STRIKE OF CHICAGO
STREET CAR MEN NEAR

Chicago June 11.-Belief that a
strike of surface car and elevated rail
road employees is inevitable increased
with the announcement that leaders
of the unions declined to meet com

tion where it was before President
Busby of the surface lines invited
the men to a conference.-the ultima

.BRYAN'S ACTION WILL
NOT AFFECT RESULT

Washington, June l1.-Former Sec
retary Of State Bryan's resignation is
unlikely to affect the German-Amer
ican situation-if expressions from
Germans who have had part in
handling that situation thus far may
be accepted.
The query that many persons are
putting to themselves, Does this
mean war?" is answered in the neg
ative.
Their view is that Bryan left the
cabinet because he could not put his
name to a note that did not embody
his arbitration idea. This. however,
it is felt by Germans, can in no way
affect the present misunderstanding
with Germany, since Germany viii
not commit herself to the arbitration
principle.
1t may be said, explained Germans,
that no arbitration proposal i'm the
present note could make any differ
ence in the German position. Ger
mans say their experience with arbi-
tration proved a failure on the one
important occasion it was tried-be
tween England and Germany-and a
success on the one unimportant oeca-
sion-between France and Germany

Latest German Note Con-
corning Steamer Frye.
REJECTS AMERICAN PLEA
Two Points Made by United States
Alleging Violation of Treaty Rights
Turned Down in Reply From the
kaiser's Government.


Washington, June 11.-Germany's
latest note to the United States on
the sinking of the American sailing
ship William P Frye by the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich makes the fa<reach.
ing claim of a right to destroy any
American vessel carrying contraband,
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
government in its note of April 2S
that prize court proceedings meant
unnecessary delay, all matters con
cerned being susceptible for prompt
settlement through diplomatic chan
nels, and the other was that the de
struction of the Frye was ''unques-
tionably a violation OF the obliga-
tions imposed upon the imperial gov
ernment under existing treaty stipu-
lations 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 5, the right of citizens OF
either country to ship arms and am
munition as well as all other kinds
of contraband in their own vessels
was granted in time of war, but each
party had the right to detain such
eontraband and make payment for il

permit the destruction of a ship

I'm the extreme case be effected by

The effect of Germany's answer, i
its assertions are accepted by th'
