The First Point

The First Point
The real point to he decided is
whether the Appam shall remain IN
possession of the prize crew under the
terms of the Prussiah American treaty
or Shall be returned to her British OWN
ers under the Hague Convention. In
dicationS We're given thac the state de-
partment will hold that the prize be-
longs to Germany.
Conflicting Demands
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
AMBASSADOR in a formal note to Sec
rotary Lansing. gave notice that the
Appam came into Hampton Roads I'M
der the treaty which guarantees her
to. her captors. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
the British ambassador. asked that the
ship be returned to her British own
ers as a prize recovered under the
Hague Convention.
Application Of Treaty
The Hague Convention under article
81 provides for the internment Of the
crew and the surrender of the ship but
State department officials are doubtful
that it can be applied to the case of the
Appam first. because the PrussianAm-
erican treaty is believed to be binding
and second, because Great Britain sign
ed but never ratified this part of the
Hague convention.
Until the status of the ship is decided
she will remain in the custody Of the
Norfolk customs authorities and if turn
ed over to Germany may be kept in
port or sent to sea as the German gov
eminent chooses.
Not Naval Auxiliary
1t was regarded as significant that
neither the British nor the German au-
thorities contended that the Appam was
a naval auxiliary. Thus the United
States is relieved of deciding a question
which officials feared would become one
Of the most troublesome perplexities Of
the war. Both governments concede she
is prize, no question to be decided ex-
cept her disposition.
The state department today requested
the customs authorities to land all pas
sengers and non-combatants. Their case
now goes to the immigration authorities.
Foreign consuls will care for their own
nationals who are INDECENT. Those who
can afford to do so are free to go on to
Europe. Any Germans who elect to re-
turn to Germany and cannot find ways to
do so probably will have to be cared for
by the government at some immigration
station.

to Secretary Lansing was based on in

Mills School Opportunities.
At present many Christians are
looking to Mills school graduates to
form the nucleus of Christian workers
among these races of men. Fellow
students, see what splendid oppor
tunity. is opened. to US on the planta
tons to help Christianize, educate and
assimilate these laborers. Are We not
going to synpathize with them and
give all the help we can? Or are we
going to live for ourselves alone and
overlook the ones that need help?
What would life mean to us if We did
This? Our training for life here in
Mills school would become useless.
Let us then make the most of the
opportunity that is offered us in this
Christian service. When we go out let
us keep up our respect for all peoples
as we do here in Mills school, and
help the other races as we'll as our
own. We are the ones who should go
out to lead the young men to purer
lives, and our reward will finally come
when the older people will recognize
our service and become Christians.
Here then is our opportunity. Shall
We make the most of it, or shall we
evade and shift the responsibility
which rightly falls upon us of uplift-
ing our own races ON the plantations
of these Hawaiian Islands?

1t will be scarcely necessary to intro
duce Mr.. Roberts to the readers of The
Messenger, bu: inasmuch as ne is a
candidate for nomination as circuit
Judge, on the Democrat ticket, it may
be of interest to make brief state
ment of his qualifications for that very
important office. For years he has
been recognized as very able member
of the Genesee bar, beginning the prac-
tice of law in this COMFY in 1886. In
1904 he was honored by his party by
nomination to the Office of justice of
the supreme court and made very
creditable showing in the returns. He
has always enjoyed reputation for
integrity, as well as ability, and his
broad sympathies have gained for him
hosts of friends who will, beyond doubt,
unite in the furtherance of his present
canvass. The Messenger Is not demo-
cratic in its political sympathies but is
very glad to make this statement in be-
half of Mr.. Roberts.
