STATE DEPARTMENT
CONSIDERS CASE
Status of British Liner Brought in By
German Crew Is Difficult Problem
Passengers To Be Freed.

Washington d. G.. Feb. 2.-Secretary 2.
of State Lansing said early to-day that
the state department had nto yet reached
decision as to its attitude toward the
British liner Appam which was brought
into Hampton Roads by a German crew
Yesterday. The formalities surrounding
the release of the passengers and other
non-combatants on the ship will be tax
en- up to-day. Any prisoners of war will
be released, because the law permits no
holding of war prisoners in neutral
country.
The United States, then, finally, will
have to deal with the German crew un-
der Lieutenant Berge, and if they are
accounted in the naval service of Ger
many as were the crews of the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and the Kronproinz Will
helm, already interned at the Norfolk
yard, they too will be interned unless
their ship goes to sea to run the Gordon
of British cruisers outside.
As to the disposition of the Appam her
self, if she is held to be an auxiliary
cruiser, her commander will have the OPP
tion of putting to sea after a certain
time to make repairs and take provis
ions. If she is declared prize the sit
uation becomes more complicated, and in
that event it is admitted that the United
States viii have to deal with probably
the most novel question concerning its
neutrality that has arisen during the
war.
1t was pointed out at the state depart
ment that there is much confusion in the
treaties and provisions of international
law on the subject of prizes; the right
to convert captured vessels into auxiliary
warships and the right of reclamation by
the original owners, etc.

COMBINED LAND
ATTACK EXPECTED
Dispatches from the Bal
kans Say the Germans,
Bulgarians, and 10000
Turks Are Preparing for a
Great Offensive Movement

Military operations along the various
fronts appear pretty much at stand
still for the moment. Aerial movements
have constituted the chief activities OF
late except for German advances at inn
portant sectors of the line in France.
Satisfaction is expressed in German
newspapers over the latest Zeppelin at
tack on England, the military impor-
tance of the localities visited baing em-
phasized.
Indications of possible notable deyel-
opments in the Balkans are contained in
to-day's dispatches. One from Athens
declares that, according to information
in military quarters, the Germans and
Bulgarians, together with force Of
10000 Turks. are likely to begin an
attack on Saloniki the middle of this
month.
In Mesopotamia, the British are still
being prevented from attempting an ad.
vance, owing to the prevalence of bad
weather and floods.

rious vessels sunk by the Germans then
were placed aboard the Appam.
"When the race for Hampton Roads
started member of the prize crew was
stationed at the wireless for the purpose
of receiving all messages but to send
none. BY this method the whereabouts
OF the British cruisers patrolling the reg
ular ocean lanes were always known TO
Lieutenant Berge, who steered far out OF
reach of them.
"The crew and passengers OF the cap
tured vessel were given daily exercise
but only in small numbers at a time.
Thus il was very easy for the few Ger
mans to control several hundred cap
tives."
The crew and passengers, according to
Foster, had no complaint to make over
their treatment.
