UNITED STATES MARSHAL IN
PERSONAL CHARGE OF APPAM

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 21.-United
States Marshal John G.. Saunders, of
the Eastern district of Virginia, ar
rived at Newport News Sunday
morning from Richmond and took
personal charge of the situation
growing out of the federal court
libel proceedings which have been in
stituted against the steamship APP
pam by the British and African
Steam Navigation Company, Ltd, the
Liverpool owners of the vessel, which
on February LIST was brought into
Hampton Roads by German naval
prize crew.
Marshal Saunders following his ar
rival at Newport News, conferred
with Collector of the Port Norman
R. Hamilton, the marshal having
found German Commander Berg of
the Appam standing in opposition to
practically his every move, called and
asked the assistance Of Collector
Hamilton, which Commander Berg
still personally held out, he recog-
nized having authority over the APP
pam.
Collector Hamilton took the posi-
ton that the private action instituted
in the federal court by representa-
tives of the British and African
Steam Navigation Company, Ltd,
had involved the Appam in proceed
ings not coming under the collectors
Jurisdiction. The collector then ex-
planned TO Commander Berg, who was
ashore at the custom house, that
while the collector of customs was
the highest port authority having to
do with the .Appam, the United States
court was the highest legal authority
IN the land.
The collector said that when the
court acted in this matter, its action
had come to him as complete sur
prise, but he, as an officer, at all
time recognized the authority of
court until vacated and the collector
endeavored to make fully clear to
the commander the Importance of
such an order in the United States.
Marshal Sanders advised Comman-
der Berg that his intention was to
keep watchnlen on the Appam, by
keeping two men aboard for twelve
hours and then relieving them by
sending two other men aboard.
The commander protested, but sub
sequently yielded, under renewed
protest and the marshal's orders of
the day prevailed.

Washington, Feb. 21-National pre-
paredness took long step forward to-
day when the house military commit
tee reached practically an agreement
on the army bill which will be re-
ported unanimously.
The measure which is to be framed
by Cairman Hay will provide total
peace strength of about five hundred
and seventy-five thousand men, being
composed of an increased standing
army of one hundred and forty-seven
thousand and federalized National
Guard of four hundred and twenty
five thousand on the basis of eight
hundred for each member Of congress.
The expense for the whole estab-
lishn1ent this is estimated at one hum
dred ond seventy-four million dollars
as against one hundred and eighty
two million dollars in the plan includ-
ing the continental army as advocated
by Former Secretary Garrison.
The Hay bill, which is regarded as
a compromise, carries the same regu-
lar army increase as Garrison pro-
posed, making the army, with one
hundred and forty-seven thousand,
capable Of expanding In war time to
two hundred and seventy-five thou
sand.
While the senate committee Is pre-
rar1ng 4 bin with q provision for a
standing army OF two hundred thou
sand on the war college plan, it is

adopted by the senate. Whether the
bills are acceptable to the president
has not been indicated.

his charges Of general inefficiency.
The resolution, which viii be favora-
bly, reported, appropriates ten thou
sand dollars and creates an investi-
eating committee consisting of three
members Of the house and two from
the senate.
Robinson charged that letters pass
ing between Lieutenant Colonel Sam
uel Reber, head Of the aviation SER
vice, and Captain Arthur Cowan, who
had charge of the San Diego station,
showed gross neglect The war de-
partment has ordered an investigation
independent Of the one proposed by
