Wants the Appam
 Returned to Owners

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb G. British Ambassador Spring-Rice, rep resenting his government, made for nal demand of this government for the return of the steamship Appam to its owners yesterday afternoon. In making his demand the British ambassador cited several instances of a like nature to that of the Ap- pam, although 1t Is generally con sidered that the diplomatic question raised by her appearance in Ameri- can water with a German prize crew in charge of her Is most perplexing
 Secretary Lansing says that he has not yet decided just what to do in the case of the Appam. He says that there are two international treaties which might be construed so as to cover the case of the boat
 and states that he has not yet de- cided whether the case comes un- der The Hague agreement or under an ancient treaty between the Unit ed States and Prussia regarding the seizure of steamers and other craft

Germany Will Not Admit That Sinking of Lusitana Was Illegal Act--- Crisis Is at Hand-Washington Consid- CTS Situation Grave--No Official Word as Yet Trans mitted--German Concessions Have Reached Limit

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The newspapers of this city are today publishing articles which purport to be au- thoritative but which are not off cial, to the effect that Germany will, under no circumstances, admit that the sinking of the steamship Lusitania was an illegal act as re- gards international law. They fur ther state that the note which Is to be sent to the United States by the German government will be a direct contradiction of the ale cations and claims of the American government; that it will be only eight words in length, and that the word illegal will not appear in the note. In fact, it is stated that the sentiment expressed in the new note will be nothing more than regret for the sinking of the big liner and the sacrificing of SO many lives, and that 1t will represent the ex- treme limit in Germany's conces- sions as regards the Lusitania incl dent. And 1t Is further stated that new instructions along this line have been sent to Washington to German Ambassador von Bernstorf,

 And last, but not least, he was laid low with a club in the hands of the shippers sturdy wife
 When the Sehome put into port here, the skipper, his wife and the crew all heaved a sigh of relief as they saw the young mutineer turned out of the brig and put into the hands of city detectives Ware Is waiting the action of federal au- thorities. He spent six weeks in confinement and when he was brought forth from the recesses of his pris- on he presented sorry figure, although still vowing to be avenged.
 Captain Peltz, Oscar Anderson, Helmsman Joe Holme, First Officer Harry Shaw, and other members of the crew still bear evidence of the terrific fight Ware made to gain possession of the ship which was loaded with copra, consigned to Olson & Mahoney.
 Ware was shipped as second mate in Sydney. He had no papers, but proved he was a good seaman. Shortly after the ship cleared Syd- ney with Mrs. Peltz and Miss Rich ardson, the only women passengers, Ware began to annoy Miss Richard son with his attentions.
 Police are Investigating stories that Ware is alleged to have told the crew that he had murdered a Canadian mounted policeman. It is said he intimated, too, that he had committed other crimes.
