 Berlin via Amsterdam, March 6--A storm of enthusiasm such as has been equalled only in the case of the fla hnous Enden greeted an announce ment of the admiralty yesterday that the Moewe, the German raider which since the beginning of the year has gone her mysterious way on the hlgh seas, notably in Inid-Atlantic, without hindrance from the British. arrived yesterday ftin a home port.p
 The Moewe brought with her, ac- corddne to the announcem ent, 1,oo0,O 900 nnarke .($25O, ,000) in gold bars and 4O2 prisoners taken from 15 allied vessels, all British with the exception of one French and one Belgian, aggregating a tonnage of nearly 6o,o00 Of these 15 vessels the majority were sunk, the admiralty says, while "a small part were sent as prizes to neutral ports =
 The Moewe, according to the state nnents not only wrought havoc on all lied maritime commerce by sinking or into her path but was also engaged on her successful cruise lasting several znonths'' in sowing mines along what is sdescribed as the enemy coast. It was one of the Moewe's mines, the ad- u1ira1ty ayers, that caused the sinking on January g Ia.st3of the British pre- dreadnought Esdlward VII. from which every one of the TIT men aboard was saved by British rescue vessels.
 The home port into which the Ger man raider brought her prisoners and booty is not designated by the Ad- xniralty nor is it believed that it will be made known. This leads to the belief here that other raiders are ex- pected to return from sea rowing trips. Some here even believe the port in question may be the base for a mum Der of similar other enterprises.
 The theory that the Moewe is a, war ship is dispe11ed by the official an- nounceme ent through the fact that it is not designated as an IS. M. S.'' but simply as !. the Moewe.''

THREE BIG SHIPS 1. OF NAvY'S FIRST
 LINE TO 60 OUT

Philadelphia, March 6lThe battle ships Alabama, Ohio, and. Georgia are to be stricken from the navy roster of fighting units and probably will end their days as training ships for the national reserve. This was the asser- ton made today by several officers of the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
 One of the officers asserted that the battleships, despite their excellent condition, are obsolete and serve no purpose other than to retard the pro- gress and impair the efficiency of first line ships"
 The Alabama, flagship of the re- serve fleet, and the Ohio, are at the Philadelphia navy yard. The Georgia is now on her way to the local yard to join the reserve fleet. The Alabama was laid down 20 years ago and is a 12,OOO ton ship. The Ohio and Geor- gia, built a few years later, are vir- tually the same size and carry similar armaments.

Gets ,s6, 100 Verdict
 In aPool Room" Suit

z Boston, March 6-A jury in the su- perior court today returned a verdict for $6,11O against the Hammond, Ho- tels, proprietors of the Hotel Essex in this city for money which Robert H. Kemp, of Brockton, claimed to have lost in betting on a fake horse race at the hotel in November, 1913.
 Kemp alleged that he was persuad- ed by several persons who had set up pool room in the hotel to bet 5,360 on a. horse race. He brought suit against the hotel corporation to re- cover this amount with interest, under arrevised statute which makes prop erty holders liable for money lost in betting on their premises if it is proved that they had knowledge of what had taken place.

the Moewe, commander Burggram Count Dohna-SchIodien, after a suc- cessfuI cruise lasting several months arrived today at some home port with four British aofhcers,-29 British ma rines and sailors, 266 men of crews of enemy steamers. among them 103 In dians, as prisoners and 100000 marks in gold bars.
 The vessel brought up with the fol- lowing enemy steamers, the greater DARe of which were sunk, and a small part of which were sent as prizes to neutral ports:

 At several points on enemy coast the Moewe also laid out mines, to which, among others, the battleship King Edward VII fell victim
 In order to- reach a home port the EMoewe must have covered be- tween 1;500st and 2, 900 miles. The last definite news from her came on February 23, when the British steam ship Westburn, flying the German naval ensign and commanded by a German prize crew of eight, put into the port of Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, Canary Islands.
 The West burns German connnand- CT landed 206 prisoners taken from six British and one Belgian vessel and then took the ship to the three mile limit. There the Westburn blew up. the prize crews leader declaring the explosion accidental, while the general belief is that the ship was purposely sunk to prevent interment. by the Spanish government The German Adrnira1ty's statement refers to a. British ship Western whichl-is probably the Westburn. It also men tons the seven vessels represented by prisoners of fhe Westburn.

The impression of the Democratic members of the council and of most of the Republican members was that the book was to be published without expense to the city. The aftermath came in the report of the city auditor to the board of apportionment and taxation.
 After the council adopted the reso- lution, someone tackled on rider" providing that the city pay the $2.5OO for a share of the books which the city will get which will be distributed here. @ City Auditor Heating on the recom- mendation of the common council in- cluded the item of $2,5O0 in his rec oInmendation to the tax board and that board voted the appropriation without question.

 Misses Lorraine Armstrong, Elsie Clark, Isabel PilIens and Marguerite Sanford As for the program itself, it was immediately evident that each participant had given earnest thought to the interpretation of the authors text, and with clear, musical voices, beauty of diction, rythTn and tempo made of each number distinct con- tribution to the readers art.
 At the conclusion of the program tcongra tulations were showered upon Miss Clarke and her pupils for the ex- celIent work of the afternoon. Fol- lowing the recital, Mrs Richard How el entertained all who had taken part at tea in the breakfast rooms and much merriment was caused by the souvenirs of the ocea sion,. clever water color illustrations of their recent tri- unphs.

MIDDLE WEST CHOSEN BY
WILSON WITH A PURPOSE
IDEA WAS To DELIVER MESSAGE
TO THOSE LESS INCLINED
TOWARD 1T.

WASHINGTON, Feb S.-President
Wilson'S appeal to the country in his
speechmaking tour is the subject Of
supreme interest in political circles in
Washington. These speechmakine
trips were not pol teal in any sense,
as all the meetings were under nom
political auspices, but reports OF the
presidents reception and the COM
ment that always follows in the wake
of a presidential train have been read
with unusual interest.
In his trip into the Mississippi val
ley the president entered territory
where it was assumed that the cam
paign for greater preparedness had
made the least progress. In the great
farming states Of that region, far from
the seaports and from points Of pos
sible attack from an enemy. there is
believed to be the strongest sentiment
against spending money for dread
naughts and arm es.
1t was for this reason that the
president chose this ground for dis
cussion Of the plans he has presented
to congress. He believed that he
would be able TO remove misapprehen-
sions that the administration is favor
ing the things that lead To militarism
and aggress on HIS purpose was to
try to carry direct to the farming
communities Of Iowa, Kansas and
other states of the middle west the
conviction that greater preparedness
is duty. and that this does not mean
militariSm.
