SHIPS STAY Indefinite,
is GERMANY'S CONTENTION
Berlin Foreign Office Claims Right
for Captured Liner Appam Un-
der Prussian Treaty.

Germany contends that the British
liner Appam brought to Hampton roads
by German prize crew is entitled, I'M
der the terms of the Prussian-American
treaty. to remain in American waters
indefinitely, and in support of her posi-
ton Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. has presented to Secretary
Lansing a formal communication on be-
half of the Berlin foreign office.
The United States has decided that
the treaty guarantees the ship to the
Germans as a prize, as against her
return to her British owners. but it
has not decided how long she shall
be permitted to remain in American
waters.
To accept the German contention
would mean that the Appam would be
permitted to remain until the end of
the war. To compel her departure
would mean sure capture by the allied
cruisers outside the Virginia capes.
There is no indication of how soon a
decision may be announced.
