EXTRAORDINARY FEATS PERFORMED
 BY SUCCESSOR OF THE EMDEN
BEATS ALL NAVAL EXPLOITS

NORFOLK, Feb. 2-Gater)- Gradually the full story of the Appam is becoming known but even now all has not been learned It has been discovered that the yes sel which captured the liner was not submarine but was commerce raider which escaped from Kie canal and got through the British bockadng warships successfully After getting into the open sea the raider captured sey era ships of the allied nations and sank them after hav ing taken the passengers aboard She travelled right down the coast of Europe and is believed she destroyed several important vessels as the waters in which she steamed are usually much travelled. When the Appam was captured the commander of the raider placed Lieu
 tenant Berg charge of the prize and gave him twenty two men as prize crew Three hundred people who had been taken from other captured ships also placed aboard the Appam and she then headed across the Atlantic for America The number of her own passengers is something over three hundred that she arrived with more than six hundred people aboard The whole thing is regarded as the most remarkable naval occurrence of the war There is no likelihood that the German crew will attempt to take the vessel away and the intention un dOubtedy to leave the vessel here and have her nterned for the duration of the In that way, it is assumed the Germans consider her out of commission just much as if she had been sunk

MISSING SHIP WAS GATHERED

NORFOLK, Va. Feb 1.-The African liner Appam which had been missing for two weeks and which was be-
 eved to have been lost off the coast of Morocco arrived in Hampton Roads this morning in charge of German submarine crew. The immigration officers have refused admittance to the vessel and will give no information about it but the capture of the vessel is regarded the most extraordinary occurrence of the whole war The Appa was on her way from French Senegal to Liverpool with four hundred passengers when she disappeared. She was given up for lost and not word was heard of her until she appeared off this coast When she left Sene gal she had aboard hundred German prisoners who had been captured during the fighting in West Africa and who were their way England to be placed with the other prisoners When the vessel was held up and taken possession the submarine the prisoners were berat ed and placed charge of the ship by the submarine com
 mander During the journey across it is said the iber- ated prisoners kept the regular passengers and crew in subjection and prevented attempts at an uprising.

ANDERSONS LOSE ALL
 IN THE CABIN FIRE

Bert Anderson and Joe Anderson lost everything but what they had on their backs" as one of them says, when the cabin in which they were tying was destroyed by fire between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning. The cabin is the one owned by Dr. Allen who formerly had a drug store here. The Andersons had rented it, furnish ed it and were living in it, Joe was at work in the post office and Bert had gone out for a bucket of water when the blaze started. He believes the fire in the stove must have start ed the blaze and Fire Chief Horner 's of the opinion that a spark flew out of the stove. Whatever the cause was the cabin was ablaze when Bert re- turned The fire department was right on the spot immediately but the interior of the place was consumed. The tenants lost all their clothes and personal belongings. Bert also lost part of his business stock.

TWO FIRE ALARMS FOR
 VERY SAME HOUSE

In addition to the fire which destroyed the cabin just off Fourth avenue today there were also two alarm" which came from ore house. This house is owned by Wm. Me Neiley and is next to his hotel It is occupied by Mrs. James and her son, L. L. James, Jr. At about 9 a. m. someone told Mrs. James that the house was afre in a casual manner and, sure enough, there was smoke issuing from the place where the pipe goes through the roof. Ray Ashcroft and some others put it out and all was tranquil again for quite awhile until Miss Carlson informed Mrs. James that tho house was afre once more. With the experience gain ed in the first fire Leander easily ex- tinguished the second, he says. The alarms were caused by the igniting of creOsOte.

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
 SYSTEM FOR SEWARD

Inspired by an uncOnquerable sense of honor and righteousness the inner cabinet of Stewards municipal gov ernment last night began the work of making the Australian ballot system the system which will prevail here in future. An ordinance will be introduc- ed later so that some more printing can be done at the expense of the city. This council has now passed a number of ordinances that will make it go down in history as the greatest law-making body of this or any other time. The introduction of the Aus tralian system is said to have been made legal by an act of the Juneau legislature, but whether the Juneau legislature could enact such law still remains to be seen.

LARGEST ALASKAN CIRCULATE ON
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-01-15

Fringoes' are justly indignant lat ,hls latest crime. But it was just the sort of crime that might have been committed upon our own plains fitiy or sixty years ago. Any party tf white men. whatever might have been their nationality, which under took to travel these plains in those days without adequate escort, would have courted a fate similar to that which overlook the party of Amer jeans at Santa Isabel.
 Carranza probably Is doing what he can to pacify Mexico and to restore semblance of order and psace throughout the republic. but Car ranza has q task on his hands which will require many weary months to accomplish. To the extent that hs did not furnish an escort cf troops foi these murdered Americans, he Is responsible for their deaths. And to the extent that he does not exert every effort within his power to Seek out and punish tho murderers, he will Dc culpable. But the fact remains that these Americans, knowing the coalitions in the Chihuahua moun- te'ns, having repeatedly been warneA hy their own government to leave Mexico and stay away. took a chance and met death at the hands of a gang of savages.
 The people of this country have Il right to feel outraged by this dia- bnlical crime. but they have waited
 patiently many long months for the process of law and authority to assert tsGms selves in stricken Mexico and ltiey cannot afford at this late day to lose all hope and all compassion for the predicament in which those who are striving to give Mexico I government find themselves.
 We have no doubt that the day of |recompense will ccme for Villa and lis associates. It may be slow in ar
 irving. but no one can bring order icut of chaos in a day, and least of
 all could Carranza or any other Mexi- can leader establish crdsr in those lGistricts of Mexico given over to
 robbery and murder and brigandage
 in the short time that has elapsed
 s.hce his government was recognized.

SOME BLESSINGS OF \ SMALL
 TlWN


 One blessing enjoyed by small town is that 1t lacks the dance halls connected with vice joints, the gilded sa. .ocn connected with a gambling he'll and numerous other devices of the evil.
 The small town is a place primar- fly for pue living. The impure, ,putrid, immoral and unclean soon tire of life in small town; they usually go to the nearest large city. And t IS good riddance.
 Despite the spectacular attempts of Chicago, for instance. to elevate its morals through the efforts of the po- lice: despite the efforts of Phila- eelphia to sauelch the practices Of its underworld, all of these cities must admit defeat.
 A small town does not require sach intense regulation there is n< thing of the sort to regulate. The worst it combats against is Qquor selling at illegal hours. in such towns |Mhere Demon Rum is still permitted |te exist.
