The secretary disclosed further that the sole question to be decid ed by the negotiations was how long the Appam should remain in Ameri can waters. The treaty grants the right of ships to use the ports of each country freely. If the Appam were forced to de- i part, she doubtless would become the I FOR RETUR OF SHIP (By Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 4. The Brit ish ambassador today presented a formal demand on behalf of his government for the return of the Appam, taken into Norfolk by a German prize crew. A new diplomatic controversy with Great Britain is foreshadow ed, as the United States had prac tically accepted the German con tention that the Appam was a prize of war under the Prussian American treatv.

Officials are said to. realize - that their construction of the Prussian American treaty in this case un doubtedly will come up as a preced ent at some other time during the war and even might have a bearing on the case of the American sailing ship William P. Frve, sunk a year ago by the German commerce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrick. The Frye case is on the event of settlement, practically on the terms for which the United States contends.

Shipp received a td'rephone message thrs morning from Maiden stating that a case of smallpox had appeared ther. Also there is an epidemic of whoop ing cough at Maiden. Dr. Shipp would be glad if the people would bear in mind that this disease, com monly supposed to be a minor ill, is really the most dangefftous disease known to childhood, partly, no doubt from the carelessness of those una ware of that fact. The smallpox case at Maidn made its appearance at Providence Cotton Mill. The February teachers' meeting will be held on Saturday. All teach ers are urged to be present if pos sible, says Superintendent Long, as important matters will be discussed. Mr. B. B.

The Fourth National Bank of Fayetteville, which failed to open for business today, never recovered from the heavy loss es several years ago, according to a statement by Dr. Lilly, president of the institution. It was declared that since the bank was unable to realize on its securities promptly, the direc tors felt it unfair to their depositors to continue in operation. Directors said every dollar probably would be paid. There was no undue excitement here with the announcement that the bank failed to open for business this morning and the depositors viewed the occurence calmly. They believ ed they would receive their deposits. MR. WALSER ILL Durham, Feb. 4. J. G. Walser, for many years postmaster in Lex ington, and brother of Zeb. V. Wal ser, chairman of the Progressive state committee, was this mornin carried to a local hospital seriously ill with paralysis. SPECK L BY SERMONS STANFORD (By Associated Press.) Berlin, Feb. 4. Information reaching the Assbciated Press today indicates that under no circumstances will Germany ad mit that the sinking of the Lusi tania was an illegal act. The new instructions, forward ed to Ambassador Bernstorff, ac cording to this information, con tain one phrase on the formula tion of the proposed note of re gret to the United States 'on the sinking of this ship. The suggested sentence is short, con sisting of only eight words, and does not contain the word "il legal." It represents the extreme limit of Germany's concessions in this controversy. The view is entertained here that one of the most serious crises of the war has arisen in connection with the Lusitania case, and that it is impossible to forsee the outcome from any indications here. The re sult of the negotiations appears to hinge solely on the single word "il legal." In the way of an agreement between the United States and Ger many stands these seven letters, which President Wilson insists must be included in order to satisfy the United States. The Associated Press is informed positively and authoritatively that Germany cannot and will not desig nate as illegal the sinking of a liner by any submarine. Virtually no other difficulty in the settlement of the controversy re mains and the new instructions sent to Ambassador Bernstorff Tuesday yield to the American view in all j other respests. j Although the suggested sentence, according to a reliable version, con sists of only eight words, and does not contain the word VillegaJ,," it goes as far as the Berlin foreign of fice believes possible without humil iating the nation. WASHINGTON HEARS IT. (By the Associated Press) Washington, Feb. 4. In the ab sence of official information Secretary Lansing today refused to comment on the Berlin dispatches regarding the Lusitania affair. It appeared at the state depart ment, however, that if officials regard ed the situation as seriously as re flected in Berlin dispatches, it was not indicated in the attitude of state department officials. WILSON APPRISED President Wilson returned from his western trip shortly after 1 o'clock--.. He read the dispatches onis - train from Baltimore to Washington.'
