Wilson Administration Claims Kaisers Submarines Have No Right to Sink American Ships With Con-

port nor further detained, but shall be allowed to proceed on her voyage.
 Tn this case the admitted facts show that pursuant to orders from the commander of the German cruiser, the master of the Frye undertook to throw overheard the cargo of that ves- sel, but that before the work of de- livering the cargo was finished the vessel, with the cargo, was sunk by order of the German commander.
 For these reasons, even if it be assumed, as your excel1ency has done, that the cargo was ccntraband, your contention that the destruction of the vessel was Justified by the provisions Of Article 3 does not seem to be we'll founded.
 .'The government of the United States has not thought it necessary in the discussion of this case to go into the question of the contraband or non- contraband character of the cargo. The imperial German government has admitted that this question makes no difference so far as it's liability for damages is concerned. and the result is the same so far as it's liability for damages is concerned, and the re- suit is the same so far as the justi-
 
 is concerned. As shown above if we assume that the cargo was contraband, the master of the Frye should have teen allowed to deliver it out and the vessel could have been allowed to proceed on her voyage.
 No Law for Destruction.
 .'On the other hand, if we assume that the cargo was non-contraband. the destruction either of the cargo or the vessel could not be Justified in the circumstances of this case under any accepted rule of international law.
 Attention is also called to the pro- visions of Article IT of the Treaty of 1785 between the United States and Prussia, which, like Article XIII of the Treaty of 1788, was continued in. force by Aticle XII of the Treaty of 1928. So far as the provisions of Article XII of the Treaty of 17S5 ap- ply to the question under considera- ton, they are as follows @
 s' ' If one of the contracting parties should be engaged in war with any other power, the free intercourse and commerce of the subjects or citizens of the party remaining neutral with tho belligerent. powers shall not be inter rupted. On the contrary. in that case, as in full peace, the vessels of the neutral party may navigate freely to and from the ports and on the coasts of the belligerent parties. free vessels making free goods, insomuch that all .hings shall be adjudged free which shall be on board any vessel belong ng to the neutral party, although such J hings belong to an enemy of the ,ther. ss
 Tt seems clear to the government If the United States, therefore, that whether the cargo of the Frye is re-

REFUSES TO PLEAD.
Werner Horns Case Goes Over to
 Allow Appeal.

Boston, June 29.--werner Horn. who, claiming to be an officer of the German army, tired to blow up the international bridge at vanceboro, Me, last February, yesterday refused to plead to three federal indictments charging illegal transportation of dy- namite from New York to Maine. Pleas of not guilty were entered by direction of the court. District Att torney Anderson asked for an imme- diate trial, but ex-Congressman Jo- seph F. O'Connell, counsel for the prisoner, objected on the ground that he wished to enter an appeal from a decision of the court rendered several weeks ago, dismissing Horns habeas corpus petition *
 After Horn had been brought from jail and had told the court personally that he preferred to remain in con fnement all summer rather than go to trial without an opportunity to have the circuit court of appeals pass on the habeas corpus ruling, the case was continued until September.

The decision of the prize court. even on the Question of the amount of in- demnity to be paid, would not be binding or conclusive on the govern ment of the United States.
 ''The government of the United States also dissents from the view ex- pressed in your note that there would be no foundation for claim of the American government unless the prize snourts should not grant indem- nifty in accordance with the treaty The claim presented by the American government is for an indemnity for a violation of a treaty, in distinction from an indemnity in accordance with the treaty, and therefore is a matter of adjustment by direct diplo- matic discussion between the two governments, and is in no way de- pendent upon the action of a German prize court.
 For the reasons above stated the government of the United States can not recognize the propriety of submit ting the claim presented by it on be- half of the owners and captain of the Frye to the German prize court for settlement. .,.s. HlF 1NOC SOuCSTuCu Wlol ocAbOh StSSSSs
 "The government of the United States is not concerned with any pro- ceedings which the imperial German government may wish to take on 'oth- CT claims of neutral and enemy inter- ested parties which have not been presented by the government of the United States, but which you state in your note of June make prize court proceedings in this case indispensa- ble, and it does not perceive the nec- essity for postponing the settlement of the present claim pending the con sideration of those other claims by the prize court.
 "The government of the United States therefore suggests that the inn periaI German government reconsider the subject in the light of these con- alterations, and, because of the. ob- jections against resorting to the prize court, the government of the United States renews it's former suggestion that an effort be made to settle this claim by direct diplomatic negotia- tions,p

BELGIAN WHEAT AND
 RYE FOR PEOPLE
Crops in Zone Occupied by Ger mans to beSaEed for Civilians

London, June 29.-Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the American commission for relief in Belgium has concluded an agreement with General von Bissing, military governor of Bel gium, providing that the wheat and rye crops in the zone occupied by the Germans shall be reserved for the civilian population. MT. Hoover, who returped today from Brussels, said .--
 The commission is certain every, well-wisher of the Belgians will bc pleased to know that General von
 Bissing has confirmed an agreement that the wheat and rye crop in the occupation-zone in Belgium will be left for civilians. The occupation
 zone covers all of Belgium except
 West Flanders and part of East Flanders, which areas are under con- trol of the active army and not with in General von Bissing. Jurisdiction. The undertaking therefore, does not extend to the latter named territory.
 Good Harvest Predicted.
 Thanks to abundant seed provided by the commission and the industry of the Belgian peasants, the harvest promises to be very good. Normally Belgian production of grain furnishes sufficient breadstuffs for between two and three months, but with the much more economical consumption now rigidly enforced by the commission the harvest yield should cover con- siderably longed period this year. While the details of the arrangement are not all settled it is part of the undertaking that one-twelfth of the harvest yield shall be issued to the people each month, the commission undertaking to import the necessary balance to maintain the present ra- ton. The precise method of acquiring the harvest Is still under considers ton.
 No arrangements have been made in connection with other products. 1 The Belgians nominally produce i enough potatoes to carry them | through the year. The commission by | imports in the last two months has | to keep prices under | cents pound. New potatoes are now | available. Belgium ordinarily produces | a large amount of sugar beets and f roots for fodder. Those were this | year largely displaced by increased potato planting, so that there is every hope of a sufficient production of potatoes. Much of the same potato situation exists in Germany where fuu supplies appear likely. Therefore there will be little necessity for the ! German army to draw from the Bel gian potato crop. 9
 Fodder Crops Not Arranged, T
 No arrangements have been male with regard to fodder crops, as Gbc present military and economic sit1h- ton in Belgiunl seems certain to NcSh- .inue for many months.
 "The commission is now pre-ocSp- pied with the solution of the probl8n of financing imports and the still greater problem of supporting the destitute. We hope to find some day. light within the next sixty days.

traband the destruction of the vessel Was as stated in my previous com munication on this subject, a violation of the obligations imposed upon the imperial German government under existing treaty stipultions, between the United States and Prussia -- No Prize Court Jurisdiction.
 For these reasons the government of the United States musts disagree with the contention which it under stands is now made by the imperial German government, that.an American vessel carrying contraband may be de- |stroyed without liability or accountabil- ity beyond the payment of such com pensation for damages as may be fixed by German prize court. The issue thus presented arises on disputed in- depreciation of treaty provisions the settlement of which requires direct diplomatic discussion between the two governments, and cannot properly be based upon the decision of. the Ger- man prize court, which is in nd way conclusive or binding upon the gov ernment of the United States.
 Moreover, even if no disputed ques- tions of treaty interpretation were in- volved, the admission by the imperial German government of it's liability for damages for sinking the vessel would seem to make it unnecessary, so far as this claim is concerned, to ask the prize court to decide whether the de- struction of the ship and cargo was legal, and whether and under what conditions the property sunk was liable to confiscation,' which, you state in your note dated June 2, are questions which should be decided by the prize court. In so far as these questions re. late to the cargo, they are outside of the present discussion, because, as pointed out in my previous note to you on the subject, dated April 30, the claim under discussion does not include damages for the destruction of the cargo @
 Preparation Real Question.
 The real question between the two governments is what reparation4 must be made for a breach of treaty obliga- tions, and that is not a question which falls within the Jurisdiction 5of prize court.
 Tn my note on the subject the gov- ernment of the United States request ed that full reparation be made by the imperial German government for the destruction of the William F. Fryee.' Preparation necessarily in cludes an indemnity for the actual pecuniary loss sustained, ana the gov ernment of the United States takes this opportunity to assure the imper- ial German government that such an indemnity, if promptly paid, will be accepted as satisfactory reparation, but it does not rest with a prize court to determine what reparatipn should be made or what reparation would be satisfactory to the govefnnie of the United States.
 Time to Act Now.
 Your Excellency states in your note of June z that in the event the prize court should not grant indem- nifty in accordance with treaty re- quirements the German government would not hesitate to arrange for equitable indemnity but it is also nee essary that the governm ent of the United States should be satisfted with the amount of the indemnity, and 1t would seem to be more appropriate and convenient that an arrangement for equitable indemnity should be
