Newport News, Va, Feb. 1. The
British passenger liner Appam whicb
bad not been heard from since Jan
Mary 15, four days out ' of Daka
French West Africa, for Plymouth,
England, and for whose safety great
apprehension had been expressed in
British shipping circles, arrived at
Hampton Roads this morning at 6:45
o'clock in charge of a price crew of
20, cottimandel by Liuetenant Bcrge,
of the German navy, which -wag plac
ed aboard the Appam when she was
captured off the Canary Islands.
There waa a total of -451 persons
aboard the Appam including the sur
viving members of the crews of sev
en other ships sunk by ' the raid
- f t, which captured' the Appam, and
20 German civilians who were being
transported from Africa to England
to be placed in detention camps. The
persons on board the Appam were
listed as follows:
Original members of Appam 's crew
- 1.55 original passengers on Appam.
116: German prisoners bound for
British detention camps, 20: su-viv.
or of ship's destroyed 138; prize
crew. 22.
ing shipping off the African coast took
the British liner and put the prize
crew aboard. This view is supported
by the fact that a submarine could
hardly spare a lieutenant and each s
Urge crew to a prise.
There are 15a of the original Eng
lish crew on the steamer and 168 pas
sengers, in addition to that there are
10 German passengers, said to have
been transferred from the" ruder
to the steamer, and 138 prisoners
of the Germans captured in other sea
raids. .
The Appam mounts only one three
inch gun. When the - raider sent
a shot across her bows she immediate
ly halted on account of the large
number of passengers she carried, ac
cording to the master.

indicating the Germans may contend

Peaceful Calm Will Not be Estab

Paris, Feb. 1. Mme de Thebes,
who on December 20, 1913, predicted
that in the following year France
would he drawn into war, today pro-
phasized that the war would continue
for the years, and that ipeaceful calm
would not he re-established for
dozen vears after that.
"A black read year upon a field of
blaring gold." is the phrase used by
the famous seeress in gumming up her
prophesy for 1016 for the New York
oriel correspondent.
Mine. Thebes, whose annual proph
esy has been delayed by her illness,
was inclined to be gloomy about the
war, although intimates, including
manv influential personages, had en
treated her not to paint the future too
blackly.
"Between us and the sun of vic
tory," she said, ,rare great clouds of
struggle and sacrifice. Even the
warmth which the sun will eventually
dispense will not end our efforts and
suffering.
