Who Owns the Prize Ship Appam?
(By United Press)

Norfolk, Va, April 18.-One phase
Ct the European war will come up fol
settlement by the judge Of United
States court here today when repre-
eentatives Of England and German
will appear before Judge WaddIll t.
claim ownership Of the prize ship AP-
lam, the British steamer captured Of
the high seas by the phantom German
raider Moewe and brought TO Hamp-
ton Roads port by German naval men.
Germany claims the United States
government should surrender the Ap-
ram to Germany en- the ground that
the steamer was captured as a prize
Of war and was compelled 10 put in
at the neutral port Of Hampton Roads
because she was in an unseaWorthy
condition.
Lieutenant Berg. commander Of the
prize crew Of the Appam, contends
that making this port under these
conditions leaves the vessel and cargo
legally a German prize, entitled to be
taken back to Geramny and kept as
German property.
Berg cites treaty Ct 1928 between
the United States and Germany tc
rphold this theory.
The English representative claim
that when the Appam touched Hamp-
ton Roads port the question Of her
legal possession automatically came
under the jurisdiction of the neutral
government; and that, because she
was originally owned by British sub
jects, she should be turned over TO the
British owners by the neutral govern,
ment.

New York, April 15.-Oh, the f.ow-
crs that bloom in the spring, ira Ia.
and the dresses that hook up the back
are making a simultaneous debut,
Steadily and insidiouSly hooks and
snaps and buttons are sneaking to the
lear and in consequence the fingers Of
all poor BenedictS are due to turn to
thumbs for the summer months and
bear the brunt of many pinch and
scratch from an obstreperous hook or
an obstinate button.
Although all their work is done be-
hind your back, there is nothing reti-
cent or retiring about the buttons used
to hold your apparel together in the
lear.
In fact, quite feature is made of
necessity, and the buttons. though gem
orally small, are OF ornate shapes, de-
signs and colorings. Quaint little
round colored and white glass affairs
they are.
Others enameled in bright -hued
plaids or wee little nosegays of flow
ers, square and heXagon and oval
shapes and other smart ones covered
in the material of which the dress is
made or in which it is trimmed.
Crochet buttons also are popular.
Even if all the brass buttons have
gone to the front, it appears there
ere still divers and sundry other sorts
70 go to the rear.
With the full skirts and tight bodices
and bell sleeves Of the moment, the
back fastening really fits into the gen.
eral scheme of things most effective
" and, while in some instances frocks
may make a feature of buttonlng
straight down the front. you will find
the very newest and smartest wrinkle
is to do your buttoring up behind-or
let George do it.
You must lookt your feet this sum-
mer as assiduously as you have in
the winter. for others surely will look
there and, looking once, it is up to
YOU whether they will care to look
again.
The short, full skirt, limiting Of
hoops and crinoline, are first aids to
generous display of silken hose and
shoes of kid and a smartness.
All black stockings will be glimpsed
but rarely, but black and white will be
on many a well-tnrned limb and will
occasion many well-turned head.
Black and white stripes running
around for those as can wear EN- and
running up and down for those as can't
are very much in the running and
range from pin stripes to inch wide
bands.
White hose embroidered in black up
the instep or the sides of the ankle
are good and all delicate tints of flesh,
gray, maize and baby blue Will be pop
,lar.
The white kid shoes, both high and
low, is in its heyday and low plain
pumps and slippers of softest pearl
gray kid, beige and all delicate pastel
tints to go with the fluffy summer
silks and organdies are to be featured
on all the best feet.
Black patent kid and black satin
slippers will be greatly in demand al
so, with light colored hosiery, because
of the pronounced Spanish flavor Of
our present dressing.
Take nine inches off skirt and
then add two cute mot cube) feet, and
the answer to this sartorial sum is

CHICAGO, June lO.-'lhe second break
in the ranks of the favorite sons came
carly today. Following the withdrawal
of Governor Bumbaugh after the first
ballot yesterday, the managers of Law
renee y. sherman gave up the ship
about dawn. Illinois will Join the
Hughes forces on the fist ballot today,
and sherman delegates from other
States are expected TO follow Breaks
in the Allied ranks are expected soon
after halloting is under way until che
field is narrowed down 90 three or four
men.
Favorite Sons Row was NOT a CHEEKY
spot along about 4 a. m. today. sruz-
zled managers slipped away for a few
hours rest after n series Of long CON
fercnces, but il was evident the pow
vows had avaled nothing i'm the way
of combination TO head Off Hughes
The managers of Burton. Fairbanks
Cummins and Root were ready to re-
new the battle. but they had not
agreed on one of the number to be
the recipient of their combined
strength
Individually. they declared II nos
timing as they began-each favOrite
son for himself But none was will
ing TO say Hughes might not win If an
attempt was made to narrow the fight
to Hughes and enc favorite son. Over
tures were made during the night by
Hughes managers, frst to this favor
ite son aud then to that. offering
them the Presidency for delivery
of strength TO Hughes The Vice
Presidential bait did not appear at
tractive. as all realized the moment
they began dickering for second place
their chance for first place would go
glimmering.
A number Of different plans we're
under consideration by the favorite
son managers today. One of them
was to start a movement for Senator
Warren G. Harding in the hope that
the favorite son delegates might he
able to combine on him and thus de-
feat Hughes Another was 10 test out
the vote getting ability Of one favor
ite son and then the other in an effort
to discover the strongest.
Several members Of the Ohio dele
CATION said the Cummins managers
had offered to throw the Cummins
strength to Harding. provided the
Burtonites would do the same.
Uninstructed delegates were being
watched by the managers of every
favorite son cntrant Word was com
ing in early today that first one un-
instructed State and then another
would break away and so to Hughes.

EDITORIAL OPINION

acknowledging the loss Of these two
vessels, the neutral world will natur-
ally be somewhat skeptical about ac
cepting the revised list of casualties
as a complete accounting. Might there
not be military reasons" for sup
pressing the news of additional
losses?
On the face of the admissions so
far made by both sides the German
High Sea Fleet inflicted considera-
bly, more damage than it suffered in
the battle off Jutland But is the ap-
parent balance a real balance? When
a government begins to confess de-
ceptiOn in its official bulletins II must
face a serious depreciation in the con-
fidence with which its claims Of vic
tory will be received both at home
and abroad.
The Japanese suppressed the news
of some OF their naval losses in the
war with Russia until the war was
over. Such a policy on the part OF a
bolligerent is understandable. If Ger
many had followed it. she would have
been justified in a military sense. But
why play fast and loose in such mat
ters? Berlin had its victory on paper,
Now the Admiralty by its own action,
has subjected its paper to a very in
furious foreign discount

THAT COUNTY AMBULANCE.

n ORE than week ago the members of the Phoe-
WINK Fire Company criticized severely by
many persons because of their refusal send their
ambulance several miles out Of city to handle
automobile accident
We defended the fremen the ground that the re-
fusa based on well-understood rule that the
Phoenix ambulance should be used only in the metro
poitan district and that neither the fire company
this city under any obligation to supply ambu-
lance service to the rural sections Of such rich and
populous county New Castle.
AS solvent we suggested that the county through
us Levy Court, purchase and operate automo-
bile ambulance and that its work be restricted the
rural district Just the Phoenix work is and ought
10 De- restricted to the metropolitan district We also
suggested that the county ambulance be stationed at
Fahhurst or in this city and be held in readiness al
all times to respond 10 rural district calls
1t Is pleasing to us to that the Trustees OF the
Poor approve OF that suggestion; that an ambulance
committee has been appointed and that the budget pre
pared for submission TO the court carries with il an
appropriation for a rural ambulance service We hone
the Levy Court will approve the project
The rural district should have an ambulance cor
vice which they command at any time
Il is futile for them TO look to the Phoenix prro
Company the city Of Wilmington to supply IT,
In short. those rural districts must meet their own
needs in that direction.
They should do it without further OF time.
