It dissents from the position taken by the Kreus Zeitung and Prof. Von Btengel that Germany has no interest n negotiations regarding the freedom of the seas, since England, with America's assistance, is only using the megotiations to wrest from Ger- niany’s hands its submarine weapons.

CLAIM LIKELY TO BE ALLOWED WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Indica- tions that the British passenger liner Appam, brought'into Hampton Roads by a German prize crew, will be held by the United States to be a German prize of war and not an auxiliary cruiser, were given tonight in high official quarters. The neutrality board, which ad- visgs the State department on such questions, announced today that the ship was & prize, but the announce- ment was recalled later, presumably because the State department itself has not acted. The real point to be decided Is whether the Appam shall remain in possession of the prize crew under the terms of the -American treaty or shall be re turned to its British owners upder The Hague convention. Indications were given that the State department will hold that the prise belongs to Germany. Count von Btrnstorff, the German am- bassador, in m formal mote to Becrotary Lansing, gave notice that the Appam came into Hampton Roads under the treaty which guaranteea it to its captors. Bir Cecll Spring-Rice, the British ambas- sador, asked that the ship be réturned to its British owners as a prize recovered tirider ‘The Hague conventlon. " . i he Hague conventlon, under Article 21, provides for ‘the Internment of the crew and the surrender of the ship. But state department officials are doubtful whether it can be applied to the case of the Ap- pam, first. becauss the Prussian-Amer- idan treaty s belleved to be binding, and second, because Great Britain signed but neyer ratitied this particular Hague con- wvention, - Until the status of the ship is decided, it will remain in the custody of Nerfolk sea, as the German government chooses. It was regarded as significant ti heither the British nor the German au- Ihoritles contended that the Appam Was : naval auxillary, Thus the.
