French Have Plan to
Use Barking Dogs to
Help Annihilate Germans
BY .fttociatci Prcss

Paris. June 1O.-Frank suggestions
in great variety for swelling casu-
atty lists or the German armies have
been sent by patriotic Frenchmen 10
the committee of scientists which is
examining military inventions in the
hope of finding among the many sub
mitted few cev:ces which might
prove of real value.
One of the most novel proposals. ac-
cording to Professor Appel, who heads
the committee. was made by a man
who believed the barking of dogs
might be used to advantage. He ad-
vised tying revolvers TO the heads OF
dogs with triggers attached by wires
to the animals jaw so the weapon
would be discharged automatically
when the dogs barked.
Another idea submitted was TO train
falcons to carry into the air an ap-
paratus which would receive missiles
dropped from Zeppelins.
Prof. Appel said his committee had
been able to do really useful work. es-
pecially for the aviation corps. The
scientists are flooded with inventions
All of them are examined rather than
risk losing something which might be
of value

AMERICAN NOTE IS IN
AMBASSADOR HANDS
Official Washington Believes Mes
sage Has Reached Its
Destination
TO BE PUBLISHED FRIDAY
Bryan Permitted to Read Re
joinder Before 1t Was
Dispatched
BY associated Press

Washington, June 10.-The Amer
lean note to Germany concerning the
sinking of the Lusitania which precipi-
tated the crisis in President Wilson s
cabinet and as climax to which Will
liam j. Bryan resigned as Secretary of
State, was believed here to have reach
ed Ambassador Gerard in Berlin early
to-day. 1t was expected that the en-
bassador would present the communi-
cation imm ediately to the German
Foreign Office. 1t will be given out to-
night for pu ublication tomorrow morn
ing. In the meantime President Will
son has asked that detailed forecasts of
the note be not published.
1t is understood here that the Ger
man government will not make ans
wer to the American note until after
Meyer Gerhard. the special envoy
chosen by Count Won Bernstorff. the
German ambassador, to outline the
American point of view to the govern
ment at Berlin, arrives and explains
the situation. This. it is estimated,
will take at least a week or ten days.
The latest note, though couched in
friendly tones. reiterates firmly the de-
mand for reparation for the loss of
American lives in the sinking of the
Lusitania and sets forth clearly the
earnest desire of the American govern
ment that Germany signify her early
adherence to the principles of inter-
national law-that neutrals be permit
ted to travel on unarmed ships without
being subject to the dangers of sub
marine warfare.
Bryan Reads Note
1t became known to-day thai just
before the note was forwarded to Ber-
lin it was shown to former Secretary
Bryan by Acting Secretary Lansing
at the personal direction of President
Wilson. Some slight changes had been
made in the note and the President
wanted Mr.. Bryan to see it in its final
| form.
Pending the publication of the note
tomorrow off1'ials would not discuss
! its details but it was declared it was
no more in the nature OF an ultima.
tum than was the last note. The note
makes it very plain, however, that the
United States expects that Germany
shall cease attacks on American ship.

ON SINKING Of FRYE

Violation
WANTS CASE FOR PRIZE COURT
Suggests That American Interested
Parties Enter Claims in Ac-

WANTS CASE FOR PRIZE COURT
BY .;ssoeidsei Press

Washington, June 10.-Germany's
latest note to the United States on the
sinking of the American sailing ship
William P. Frye by the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, received here to-day. makes
the far-reaching claim of a right to
destroy any American vessel carrying
Contrahand, while agreeing TO pay
damages for the act.
Two points made by the United
States are rejected by Germany. One
was the statement of the American n
Government in its note of April 2S
that prize court proceedings mean un-
necessary delay, all matters concerned
being susceptible for prompt settle
ment through diplomatic channels and
the other was that the destruction of
the Frye was ''unquestionably a viola
tion of the obligations imposed upon
the Imperial Government under exist
ing treaty stipulations between the
United States and Prussia"
Under the Prussian-American treaty
OF 1928, the binding force of which was
admitted by Germany in its note OF
April 3, the right of citizens of either
country to ship arms and ammunition
as we'll as all other kinds of contra
band in their own vessels was granted
in time of war. but each party had
the right to detain such contraband
and payment made for it If confiscated.
The note from Germany to-day en-
larses upon the treaty OF 1928 by
claiming that while the treaty did not
specifically permit the destruction of
ship, nevertheless if ITS contraband
could not be stopped in any other way.
it could in the extreme case be ef-
fected by the destruction of the con-
traband and of the ship carrying it,
The effect of Germanys answer to-
day, If its assertions are accepted by
the United States, would be to throw
into the prize courts for decision all
cases of whether destruction of an
American vessel constituted an ex-
treme case of military necessity.
