Major league baseball clubs have al.
ready started their ann uryotutla77s
ready started their annual tryout OF
college players who have made good
on varsity diamonds this season.
While the scouts of the various lea
CUES have been rather liberal In their
recommendation It is not likely that
many OF these youngsters will be able
to successfully make the leap from
the college team 10 the big league COM
binations. Both the Philadelphia
Athletics and the New York Giants
are at present trying out several OF
the more promising Of the varsity re-
recruits and It may be that one or two
will stand the test.
The Giants will have Pitcher George
Smith OF Columbia; pitcher Way OF
Yale and second baseman Stafford
OF Tufts tryout and hope to develop
at least one of the trio before the sea-
son closes. Connie Mack has team
mate OF Stafford's in Carroll, former
catcher for Tufts, and pitcher Johnson,
Of Urinus working with the team. 9th
er clubs have added a collegian or two
to their ROSTERS within the past week
or two but owing to the closeness OF
| the race In the two leagues are loath
to use them in the play at this time

Of certain spectators In retaining foul
balls knocked into the stands and

factory results. The example made

has proved salutary and the club is
now using fewer balls than was the
case before the effort was made to
curb the practice.
The officials state that they were
forced to take action as a result OF

5000 are used during the season and
at Sl.o5 each they represented an

MORE THAN 400 PRISONERS
ABOARD APPAM RELEASED

Newport News, Feb. 3.-Nineteen
days of ceaseless vigil for the short
handed German prize crew aboard the
former British liner Appam ended to-
night when the last of the more than
four hundred British passengers and
prisoners landed on American soil and
prepared TO depart for England.
G. A. Tagliaferri, a naturahzed
American, aboard also landed. The
decision to let all land was made this
afternoon. Elder Demster & Com
pany, owners Of the Appam, had a
sharp CONTROVERSY with the British
embassy, as the company wanted its
crew to remain aboard to support the
claim that the Germans forfeit their
prize by remaining in neutral waters,
but the embassy overruled the COM
pany.

News of Arrival of Appan
at American Port Causes
Rejoicing
az AssOCTATFp PREss.

Berlin, Feb. S.-News of the ar
rival of the Appam at Old Point Com
fort and of the daring raids of a
German cruiser in the main lane of
sea traffic between South Africa and
Europe has aroused a new outburst
of enthusiasm for the navy. The
cruiser Moewe-in English the Sea
Gull-was enrolled Immediately on
the honor list with the Emden, Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and Karlsruhe. Her
feats are characterized as most dar-
ing, illustrative of the fact that the
spirit which animated the men on the
Emden is still alive, and that further
pages of German history are being
written.
There is no little mystery here re-
garding the identity of the Moewe.
Admiralty officials evidently were not
surprised at the news, but for obvious
reasons decline to give any infor7na-
ton about the cruiser or whence she
set out for her raids.
A vessel named Moewe is given in
the German navy list as a surveying
ship. She formerly was engaged in
survey work at the East African sta
ton The raider may have been this
craft, although it seems improbable
that this little steamer of $50 tons
with. a speed of only nine knots could
accomplish the exploits in question:.
II may have been that some larger
steamer, assuming the name Moewe
when converted into an auxiliary
cruiser, slipped through the British
lines. A precedent Of this nature
exists in>fhe case Of the German mer-
chairman which was converted into
the auxiliary cruiser Meteor which
sank the British patrol boat Ramsey
and other ships in the North Sea last
summer and subsequently was de-
stroyed.
The German surveying ship Moewe
was sunk by gun6re on August 9,

of the Middle West are with him on
the issue of national defense. He
Is due in Washington at / o'clock to-

Wilson's advisers believe he has ex-

won many converts and he believes
that the people, at least in the Middle
West, are overwhelmingly with him.
His advisers now want him to make
another tour, and nearly all southern
states are urging him TO visit them.
If he makes another tour, he probably

apo1is or st. Paul, then to Denver,
Texas, and back via New Orleans,

stefan said today he is in fine physical
shape, and the trip was beneficial.
It Is estimated that one hundred
thousand heard his chief speeches and
fifty thousand heard ffve-minute( talks
from the train.
Wilson received from Lansing to-
day what members of the party char
acterized as ''very important dis
patches" relating to the foreign sit
uation. It is understood they related
to the Lusitania and Appam cases.
Final settlement OF the Lusitania
case Is expected soon after Wilson's
arrival I'm Washington. It is under
stood he Is determined that Germany
shall make full disavowal and repara-
ton.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-Eight lives
have been lost and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars damage done by
floods in Arkansas. Hundreds of fam
lilies are homeless and there is much
suffering. T. L. Tertius, civil engi-
neer, was drowned crossing a creek

wood and three at Reedville.
Fifty persons, including many wo-
men, and children escaped on a raft

they had been marooned. Several
hundred negro convicts were rescued
from a penal farm 1evee at Cum
mings.
Reports from Helena today stated
that the levee at New Augusta, on the
White river gave way last night, in
undating a large section. Five miles
of track on the Memphis branch of
the Iron Mountain railroad was
washed out. Three negroes were
drowned and another negro frozen to

Decision is Reached
BY ASSOCIATED PRuss.

Washington, Feb. 3.-oficials OF
the state department are still unde-
cided whether to rule with the British
that the Hague convention provides
that the Appam be returned to the
British owners, or with Germany,
that the ancient Prussian-Anerican
treaty allows Germany to keep it's
prizes in United States ports. If they
rule against Germany 1t may have a
bearing on the negotiations over Ger
many's singing of the American ship
William P. Frye.
British officials claim that Germany
expected to lose the Appam, but de-
iberately had the Appam brought to
the United States to test the sound
ness of Germany's original contention
that the sinking Of prizes is necessary
in modern naval warfare.

Darkest Pictures Drawn Of

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The darkest pic
lures drawn Of privation and pesti
lence in Poland have failed to portray
the extent Of misery Of the war suf
ferers there, st was said today by two
Americans who have made personal
investigation. They are Frederick G.
Walcott, European representative Of
the Rockefeller foundation and Cas-
par Whitney of the American com
mission for relief in Belgium. These
men have just returned from a fort
nights trip through Poland for in
vestigation Of the need Of relief.
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Walcott say
there. is virtually no food left except
potatoes and a small amount Of -four.
Little fuel remains. Typhus and other
diseases prevail. Thousands Of per-
sons whose homes were destroyed
during the Russian retreat are with
out shelter. Thirty per cent Of the
population is absolutely dependent
on relief.
Countless villages were burned by
the Russians and their homeless IN
habitants in many cases are living IN
dugouts. Forty thousand persons who
sifted back through the Russian lines
are in concentration camps. Fortu-
nately the winter thus far has been
exceptionally mild Little live stock
is left and accordingly there Is no
meat or fat food for. the people. The
fact that they are living almost ex-
clusively on potatoes has resulted in
stomach diseases.

Speaker Clark Fathers Res
o1ution Creating a New
Standing Committee
.SPARKMAN OPPOSED
TO NEW COMMITTEE
Declared It Would Conflict
With the Rivers and
Harbors Work
81 Assoc1ATEp PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 3.-What was
pronounced to be the first positive
step on the part of the federal gov
eminent towards control of floods was
taken today by the house when it
passed 8 resolution creating flood
control committee as one of the COM
mittees. Speaker Clark, who intro
duced the resolution, declared the
purpose was to investigate the great
est economic problem of the next gen
Grafton and to expedite the work of
the house. He said the new committee
will make a scientific investigation of
the flood situation of the whole
country.
For several hours the house debated
the resolution. The resolution was
opposed by Representative Sparluman
Of Florida, chairman of the rivers and
harbors committee, on the ground Of
infringing on the jurisdiction of his
committee. Representatives from both
sides of the chamber and particularly
from the Mississippi valley supported
the resolution.
Representative Caraway, of Arkan-
sas, said every county in his district
was at present under water. He urged
not only the creation of the committee
but the passage of a relief measure
for Arkansas flood sufferers. Repre-
sentative Taylor, also of Arkansas,
told Of the unprecedented flood of the
Arkansas river at Pine Bluff and de-
scribed the suffering of flood victims
In his district.
Representative Chiperfeld, of Illi-
nois declared that congress had failed
to take up the fight against the floods
because first one committee and then
another had shifted the responsibility
for food legislation and all the time
men and women were losing their
lives.
Representative Sparlunan spoke of
the liberalty of the rivers and harbors
committee in making appropriations
to build levees along the Mississippi
in the past and the desirability of car
rying on that work. "But the moment
this resolution is passed" he predicted
petitions for levee building and other
flood control work will come in from
every navigable and nonnavigable
stream in the United States. It would
take billions of dollars TO carry on
that work. Where will the committee
stop in its work? The new chairman
may be very honest man, but how
long will he be able to withstand the
pressure for action 2"

Dutch Anti-Aircraft Guns
Bring Down Zeppelin In

London, Feb. 3.-There have been
heavy bombardments on the western
front, especially near Lens, held by
the British and around Melville, were
the Germans recently captured French
positions. Many London newspapers
believe the Germans are preparing
for monster effort to reach Calais.
On the Russian and Italian fronts and
others there are fierce artillery duels
at different places. An Athens dis
patch says the allies repulsed Bull
garian detachments in a brief battle
at junction of the Greek, Serbian
and Bulgarian frontiers.
News is lacking regarding the eau
casus operations but an Amsterdam
dispatch says the Germans admit
Turkish failures in the Caucasus.
A Zeppelin and probably all her
crew has been lost in the North Sea.
Dutch anti-aircraft guns fired fully
fifty shots at Zeppelin Wednesday,
according to reports here tonight and
this is believed to be the one.
An English trawler today reported
sighting the Zeppelin Lie partly sub
merged with her crew hanging to the
gas envelope. The trawleE did not
try to rescue the men because the
Zeppelin crew far outnumbered the
tlawleiss crew. The srawler instead,
hurried to the nearest British port
and advised the British admiralty.
The Dutch, it is presumed, fired at
the Zeppelin because she tried to pass
over their territory.
