of the bark William p. Frye, sunk by
the Kaiser's raider Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, was made public by the State
Department today
The note was cabled to Ambassador
Gerard, Berlin, April %, and is sup
posed to have been delivered to the
German foreign office May /.
The Frye's destruction was referred
to as "A violation of treaty obligations
imposed upon the imperial German
government under existing treaty stip-
ulations between the United States and
Prussia"
The United States, it was continued
will not consider the suggestion that
the legality of the ships capture and
destruction, the claimants standing or
the amount of indemnity to be paid,
be submitted TO prize court.
No question of payment for cargo
will be considered went on the COM
munication, Germany being held only
for payment for the ship. its freight
charges and loss to the owners, as set
forth in the final damage claim.
The wording of this paragraph, it,
was pointed out, was such as to cen

The transfer of the whole matter to
the German embassy in Washington

In conclusion, it was stated that the
United States government does not
consider the Declaration of London
in force. so it was deemed unneces-
sary to discuss it.
