APPELMANN IETERNED?
Rumor That Former German Professor
is in Detention Camp.

BURLINGTON, Nov. 27.-''I can t
say anything about it, said United
States District Attorney Vernon A.
Billiard to q reporter when queried
over the telephone as to the truth of
a rum0r that Anton II. Appelmann,
late professor of the German language
at the University of Vermont, had been
interned III an American detention
camp for the duration Of the war
eff he has not already sailed, he
probably has been interned,' were the
words received by the telephone re-
porter from Deputy United States
Marshal Thomas Reeves, when the same
question was put to him.
| No person in authority in New York
| city could be reached and, therefore,
| the rumor which came from the big
city, can neither be confirmed nor de-
MED.
One fact that may shed ray of
light or the origin of the rumor is that
q Norwegian steamship, Europe bound
with 81 Germans on board, has been
detained at some harbor in the vicin-
itv of New York for an unstated rea
son. Whether the holding of this boat
has any connection with the rumor OF
Appelmann S detention is problemati
cal.
Another rumor which has been going
the rounds is that two United State,
secret service men were the constan
but unknown or unannounced compan
ions of the professor when he left thi
city for New York prior to embarka
ton for his native land, after havin,
been assured safe conduct by tn
United States government and allies
, 1t is also rumored that the vulnerable,
and close companions accompanied III
professor to New York city.

TO lament our neglect of American
shipping. Says the Transcript: We
are fighting with one arm that is 80

our munitions and material and the
withered left arm of our neglected ship
ping; we are a ouc.armed man going
into battle. It is a striking smile

not essential to the prosecution of
the war. There is no reason why young
men who nave good throwing arms are
speedy on their feet and have eyes
for hitting a curved ball, should have
any exceptional favors. The men who
win large sums in public exhibitions
because they are physically tit are not
entitled to special privileges. In fact,
if they are sincere patriots. they will
prove that they are not slackers by
coming into the service before they are
topped on the SHOULDER and compelled

already stepped forward in great mum
bers as compared with the men who
use sports for making a living.
