Twenty-nine Missouri writers

1--WE hope to enroll all Mis-

Lee Shippey of the Higginsville
Jeffersonian, who was elected
president at the annual meeting.
1.-THE Guild is doing some worth
while things for Missouri and
for Missouri writer's. We hope
to inspire more interest in writ
ing about Missouri subjects. Our
state is rich in all kinds of liter
airy material. Through our Or
ganization we can give beginners
some of the advantages of sue
cessful writer's experiences"
There is no better training for
writing than that given by the
School of Journalism, according
to Mr.. Shippey. When w. H.

airy work several years ago he
took a special course in the Eng
fish department here. He is now
one of the most successful mag
azine writer's in the country.

IS RULE OF COURT
Held That Prize Crew For
feited Rights When Ship
Was Brought Into
Neutral Port

Norfolk, Va. July 2s.-Possession of the
British liner Appam, brought into Hamp-
ton Roads last February by German
prize crew, was awarded today to her
English owners, the African Steam Navi-
cation company, by Judge Waddll of
the federal district court. An appeal will
be taken when the opportunity is given
next Wednesday, and the final decision in
the libel proceedings probably will be by
the supreme court
In the meantime, the Appam will stay
at Newport News in the custody Of the
United States marshal or will be turned
over to her owners under bond. Her
cargo has been sold for s634,o00. and the
money is being held by the court.
What is to become of Lieutenant Berg,
the prize commander, and his crew of 22
men must be determined by the state de-
partment at Washington. They have been
living aboard the Appam,, claiming her as
the property of the German government,
but the general belief here is that they
now will be interned along with the men
of the German raiders laid up here.
