AMERICAN LEAGUE

Browns Win Over Indians

Cleveland, April 12.-Cleveland lost it's opening game to St. Louis to l chiefly because it could not hit Groom, ex-Federal league pitcher. Groom, while somewhat wild, held the Cleve- flanders to three hits being very ef- fective with men on bases. Mitchell was lacking in control and after he had passed the first two batters in the sixth inning gave way to Bagby, who was very effective after that in- ming. The support give the Cleveland pitchers was ragged.
 Iris Speaker played his first game as Cleveland player. He fielded spec tacularly and walked three times, be- ing passed purposely twice. The crowd was the largest that ever witnessed
 an opening game in Cleveland. Mayor Davis pitched the first ball. Score R.H. E St. Louis ........ Oil GOA o00--6 Cleveland ....... 100 900 000-1 ! Batteries: Groom and Hartley Mitchell, Bagby and O'Neill. Empires

CARGO 0F APPAM IS SOLD FOR S7O0,000. Action Taken on Account of Perishable Nature of
 Commodities

Newport News. April 12.-The cargo or the German prize ship Ap-
 pam was disposed of here today at public auction for approximately STOOL oO0. The sale was recently ordered by the federal court because the cargo, on account of it's perishable nature, was depreciating in value.
 The largest item was 19,000 bags or cocoa beans which brought nearly half million dollars, averaging 14% cents per pound. Four hundred casks of Calabar palm averaged 151a cents a pound and 3700 sacks of cotton seed averaged $1.30 per sack. The cotton seed was sold subject. to the approval of the department of agriculture, the import of this product being forbidden
 because certain foreign seed is dis eased.
 The sales are expected to be con-
 firmed within few days. The proceeds
 of the sale will be held by the court
 pending decision of the Appam libel

shown, and continue to show them- selves on neutral soil in many parts of the world in political intrigues, rev olutionary plots, schemes fostered for attacking the seaborne trade of this country and her allies, endeavors to facilitate the operations of ships en- gagged in this task, and in criminal en- terprises of different kinds directed against the property of neutrals and belligerents alike War has in effect been extended far beyond the bounds of the area in which opposing armies maneuver and an interruptions bellig- erent may inflict the deadliest blows on his enemy in regions remote from actual fighting"
 At this point the note refers in gen. eral terms to unneutratl plots in the United States. particularly the Fay case, and continues:
 Tt is then evidently of the greatest importance for belligerent power to intercept on the high seas not only mobilized members of the opposing army who may be found travelling on neutral ships, but also those agents whom the enemy sends to injure his opponent abroad or whose services he enjoys without having himself com missioned them
 ''The action of the Unitedt States in forwarding requests for safe conducts for agents of states at war with this country whose actions had been such that their continued presence in the United States could no longer be tol- o1-o fo1 ,fP q: | the right to remove certain classes of persons from neutral ships can in the circumstances of this present war not be confined to persons embodied in the armed forces of a belligerent."
 PART OF PLOT
 Tt may be added" says the note after reference to the alleged Shang- haf plots, that subsequent informa- tion fully confirms that the movement of the body of Germans in question was an integral part of the plot re- ferred to. * The objective of their journey was to find another neu- tral asylum in which they might con tinue their operations against the in- terests of this countryt. The acts which they desire to perform upon the soil of the United States were such as possibly to compromise the neutrality of that country or to constitute an of fense against it's criminal laws" The British note then goes on to argue that the removal of the Confed- crate commissioners, Mason and Sli- dell from the Trent and their subse- quent release for which Great Britain successfully contended, and which was one of the points in the American pro- test, was in no wise a parallel case for reasons which the note cites as Obvious"
 'It is hardly necessary for me-" wrote Sir Edward Grey in conclusion, "tc state tthat 1t is far from the wish and intention of his majesty's govern ment to take any action involving an invasion of the sovereign rights oi the United States government; and I feel confident that after the foregoing explanations In regard both
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-13

to the general question involved and to the removal of enemy subjects from the China, the United States govern ment will not feel disposed further to contend that this action was not justi- fed"
 paraphrase of the text of the American note also made public by the state department reveals that Secre- tary Lansing characterized the re- movaI of the prisoners as an ''unwar- ranted invasion of the sovereignty of American vessels on the high seas.
 Ambassador Page was directed to insist vigorously that if facts are as represented" in the attachment of per son, orders be given immediately for the release of the persons taken from the China.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-13

aCteAnPllnS to return nome to take up arms. It contends that they were not clothed with the immunity which would attach to enemy subjects who merely were travelling
 REMOVALS JUSTIFIED
 Great Britain alleges that the prisoners were "engaged for sometime past in the collection and transmission of arms and ammunition both for clandestine trans mission to India and. if possible, for the arming of a ship to play the part of a far-eastern Moewe," and were bound for Manila to continue their work having been exposed to the British authorities at Shanghai The neutrality of the United States would have been compromised, the note contends, had the prisoners per formed the acts they had in contempla- tion Their acts it is contended, deprived them of protection from the American flag.
 The British government argues that the removals were perfectly justified and trusts that the United States will not feel further disposed to contend the action
 The note begins by pointing out that the latest attempt to define by common agreement the limitations within which a belligerent naval power may remove enemy persons from neutral ships on the high seas, is represented by article 47 of the declaration of London, 1909, which permitted the arrest of such per- sons if ''embodied in the armed forces of the enemy" without regard to the distinction of the ships on which they were found travelling.
 The subsequent interpretations of ar ticles 45 and 47 of the declaration of Lon don are then gone into at length and reference is made to the fact that after the German authorities began to remove able-bodied persons of military age from occupied territory in France and Bel gium, Great Britain decided to arrest all enemy reservists found on neutral ships on the high seas
 Continuing, the note says:
 ''It is evident, however, that the prin- ciple (often contended for in the past by certain continental nations) that there are certain classes of persons who are not protected by a neutral flag on the high seas and may, therefore, without any invasion of the sovereign rights of the neutral be removed from a neutral ship, is now generally admitted The question in the present case is, there fore, whether the capture and position , of the persons removed from the China were such as to bring the case within the principle enunciated above NOT CONFINED TO WAR 'The present war has shown that the bel1igerent activity of the ene- mics of this country is by no means confined to the actual theatres of mill itary and naval operations and that there is no limit to the methods of which Germany in particular seeks to secure a victory for her arms The hostile efforts of the enemy have
