Asks Protection of Passengers
Aboard American Ships De-
creed for Destruction.
|SMALL BOATS NOT RATED
SUFFICIENT FOR SAFETY
Cites Treaty Relating to Contraband
Trafic-Accepts German Sug-
gestion of Commission.

The United States, in note
dispatched to Germany today to
be presented by Ambassador Ger
ard on the case of the American
ship William P. Frye, asks thai
if it is found necessary to de
stroy American ships carrying
absolute contraband, passengers
and crew be removed to a safer
place than small boats.
The American government accepts the
German suggestion in reply to the
American proposal concerning a com
mission to fix damages for the Frye
agreeing to dispense with the umpire
and leave the case to two experts, one
from each country.
Rights Under Treaty of 1928.
In agreeing to submit to arbitration
the Interpretation of the treaty of 1925
to determine whether it gives Germany
the right to destroy American ships in
order to stop contraband traffic, the
American government holds that not
only must warning be given and pas
sengers and. crews saved. but that
small boats are not considered place
of safety" within the meaning of inter.
national law.
The United States has not insisted
upon this heretofore with reference to
Americans travelling on ships under a
belligerent flag. Officials here, how
ever. feel that the treaty was a special
arrangement between Germany and the
United States expressly drawn for the
purpose Of protecting the vessels and
lives Of subjects Of either party in war
time.
Specific Provision Cited.
. Since one Of the articles of the treaty
Specifically provides for the delivery
of contraband out Of the cargo of an
American ship and then states that the
vessel can proceed to Its destination. the
American government draws the infsr-
ence that 1t was never intended that
American vessels should be destroyed.
Germany has drawn the opposite in
ASASsASSe SshoI thAC bOAS OOJCCt VI Tic
treaty was to prevent contraband from
reaching the enemy and that destruc-
tion was permissible ii no other means
presented ITSELF
In consenting to arbitrate this point
however. the American government is in.
sisting that the minimum Of injury shall
fall upon American citizens and believes
that an assurance with reference to the
safety Of passengers and crew of Ameri.
can ships carrying absolute contraband
will sufficiently safeguard American
interests.
Discusses Conditional Contraband.
Germany already has given the as
surance that american vessels carry.
ing conditional contraband will not be
molested under any circumstances. but
according to recent declarations by
Germany. in retaliation for British dec
larations Of centraband. practically
everything that hitherto was con-
ditlional contraband Is now considered
absolute contraband.

RADICAL TALK OF QUITTING BIG

Mini will 60 to the mat to retain bases

The lllini hold that the universitiea
as individuals may abolish baseballt
but that 1t is going too far to legislattI
the sport out OF existence.
Coach Stage of the Maroons explains
ed how the abolishing of baseball is
expected to uphold amateurism in coy

abanding the game colleges would
cease to have an attraction for men
interested primarily In that oHs

their studies and other sports. Isl
