NORFOLK, May l2.-British owners of the German prize ship Appam began their effort to recover possession of the vessel in federal court here today with the submission of a letter from Secretary Lansing to the German am bassador at Washington expressing the opinion that the Appam did not fall under the protecting clauses of the Prussian American treaty.

This Mexican inquired of a neighbor last night if Curtis Bayles was at home. saying he was going to ] assist in irrigating work on the Bayles | farm. A short time after, Bayles was | assassinated.

 It was understood tonight that the German ambassadors reply, sharply combating the position of Secretary Lansing, which never has been made public would be submitted to the court later by the German counsel, and that a rejoinder from the secretary might also be put in evidence.
 The Appam's position when captured was given by her officers today as about 100 miles from the point given by Lieutenant Berg. The owners say she was about 1500 miles nearer Emden than Norfolk, and that her captors were bound by International law to take her into the German port rather than across the Atlantic.

The Useful Quail.

In a plea for the bobwhite, w. l..
Nelson, assistant secretary of the
board Of agriculture, states that a
count of the seed in one birds crop
revealed that bobwhites are known to
eat at least 85 kinds of weed seed
For meat he chooses among 81 kinds
OF beetles, q kinds of bugs, 8 kinds
of grasshoppers, 10 kinds of caterpil-
lars and variety of ants, flies and
wasps. One bobwhite has been known
to eat as many as five thousand plant
lice in two hours, and he is fond of
boil weevils, chinchbugs, cabbage
worms, cucumber beetles, squash bugs,
army worms and Hessian flies.
And yet there are farmers who are
willing to have all the bobwhites on
their farms killed. Shooting the hired
man would be more logical. The hired
man demands wages, while the bob
white works for nothing.-St. Louis

To Prevent Trains Being Blown Away

The danger of trains being blown off
the rails, not uncommon on light, mar
row-gauge railroads, has been virtu-
ally eliminated on q stretch Of 80
miles along the Atlantic coast of Ire
land, forming part of the West Clare
Railway. An inventor devised for the
railway a pressure-tube thermometer,
with electrical apparatus for giving
two warnings by ringing bell in the
statlonmaster's house, the first when
the velocity of the wind reached 65
miles an hour and the second when
it reached So miles an hour. When
the first warning is given, over ton
of movable ballast, kept for the pur-
pose at every station, is placed on
each vehicle Of any train on the line
ut the first station 1t reaches. When
the second signal is given, trains are
stopped until the storm abates.

UNITED STATES FAR IN LEAD
More Than 100000 Miles of Railroad
Are Now in Daily Operation in
This Country.

Vast is the only term that can be
United States.
With its more than 100000 miles Of
railroads (257,569) the United States
not only leads every other nation in
the world, but exceeds by $4,000 miles
the total railroad mileage of Europe.
In fact, it has two-thirds as much mile
age as all the rest of the world COM
bined. The length of tracks, including
nous total of 391 900 miles-enough to
reach around the earth and moon and
with a surplus sufficient to girdle the
globe six times. Over these tracks 65,-
600 locomotives are operated, draw
ing 2,327,000 cars. The average num-
Der of employees of all the railroads in
the United States whose annual oper-
ating revenues amounted to 100000
number of miles of road coming under
this classification being about 225,O00.
The total compensation paid these en-
ployees was $1,165,OO0,000, an amount
exceeding the total revenues Of the
United States government for 1914
by more than $12O,OOO,OOO. The aver
age yearly wage of railroad employees
is therefore 1926.
Among the railroad employees in
1914 the largest average daily compen-
sation went to general officers, $1605
with other officers ranking second
$64S. Third In line of average daily
compensation were the enginemen,
1924, followed by conductors, SAT-.
For the II months ending June 30.
1915, our railroads carried 976,O00,000
passengers, 76,000,000 fewer than dur
ing the previous IL months. These
travellers paid the roads $646, 100000,
about &c cents each, and the average
receipts passenger mile were frac-
ton under two cents. The number Of
tons of producing freight han
died was 1,S06,OO0,OOO for which ship
pers paid the roads 81 ,977 100000. The
average freight rate ton per mile for
these shipments was little less than
| three-quarters of a cent.

Railroads In Equipment Mart.

Buying of equipment on a large
scale by the railroads is becoming in
creasingly apparent. The carriers are
becoming a big factor in the steel
market, as result of orders for more
than $4,000 cars having been placed
in the last five weeks, with 10000
more pending. The carriers also are
buying structural steel and have or
dered 100000 tons of rails for 1918
delivery, the rail orders going in at
the advance of So a ton over the
price that prevailed for so many
years.
Railroads are not buying because
they prefer to buy at this time of year
or for any other reason that might be
classed as choice. They are buying
because they must, regardless of
price, deliveries or anything else
Prices are mounting steadily and the
roads have abandoned the notion that
by waiting until winter or spring they
can obtain better prices or earlier de.
liveries.
