Only Two German Sea
Raiders Still at LARGE

raiding career her commander had a
crew of $50 men under him. Probably
the complement has been reduced. but
the British certainly rescued more
than 300 Germans, whom only fifteen
were wounded. The one-sided nature
of the encounter is evidenced BY the
fact that not n single man on the Brit
ish ships was even wounded. and that
none of the fleet was damaged.
The destruction of the Dresden Is re-
garded with especial satisfa ction by
the shipping interests which somewhat
harassed at home, have expressed much
indigna ton that they should be Obliged
TO suffer losses abroad, despite the fact
that many powerful ships were de-
tailed to run down the few German war
vessels remaining at large. Marine
shipping rates to South American ports
are expected to benefit by the event.
The Dresden had been cruising alone
since Won Specs fleet was routed in the
Falkland Islands battle on December s.
when the British squadron under Vice
Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee sank the
Gniesenau the Scharnhorst, the Leipzig
and the Nuremberg Previous To that she
had taken part in the fight off Coronel,
Chile. on November /, when Admiral Sir
Christopher Cradock went down on the
Good Hope and the Monmouth was also
sunk by Won Specs force.

England, Confident and
Expectant, Is Awaiting
Results of "BlOCkade"

LONDON. March 16.-Great Britain is
''all set today for the first attempt to
pierce her blockade of Germany
Before many hours. it is certain, a
neutral vessel will feel the weight of
England's starvation decree. Con-
Voyed into port by British warships her
case will be the first test of the
strength of the neutral protests
The greatest activity Is displayed
about the admiralty. While the text of
the order-in-cOuncil issued yesterday
studiously avoided use of the word
blockade. the fact that Germany aCtu-
ally is to be cut off from the world If
the British program Is to succeed, is
admitted. Admiralty officials unCon-
seriously used the woru Diouhdue IN as
cussng the decree, and asserted that
enough British and French warships
will be on duty off the German coast to
make the blockade effective.
Public sentiment in England as voiced
by the British press today, unanimously
backed up the government embargo.
The same support came from the Paris
newspapers. Dispatches from Paris,
however. reported that one edition OF
the Temps was suppressed for using
the word BLOCKADE" in describing the
British decree.
All the morning papers were positive
that neutrals would make strong repre-
sentatiOns to the British government
They were equally positive that the
government would not back down from
Its position They took pains to point
out that except in certain instance!
neutral cargOeS would not be COntis.
Gated, but that their owners would re
CeiVe tn" proceeds of their SAL.

DIPLOMATIC TANGLE
OVER FRYE'S CARGO

The state Department is st1l In pur-
suit of Information with respect to the
case OF the American vessel, William
p Frye. which was sunk by the Ger
man sea raider, Prinz Eitel Friedrich
1T was stated at the white House
that while no formal note on the sub.
ject of the Frye had been sent to Ger
many. there had been oral exchanges
between the state Department and Am
hassador Won Bernstorff, while fuller
Information Is sought on certain mat
ters before formal action is taken.
This Information, II is surmised, may
relate to the dtails as to the destina-
ton OF the cargo of grain on the Frye.
The technical question whether the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich belongs to the
German navy has been settled by a
formal note from the German ambassa-
dor announcing that the vessel belongs
10 the imperial navy. This removes the
action OF the vessel from the possible
category of piracy.
Tn" state Department Is without in
formation as to the exact facts on the
alleged detention on the Prinz Eitel
friedrich of one of the Frye's crew
Charles Frank. German subject
against his will
Treasury and Navy officials continue
to believe the German raider will in
tern and not rush out of Hampton
Roads to her grave in the Atlantic.
