BRITISH CLAIM
CAPTURE ILLEGAL
Washington Officials Face Toying
Situation in the Appam Affair.
BY Pao. and Int'l News Service.

y rAS. ano tnrI NEWS service.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 2.-The
state department will decide before
the end OF the week what disposition
to make of the Appam which was
brought into Norfolk by German
prize crew.
The British owners claim that the
capture is illegal and have demanded
that the ship be returned to them.
The Germans claim that the treaty
of 1893 gives the United States and
Germany the right to bring prizes into
each others ports, and that therefore
the Appam is entitled to remain at
Norfolk as long as Germany desires 10
keep her there.
Secretary OF State Lansing admits
that the treaty referred to by Ger.
many is applicable If the Appam is n
war prize. but he intimates that there
is question whether or not 1t could
be considered naval auxillery.
The navy department experts are in
chneu 10 tnlnk that the snip shouiu
be placed in the status OF an auxillery
because she stood by when the Nc
lavish was sunk by submarine and
carried the captured crews.
Carried $2,5oo,0oo.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-According to the
London Evening News the Appam
carried bullion to the value of $2.500,.
600.
Says Appam Not AuxiIIery.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 2, 2
o'cloc6 p. ma special neutrality
board holds that the Appam prize is
not a naval auxlllery. If the state
department stands by this decision 1t
means that the ship will be returned
to the British owners.

OCEAN TO OCEAN
HIGHWAY Road

BY Pae. and int'i News Services.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Feb. 2.-Many
prominent men interested in good
roads gathered here today for the
third annual convention OF the Pixies
Peak ocean-to-ocea Highway asso-
citation, of which c. F. Adams of
Chillicothe. Mo-, is president. The
principal topic OF discussion was the
means to be taken to extend the road
eastward to the Atlantic coast and
westward to San Francisco.
East of indianapolis, the highway
now connects with and uses the route
OF the National Old Trails road. An
alignment south of the Old Trails
through Cincinnati, Chillothe, Parkers-
burg, w. Va, and thence to Baltimore
and Washington has been suggested,
as a possible new line. Another line
between the Old Trails and the Lin
coin Highway has also been investi-
gated by the committee on eastern ex-
tension and this is by way OF Pitts
burg, following the general line of the
Pennsylvania railroad through Blairs-
vile, Harrisburg. to Philadelphia.
The Pixies Peak Ocean-toOcean
Highway has been recognized by
many national authorities as one OF
the three main transcontinental
routes. It is now completely marked
with red-and-white bands all the way
from indianapolis to Salt Lake City,
and before the beginning of the 1916
season enamelled steel signs will be
in place along the entire route.

cold spell. The cities face a water
famine as result of the snow and
ice which has clogged the Highland

WANT ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES GROWTH

Tho directors of the Associated
Charities met yesterday afternoon at
the Commercial Club rooms and de-
cided to begin membership campaign
on May LIST. The association is going
to need some ready funds, as they
have now on hand a very needy and
worthy case in the family of the Mex
lean whose leg was broken last Sat
urday afternoon. This family is ut
terly destitute and will need regular
help for several months. 1t is eX-
pected that the county will aid and
the Latin Protection Society Is prom
ising assistance. The Associated
Charities has placed the membership
dues at 81 per year and will collect
81 to cover the time from now until
October next. Ii is hoped that every
man and woman in Mesa will enroll
in this most worthy work. because the
systematic investigation that will be
made on each case will to a large
extent insure the distribution of char
ity to those who are really in need.
In connection with the above it is
pleasing to note the attitude of the
Latin society toward the Charities or
ganization. Their president. Mr.. Men
doza, wrote the president of the Asso
ciated organization addressing him as
brother" and stated that certain
funds collected in behalf of the injured
man would he handed to the Associ-
ated Charities to handle. This spirit
of co-operatNn is producing very
friendly attitude locally between the
MeXiCans and Americans.
