LAW OF THE CASE.
Treaties Being Studied to Determine
Status of Affair.

| Status Of Affair.
| Washington, Feb. 2.-The state de-
partment indicated today that If the
| liner Appam is held to be prize, the
Prussian American treaty Of 1928 Is
moro likely to govern the case than Is
The Hague convention. This would
mean that the Appam would be turned
over to the German captors and in
that case some German officials Sex-
! pressed the view that the prize crew,
rather than let her fall back into the
hands Of the British, might take the
| ship to the three-mile limit and sink
her. S . E 49, : E
In case she is held to have become a
German feet auxiliary she will have
the choice of leaving port after a cer-
tain time for supplies Or repairs or
interned for the war, as have the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and the Kronprinz
Wilhelm.
Old Treaty Recalled.
The original Prussian treaty Of 17ss
provided:
"The vessels OF war, public ana pri-
vate, Of both parties. shall carry freely
wheresoever they please the vessels
and effects taken from their enemies
without being obliged to pay any
duties, charges or fees to officers OF
admiralty, or the customs or. any 9TH
ers; nor shall prizes be arrested.
searched or put under legal process
when they come to and enter the ports
Of the other party, but may be freely
carried out again at any time by their
captors to the places expressed in their
commissions which commanding Of
icers Of such vessels shall be obliged
to show. M
But conformably to the treaties ex-
listing between the United States and
Great Britain, no vessel that shall have
made prize on British subjects shall
have right of shelter in ports Of the
United States. but II forced therein by
tempest or any, other danger or acci-
dent ofsthe, sea. they shall be obliged
TO depart as soon as3 possible"
This latter provision would have
compelled the departure Of the Appam
to the almost certain fate of the Brit
ish cruisers off the capes. but the
treaty expired by Limitation In 1910.
/ When 1t was renewed this latter pro-
vision which removed British vessels
| from the scope OF the articles was
eliminated and the treaty of 1928, now
in force. gives German prizes the right
to come and go. z

PLAN YOUR BACK
YARD GARDEN ON PAPER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. TO-
"Plan your backyard garden on pa
per in advance" is the advice of the
vegetable garden specialists of the U.
S. department of agriculture. A lit
tie indoor gardening of this sort will
enable you to have fresh vegetables
thruout the season and will make the
same ground, with little extra labor
and expense, yield two or three crops
instead of the single crop commonly
raised in small gardens. Where two
or three crops are grown instead OF
one, comparatively small garden
will supply the average family with
fresh vegetables all season. More
over, such planning in advance will
enable you to get the ground ready
in time for planting and to secure
your seeds and plant them at the
dates which give each variety its
best growing conditions. For exam
pie, if you will thus plan the plot to
be devoted to peas, by the time your
first crop is harvested, the second
crop will be bearing, and the plants
Of the third well advanced.
All the tools that are necessary for
indoor gardening, which can be made
an interesting recreation for the en-
tire household, are large sheet Of
wrapping paper, ruler and a pencil.
After looking over the garden and
selecting the plot of ground best suit
ed for your purpose, measure this
and outline it on paper on a scale
of one-fourth or one-eighth of an
inch to the foot.
Next, study your garden bulletins
or books on horticulture and the seed
catalogs to determine what can be
grown in your climate under the con
ditions of exposure, soil and drain.
