FEAR DISASTER
TO BRITISH LINER
WITH 800 ABOARD
Empty Lifeboat of Steamer APP
pam, Long Overdue, Sighted
at Sea.

LONDON. Jan. rs. l0.95 a. NJ
Grave anxiety is felt regarding the
British steamship Appam, which left
Dalsar for Plymouth on January IL
with 1G6 passengers and 134 in the
crew. When about four days out
wireless communication with the ves-
sci suddenly ceased. A dispatch from
Hun to Lloyds says that the British
steamship Tregantle reports having
passed at sea, on January l6, a life
boat with the name Appam painted
on the stern and the bow knocked
away.
For several days past concern has
been manifested in shipping circles
regarding the fate of the Appam,
many days overdue. on "a ten-day
trip from Dakar, in the French col
ony of Senegal, West Africa. for
Plymouth. In the insurance market
hope was nearly abandoned, and ii
was dificnlt to effect reinsurance
even at the high rate Of 10 guineas
per cent.
Two or three other steamships COM
ing in the same direction as the Ap-
pam are also overdue.
Among the 166 passengers on board
the Appam were colonial officials.
A report from Lisbon recently an
nounced that mines had been discov-
cred in the Bay of Biscay.
The lifeboat with the name Appam
painted on the stern, reported by the
steamship Tregantle. was passed by
that vessel in latitude 33.24 north
longitude 14.32 west.
The Appam, of 7,7S1 tons gross, 425
feet long and 81 feet beam. was built
in 1913 by Harland & Wolff, at Bel
fast, Ireland. She was owned by the

which for years have afforded hiding
places for outlaw bands. The posse
pursued the men to a muddy Doggy
creek, some distance from Boswell.
where they temporarily abandoned the
chase because of danger of attempting
to cross the stream. which is at flood
stage as a result of recent heavy
rains. The fugitives are believed to
have forded the creek in safety.
The men, only one of whom was
masked. entered the bank late this
afternoon. forced three bank officials
and several other persons into the
vault and fled on horses with all
the money they could gather.

COMMENT OF ENGLISH PRESS

| London, November 22.--The evening
newspapers comm enting upon the des III
of Emperor Francis Joseph, express the
opinion that it can have no effect on
the war because, as they say, of Ger
| man domination of Austria Hungary
both militarily and politically. The
Pail Mall Gazette says:
ut is improbable that the Emperors
death will make any vital difference,
political or military, in the situation.
It is true that the personal link of the
throne counts for much in the ram
shackle empire, and the prestige con-
! ferred by years and dramatic afflic-
| ton cannot be transmitted to the re-
putedly Indifferent princeling who now
receives the sceptre; but Austria has
passed the stage in which her own in
| stincts or sympathies can count for
much in one way or the other. She has
ceased to be an autonomous factor IN
the struggle. German leaders command
her armies, German politicians direct
| the course of her government, and the
I programme is already drawn up by
which she is to walk in the event Of a
victory or a respite for the central
| powers The dual monarchy
is at an end in every sense in a political
way"
