GERMAN RAIDER IS
ROAMING HIGH SEA
HAS ON BOARD THE CREWS OF
FIVE VESSELS AND LOOKING
FOR MORE.
Steamer Given Up for Lost Sails Into
Hampton Roads In Charge Of Ger
man Crew, Crossing Ocean
Through British Fleet.

Norfolk, Va--Given up for lost
days ago, the British passenger liner
Appam, plying in the West African
trade. sailed like an apparition in
Hampton Roads on Tuesday, flying
the German naval ensign and with
her ships company under guard of a
German prize crew.
She brought word of a mysterious
German commerce raider, the Moewe.
on board the crews Of seven British
merchantmen and admiralty trans
ports captured by the Moewe before
she seized the Appam and started her
across the Atlantic for an American
port with Lieutenant Hans Berge,
of the German naval reserve, and
twenty-five men in charge.
The Appam now lies off Old Point
Comfort, under the guns of Fortress
Monroe, waiting for the state depart
ment at Washington to determine
her status-whether she is a man of
war subject to internment or Ger
man prize.
According to the story told with
great reserve by Lieutenant Berge to
Collector Hamilton, when he formally
reported his presence in American
territorial waters, the Moewe cap
tured the Apam, bound from Dakar,
French West Africa, for Liverpool,
after a brief show Of resistance on
January 16, sixty miles north of the
Madeira islands On board the
Moewe then were the crews Of FIVE
vessels previously captured, all Of
whom were transferred to the Appam.
From all reports, the raider is a
converted German merchantmen with
"a large battery of guns of fairly large
false battery of guns of fairly large
oaliber. On January IL she engaged
Jin battle an Australian. trader, the
Clan McTayish, which she sank after
IAN exciting combat with loss of
fifteen men killed on the Clan Nc
lavish. The Appam, which was ten
miles away at the time in charge of
the prize crew, steamed hurriedly
back to the scene and rescued four
members Of the crew of the sinking
Clan McTavis struggling in the
water
Later. under orders from the com.
mander of the raider Lieutenant
Berge headed his prize for an Ameri.
can port and parted company with the
Moewe. Nothing has been seen OF
heard of the raider since, and the Ap-
pam steamed across the ocean on an
uneventful voyage. reaching the Vir
ginia capes at 5:45 Tuesday morning
On board the Appam all told are
ASP persons. the prize crew of %;
twenty German civilians who are on
their way to England for internment
1913 seamen captured with the British
ships; 116 passengers on the Appam
and the Appam's crew of 155.

MANY MEET DEATH
WHEN DAM BREAKS
WALL OF WATER THIRTY FEET
HIGH BUSHES DOWN VALLEY
CARRYING ALL BEFORE 1T.
Warning Of impending Disaster Had
Been Given Residents, But Few
Needing It, Preferrina to Stay
by Their Homes.

San Diego.-Reports received Sun
day from fiood-rayaged valleys Of San
Diego county showed that 8 total Of
thirty-four bodies had been recover
ed, and raised estimates of the total
death toll to sixty-fiye. Three thou
sand persons were homeless and there
was much suffering despite heroic re-
lief work.
Reported breaking Of the Cuyamaca
dam, releasing three billion gallons OF
water. eighty miles northeast of here,
and fear that other dams in territory
already partly flooded might go out
under the enormous pressure Of their
mountain waters, added further gloom
to the food situation.
United States marines and sailors
continued to search for victims and
to check widespread footing. Many
bodies, it is believed, were carried out
| to sea.
Many met death and the property
loss was appalling when on Friday
the lower dam Of the San Diego
water system in the otay valley,
south Of here, broke under the heavy
pressure of the flood, waters. A wall
of water thirty feet high was re-
LEASED.
Sweeping down the valley, the great
flood water carried people, livestock
and valuable farm property to de-
struction Houses on twenty-five
ranches were swept away.
The heavy rains had filed the
lower Otay dam for the first time in
its history
Unable longer to Withstand the ter
rife weight of the water, the dam
gave way, releasing food of water.
| Warnings OF the impending danger
of the break had been given to the
people In the valley, but few needed
them, it was said, choosing to stay

war"
THE navy is ready at any time to
go into war" the president said. 1T
Is efficient, though inadequate"
The vast hall was as quiet as a
death chamber when he made the dra-
matte statement. The president later
stirred the assemblage to vigorous ap-
plause by declaring that this war was
brought on by rulers. and not by the
people"
The applause lasted for several sec.
onds. When it subsidized the president
continued vigorously:
"And / thank God there is no man
In America who can bring war on
without the consent of the people"
This stirred the crowd to vigorous
applause.
1t was the presidents fifth speech
of the day. He had journeyed from
Cleveland to Milwaukee and back to
Chicago since midnight Sunday night
!, sut he did not show the effects of his
arduous day. He was, IL anything
more vigorous in his delivery thar
ever. He seemed inspired by his bis
/ audience.
