UNITED STATES MAKES
T0OI MUCH NOISE
THAT Is THE CRITICISM col.
HOUSE Is BRINGING BACK
WITH HIM.
Negotiations With Central Powers
Should BE Conducted With
More Secrecy, 1t
Is II inted.
By KARL wIAcKERMAN.
United Press staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Washing
ton administration makes its diplo-
matte moves with too much noise.
That is declared tb be the criticism
Col. E. NJ. House, confidential agent
of President Wilspt, is carrying back
to the United Setes with him.
American officialslare understood to
have indicated that the president
might accomplish 5more in his nego-
tiations with the Central empires by
moving with greater secrecy.
House was tolds for instance, that
Ambassador Penffeld at Vienna be-
lieved his work Was hampered be-
cause the presidents printed instruc-
tions were received and published in
Vienna before hes received the in
structions from Washington. Conse-
quently all the Austrian diplomats
were on their guard and would not
exchange views with Penfield, even
at the exclusive Jockey club where
diplomats and leading officials meet
in a game of bridge and discuss in
ternational affairs informally.
The German newspapers are devot-
ing columns of SPACE to reports OF
the neutral debate in the United
States senate. Tie argument OF
some of the western senator's who de-
clared that Americans should no:
travel on belligerant ships. particu-
larry those carrying arms and ammu-
milton. is being displayed prominent
.ly

the Transatlantic n. is definitely
settled.
That the Appam as "ayiaid and
captured and a prix& crew o. twelve
German sailors PLACID aboard l. the
story as briefly reperted. IL Is be-
Iieyed that when thelliner WAS halted
by submarine 10 / as decided that
the only way 10 she the lives of
the passengers and he crew WAS To
capture tho ship. When the Appan
arrived in Hampton Roads the only
visible damage was Ia light dent In
one OF her plates d the starboard
bow.
The original raider resumed its
business of attacking British vessels
fter capturing the Appam. sinking
one OF those in view of the big liner.
This vessel WAS an Austrian fFeighter
laden with meat. fThc freighter
showed fight and seYrai members Of
her crew were injurdi After taking

steamed OFF. leaving the Appam a

How much OF fight took place or

Harrison says he Surrendered imlnt-
liateIy since the ship carried only
one 3-inch gun and 4 Was not mount
ed. Some OF the passengers say that
the British liner opcned fire when the
first warning shot MAS fired across
her bow.
That is point fhis government
will have to settle.
The Appam's passengers relate
that the raider piacfd 1873 prisoners
taken from other slAps on board the
li.er. These prisoners stories indi-
cate that the raider 3ink at least ses-
en- other ships.

United States immigration and
custom officj4s Immediately went
aboard the Aqpam barring all other
persons from the vessel. The full
details of thet capture were not OBJ
tainable for 4several hours. The
United StateS officials remained
aboard some Atime questioning the
passengers arh crew. There was no
official confirmation of the report
that submari4es captured the ship,
though it waA reported ashore that
L boat hlted the big liner off
Gibraltar while she was proceeding
from the French port of Dakar in
Senegal To Plymouth, England.
Only twelve Germans comprised
the crew that captured the liner and
her 300 British passengers and
crew, according to reports ashore.
A score Of German prisoners were
being taken to London on the ship.
However, it Is thought probable that
these were released and furnished
with arms id order TO help in guard
duty.
The one hundred and sixty-six
passengers, Including Sir F.. VI. Mer-
iwether, governor OF the British
I;a,..a nann and hfc
wife and civilian members OF the
crew will probably be permitted to
depart whea the Appam has been
formally int&rned as a German prize
OF war.
The Appsm made its dash into
port with the German flag fiutter-
ing at her staff, recalling the almost
equal dariHg feat of the Ger
man commetce raiders, kron Prinz
Wilhelm and the Prince Friedrich
Eitel.
The capture and flight OF the Ap-
pam across DE Atlantic ocean, elud-
ing British Rarships, scout cruisers
and all othef shipping, in charge OF
bare handful Of German sailors
surpasses all other feats Of the high
seas. With her lights out and pro-
ceeding at slow speed and avoiding
all the ordinary commercial routes
across the ocean the Appam's Trans
Atlantic flight presents elements
that almost stagger the imagination.
The full story OF the capture OF
the vessel and flight across the At
Iantic leaked cut in meager, tanta-
lizingly slow details.
No one will be permitted to leave
the ship until rs status and that OF
