OPPORTUNITY TO EscAPEslN
 LIFEBoATs IS NOT SUFFICIENT
According to Latest Note Sent by
 United statss to esennany.-

Washington, Oct. 1s.-Publication to- night of the text of the latest note sent by the United States to Germany In the case of the American ship William P. Frye reveals that the United States does not regard an opportunity to es-. cape in lifeboats as suficsent safety for passengers and crew of any American vessel destroyed when carrying contra band.
 In the note, which is dated Oct. z1. Secretary Lansing expresses satisfac- ton that Germany agreed to the Amer ican proposal for a joint commission of experts to fix damages for the loss of the Frye, sunk by the commerce raid in the suggestion from Berlin that 1t is not necessary to appoint an umpire in advance.
 In agreeing to submit to arbitration differences which have arisen over the interpretation of the Prussian-Anerf- can treaty of 1928. the United States places on record its understanding that no rights are waived In the interval. l Germany already has given assurances | that pending arbitration American will not be molested. but since virtual ly every commodity of importance has been made absolute contrabaud. the value of the assurances ie regarded by officials as comparatively small The American government holds that the Itreaty of 1928 does not permit the de- struction under any circumstances of American vessels carrying contra.and of any character. and in Its note in- sists that while the arbitration pro- ceedings are in progress more security than is afforded In lffeboats be giver to passengers andt crews on American
 vessels which the German commander may deem 1t necessary to destroy fol carriage of absolute contraband. Without admitting that the Decla-
 ration of London Is In force" says tn,
 note. and "on the understanding tha
 the requirement. of Article 50 of thu Declaration that before the vessel il
 destroyed all persons on board must b,
 placed In safety Is not satisfied b, merely giving them an opportunity ti escape in lfeboats, the government O
 the United States is willing, pendinl the arhitral award in this case, to ac cept the Declaration of London as tn [ rule governing the conduct of the Ger , mnn government in relation to tn treatment of American vessels carry
 ing cargoes of absolute contraband."
 In the Frye. case. the commander O
 the Prinb Esitcl Frederick took all o
 board his own vessel. When the Lee lanaw, an American ship carrying ab
 solute contraband. was destroyed. tn
 crew was taken aboard the submarin and transferred later to small beat ' when near shore. No complaint ha , been made, therefore. as to past treat f ment. but an effort Is being made [ a safeguard the American lives in tn

ROLLING IN WEALTH.
Major A. L. Mcintyre Found Marvel ous Prosperity in Coal, Steel and Iron Regions.

Major A. D. Mcintyre is just home from a business trip through Penn sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. In the coal, steel and iron producing centers he says that business Is boom ing as it has never boomed before War orders amounting to hundreds of millions have brought an undreamed of prosperity to this section of the country and Major Mcintyre says money is more plentiful there than ever before in the history of the coun- try. Monster steel mills are being erected in the Monongahela valley that work may be rushed on orders which cannot be taken care of by working all existing plants to the linn 1t of their capacity. The boom in the steel, iron and coal business means prosperity for all other lines in the territory. Major Mcintyre says, and that section of the country seems to be rolling in wealth. Major Mcintyre also found much prosperity in Ohio excepting in the glassware and pot tery producing sections of the state,
