OWNERS OF APPAM
LOSE BY VERDICT

New York, June 20.-On the grotlnd
that submission to capture by a ship
constitutes abandonment Of the cargo
entrusted to 1t. the federal court here
dismissed the suit of the owners of
the British steamship Appam to re-
cover as freight money the proceeds
Of the sale Of her perishable cargo.
The Appam was captured In January,
1915, off the Canary islands, while
bound from British West Africa for
England. by the German raider Moewe.
Her prize crew subsequently brought
her into Hampton Roads. Pa, where
she was returned to the British own
ers by the supreme court, which held
that the title OF the captors was for
fetted by breach of American neu-
trality in overstaying the time allowed
a belligerent in a port of this country
as a neutral.
The British and American Steam
Navigation company, Limited, then
sued for the freight money. on the
ground that this restitution consti-
tuted recapture.

With .24S as the average with SO few
IN around 800 you can understand
why 1t Is that Wagner and l.ajoic in

Cobb's 12-ycar average is around .370

2O.-The building Of the newspaper
Russkia VOLTA, Petrograd's richest and

seized this afternoon by. a corps OF

hated by the anarchists because 1t
strongly supported the provisional
government and attacked the extrem-
lists. Many of the anarchists were
arrested.

FIRE INSURANCE - COMP PAN|ES HAVE
 GUT VALDEZ OUT

Advices recently received here from Valdez are to the effect that three large insurance companies hay ing agencies there have concluded to "cut out" the coast city as far as insurance Is concerned. The con flagration which took place early this month was the reason for the decision on the part of the com panies, according to statements made relative to their action, for. coupled with the fact that all of them lost heavily in the fire of but little more than year before, their losses at Valdez have been very great.
 The companies which have dis continued their agencies at Valdez are the First Association of Phila- delphia, the Fire Underwriters of Philadelphia, and the Norwich Union, an English company. It is under stood that the agents who formerly conducted the business of the above named companies at Valdez are ar ranging to re-write the policies. which will become void, in other com panies.

NORTHERN BOOK
 IS INTERESTING

The Klondike Clan" by s. Hall
 Young, D. D., genuine old sour
 dough and not so long ago one of
 our own esteemed toWnsmen. is about the most interesting story Of
 the trail of '97 ever written, as any one who took part in that wild stam- pede will admit. Welcome as the flowers in May to Sourdough anc Cheechaco alike, for the latter eager ly snatches at anything that will help dispel the misgivings he enter lieve stories of the early Klondike days, while the grizzled oldtimer in his dingy log cabin absorbed in its contents easily imagines he's back in line once more with the reckless bunch climbing Chilcoot's slippery trail
 Passage after passage crops up re- minding him of incidents long since forgotten and the old feeling of dread about getting his outfit swamp cd creeps over him as he sees the Southerner's boat hit the rock in
 the rapids while Uncle Sandy and Viva go tearing through. The book
 is splendid, and the reader closes
 it with the one regret that he failed
 to be initiated as member of the
 Klondike Clan.
 The book, which is dedicated to
 the Arctic Brotherhood. is beauti-
 fully illustrated with half-tones of genuine scenes. and Is most at tractively bound. It is issued by the Fleming H. Revell Co. of New York.

Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 22.- Whether or not America shall enter world peace league. and, as many contend, abandon her policy of isola- tion heretofore observed. was put squarely before congress and the country by President Wilson in a personal address in the senate. All is excitement in diplomatic circles here tonight as the result of the address, all American and foreign diplomats being bewildered at the boldness of the Presidents state ments The address was delivered shortly after l o'clock this afternoon, President Wilson having sent word to the senate chambers this morning that he desired to address the upper house immediately upon the subject of foreign relations.
 The chief points made in the ad- dress were:
 That lasting peace In Europe cannot be a peace which results from victory for either of the belligerent factions of Europe.
 That any peace made must be followed by a concert of power on the part of all of the nations of the world to assure the world that war shall not again overwhelm it.
 That America cannot withhold par ticipation in such concerted action to guarantee peace and justice among the peoples and nations of the world.
 That there cannot be equality rights for all people who live their own way and for those who live under governments opposed to their worship and to their social and in dustlial development, and that last, ing peace can only be secured when government rests only on the con- sent Of the governed.
 That freedom of the seas must be accorded to the ships of all na- tions, and that moderation in arma- ments both on land and sea. must be effected.
 That the concert of power to guar. antee peace must be so strong that no nation or alliance of nations can withstand 1t.

WILSON MAKES PEACE PROPOSAL
 TO THE SENATE

, pressed regarding the Presidents speech throughout the east tonight. There is sharp division of opinion among the senators over the ad. dress. In diplomatic circles but lit tie Is being said, although it Is un- derstood that the foreign diplomats consider that it was a master stroke of neutrality, as far as it does or will interfere with the policies of the warning nations. For, although 1t Is stated in some circles that the address practically spells the dis, integration of Austria Hungary and those other nations under the flags of which peoples of various tongues and mannerisms are living, 1t Is 1 pointed out that In defense of the | Central Powers the President has uttered words which might be con strued to mean that the Entente will be forced to end the war by al lowing representatives of the neu- tral powers of the world to decide how the great conflict shall end and what shall be done to end it. l One senator expresses himself as being in favor of leaving the peace matter altogether in the Presidents hands He pointed out. however, that If President Wilson opens ne gotiations for treaties embodying his views, 1t would be very improbable that such treaties would be ratified by the senate.
 The address calls for no response from the belligerents. It is believed, however, that 1t may have the effect of opening the door for wider ex- change of peace views and nesotia- tions, the door which was almost closed by the Entente's recent re- i plies both to Germany and to the Presidents peace note.
 Practically all of the big news papers of the Atlantic coast are com menting editorially on the address.
 Those who have tendency to lean toward Germany in the matter of the war are loudly praising the President, while those who favor the Allies are either keeping distinctly aIoof from the controversy or are criticising the President for what l they consider an untimeiy utterance.
