F WASHINGTON Feb. 2—Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Am- Bassador, to~lay formally asked Secretary Lansing for the release of the Appam and its return to the British owners, under Article 21 of the Hague Convention, which the British authorities claim has superceded the Prussian-American treaty. The Secretary took the Ambassador's argu- ent under consideration. If the State Department decides the Appam is not a German auxiliar @nd interned, high. officials declared this Government will answer Eng- fand’s demands with an order placing the Appam in prize court. { Rear Admiral Beatty, commanding the Norfolk Navy Yard, has re- ed that Lieut. Berg claims the ship as a prize of war. The German bassy has not yet determined whether it will claim the Appam is an fuxiliary cruiser or a prize. State Department officials indicated to-day that if the Appam finally ts JACK DILLON MATCHED held to be a prize, the Prussian- American treaty of 1828 is more likely fo govern the case than is Tne raeue!
