A WISE GUESS.


Among the Gossips" in the Albany
Herald yesterday afternoon had the
following to say, anent the first anna
teur baseball game in several years
between Americas and Albany:
Well, little old Americas is a bit
wiser today than she was yesterday.
She knows that Albany CAN come
back. Pretty nice game, too, and a
close score. If we know those Merry
Cusses," they are going to be loaded
to the brim and seeking revenge when
Albany visits that city ON the 23rd and
Gath of this month. Albany should
take advantage of the intervening
space of time to get ready for them.
It's wise guess on the part of the
Herald's writer, and we think they'll
have to admit-which they did in the
news columns, that Americas put up
fine game, everything taken into con-
sideration.
By-the-way, the entire countryside
can take note Of the two games here
o. August oath and 25th so they can
make it convenient to come to Ameri-
Gus and see two real baseball teams at
work in the national pastime.

THE danger 10 America, however,

That danger is constant and imme-

would set the world afre.
Every nation will enjoy our re-

LANSING SAYS
APPAM WAR PRIZE

Washington, Feb. S.--The German
captive ship Appam is prize of war
in the Official view of the United
States. Secretary OF State Lansing an
nounced today.
Meantime British Ambassador
Spring-Rice prepared strong pro-
test. demanding that this government
observe The Hague convention Of
.ls07 in determining the status OF the
Appam. This convention requires that
q belligerent must surrender a prize
ship to the original owners II upon
bringing her into neutral port the
captor is unable to put TO sea again
with her or to take her TO home
port,
State department officials, however,
said they see no alternative other
than to observe the Prusslan-
American treaty permitting docking
of prizes in America or Germany mu-
tually, inasmuch as both England and
America never finally. ratified The
Hague convention provisions,
Internment Of the prize crew ap-
parently Is required, but II Is more
doubtful about the German citizens
whom the prize crew found aboard,
The British embassy has demand
ed release OF the Appam crew. and 1t
is expected the state department will
.acquiesce therein. though Lieut.. Berg
contends that because OF their resist
ance they are subject to internment,
The disposition OF British military
men aboard has not been decided.
In disposing of the Appam the state
department will be guided, in part,
by the Prussian-American treaty OF
I1S2S; in the matter OF British SOL
diers Lieut.. Berg has refused to re-
lease, high official comments that
common sense will enter into the
solution"
There Is no precedent TO follow on
that point. and this government will
have the whole say in the matter.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1915.
THE NEW CAMPAIGN.

Every land owner who can respond
to the call for one-year contracts for
planting heets for the new sugar fac
tory should do SO. The facts that
have been brought out in the COM
paign during the past six months
have convinced everyone that there is
profit in the culture Of the sugar
beet, and If they are as profitable as
has been shown in countries better
situated than this in matters OF
transportation, they must certainly
be the profitable crop to grow here.
The one thing that has retarded the
development of the Rogue valley has
not been inability to produce; it has
been inability to market that which
was produced. Here the market is
provided, and the farmer is asked to
supply the market which is brought
to him rather than to have to seek a
market after he has grown his crop.
1t takes the gamble all out Of the
proposition and puts it squarely upon
q business basis. 1t establishes a
market value for land and guarantees
the land owner an opportunity to
realize upon his investment 1t pro-
vides a payroll, and there will be
labor for all who wish employment.
1t is a form of intensive farming to
which the Rogue valley is admirably
suited. Let every citizen get into
the game and add to the acreage and
SO give prosperity a big boost.

Berg. and his crew for the courtesy
they had extended after making the
daring capture on the high seas,
Meanwhile the identity Of the ship
that seized the Appam is puzzle.
Germans aboard insist that II was the
Moewe, naval survey ship. while
British subjects insist Il was the
Ponga. Captain Harrison, Appam
commander before the seizure, main
tains though that the vessel was larger
than the Moewe
Adding 20 the mystery is the fact
that the members OF the prize crew
wore different hat bands, some OF
them with 'Moewe" printed thereon;
some OF them with "Taula."
In some quarters II is still held
that perhaps the daring cruiser Karls-
ruhe is again loose on the seas on
her career Of terror
Among the rumoss spread by pas
sengers reaching shore today was one
that the s,000-ton German cruiser
Room had aided the raider that bag
ged the Appam. Captain Harrison
advised the British embassy at Wash
ington about this story. but said that
it was unconfirmed. He believes that
other German ships were near when
the Appam was seized. but the ques-
tiou Of how they could have run the
British blockade still furnishes q
puzzle to naval men. Telling OF how
raider accompanying the Appam
had battled with the steamer Clan
McTavish in full view OF the passen-
I gers on the prize ship, Sir Edward
Meriweather, governor OF British
Sierra Leone, said
The raider had masked batteries,
but the Australian ship scented dan
ger. so the latter fired first from her
Ithree-inch gun. the only armament
she carried. The shot almost struck
the raider, which then dropped It's
mask and gave battle for half hour
II was an uneven fight. but mighty
plucky.
THE German let go a broadside.
but the Clan McTavish barked away
with her little gun even after she was
afire in a half dozen places. Finally
the Germans fired two torpedoes,
These struck home and the McTavish
reeled as though she was hit by
giant and soon disappeared. ~,
German boats hurried out TO help
and they rescued four wounded sail
ors and placed them aboard the
Appam."
Meriweather understood that there
was about $1,000, 900 worth OF gold
bullion aboard the Appam, which was
transferred to the raider at night.
Port authorities will examine the
cargo and report 10 the state depart
ment on this point
Among the first TO go ashore today
was G. d. Tagliaferri. a Nevada resi-
dent. His American citizenship was
learned after some investigation. but
no complications concerning him are

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.

The measure that passed the senate
by the vote of vice-President Mar
shall after the senators had tied up
on it promises independence to the
Filipinos as soon as it is to their
permanent interest" Democrats
hold this is promise OF independ-
ence as soon as the Filipinos are fit
ted for it, while republicans argue
that this congress is unable to bind
in the slightest degree the future pol
icy OF the country. The measure
creates an elective senate, chosen by
a voting population restricted both BY
educational and property qualifica-
tions, and gives this body and the
lower house power over almost all
legislation affecting the islands. Tar
IN bills, as concerning the United
States. are one exception, and If the
legislature wishes to grant fran
chise or land 1t must receive the ap-
proval Of the president Of the United
States as we'll as OF the governor
general. One OF the educational re-
quirements is that the voter be able
to read and write both Spanish and
English. Malay morals and customs
are not much interfered with. Fu-
,ure polygamous marriages are for
hidden, but the present ones are not
disturbed, on the advice OF army Of
.icers that TO uproot this centuries-old
institution would require practically
war of extermfnation among the
