Mr.. Gore Issues Statement,

In a statement issued today relating
to the submarine issue, Senator Gore
said, in part:
"Of course, I do not know whether or
no the nations do but murmur. snarling
at each others heels I think that upon
the surface ! can catch a glimpse of a
danger signal. / think that l can see
buoy upon rock.
Il know that the American people
with practical unanimity favor peace
and oppose war. The browning glory
of the present administration is the
fact that the President, in the midst of
the most delicate and difficult circum-
stances, has kept the peace. He has
practically secured recognition of the
principle that unarmed merchant ships
shall not be destroyed without notice
This Is the greatest triumph which
diplomacy has achieved in modern
times and 1t puts to shame the bloody
triumphs and trophies of war.
Between an armed merchant shin
and an unarmed merchant ship there
is a fundamental difference of fact and
character against which 1t is futile to
close our eyes. We might as well shut
our eyes at noontime and assert that
it was midnight.

ignoring 1t.

Absence of Convoy
FOrfeits Prize.
LETTER ADMITTED
ON GERMAN PROTEST
Position of Ship When Captured
Held TO Show She Be-
longed In Emden.

Norfolk, Va, May 12.-British own
ers OF the German prize ship Appsm
began their effort TO recover posses
sion of tho vessel in Federal Court here
to-day with the submission OF a letter
from Secretary Lansing to Ambassador
Won Bernstorf expressing the opinion
that the Appam did not fall under the
protection clauses Of the Prusslan-
American treaty.
The Secretary's letter, holding 70
view opposite TO that which II had been
understood was entertained by the
State Department, was admitted IN evil
dence by Judge Waddill over the pro-
test of attorneys for the German gov
eminent, and Lieutenant Hans Berg,
the prize commander, joint defendants
in the owners libel suit.
Three officers OF the Appam's British
crew testified at to-day's hearings as

refuge in neutral ports under sucn
circumstances as existed in the Appam

ish registry also was introduced IN
evidence and accepted over an obJee'

made the point that the Appam came
into Hampton Roads, not in custody OF
German warship, but purely as mer-
chant prize and alone. The Prussian-
American treaty. he held. extended pro,
lection to a prize only when conveyed
into mort by war vessel.
IL is understood tonight that the
German Ambassadors reply sharply
combating the position Of Secretary
Lansing, which never has been MADE
public. would be submitted to the court
later by the German counsel, and that
n reioinder from the Secretary might
also be put in evidence.
The Appam's position when captured
was given by her officers to-day as
about 100 miles from the point given
bv Lieutenant Berg. The owners say
she was about 1900 miles nearer En-
den than Norfolk. and that her captors
were bound BY international law TO
take her into the German port rather
than across the Atlantic.

SENDS CHAUFFEUR
TO PENITENTIARY
Judge Mott Holds Fines Have
Failed to Protect Lives.

"The time has come in this city to
call halt upon drivers Of automobiles
who persist in disregarding the rights
Of others by speeding" said Judge Mott
in General Sessions yesterday as ne
sentenced John Riordan, public ehaut-
feur, to the penitentiary for running
down and manning Miss Lillian Carlson.
Of II West lO2d Street, last August.
"Of 5000 convicted in the magis-
trates' courts for speeding last year
many were third and fourth offenders.
All but twelve got off with fines. This
is a sad commentary on efforts being
made TO protect human life in the
streets Of this city. Years of experience
show that fines do not stop drivers
from carelessness and overspeeding."
Miss Carlson was walking across
Central Park West in the evening
when she was struck. kiordan's lamps
were not lighted and he did not stop
his car after he had run the young
woman down. He was indicted for first
degree assault and pleaded guilty TO
assault in the second degree.
