According Ho the siEory. the Moewfc
captured the AppaiS, hound for Dakar,
British West Africa, for Liverpool, af-
ter a brief show of reslsUnce on Janu-
ary 16, slfty miles nortB of the Ma-
deira islands. On board the Moewe
then were the crew# of five vessels pre-
viously captured, all of whom were
traneferred to the Appam.
Carried a Concealed Cattery»
From all reports the raider la a con-
verted German' merchantman with is
false canvas forecastle concealing* a
battery of guns of fairly large caliber.
On January 17 she engaged In battle
an armed Australian trader, the Clan
McTavish, which she sank after an
ggpiting combat with a loss of fifteen
men killed on the Clan McTavish.
Later, under orders from the com-
mander of the raider, Lieut. Berg
beaded his price for an American port
and parted company with the Moewe.
Nothing has been seen or heard of the
raider since and the Appam steamed
agrees the ocean on an uneventful voy-
age
On board the Appam all told are 462
persons—the prise erew of 23; twenty
German civilians who were on their
way to England for Interment; 138
seamen captured with the British
ships; 116 passengers on the Appam
and the Appam’s crew of 165.
Lieutenant Berg claims the Appam
Is a prise of war, but government offi-
cials have not yet accepted this view.
She had one mounted rifle aboard when
captured, but this wan removed by the
Moewe, and there were no guns aboard
when Bhe reached port except small
arms carried by the prise crew.
Captures Many Vessels.
On January 16 the Moewe captured
and sank the British steamer Farrlng-
ford, carrying 600 tons of copper ore.
Later in the same day she captured
the British steamer Corbrldge with
a cargo ot 6,000 tons of coal.
The Moewe did not sink the vessel,
bat sent & crew aboard and held her
as a collier.
For three days the Moewe was in-
active. and then the British admiralty
transportTlronionby hove into sight on
January 18. Bhe offered no resistance,
and was captured and sunk. Before
(bat day was over the raider had met
and destroyed the British steamer Au-
thor, carrying 8,000 tons of general
cargo, and the admiralty transport
Trader, with 6,000 tons of sugar.
No ship of the enemy was sighted
on the 14th, but on the 15th the British
ship Arldiane crossed the raider's path
and was sent to the bottom with her
cargo of 6.000 tons of wheat.
Next day, January 16th, there ap-
peared the biggeBt prise of all, the
liner Appam, carrying 8.000 tons of
general merchandise, including a large
quantity of cocoa. Whether the Ap-
pam offered any resistance has not
}sen definitely established, it Is said
(hat one or two shots were fired, but
there was no real fight.
The Moewe approached the liner
flying the British ensign and exchanged
salutes with her. When she was close
enough to cross the Appam’s how she
ran up the German flag and lowered
the false forecastle, disclosing her
armament. The detailed story of the
capture is still untold, as no one has
come ashore except Lieutenant Berg,
and no one has been permitted to go
aboard except those officials ..hose
duties require them to do so.

of the whole when on motion of Repre-
sentative Ben F. Harrison of Hughes

new positions was stricken fro* the

affects bankers, brokers, tobacco deal

managers. About $300,000 ot war taxes
have been afi*eady paid Into the office
of the collector of internal revenue,

The State Auditor requests an appro-
priation of $50.00 for furniture and equip-
ment. and appropriating the additional
sum of $2,000.00 for his contingent fund.
And I, accordingly, recommend for your
consideration the advisability of making
the appropriation.
State Lands and Drainage Dlatrlcte—
Payment of Beneflta.
In the matter of the relation of school
lands and drainage districts, the advis-
ability of passing an act substantially as
follows or covering the subject matter
la submitted for your consideration:
' "That where any of the school or
other public lands belonging to the State
of Oklahoma, the title to which remains
in the state, and for which ceriflcatea of
sale have not been Issued, and which
have been assessed and levies made for
special beneflta, and which lands are
located in any authorized drainage dis-
trict, the State Treasurer shall pay such
assessments and levies out of any monies
in the State Treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated; Provided that such payment
shall only be made on vouchers from the
county commissioners of the county In
which said lands are altuated, which
vouchers shall have been certified as cor-
rect and approved by the Commission-
ers of the Land Office.'
It does not appear to me that where
the state retains such lands and does
not sell them that it Ib advisable to per-
mit these penalties to run, and I am In-
clined to believe that such an act would
constitute an automatic and continuing
appropriation in accordance with the au-
thorities cited by me in the message of
the 17th Instant.
Bond Contracts.
The form of bond sale, which la fre-
quently being entered Into by township
and county boards, serves aa an Impedi-
ment to competition in the sale of the
bonds lksued by municipalities and the
aub-divlslons of the state and frequently
keep them from bringing a premium.

Now, McDermott’s education In Gor-

Animal and Plant Life.
If wbat scientists tell us Is true,
there is not much difference, after all,
between vegetable and animal life.
Plants eat, drink, breathe, sleep and
work, as everyone knows; if we are
to accept that statement that they
think also, it is pretty hard to tell
where the vegetable kingdom ends
and the animal kingdom begins.

"All my life I have been a slave to
coffee. I kept gradually losing my
health, but I used to any ‘nonsense, it
don’t hurt me.’
"Slowly I was forced to admit tho
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered.
“My heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Then my physician told me that
I must stop drinking coffee or I could
never expect to be well again.
”1 thought of Postum but could
hardly bring myself to give up the
coffee.
"Finally I concluded that I owed It
to myself to give Postum a trial. I got
u package and carefully followed the
directions, and what a delicious, nour-
ishing, rich drink it wasl Do you
know, 1 found It very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum.
“Almost immediately after I mad*
the change I firanft myaelt better, and
aa the days want by I kept cn improv-
ing. My nerves grew steady, I slept
well and felt strong and well-balanced.
Now the old nervousness is gone and
I am well once more."
It pays to give up the drink that
acts on soma like a poison, for health,
is the greatest fortune one can have.
