Commissioner Woods Takes Preeau-
tlons When Cruiser Washington
Came Into the New York
Navy Yard.

New York. - Believed to be IN
turtherance OF the aim of Police Com
missioner Arthur Woods TO protect
every arm Of the United States Navy
and Army when in this city from pos
sible damage at the hands Of spies or
other enemies Of the country, the
cruiser Washington came into the New
York Navy Yard Sunday under one OF
the strongest guards maintained in
this city in many years.
Extra policemen, whose only orders
were to watch every one, allow no
loitering and move back and FORTH y
we're stationed on the central spans Of
both the Brooklyn and Manhattan
Bridges, directly over the course the
warship must take to go to her moor
lngs. Six extra men we're placed on
the older bridge and four additional on
the newer, the full complement Of men
being II.
While every man pretended to be as
mystifed as the general public was,
the impression gained wide ground
that the unusual surveillance had been
brought about through the attempts
that had been made recently to iniure
United States warships by men who
have confessed to being German
agents acting directly or indirectly
under orders from the Imperial gov
ernment. These instances have awak'
ened Commissioner Woods to almost
the extreme limit Of precaution and
the keen scrutiny Of the policemen on
duty made II quite apparent that they
we're not on any ordinary patrol to
prevent photographers from taking pic
lures that would show too much OF
the detail Of the American war craft

mans Treatment Of Prison
ers-Raider Is Moewe.

Newport News, Va.-Nineteen days
Of ceaseless vigil for the short-handed
German prize crew aboard the former
British liner Appam ended here when
the last of more than 400 British
prisoners climbed over the ships side
to liberty on American soil. And for
the first time since Lieutenant Berg
and his % men boarded the liner from
the raider, which captured her on the
night OF January Is, most of the Ger
mans slept peacefully, with but a few
Of their number on watch.
All British subjects and the one ma
turalized American, G. A. Tagliaferri,
quit the ship, leaving the prize COM
mander with his crew and the 20 Ger
mans who had been prisoners on the
Appam, including three women.
Captain Harrison and the Appam's
British crew left their vessel only after
a sharp controversy between agents Of
the owners, the Elder-Denpsey Com
pany, and the British Embassy at
| washington. The company desired its
men to remain on the liner to support
! the claim that the Germans forfeit
their prize by remaining in neutral
waters. But the embassy insisted that
every British subject depart as soon as
permission had been granted by the
prize commander on the demand Of the
United States Government
Plans were changed every hour dur
ing the afternoon and evening, but the
embassy's authority prevailed finally
and a special boat was provided to
take the Appam's crew Of 1855 to Nor
folk to await the sailing OF steamer
for New York. Meanwhile the ia
passengers and the 1876 British seamen
captured with the other seven ships
taken by the raider Ponga or Moewe
had been transferred ashore by steam.
ers. Five of the seamen, one English
man and four Lascars Of the crew OF
the Clan MacTavish, all wounded
were removed to hospital. All the
others with most of the passengers
were placed aboard river steamers fol-
Norfolk. An Old Dominion liner was
being held at her dock to take them
to New FORK.
The British Government is carinf
for all passengers and crews Of the
captured freighter and will send then
on to England aboard the first avail
able ship. The Elder Dempster Com
pany will arrange for the return o.
the Appam's crew.
Lieutenant Berge. commanding the
prize ship Appam, talked for the frs
time OF his cruise. He ridiculed thu
suggestion that his raider was the new
fruit trader Ponga, insisting that sh'
was the Moewe. He confirmed the ac
counts OF his capture of the seven Eng
lish vessels and declared he had moth
ing to say regarding his future plans

LOGICAL STEPS.

LOGICAL STEPS.
Edith Smith Dairs, worlds and ma
tional w. G. T. u. superintendent Of
scientific temperance instruction In
public schools and colleges. says:
"The truth concerning temperance has
been In a deep we'll for generations
and there have been many logical
steps that we have been forced to
take in order to reach the water OF
truth. The first step is the scion
tific investigation which has shown
the poisonous nature Of alcohol. The
second step demonstrates the effect
of the poison upon various organs OF
the body. The third step makes clear
the fact that alcohol has special af-
finity for the brain and therefore af.
fects the moral character OF man.
The fourth step has proven that
drug that affects the organs OF the
body and Injuries moral character must
render less efficient the user OF IT..
and, therefore, its use becomes an
economic problem. The fifth step
places this experimental truth with
all its resultant conclusions in a form
whereby the largest number OF people
may be instructed, that is, in text
books containing scientific facts con-
cerning alcohol. The sixth step is tho
placing OF the facts In the school cur
riculum and making the text books
and the scientific charts a part OF
public temperance education. The
public school is the most democratic
institution in the world and is more
than that; It is, as DR.. Newell d. Hills
says, the machine which takes In all
kinds OF material and grinds 1t out
made over into good American citi-
zens.' In this fact we see the pos
sibility of our reaching the final step
to our goal"
