PROTEST IS FILED 8?
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Washington, Feb. 7—President
Wilson holds that the Str. Appa.ni
is a nrize belonging to Germany,
upholding the view taken by
Secretary Lansing of th§ state de
partment.
Washington, Feb. 7—Neither tlu
German imperial government nor
the British government is satisfied
wlux the interpretation of the
United States concerning tue dis
position of the British steamship
Appan which was brought into -New
port .News under a German prize
crew.
Yesterday the British ambassa
dor formally requester, in tLe name
ot hia government that the Appam
b« returned to Ireat Briton uuuor
The Hague convention rales of in
ternational warfare.
The British amo^-aauor served
notice that the Unit-d Si-.tes vouH
be violating international law if it
permitted the German commaudev to
increase his crew or the armament
of the vessel.
The Germans have only 22 nien
aboard, insufficient to operate the
ship, let alone defend it, once in
the open seas.
The British contention is that
the old American-rrussiaa treaty
of ISIS, under which the German^
claim the right to enter and de
part from United States ports free
ly, is obsolete and is superceded
by >he international rules laid
dottii at The Hague convention.
I*i pite the British protest, how
ever, secretary Lansing considers
that the Prussian treaty applies to
the L...-.0 oi the Appatu; that it has
never teen repudiated by either
couu'ry and is still in force.
The inly point xemaiuing to be
settle u is the length of time in
uu. U the Appam will bo allowed
to remain iu port.
Vuo claims of the Germans that
the Dritish military prisoners on
board the Appam should be held,
hat -j had no weight with the do
P«I1 till', lit.

their chances in a hide-and-seek
garnt with the allied war vessels.

SCDT1Y ALLE;
Seattle, Feb. 4—The inability of |
Scotty Allen to reach Nome, Alaska,
in time to participate in the fa
mous Nome-to-Candle-to-Nomo dos
raq^j will rob that far northern j
sports classic of one of the most j
picturesque characters of the annu
al event. Allen has just returned I
from Franco whero he delivered |
more than 400 sleigh dogs to the I
French army for use in winter
warfare. In order to reach Nome
in, time for the races ^scheduled
lor April it would be necessary for
Allen jo make a dog team trip of
more thau fifteen hundred miles
in zero temperature with the pos
sibility of being delayed indefinite
ly by heavy snow storms which
sometimes rage for days at a
stretch.
AUtn has always been a factor
in the annual All-Alaska Sweep
stakes, tho biggest dog race of the
year having repeatedly won or fin
shed among the first three. When
his team won the race In 1909
the prize money and wages netted
him more than $10,000. A year
later John Johnson, driving a team
of Siberian wolf dogs, set a new
record for the 412-mile course of
71 hours, 14 minutes and 20 sec
onds, and these figures still stand.
Although Allen won the 1912
event ho was unable to lower the
time due to the blinding snow
! storm which prevailed during the
raco.
j The latter's disappointment at
! being unable to try for the sweep
stakes tnd a new record this year
