BERLIN COURTS RULING
ON APPAM FORMALITY
Decision Does Not Influence
United States Stand,
Still Pending
Bu a stan correapordert

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The decision
of the Berlin prize court as TO the cargo in
the Appam is n mere formality and does
not decide the problem whether the German
raider has the right to bring its prize into
our ports This question is still pending
before the prze court of the United States.
The situation as explained by an official
of the State Department is as follows:
THE United States has not yet decided
whether under our treaties foreign Power
can bring prize court to our harbors. This
point is under settlement now. In case we
should decide TO the contrary Captain Berg
might be ordered to leave with his prize
However, the decision will not be made for
many months, and in either event 1t is
believed that the Supreme Court of the
United States will be asked to give final
decision.
The decision of the German Prize Court
follows naturally and has no bearing upon
tho final decision of our courts, unless we
should determine that under our treaties
Germany could bring a prize vessel here.
(The Prize Court at Berlin yesterday de-
cded that the Appam was a good prize"
Ind that accordingly the gold on board the
steamship, amounting to $4,000 marks
(sls4,760) should be turned over to the
Re!chstag)

BALTIMORE, July 26.-Captain Koenig
and his crew had one besettlng fear TODAY
over success Of the return trip Of their
submarine merchantmen Deutschland.
That was the possibility that Ally patrols
on the Virginia Capes would be so jealous
to capture the submarine that they would
overstep the three-mlle limit line. Mys-
terlous n1aneuvers of the Ally guardships
and the contraction of their line gave basis
for their fear.
And while Koenlg waited upon the arrival
OF the sister ship Bremen, a British tramp

ments Immediately. Only a few hundred

The screen of barges and burlap curtains
surrounding the Deutschland at her dock
was carefully gone over today, and every
tiny peep-hole that might afford q glimpse OF
the submarine was patched. The burlap
curtains were enlarged to stretch from the
top OF the barges to the water-line, and
after the work was done the Deutschland
was invisible. The work was done before
dawn. and It was the only activity that
could be dlscerned about the submarine
