eermany's Attitude on OOntraband.


The language OF the German note on tine
Frye case indicates that Germany is at one with
Great Britain ana France in the Interpretation
to be placed on the Declaration OF London, so far
as It affects contraband Of war. Captain Won
Thierichson,s action in sinking the Frye and its
cargo of wheat is Justified ON the grounds that
the destination of the vessel was fortified port
In an enemy country. ana that the consignment
ito order did not indicate that the cargo was
not intended for enemy use. On this theory the
seizure was legal, and It was laid on the owners
Of vessel and cargo to prove its innocence. Tx
pediency warranted the captain OF the Eitel in
destroying the Frye and its cargo.
However under treaties between the United
states and Prussia. IL il agreed that "contraband
belonging to the subject or citizens OF either
party cannot be confisceted by the other In any
case, but only detained or used in consideration
OF payment Of the full value OF the same" This
will send the case OF the Frye, to a German prize
court wherein viii be determined the value Of
the ship and cargo. It's owners and the damages
70 be paid. and the case viii be settled without
In any way involving the general situation.
The general tenor Of the note IL such as gives
Germany g slight lead over Great Britain in the
little game OF diplomatic finesse being played,
while the oceAn-wide blockade, is not relaxed by
either belligerent Another chapter Of this
serial win be due soon.
