WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Sir Cecil

today presented a, formal demand on
behalf of his government for the re-
turn to British ownership of the
liner Appam, taken by German

troversy with Great Britain is fore
shadowed, as the United States

Secretary Lansing Indicated today that
the United States had decided to hold
the Prussian-American treaty governs the
case Of the Appam, as Germany contends
and all that remained to be decided was
the Interpretation OF the application of
the treatys terms.
The secretary disclosed further that the
sole question to be decided by the inter-
probation was how long the Appam should
be permitted to remain in American
waters. The treaty guarantees to Ger
man prize the right to come and go freely
II forced to depart German officials have
stated the Appam would be sunk to pre-
vent its recapture by the British.
Germany is expected to contend that
the treaty guarantees the Appam the
right to remain safe in Hampton Roads
until the case goes before a prize court
for adjudication. Technically the ship
does not become Gernaany's prize until
such court establishes the validity OF
its capture. --,
