Germany Will Pay for the VIM. p
Frye.-Germany's intention to com
pensate the owners Of the American
ship William P. Frye, sunk on the
high seas with her cargo of wheat by
the commerce raider Prinz Elite
Friedrich, was communicated formal
ly to the United States government
Yesterday. Ambassador Gerard cabl.
ed a note handed him by the Berlin
foreign office in reply to the recen,
American communication submitting
an indemnity claim OF $228,059.54 or
behalf Of the Frye's owners The Tor
eign office upholds the legality under
international law of the raiders ac-
ton in sinking the Frye and bases
the liability of the German govern
ment to pay indemnity solely on the
old Prussian-Amcrican treaties OF
1899 and 1928, which provide that
c%ontraband belonging to the subjects
or citizens Of either party cannot be
confiscated by the other and may be
detained or used only in consideration
Of payment of the full value.
In view Of this situation. the note
says, the American owners must be
compensated for their loss. 1t Is
pointed out, however, that the case
must go to a prize court that ques-
tionS of ownership, cargo and destlna-
ton may be e 'lished formally.
The German ;ition is that the
Frye's cargo { Iheat was contra.
band because a, was consigned "for
orders" to Queenstown, which is de.
clared to be a fortified port of Great
Britain. No notice is taken Of the
fact that. since the wheat was sold en-
route to British citizens, the United
States filed a claim for the vessel
only.
officials here were somewhat sur
prised at the nature of the German
note. because of the bearing it may
have on negotiations between Wash.
ington and London over the allies
blockade of Germany and Austria. The
United States has insisted that upor
the belligerent selling a cargo con-
signed ito order" rested the burden OF
proof thai the goods were destined
for armed forces of an enemy.
The German note was dated April
4, one day after Ambassador Gerard
presented the request for indemnity.

Secretary Bryan on Wednesday
night, made public a letter he had
written to L. w. Remington, Demo-
cratic national committeeman from
Iowa, expressing the hope that Iowa
Democrats would take a stand fol-
prohibition and vote against officials
who could be controlled by the liquor
interests. In a statement given out
with the letter, Mr.. Bryan said he
hoped to see the Democratic party take
the prohibition side wherever the
question was raised and that if the
liquor interest insisted on making an
issue in the selection Of a national
committeeman, the people opposed to
the liquor traffic could not afford to
ignore it. Il do not know to what ex-
tent the liquor question will be an
issue in the campaign next year." Mr.
Bryan added. AT the present time
it does not seem probable that it will
find a place in the platform Of either
the Democratic or the Republican
party, but there is no reason why the
national committeeman should not
represent the sentiment Of the party
on this subject as on other subjects"
Mr.. Remington had written Mr.. Bryan
that his name was being used in be-
half Of a candidate for the national
committee.

ENGLAND FEELS PINCH.
Letters and Papers Show Growing
Food Scarcity.

Food Scarcity.
From present indications 1t looks as
though food strength rather thar
fighting strength would be the test OF
England's endurance in the present
war. Letters and papers from England
show that the pressure is TO
be felt, although not so strongly as II
is expected it will be later, says the
Washington Star. There is nothing
approaching an exodus from town" =
that is to say, London, for London IS
always town to the E~nglishman; at
the same time there is marked falling
off in general activity, and the TO let
list of house agents Is larger than
is usual at this season in the year.
For instance, down in the Westminster
region, furnished flats which previous
ly commanded $25 a month, are now
quoted at $23. The same Is true all
over town, and houses in the suburbs
which formerly rented for 80 pounds
a wear, exclusive of rates and taxes
can now be had for rs pounds. In the
rents have fallen OF even
more, and many Of the estates hat Tor
merly had failed to make any money
off their game have turned to n mar
ket as a source Of income. .
The immense Salisbury estate at
WIllCu ia iOh6 bSSh
the show places in England, and which
has kept it's herd Of deer chiefly Tor
ornament, has now imported an agent,
who is making a speciality OF breeding
them for venison and supplying as
many as can be spared for the london
market. To mention some Of the spe-
cifc instances, the Earl Of Portsmouth
in Sussex, who always has been q pur-
yeyor of all sorts Of farm products,
has gone in more than ever for chick,
ems and venison.
On the ~neighboring estate OF Melville
Portal, where there are no deer kept,
but where there is a famous trout
stream, the fish are being more r
fully preserved than ever and sent reg
ularly to the market. The same prob
ably is true all over England, because
the Smithfield market in London Is
more stocked with venison and game
than ever before, and all country es-
tates where there ire game birds, fish
and venison are turning their attention
more and more to breeding for the
markets.
London at night is still as dark as 1t
was in the earlier days Of the war.
Street lamps and electric signs being
interdicted on ccount or max
ing too attractive q mark for overhead
All the Thames embankment
lights have been forbidden by police
order, and the immense electric roof
light of the Olympia have also been
put out.
The incoming supply Of foodstuffs
abroad has been interfered with
considerably by the activity Of the
German submarines. At the same time
Norway and Sweden are taking q
chance of supplying butter and dairy
to England as heretofore, and
there are comparatively few reports OF
these shipments having met with dis
aster. The shipments Of meat from
South America continue, but are more
on account Of the increase
in freight rates. Foodstuffs from Ar
gentina, which formerly were laid
down in London for 81 a ton freight,
are now quoted at $12.

- Prospects of the contemplated
wheat crop planted last fall in great
est acreage in the country's history
are that 6l9, 900, 900 bushels would be
produced. This estimate was issued
by the agricultural department We'd
nesday based on crop conditions on
April j. The crop reporting board is
sued this statement: THE par, OF 100
per cent normal condition, of wheat
on April l may be regarded as ap-
proximately to 1879 bushels per acre
planted: hence a condition of SS.S per
cent would indicate $50 bushels.
which, on the Al, 3 600 acres plant
ed, would give a total production of
GIG. 600. 900. as compared with a final
estimate of SS4, $4,000 last year, 523,-
$4,000 two years ago, 399,919,OOO
three years ago, and 43O,656,000 four
years ago. In forecasting this guam
tity of 619. 600, 900 bushels, it should
be considered as the amount of which
the probability is about equal that the
out turn will he above or below II: ac-

''Best Fire Medicine"

About q year ago., I accepted the
agency Of the Pyrene Fire Extin-
guisher for York county, and a%nnounc-
ed the fact in an advertisement in The
Enquirer, and explained what the ex-
tinguisher would do, and also ANNOUNCE
ed that the insurance rate on all au-
tomobiles carrying Pyrenes would be
reduced Is per cent, but to my sur
prise, sold comparatively few, and
quite naturally, ! think, came to the
conclusion that owners Of burnable
property either doubted the claims
made for the Pyrene as a fire ex-
tinguisher or attached no importance
to being in position to extinguish
Fincipent fires. I sold two Pyrenes to
the Glover Cotton Manufacturing Co.
They were installed in the picker
room. Following unsolicited letter
was received March 20, from Mr.. M.
L. Smith, treasurer and general man
ager Of the company:
Glover, 8. c., March 20, 1916.
Mr.. Sam NJ. Grist, Yorkvhle, 8. G.
Dear Sir: Please send us six cans
Pyrene. This Is the best medicine for
a fire we have ever used. We often
have fires in our picker room, and
have never used hose since we put in
Pyrenes. Yours respectfully,
M. L. Smith. Treas.
You may see the day when you
would gladly pay 800 for the use of
a Pyrene Extinguisher for three min
utes, and won't be able to get It. Like
Insurance, it cannot be bought II you
wait until you need It. Those who
buy in anticipation Of the need, get
them for $500.
