The whining advocates Of prohi-

that the saloon causes poverty and
that prohibition will end poverty.
Let's see how 1t works out. When
the Keatins-Owen bill was before the
House of Representatives, IS Con-
gressmen voted against It The Keat-
ing-Owen bill Is q measure prohibiting
child labor. The bill would emanci-
pate little tots of seven and ten years
old and keep them from taking mems
places in mills and factories. Just
thirty-six of the Congressman who vot-
ed against the bill were elected from
prohibition States. They opposed the
bill because more than 100000 chill
dren are employed in States that have
voted dry. The hypocrites who voted
for and worked for prohibition and
made the States dry are the same men
who vote to make slaves out OF little
children. and prevent men from doing
tho work for mans pay. The wicked
brewery has been run out OF these

Norfolk, Va, Feb. Given up for
lost days ago, the British passenger
liner Appam, plying in the west Afri-
can trade, sailed like an apparition
into Hampton Roads, flying the Ger
man naval ensign and with her ships
company under guard of German
prize crew. She brought word of a
mysterious German commerce raider,
the Moewe, which now roams the
seas, and had on board the crews of
seven British merchantmen and ad-
miralty transports captured by the
Moewe before she seized the Appam
and started her across the Atlantic
for an American port with Lieut.. Hans
Berge of the German naval reserve
and twenty-five men in charge.
The Appam now lies off Old Point
Comfort, under the guns of Fortress
Monroe. waiting for the State Depart
ment at Washington to determine her
subject to interment, or a German
prize
According to the story told with
great reserve by Lieut.. Berge to Col
lector Hamilton, when he formally re-
ported his presence in American ter
ritorial waters, the Moewe captured
the Appam, bound from Dakar,
French West Africa, for Liverpool,
after brief show of resistance, Jan.
16, sixty miles north of the Madeira
islands.
On board the Moewe then were the
crews of five vessels. previously cap
tured, all of whom we're transferred
to the Appam.
From all reports the raider is a con-
verted German merchantmen with a
false canvas forecastle concealing a
battery of guns of fairly large caliber
jan. II she engaged in battle an
Australian trader, the Clan MacTav-
ish, which she sank after an exciting
combat with loss of fifteen men
killed on the Clan MacTavish.
| The Appam, ten miles away at the
time in charge of the prize crew,
steamed hurriedly back to the scene
and rescued four members of the
crew of the sinking Clan MacTavish
struggling in the water.
On board the Appam, all told, are
452 persons. The prize crew OF twen-
ty-three; twenty German civilians
who are on their way to England for
interment: 13S seamen captured with
the British ships; 116 passengers on
the Appam, and the Appams crew of
155.
Lieut. Berge claims the Appam is
a prize of war, but government Off
cials have not yet accepted this view.
