Probably VIII Lay All blame ON the
Eitel's Captain
BERLIN AWAITS THE PROTEST
Pending An Investigation, State De-
partment at Washington Has
Not Yet Made Its Repre-
sensations
eAAaAA4AAeAAAAA'

Amsterdam, March 13.-The Ger
man government regards the sink
ing of the American ship William p.
Frye by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich as
entirely unwarrantable, according
to dispatches from Berlin today.
A strong protest is expected from
Washington and this protest, when
1t is made, will be met in a most
conciliatory spirit and Germany
will assure the Washington govern
ment that Captain Thierichens act
ed solely upon his own responsible
ity, the Berlin dispatches asserted.
Washington, March 13.-As for
the questions raised by the sinking
of the American ship Frye, nothing
was done today by state department
officials beyond a further consider
alton of the facts already present
ed. Until the investigation is COM
pleted no diplomatic action will be
taken. It is now generally under
stood that unless Germany makes
voluntary reparation, a protest will
be lodged by the United States with
request for damages.
