Question as to Armament Of Vessel.

WashtngtOn, Feb. /. - PerpleXtnS
questions of international law may
arise from the arrival Of the Appam in
Hampton Roads. First, the United
States must determine whether the
ship simply is prize of war, or
whether she has been supplied with
any armament which would give he.
the character of an auxiliary cruiser.
So far as naval authorities here know,
no case exactly like it has arisen to
concern the United states since the
beginning Of the war.
The German ships Kronprinz Will
helm and Prinz Eitel Friedrich. which
took refuge in Hampton Roads early
in the war. were auxiliary cruisers and
now are interned as such.
Might lnterne Prize Grow.
The Hage convention provides:
"A prize may only be brought into
a neutral port on account of unsea-
worthiness, stress of weather or want
Of fuel or provisions. 1t must leave
as soon as, the circumstances which
justify its entry are at an end. If It
does not the neutral power must order
1t to leave at once; should it fail to
obey, the neutral power must employ
the means at Its disposal to release
it with Its oicers and crew and to in
terne the prize crew."
In case the Appam can be considered
as an auxiliary cruiser she is entitled,
under international law, to certain
length of time to make necessary re-
pairss and load enough coal and pro-
4; syisions \ is 70 scsrrg her ta the nearest
home port. Sss 81 - 80
;s ~ s May es elockaded. @
In any event officials here regard
1t as q foregone conclusion that the
1Appam will remain in Hampton Roads
until the end of the war.
British cruisers patroling the Allan
tic, probably already advised Of the ar
rival of the Appam, will be steaming
for the Virginia .capes to guard the en-
trance outside the three mile limit.
AS merchant ship she could remain
voluntarily in port. and the only ques-
tion for the United States to determine
would be the disposition of the German
prize crew and the prisoners of war
which the ship carries.
The probabilities are that if the APP
pam still has the character Of mer-
chantman and the prize crew does not
elect to take the risk Of running the
gauntlet of British cruisers outside, the
customs collector will take charge of
the vessel and probably, after in
terning the prize crew, would return
the ship to her owners.
Bearing on Controversy.
The exploit of the German COM
mander in placing a crew from a sub
marine on merchant ship and sailing
her to port without loss of life may
have a bearing on the submarine con-
2troversy between the United States
and Germany, Some officials were in
clined to regard the feat as added evil
dence to support the contention of the
United States that even under modern
conditions of naval warfare a sub
marine can capture ship without loss
of life. ,iFi..,s5
