.APPAM CASE BECOMES COMPLEX
 MAY AFFECT STATUSW|THGER

Officials are said to realize that their construction of the Prussan- American treaty in this case undoubtedly will come up as precedent at some other time during the war, and even might have bearing on the case of the American sailing ship William P. Frye sunk year ago by the German com merce raider Prinz Eitel Friedericl. The Frye case is on the eve of settle ment, practically on the terms for which the United States contends.
 British officials go so far as to charge that the Appam was brought to Hampton Roads for the deliberate purpose of testing the soundness of Germany's original contention that the sinking of prizes is a necessary incl dent to naval warfare in it's present form
 To offset that contention however, is the German claim that the Prussian- American treaty guarantees the prize safe to her captors.
 American officials realize that the Appam presents the case of a prize taken. with great difficulty and risk of the captors, to the nearest accessible neutral port. They recognize that should the United States return her to her British owners, that fact might be made an argument for sinking cap tured merchantmen.
 One further result which threatens to confront the United States should it decide to recognize The Hague con- | Il
 can treaty, isNthat Germany might consider herself thus relieved from the treaty obligations the United States is contending to enforce. Such de- velopment, it is feared, might threaten the successful termination of>the Frye ' case

The flames spread with such amaz- ing rapidity that the Ottawa fire bri- SaCe was helpless to cope with them. Aid was sent from Montreal on a spe- cial train but at 1 o'clock this morning the fire still was raging.
 The loss cannot be estimated in money. The building was valued at about 5000, ,00O But the contents are of inestimabie value. There was no insurance
 At midnight the commons and sen ate chambers had been destroyed and as the great clock boomed out the hour, flames were climbing up the magnificent tower and licking their rary at the rear, probably will be saved. Soldiers were assigned to carry out it's contents.
 Members of the parliament. specta- tors in the gallery of the lower house, government employees and other mar rowly escaped death or injury. Within few minutes after the fire began, corridors were filled with smoke and at many points walls of fame barred progress. There were many doors to the great building. but since the out break of the war. all except the main portals have been closed to safeguard the eXchequer. This precaution prob ably was responsible for the deaths of Mme, Brayy of Montreal and Mime. Mo- rin of Beauce in one of the rooms of the speakers suite.
 Mime. Sevingy saved her two children by dropping them into a firemen's s safety net and then leaped to safety herself. Another of her guests. Mme Dussault, saved herself in the same way.
 Among those severely burned was Minister of Agriculture Burrell, who fell unconscious after plunging through curtain of fire and groping his way along a smoke filled corridor. Dr 1 Michael Clark, member from Red Deer was slightly burned.
 An unidentified woman jumped from the second story of the building and was severely injured. Several persons were overcome with smoke Sir Robert Borden; the premier escaped safely.
 Part of the roof over the reading ! room and chamber collapsed soon after the fire was discovered. The reading room is situated at the northeastern corner of common chamber

 Believed Lost In North

A Zeppelin airship and probably all her crew has been lost in the North Sea, and it is possible that she met her fate through the fire of Dutch anti-aircraft guns.
 An English trawler reaching Grims- by reports having seen in the North Sea the Zeppelin L-19 partly sub merged and with seventeen to twenty men clinging to her gas envelope Aid was refused the Germans because they outnumbered the crew of the traWler
 Fifty shots, some of which it is be- ieved hit her. were fired at Zeppelin Wednesday morning as she flew low in a fog over the island of Ameland off the coast of Holland. This air ship according to an Amsterdam re- port, finally disappeared northward a course which would have taken her cut into the North Sea.
 Thirteen of the crew of the collier Franz Fischer were drowned when the collier was sent to the bottom i:i two minutes by bomb dropped by one of the Zeppelins returning from the raid made on England. Only three men of the Fischer were saved

 NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Feb. B. Nineten days of ceaseless vigil for the short handed German prize crew aboard the former British liner Appam ended late tonight when the last of mere than four hundred British pris- oners climbed over the ships side to liberty on the American soil. For the first time since Lieutenant Berg and his P men boarded the liner from the raider which captured her on the night of January 15, most of the Germans slept peacefully with but few of the number on watch.
 All British subjects and the one na- tiOnaliZed American, G. A. Tagliaferro, quit the ship. leaving the prize con- mander with his crew and the 20 Ger mans who had been made prisoners on the Appam, including three women.
 Captain Harrison and the Appam's British crew left their vessel only after a sharp controversy between agents of the owners, the Elder Demp- ster Company and the British embassy a: Washington. The company desired its men to remain on the liner to sup port the claims that the Germans for feited their prize by remaining in neutral waters. but the embassy in sisted. that every British subject de- | part as soon as permission had been granted by tre prize commander on the demand of the United States gov- ! ernment.
 l Plans were changed frequently, but ] the embassy's authority prevailed, and special boat was provided to take the Appam's crew of 155 to Norfolk to await the sailing Of the steamer for l (Continued on Page Three)

 One of the first men to make his way out of the chamber was Colonel John Currie, who commanded the Fourth paqiroapt of tho Canadian firSt division through the battle of St. Ju- lien. where he was overcome with asphyxiating gas.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The Ap- pam case broadened out today, becom- ing a complex and possibly far reach ing situation threatening to affect some of the fundamental questions of naval warfare at issue between the United States and Germany.
 For that reason it was not finally decided whether the ship should be re- turned to her British owners under The Hague convention or held the fail Prussian- American treaty, although the indications remained that the lat ter course ultimately would be fol lowed.
