Asks His Audience IF They
Desire This Situation
to Continue.
HONOR OF AMERICA
Is NOW AT STAKE
Draws Thunderous APP
plause From Audience by
Direct Statements.
ny AssOCTATFD PREss.

Des Moines, Feb. President
Wilson, addressing the largest audi
ences Of his present trip on which he
is advocating preparedness tonight
asked the audience:
do you want the situation TO be
such that all the president can do Is
to write notes and utter words OF
protest ?"
"If these breaches of international
law, which are In daily danger of oc-
curing, should touch the very honor
of the United States do you wish
nothing done about it,"
He then said the answer Is obvious
and drew thunderous applause. He
also stressed the fact that the United
States wanted peace, but that the
self respect of the United States must
be asserted. Speaking of the inter-
national situation he said some nights
he could not sleep, but always felt
that the people of the United States
are behind him.
Before the presidents special left
Chicago today, the members of his

hearty welcome accorded him here.
They said the local response to his
plea for support in preparing for an
adequate defense has fully met their
expectations.
Yesterdays somewhat strenuous ac-
tfvities, including an address before
large audience at Milwaukee, in
which the president declared that
those who sought at first to divide
domestic sentiment in the issues Of
war, 'Thad shot their bolt" and the
long speech here last night are to be
followed by a relaxation of activity
today.
The presidents speech of last night
was In large measure reiteration Of
his previous pleas for speedy upbuild-
ing Of the army and navy and his en-
dorsement of the continental army
plan. His assertion that SO far as the
navy Is concerned, the navy is pre-
pared for immediate war caused a
momentary f1utter in the audience, but
was softened by his declaration that
the navy was inadequate in size,
though not In quality. His reference
TO American ideals and the solemn
pledge" of this country to maintain
the national sovereignty of the coun-
tries in the Western hemisphere was
received with applause and his de-
scription of Americans as "body of
idealists much more ready to Jay down
their lives for a thought than dol
lars elected hearty applause.

To REPRESENT
PENSACOLA At
WASHING ON
c. E. Dobson Leaves to
Look After Interests of
Pensacola Navy Yard
WILL STAY THERE
SEVERAL, WEEKS
VIII Urge Selection of PEN
sacola for a Modern
Craving Dock.

G. e. Dobson has gone to Washing
ton TO look after the interests of Pen
sacola before the senate and house
committees investigating the matter
of locating a navy yard of the first
class with modern craving dock on
the gulf coast Mr.. Dobson will be alb
sent for several weeks, or until such
time as he knows for a certsinty that
the matter either is definitely settled
or else win not again come before the
senate and house.
Pensacola has been designated by
naval experts as one Of the two degir-
able locations on the gulf coast for a
navy yard. The other is Guantanamo,
but inasmuch as the navy department.
has about decided to abandon that
place because of the inaccessibility,
Pensacola remains the one logical 10
cation for navy yard with a craving
dock.
Mr.. Dobson is familiar with all con
ditions at Pensacola and along the
gulf coast. He is also acquainted with
practically all Of the department
heads an high officers of the navy,
and is peculiarly well fitted to get re-
suits. His expenses are to be paid
by one hundred citizens, who are to
donate SO each. Many of these al
ready have subscribed and paid their
donations, but the amount necessary
has not yet been subscribed.
Mr.. Dobson viii also continue his
work for the navy aeronautic station
at Pensacola in the hope that larger
appropriations will be secured and
this branch of the service developed
faster.
President Wilson has taken up the
fight for more money for aviation in
the navy. In his Chicago speech of
Monday night he had the following to
say of this service:
"All the subsidiary arms of the
service have been built up. Three
years ago there were four officers as
signed to duty connected with aviation
and they did not have a single availa-
ble-at any date usable-craft at their
service. Now there are 81 airships,
121 commissioned officers, a large
number of non-commissfoned officers,
and a sufficient force of enlisted men
in the school and practice at Pensacola
And, that is only the beginning, be-
cause the Sixty-third Congress, the
last Congress, was the first to make
an appropriation for aviation IN con-
nection with the navy"

the semi-annaal examinations, accord

Many mfdshipmen claim the recent

garding the condition Of the Barrancas
road, between Bayou Chico and Bayou
Grande, featured the meeting Of the
board of county commissioners last

Commissioner White said this road
is in a terrible condition and that

wards putting it in passable shape,
especially as the city taxpayers paid
so per cent. Of the taxes Of the entire
county and are entitled to have this
road in condition for travel. II is one
of the main thorouRhfares used by city

LINER APPAM,
PRIZE Of WAR,
IS At NORFOLK
Given Up as Lost She APP
pears Like an Appari-
ton at That Port.
GERMAN PRIZE
CREW rs ABOARD
Vessel Brings News of New
German Commerce
Raider at Work.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 1.-Given up as
lost days ago, the British passenger
liner Appam, plying in the West Afri-
can trade, appeared like an appari-
ton In Hampton Roads today, flying
trs German naval ensign and in
charge of German prize crew. She
brought word of mysterious Ger
man commerce raider, the Moewe,
which now roams the seas, and which,
when she captured the Appam trans
ferred to her the crews Of seven Brit
ish merchantmen and admiralty
transports she previously had sunk.
The Moewe then put Lieutenant
Hans Bergs of the German naval re-
serve, with twenty-five men aboard
the Appam, and they brought her
here from point sixty miles north
of the Madeira Islands, where she
was captured on january Is.
The Appam lay tonight under the
guns of Fortress Monroe, pending
final disposition. The Appam besides
her prize crew has aboard 116 of her
passengers, 155 of her crew, 138 sea-
men of ships the Moewe destroyed,
and twenty German civilians who
were aboard the Appam enroute for
enternment in England when cap
tured-
No one was allowed board her, but
persons aboard are expected to land
tomorrow. The Appam did not re-
sist capture, according to her COM
Imander, Captain Harrison, in talking
to Pilot Carol Foster. The ship re-
ported the Moewe sunk were the Cor
bridge, Trader, Ariadne, Dromonby,
FarTingford, Author and Clan Mac
lavish.
STATUS OF APPAM.
Until IL IL decided whether the Ger
man commander aboard the Appam
brought her to an American port as
prize of war, or as converted
auxiliary cruiser of the German
navy, there will be no determination
of the United States course respect
ing the ship. After usual formalities
the Appam's passengers viii be re-
leased, as will any prisoners of war
aboard, as international law prevents
the holding of prisoners of war in a
neutral country.
Tf the German prize crew are ac-
counted in the naval service of Ger
many they VIII be interned, unless the
Appann Is held TO be cruiser and they
decide to take the chances of putting
to sea and run the Gordon of British
cruisers. If the Appam is held to be
a German auxiliary cruiser she will
be ordered to sail after making the
necessary repairs or be interned. IF
held as a prize of war, the situation
viii become decidedly complex, as the
authorities differ as 10 whether she
viii be turned back to the British or
allowed to remain until prize court
@as acted on the status.

Shoe WEARERS TO feel
pinch OF War PRICES

A sido-effect Of the far-away war
that interests every man. woman and
child is the announcement OF the fact
that shoes must this season advance
in price.
The generally reported scarcity Of
leather and increased cost of tanning
since the war combined with an
enormously increased demand for
leather. all account for the advanced
cost Of footwear
Millions of pairs OF shoes for the
European armies have been and still
are being made by American shoe
manufacturers. On The average, these
army shoes consume one and one-half
as much leather as the average Amer
lean mans shoe.
knapsacks, saddle. harnesses and
other material for the armies at war,
and general increase in equipment
OF the American army and state
militia account for a still further de-
mand on the none too large supply Of
leather
Munitions plants have called for
thousands OF feet OF leather betting.
and the general picking up OF business
has started thousands Of factories
wheels and greatly augmented the call
for betting.
Autos have also made great and in
creasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering.
Leather is a by-product. The sup
ply cannot be increased at will as
crops and metals are, but is dependent
on the hide supply; and cattle are not
killed. primarily. for their hides.
The latest census reports show that
the cattle population has decreased 20
per cent in the last ten years, and
the population has increased the same
percentage
Shoes. therefore, are to be more ex-
lpensive. II is said that the increase
for the present will be about 20 per
cent. but will likely ne more by next
fall
