NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson Is
understood to hold the opinion that
the British steamship Appam, brought
into the Hampton Roads by German
crew, must be considered as a prize
OF Germany under the Prussian- Amer
lean treaty Of 1928. 1t was stated
that this accords with the view OF the
state department. The president has
not had an opportunity to discuss
with Secretary Lansing the details of
the case and therefore no final decis.

Given up for lost days ago, the Brit

the West African trade, appeared like
an apparition in Hampton Roads, off
the Virginia coast, flying the German

and had on board the crews of seven

transports captured by the Moewe be.

weight, very rapidly.
Il was In such low state that
] had to give UP my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact I
was not quite as well as when I left
home. My food did not sustain me
and 1t became plain that I must
change.
Il began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks could walk mile, and In
hve weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again
Since that time have felt as well and
strong as ever did In my life.
As a physician who seeks to help
