GERMANY INSISTS
ON ITS POSITION
Claims Sinking of the Frye
Was Justified.
WILLING TO PAY FOR SHIP
The Note Suggests Two Ways OF De.
termining the Indemnity To
Be Paid To the Ship
owners.

Washington. Secretary Lansing
made public Germany's reply to the
recent American note dealing with the
case of the sinking of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye, of which
Captain Kuhne, of Baltimore, was
master, when it was sunk by the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. In the reply just received
the German government insists upon
its Interpretation of the treaty and
challenges again the contention of the
United States government that the
destruction of the Frye constituted a
violation of article Is of the Treaty
Prussia. Germany takes the position
that the commander of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich had right to sink the yes
sci and admits the liability under the
Treaty of 1893 to pay indemnity for
the loss of the vessel
The German government explains
that the German prize court, at Ham
burg, found by its judgment on July
10 that the Frye carried contraband,
that the vessel could not be taken
into court and its sinking was justi-
fed, but the prize court recognized
the validity of the Treaty of 1893, max
ing the German government liable for
the payment of indemnity for the loss
of the vessel
The prize court was unable to fix
the indemnity because the interested
parties did not submit the necessary
data and in order to fix the indemnity
the German government suggests that
each government name an expert,
these experts to fix the amount of the
indemnity, which will be promptly
paid. But if the United States gov
eminent does not agree to the pro
posed method of settlement the Ger
man government asserts its willing
ness to submit the different opinions
to the Hague Tribunal for settlement
The unofficial view here Is that
reparation by a commission of exports
probably will be satisfactory to the
United States with the express pro
vision, however, that 1t is not waiver
of treaty rights for which the Ameri-
can government contends, but applies
only to the matter of damages.
1t is practically certain that if the
United States allows the dispute to go
to The Hague for Interpretation of the
treaty provision or continues the
academic discussion of principles
through the channel of diplomacy, it
will insist that, meanwhile, Germany
refrain from violation of what the
United States contends are its rights

BROAD PLAN FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
But President Wilson is Opposed
to MiIitarism.
WANTS A DEFINITE PROGRAM
The Presidents Idea Is To Propose a
Program That VIII Have the
United Support OF Con-
gress and Be Adopted.

Cornish, n H.-With the object Of
developing broad and convincing pro-
gram of national defense which will
meet with the approval of Congress
President Wilson is planning to CO.
operate with the chairmen of the Mill
tary and Naval Affairs Committees of
the Senate and House, as well as with
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels, of
the War and Navy Departments, be-
fore he finally decides on the recon-
mendations he will make in his next
message to Congress.
The President told friends here that
while he had made no definite plans
for consulting with the chairmen of
the committees interested in the ques-
ton of national defense he would ar
range to see them before Congress
convenes in order to unite on single
program of action.
When the President sees the chair
man of the four committees he ex-
poets to have before him the reports
now being prepared by Mr.. Garrison
and Mr. Daniels. Ihe heads of the
War and Navy Departments are ex-
pected to take part in the conference,
or series of conferences, in order to
explain personally their recommends
tions.
Invites Committee Chalrmen.
The President already has written
- ~ hn
Affairs Committee inviting this digni-
tary to meet him on Mr. Wilson's re-
turn to Washington. While he did not
say whether he had written similar
letters to the chairmen of the other
committees, it was reported that he
had done so.
The President believes the time has
come for the United States to decide
on a definite program of national de-
tense. and he is anxious that as little
friction as possible develop over the
question when it Is presented to the
two houses of Congress. He will not
decide in his own mind on the kind
of program required until he has
thoroughly examiner tuS IepOi 10 Vi
Mr.. Garrison and Mr.. Daniels and has
received the views Of Congressional
leaders.
The plan of the President is to con
slider carefully program of national
defense after free consultation with
others and then to throw the entire
weight of the administration behind
the policy agreed on.
AS already indicated, the part Of his
next message devoted to national de-
tense is expected to be the most i'm
portant of the entire document. Much
thought has already been given by the
President to the subject since his ar
rival here, but he will convey no indi-
cation of his ideas until he obtains
more information. He is opposed to
a policy of "militarism," but thinks the
United States should be adequately
defended.

PEACE OFFER IS
REJECTED BY GEAR
interesting Story From the
Russian Capital.
CAR SAYS NOTHING DOING
Germany Is Now strainino Every
Nerve To Eliminate Russia From
the Number OF Her An
taconists.

ps,roerad - The Bourse Gazette
learns that last week Emperor Will
liam through the King of Denmark,
offered the Russians terms Oh peace.
The reply of the Gar to the Danish
monarch's letter was the categorlcai
declaration that at the present time
there could be no question of peace
negotiations.
Having failed to carry out .her
original program of crushing France IN
the first few months of the war, Ger
many. according to talk here, has now
altered her general plan and is strain
ing every nerve to eliminate Russia
from the number of her antagonists
in order to be able to concentrate all
her energies against the Allies IN the
west. when they at last are in posi-
ton to cause her serious ineonveni-
ence,
Germany had hoped by the momen-
tum of her assault on both tanks OF
the Polish salient TO cut off and utter
" destroy the Russian armies occupy
ing il and thus reduce Russia to inn
potence.
No doubt her calculations were
largely based on the idea that the Rus
SLAMS would cling desperately to the
Warsaw and Vistula fortresses and
thus allow themselves to be caught in
a trap.
Last week il must have become
clear to the Germans that their plot
was frustrated. Thanks to the timely
decision of the Russian chief in COM
-mand. Warsaw was evacuated prompt
ly and with thoroughness. The Ger
mans will find that the Polish capital
is an embarrassing luxury.
1t is quite natural that, under such
circumstances, the Kaiser should dan
gle temptations before the eyes OF
Russia. No doubt the terms he of
fered seemed TO himself generous and
magnanimous. However, the emphatic
rejection of his offer is a clinching
proof of the steadfastness and con-
stancy of Russia.
Further confirmation of the iron de-
termination of this empire TO fight to
finish is found in a remarkable arti-
Gle contributed to the Boerse Gazette
by General Mikhnevitch. head of the
general staff, who places it beyond all
doubt that Russia deliberately adopted
the policy of 1912 of retreating every
where, at ease and in good order, leav-
ing behind a desert stripped of every
thing that could be of advantage to
the foe. He says:
IF they want, the Germans can
come on further and further until such
times as Russia shall have supplied
her needs They will have to fight
for every step of gain, but the Cars
armies will not allow themselves to be
pinned down to decisive battle until
their equipment is complete.
Meanwhile the Germans will leave
the railways further and further be-
hind them and will be compelled to
carry every ounce of food they need
across a devastated tract where the
roads, at the best times, are few and
worse than anywhere else in Europe.
THE only question about which
there can be any doubt is whether the
Russians have the hardness of temper
to make the necessary sacrifices.
"All doubts on this score are now
set at rest Time is on Russia's side"
