Washinton, February 2.-Indications that the British passenger liner Appam, brought into Hampton Roads by Ger man prize crew, will be held by the Uni ted States to be a German prize of war and not an auxiliary cruiser, were given tonight in high official quarters.
 The neutrality board, which advises the state department on such questions, de- cided today that the ship was a prize. An announcement to that effect was made but was recalled, presumably be- cause 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 of the Prussian-American treaty, or shaii be returned to her British owners under The Hague convention. Indications were given that the state department will hold that the prize belongs to Germany.
 ENTER RIVAL CLAIMS
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ann bassador, in formal note to Secretary Lansing, gave notice that the Appanl came into Hampton Roads under the treaty which guarantees her to her cap tors Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador asked that the ship be re turned to her British owners as a. prize recovered under The Hague convention. The Prussian-American treaty. under l as follows
 ''The vessels of war, public and private, of both parties shall carry freely where sover they please the vessels and effects taken from their enemies without being obliged to pay any duties, charges or fees to officers of admiralty or the GUS toms, or of any others; nor shall such prizes be arrested, searched, or put un- der legal process when they come to and enter the ports of the other party, but may freely be carried out again at any time by their captors to the places ex- pressed in their commission, which the commanding officer of such sel shall be obliged to show
 But, conformably to the treaties ex' isting between the United States and Great Britain no vessel that shall have made prize upon British subjects shall have a right to shelter in the ports of the United States, but if forced therein by tempest, or any other danger. or ac- cident of the sea- they shall be obliged to depart as soon as possible"
 The Hague convention, under article 21 provides for the internment e the crew and the surrender of the ship, but state department officials are doubtful that it can be applied to the case of the Appam, first because the Prussian-American treaty is believed to be binding and, sec ord, because Great Britain signed but never ratified this particular Hague con vention.
 REMAIN AT NORFOLK
 Until the status of the ship is decided she will remain in the custody of Norfolk customs authorities. and if r. d over to Germany. may be kept in port or sent

Kansas City, Mo-, February 2.-Pres- ideut Wilson demanded tonight that steps be begun during the present month to back him up in defending American lives and commerce abroad.

 When the President ceased speaking he leaned forward and asked the great thronG to join him in singing "Amer- ic... The band played softly, tac' au- dience stood and the words of Amer ica's national anthem came in gIor- ious burst of song.
 The big crowd was for the Presi- 1y an hour to see him and cheered it. self hoarse in three minute demon stration when he appeared. Sixteen thousand heard him. 10000 were turned away, and 10000 more tried to get a glimpse of him as he left his hotel for the hall.
 ANSWER TO APPEAL
 ''Why, some men in Washington are questioning if we could get the 5OO,00e men for which the government is ask ing,' he said at one point of his ad- dress Would they volunteer?"
 A man in the far end of the hall shouted his answer over the heads of the crowd "Yes!" he cried.
 A dozen men--a e-fifty-echoed the word and the hall was in tur- moil President Wilson then held out his hand.
 eWhy, I believe he said as the tu- mutt died, you could raise the 500,000 men in almost any state. I believe you could get 5000 men right here in this audience.
 q have been thrilled by the ex- periences of these last few days" the President said, "and I will go home to Washington and smile at the gen tlemen who say the United States is not awake.
 Those gallant men who sit on the hill in Washington and make our laws are going to deliver the goods" The crowd cheered Don't misunderstand me; they are going to deliver the goods because you want the goods delivered
