CAPTURE OF THE APPAM
May Precipitate Another Issue BE-
tween United States and ter
many.

Norfolk, Va. Feb. 2-Loommg "
through the fog which curtalned 1h'
Virginia capes came in the early dawI
Yesterday the steamer Appam. From
her mast flew the German naval Ell
sign She was German prize-cap'
tured somewhere on the high seas b1
mysterious raider which alread!
had sent seven British ships to the
bottom.
The Appam was British liner. She
piled between the British isles ant
West African ports. Two weeks age
she was reported missing. After
week it was considered certain that
she had met with disaster at sea. 1t
was almost impossible to carry her
insurance. And now thousands of miles
from her charter course, she moored
to . dock in Norfolk with % Ger
man officers and men standing guard
as they have for more than two weeks
over shipload Of British officers,
seanen and passengers.
The capture was made on the Can
arv Islands and the vessel crossed the
Atlantic, a distance of approximately
4,2OO miles, with a prize crew on board
and German commander ON the
bridge.
Among the persons on board the
Appam were passengers taken from
other British ships which had been
sunk by the armed German tramp.
In command Of the prize ship is a
stout German named Berge, Before
going on the ship he had been second
in command of the Moewe, a ship OF
mystery. 1t came from somewhere
and is somewhere" now.
The Appam is a brand-new ship Of
7.7Sl tons and with her cargo is val
ued ait S1,500,000. Her commander
when she left Dakar. Capt H. g..
Harrison, gave this story Of the cap
ture:
"On January Is, four days after the
Appam left port, she was overhauled
by swift but disreputable-looking
tramp steamer near the Canary Is
lands. The tramp. which was recogn'z-
ed as German opened fire, in the mean
time signalling the Appam to heave
to. The Appam tried to fee, but the
shells from the tramp began falling
on board, and when several persons
had been wounded it was decided to
give up"
Washington. Feb. 2-Whether the
United States government decides to
intern the British steamer Appam
which arrived in Hampton Roads yes
terday in charge of German prize
crew, or decides to release her and
turn her over to the British owners.
officials of the State Department are
anticipating trouble.
Whichever way the decision goes,
it is realized that warm diploma
tic dispute is in prospect either with
Great Britain or Germany.
The indications at present are that
the vessel will be interned, although
officials are careful to say that such
predictions are subject to modifica'
ton in the light of material infor
nation yet to be received.
If the United States decides to in
tern her, it is stated, it will be either
on the ground that the Appam, since
capture. has been converted into /;
German naval auxiliary, or that th<
treaty of 1878. between Prussia ant
the United States, obligates this gov
ernment to grant an asylum to Ger
man prizes.

You run no risk, as l guarantee one bottle to benefit any case of Pellagra, Rheuma- tism, or anythicg arising from impure blood or disease of the liver or kidneys, or the one dollar refunded and no quee- tions asked. l do not want your dollar if l do not benefit you. G. s. has al most worked wonders many times and is without an equal, and you can not value it high enough.
