Neutrality Board Holds That
.Appam Is a German Prize

OLD POINT COMFORT, Feb. "A
naturalized American citizen, G. A. Tag
liaferri, was discovered by immigration
Inspector Morton today aboard the APP
pam. Morton Immediately served writ
ten notice on Lieutenant Berg to re-
lease the American citizen. When Berg
made no response Morton reported the
case to Washington. Tagliaferri was
naturalized in Eureka county, Nevada.
He had been in Secconpe mining gold
and was on his way home via Liverpool.
He had not made known to Lieutenant
Berg that he was an American citizen,
but he produced his second naturaliza .
ton papers when Inspector Morton ap-
peared.
Prince Won hatfield, counsellor
of the German embassy at Washington
said after his interview with Lieutenant
Berg today that the Appam was cap
tured by the Moswe. He declined to state
the location of the Moewe at the time.
Captain Harrison, commanding the
British steamer Appam before taken by
the Germans, however, reported to Elder
Dempster company of Ne wYork, agents
for owners of the Appam, that it was
not the German raider Moewe that put
a pre- crew on his vessel. He said, how
ever, he knew the name of the German
craft.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Feb. 1.-The
British passenger liner Appam. which
had not been heard from since January
Is, four days out from Dakar, British
West Africa, for Plymouth, England, and
for whose safety grave apprehension
has been expressed in British shipping
circles, arrived in Hampton Roads this
morning at 6:45 o'clock in charge of a
prize crew of twenty, commanded by
Lieutenant Berge, of the German navy.
which was placed aboard the Appam
when she was captured Off the Canary
islands by a German raider.
Whether the captor was a German u
boat or a hitherto unreported German
auxiliary cruiser is undetermined. From
what was learned by some of the off,
Gals who boarded the Appam il is be-
lieved some steamer, armed as Ger
man auxiliary, raiding shipping off the
African coast took the British liner and
put the prize crew aboard.
GERMAN CRUISER OUT?
This view is supported by the fact
that a submarine could hardly have
spared a lieutenant and such a large
crew to a prize.
The names of the steamers sunk by
the raider which captured the Appam
are given out as the Corbridge, Trader,
Ariadne, Dromonby, Farringford, Clan
MacTavish and Arthur.
1t is also reported now that the raider
was the German cruiser Move, instead
of a submarine, although this is not con-
trmed.
There were a total of 451 persons
aboard the Appam, including the surviv-
ing members of the crews of seven
other ships sunk by the raider which
captured the Appam and twenty German
civilians who were being transported
from Africa to England to be placed In
detention camps. The persons on board
the Appam were listed as follows:
Original members of Appam's crew.
1855; original passengers on the Appam
1I6; German prisoners bound for British
detention camps 20; survivors of ships
destroyed 1873; prize crew %.
According TO the information CLEANED
from those who had talked with Lieu
tenant Berge, in charge of the prize
crew, the Appam was captured, without
any show of resistance, on January Is,
the day that British news reports said
wireless communication with the ves-
sci suddenly ceased.
The prize crew was placed on board
and on the same day the raider
which captured the Appam gave chase
to another British steamer, which was
bound for Australia with a cargo of
meat. The meat ship gave battle and
was sunk, but not until large portion
of her cargo had been taken Off for use
by the Germans,
