THE APPAM-.-AND AFTER.
WARD

1t is impossible in the present state
of knowledge about the capture OF
the Appam, to discuss very intelli-
gently the consequences. The ves-
sci was brought into Hampton roads
with a four-inch gun mounted; but
it is not certain whether the fin
was mounted when the vessel was
captured. If it was not mounted,
the Appam was mere merchant
man; if it was mounted, she may be
held to have been an auxiliary
cruiser.
If she was a merchantmen, she
must be subjected to prize court
procedure in Germany. If she was
an auxiliary cruiser, she is Ger
man government property, the cap
ture being sufficient to give the title.
But back of all these questions is
one of more importance than the
ownership of any particular ship on
any sea. There was a perfectly
good reason, under old conditions of
warfare, why a merchant ship car
rying guns and prepared to fight,
should be regarded as a warship. She
could fight, and her armament was
presumptive evidence of her intent
to do it if need arise.
The present war developed an en-
tirely new situation in this regard.
Submarines, lifting their periscopes
out of the sea, have fired their deadly
missiles without warning or inquiry
or opportunity for ships companies
to escape alive. The merchant char
acter of ship has been absolutely
no protection to ship or people
against the murderous submarine
Therefore, if to be utterly unarmed
and incapable of offense has carried
no guarantee whatever of the safety
of lives on board, what reason is
there for leaving a merchantmen un-
armed and absolutely at the mercy
of the submarine. A single well.
directed shot, timely and luckily
placed, would be enough to wreck
the submarine. Why should not the
merchantmen take the chance of it
considering that whether or not il
tries to defend itself it is certain tc
get no consideration
If the submarines had not perpe
trated such horrors as the Lusitania
the Ancona, the Persia, and the rest
of the pitifully long category of as
saults on humanity; if they had
made it business to insure safety
of neutral and non-combatant life
the old rule about any armed YES
sci being a warship could justifi
ably have stood. But when to bt
utterly unarmed was made-no'
only by Germany, but also by Aus
tria and by Turkey-the mere GER
tainty of falling sure and easy vic
tim to barbarism, there was NJ
longer reason for omitt;ng any pre-
caution that might in the slightes
measure increase the hope of escape
1t becomes, then, serious questio,
whether a merchantmen, even i
armed for defense, must be treated
as a naval vessel.
Into the determination of thi
delicate and difficult question, de
termination that must make a prec
edent for the future, the Unite'
States is dragged by the undesire'
presence of the Appam at Hampton
Roads. Perhaps, she was sent ther
for the very purpose OF embarrass
ing this country. That is imma
terial. The fact is that she is there
and that the United States must de
eide it's position toward this set o
questions. AS matters now stand, t
compel every merchantmen to g.
absolutely unarmed would be to Ell
force a rule leading lambs to III
slaughter.

ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian Of Denmark Put Them Up
for Security of Dowry When His
Daughter Married James III.

No other territory In the British en-
pire has q more tragic Significance to
Englishmen today than the Orkney Is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
dnguished victim Of the world war.
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 90 in number, OF
which only 30 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field of operations,
but ON account Of their semi-lsolation
and the advantage of the superb har-
Dor Of Stromness, in the largest island
Of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles.
While the original Inhabitants Of
the islands were Picts, whose round
towers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins Of this re-
gion, the Morse pirates secured
foothold here during the early centuries
of the Christian era, and carried ON
their depredations against all naviga-
tors of the North sea. In the last
quarter Of the ninth century Harold
Haarfagr put an end to the rule Of
the pirates, and added both the 0rk-
>neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 146S the Orkneys
came under the sway Of the Scottish
crown, Christian CT Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
of james III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained part
of Scotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the 0rcades
Of classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many Of the episodes in Sir
Walter Scott's novel, "The Pirate" the
character of that romance being john
Cow, the notorious freebooter born in
Stromness and captured off the Is
lands in 17o5. Another literary u.s.

Navajo Therapeutics.

The Medical Council, medical
magazine of Philadelphia, In an article
by DIR. Basil A. Warren, who Is In
charge of the United States govern,
meat hospital at Leupp, Ariz., de-
scribed some of the methods employed
by the Navajo Indians in the treat
ment of diseases. The NavajOs have
q strong belief in demons or evil splr-
its and think that when body is bur-
led care must be taken to cover
up all tracks of those who left the
grave so that the demons attending
the burial could not follow them to
their hOgaL-the hogan Is the rude
hut of the Indlans-and do them harm.
The chief measures used In treating
disease are singing, dancing and in
vocations. The singing ilea is much
in favor and might perhaps be adopt
ed by civilization in some cases to the
exclusion of less palatable pOtlOna
Certain songs are specific for certain
diseases, but the song to be effective
must be sung without q single error.
These songs are not to be sung by
quacks or irregulars, and to keep out
such practitioners tie regular profess
sion employs language which is not
understood by any but themselves, a
dead language which the Indians be-
lieve was spoken by "the ancient holy
people,"
