APPAM CASE
MAY 0UTLAST WAR
Appeal to Supreme Court Would
Delay Decision at Least a
Year.

The state Department expects post
ponement until after the war Of nnal
decision in the Apram case. which was
decided In favor OF the British owners
and against the German prize crew by
the Federal court at Norfolk yesterday.
1t is believed certain the case will be
taken to the Supreme Court of the
United states by the German govern
ment. In the normal course Of events
a decision would not be reached for q
year, and It Is not expected the court
will advance a case the settlement OF
which during the war might cause
Diplomatic embarrassment.
The immediate question brought be-
fore the State Department to decide IL
what disposition to make Of the APP
pants, crew. The courts decision TAX
inG the vessel away from the prise
Grew leaves the German sailors In
much the same situation as the crews
OF the Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz
Eitel Friedrich now ihterned at Nor
folk. 1t is believed the same dis
position will be made OF the Appam
crew.
The State Department has no voice in
the disposition OF the vessel or cargo.
since that rests with the courts.
An appeal to the Supreme Court will
be the next step In the case of the cap
tured British merchantmen Appam, yes
tcrday adjudged the property Of her
English owners against the contention
Of the German prize crew who brought
her into Norfolk last February. The
Supreme Court decision will settle the
principle involved and prevent future
combinations, IL Is hoped.

FEARING EPIDEMIC
Thirteenth Coast Artillery, N. Y.
NC, Ordered Demobilized.

Secretary Of War Baker today con-
fiYmsd the report that the Thirteenth
Coast Artillery of the New York Ma
tional Guard had been ordered to de-
mobilize when about to leave for SUM
mer camp in Maine, as precautionary
move against the spread Of infantile
paralysis.
. Protests were received at the War
Department from residents Of the sum-
mer colonies near the artillery camp." "
permitting soldiers from the heart OF
the infantile paralysis district to come
into q community with . large number
Of children. I took the matter up with
General Scott, chief Of staff. and he
agreed with me that under the circum-
stances It was necessary for the artil-
lery to 70 to camp"
The precautionary move BY the War
Department was taken through fear
that there might be infantile paralysis
carriers among the guardsmen through
whom the paralysis scourge might
gain q foothold among the summer va
cationists In the Maine resorts.
