Washington, Feb. S.--Pacifists who
said they represented the farmers,
working people and voting people of
the country, today warned the senate
and house military committees against
being stampeded into what they term
ed unwarranted appropriations for
military preparedness.
An anti-preparedness committ, of
which William D. Wald of New York
is chairman, introduced itself to the
committee as an organization OF
American citizens formed to protest
against dangerous program of mil
itary and naval expansion, to divert
the public mind from those prepara-
lions for that world peace which it
might be our country's privilege TO
initiate at the close of the war"

tends that the British liner, Appam,
brought to Hampton Roads by Ger.
man prize crew, is entitled under the
terms Of the Prussian-American trea-
ty to remain in American waters in
definitely, and in support of her posi-.
ton, Count Won Rernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, today presented to
Secretary Lansing ii formal communi-
cation on behalf of the Berlin foreign
Office.
The United States practically has
decided that the treaty guarantees
the ship to the Germans as prize,
but it has not decided how long she
shall be permitted to remain in Am
erican waters.
To accept the German contention
would mean that the Appam would be
permitted TO remain until the end of
the war.

WAGE DEMANDS HALT
INDUSTRY SAYS ELLIOT

Washington, Feb. S.-Demands OF
railroad employees for higher wages
and the general tendency toward the
eight-hour working day was deprecat.
ed as the check of industry by How
ard Elliott, chairman Of the board OF
directors of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad, in speech
tonight before the chamber of com.
merce of the United States. He said
that such demands as those recently
made by the organization of railroad
were but steps in process which, if
continued, would raise the cost of
living to new heights and finally re-
suit in conditions much more to the
disadvantage of labor than of capital.
Mr.. Elliott's speech came at the
close of the first day of the national
chambers fourth annual convention,
which is being attended by delegates
from every state in the Union.
John H. Fahey of BOstson, the pres
ident, addressed the opening session
this morning, appealing to the busi-
ness men to do some constructive
thinking.

More Power

New York, Feb. S.-The most i'm
portant action taken at the opening
session of the National leagues re-
convened annual convention here to-
day was to increase the power Of
President John X. Tener, by con-
stitutional amendment which provides
that in the case of protested games
there shall be no appeal from the
executives decision.
In the past there shas been much
trouble over the findings Of the pres-
dent in adlsputed games and in many
cases appeals have been taken to the
board of directors, which did not al
ways support the executive.
