mate errands upon which Americans travel; errands of commerce, errands of relief, errands of business for the i government, errandS of every sort which are making Americans useful to the world. Americans do not travel ! to disturb the world. They travel to l quicken the processes of the inter- i change of life and of goods in the world, and their travel here and there ought net to be impeded by reckless disregard of international obligations l There is another thing we ought to safeguard, and that is our right tf sell what we produce in the oper neutral markets of the world. Where there is blockade we recognize the ilocl:ade; where there are the ordi- nary restraints created by a state o1 war we ought to recognize those re straints, but the world needs tht wheat off the Kansas fields and of Towering acres of the United States

 SAN DIEGO, Feb 2-Little Moses Wilkes. year old son of a Sweetwater rancher, had far rougher time in the recent flood than did his predecessor of Biblical times in the olden days. according to a story received today. When the flood waters began to rush down the Sweetwater river, the mother of little Moses placed him on an improvised lift raft that had been near the edge of the river and Moses deposited on a mattress. While the remaining members of the family re- turned to the house to gather more food supplies the waters of the Sweetwster rose so swiftly that they soon started the raft and Moses down stream. The little sister of Moses realized what had happened and, rac- ing down the river bank, kept the raft in sight until it touched shore, wLen she rescued Moses from his perilous position. After effecting the rescue it vas necessary for the girl to walk miles with Moses in her arms before she reached shelter. Believing both children lost, Mrs. Wilkes col lapsed and is now reported seriously ill at tie nome of Mrs. G. D. Stead, near Jamacha.

GERMANY SEEMS LIKELY T0 H0LD
 APPAN AS PRIZE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. Qualifications that the British passenger liner Appam brought into Hampton Roads by German prize crew will be held by the United States to be a German prize of war and nor an auxiliary cruiser. /Were given tonight in high official quarters. The neutrality board, which advises the state department on such ques tions. announced today that the ship was prize. but the announcement was recalled later presumably because the state department itself has not acted.
 The real point to be decided is whether the Appam shall remain in possession of the prize crew under the terms If the PruSsian- American treaty or shall be returned to her British own CTS under The Hague convention. In dications were given that the state de- rartment will hold that the prize be- longs to Germany.
 Count Von BernstOrff. the German ambassador in a formal note to Secre- tary Lansing gave notice that the Ap- pam came into Hampton Roads under the treaty which guarantees her to her captors. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador. asked that the ship be returned to her British own CTS as prize recovered under The Hague convention.
 The Hague convention under article 2l provides for the internment of the crew and the surrender of the ship. but state department officials are doubt ful whether it can be applied to the case If the Appam, first because the Prusaian American treaty is believed to he binding. ard second because Great Britain signed out never rati- fled this particular Hague convention. Until the status of the ship is de- cided she will remain in the custody of Norfolk customs authorities and if | turned over to Germany may be kept | in port or sent to sea as the German government chooses.

Charles Shaffer cook, who died later was in sane when found on floating piece of wreokage.
