WASHINGTON. Feb. Whether the
United States Government decides to
intern the British ship Appam or to
release her and turn her over to her
British owners. officials of She state
Department are anticipating trouble.
Whichever way the decision goes II
is realized that "a warm diplomatic dis
pute is in prospect either with Great
Britain or Germany.
The indications at present are that the
vessel will be informed. although officials
are careful to say that such predictions
are subject to modification in the light
Of material Information yet to be re-
Ceived.
II the United States decides 10 intern
her 1t will be either OH the ground that
the Appam. since her capture. has been

officials OF the British Embassy were
generally by the news of the
Vesseis capture. but declined to com

frince Won Hatzfeldi, counsellor Of the
German Embassy. left Washington to-
night for Norfolk to get the details of
the capture from the German
der. Previously he hnd conferred with
counsellor Polk of the state Department.
to whom. II Is understood, he suggested
the possibility OF Germany invoking the
treaty Of I'm.
Thus far the state Department has
received no replies from the Entente
Powers regarding the proposal to dis
arm all merchantmen. a proposal contin-
gent upon the willingness Of the Teutonic
Powers to agree nos 10 attack unarmed
eremy merchantmen without exercising
the rules of International law regarding
warning. visit and search and measures
for the safeguarding Of the passengers
and crews on board. This proposal was
put forth by the United States on the
assumption that no German cruisers
were now operating on the high seas
and that their raiders were
limited to submarines.
While there Is no indication that Sccre-
tary Lansing will withdraw the pro-
posal. IL IL thought more likely than
ever among the Entente Chancelleries
here that the proposal will be r~aJected In
