Norfolk, Va, Feb. 8.-Was the
Moewe, posing as tramp, merely a
stool pigeon of the German armored
cruiser Room in effecting the capture
of the Appam off the Canaries, and
making her eighth victim in a single
weeks raid on British commerce?
An affirmative answer to this ques-
ton was brought ashore by credible
persons on the Appam. The authority
was a British naval officer, prisoner.
Only few of the members of the
prize crew carry the Moewe's name on
their cap bands. Others carry the
name Ponga. British naval reservists
say they recognized an officer of the
Room among those who came aboard
the Appam and the name of this ship

Warmer Weather is Promised BY the
Local Government Bureau for
Tonight and Wednesday.

Rise in Temperature at This Time
Would Swell Rivers, Which
Recently Have Fallen.

Rise in temperature, promised by
the weather bureau for tonight and
tomorrow. is looked upon with feel
ing of apprehension by those who are
directly affected in the event Of the
swelling of the Mississippi and Rock
rivers.
The weather bureau forecasts:
Unsettled weather tonight and We'd
nesday: probably snow; warmer to-
night with the lowest temperature to-
night 20 degrees above zero
If the weather develops as predicted
the temperature will reach the highest
during the past week and possibility
of a thaw coming at this time IS
stronger than it has been at any time
since the last warm rain. A thaw
would swell the rivers again, the eX-
tent of rise depending Of course on the
mildness of the weather and the length
of time it remains.

md filter plant in the way of remov-

,soort concludes with the statement
IA. the water is absolutely safe for
drinking purposes
Figures provided by the university
,u,horities give an idea of what is &C
,mplished at the Moline plant in the
rsv Of purifying the mud and bac-
,sria-laden water of the Mississippi
river

WAS turned into the mains for con-
sumption by the public it contained II
bacteria to the cubic inch, none Of
which was Of harmful variety. This
shows that the efficiency Of the Moline
nlsnt in purifying water is slightly
better than 999 per cent.
Similar success is noted in remov-
iug mud from the water, the report Of
the state university authorities shows.
approximately 100000 gallons of
water are used by the city Of Moline
every day. Before the 100000 gal
Ions are turned into the mains, accord
ing to the report, 10000 pounds, or
four tons, of mud are taken from it.
The percentage of efficiency in this
respect is about 96. City Chemist
Fritze stated today that it would be
possible to make the water clearer
than it is. but to remove the compare
lively small amount of color that re-
mains when it is turned into the mains
would cost nearly as much as it does
10 remove the first 5000 pounds OF
mud, which makes the color. AS the
color of the water has absolutely moth
ing to do with its purity as regards its
safeness or unsafeness to drink, the
city does not feel justified in making
the additional expenditure.
By spending several hundred dollars
more the water could be made to loof
better, but it would not be any better

Her waterline length is 403 feet 8
inches, her beam is 65 feet inches,

If it is the Room that is directing the
operations of the tramp, it will be seen
that she is capable of making much
trouble, and that such another tale as
the Appam brought may be, even now,
on its way. The Room would be able
to stand off or sink any small cruisers
that would perhaps be chosen for the
hunting down Of such a foe as the
Moewe. 1t would be necessary to
weave a dragnet from far stronger
meshes than scouts if the Room were
to be rounded up.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, ap-
ply it at night when retiring use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adv.

,Omaha's Bohemian daily relates ar
interesting, though accidental, inter
view between Senator Hitchcock and
the editor of that paper which took
place last TuesdaNafternoon. The &C
count OF it, as translated from Bohe.
milan, is as follows:
The senator called upon one OIL
Omaha's prominent business men, and
whom should he come upon but Vac
Buresh, publisher Of the Bohemian
Daily ,Pokrok. Mr.. Buresh was one
of the signers OF letter sent to the
Observation-Disclosures in the state call
ing attention to Senator Hitchcocks
un-American and un-neutral stand
when he sought to impose an embargo
on the expectation Of arms, even after
the president and the State depart
ment declared that such an embargo
would violate true neutrality.
On account OF this action of Blu
resi- the senator has not very tender
spot in his heart for him. Conse-
quently there took place the follow
ing more OF less heated dialogue:
Senator Hitchcock (heatedly); "Bu-
resh, why did you attack me SO vi
ciously in that letter? / notice that
you were one OF the signers Of it."
Buresh Gin his calm and drawing
manner): II not only signed the let
ter, but wrote most Of it; but you are
mistaken when you say that ! at
tackled you. have said nothing
against you personally; | simply
wanted to point out that your act in
trying to force an embargo on arms
was un-American, un-neutral and ia
voring one class OF citizens as against
the other. That was all. In that let
ter the Bohemian voters are asked to
