Professor Leo. S. Rowe of the
University of Pennsylvania, who
lectures at Delaware College on
the evening of Monday, May II,

BIG FIRE in CHRISTIANA CONTRIBUTIONS RE-
CEIVED THIS WEEK
Aetna Boys Respond To Call

Fire was discovered this morn
ing about 10.45 in the rear of the
residence of Mr.. George Reed, of
Christiana. The origin of the
blaze is unknown. Mrs. Peters,
the mother of Mrs. Reed, who had
been confined to her bed for eight
years, was carried from the burn
ing building to the home of Mrs.
Arthur Webber nearby. The
house was burned to the ground.
Aside from the piano and a few
article on the first floor the con-
tents of the building were entire
ly destroyed. The residence of
Harrison Whittens and the barn
of Mrs. Hannah M. Chambers,
nearby, were at one time on fire,
and it was feared the blaze would
endanger the entire village. Calls
for help were sent into Newark
and Wilmington. The Newark
company, which was the first to
arrivepn the scene, put the chem
icals INTO immediate action. Re-
lance Fire Company of Whining
ton also fought the flames. No es-
innate of the loss can, at this
time, be given.

Work On Armory Resumed

Work has been started on the
new Armory building at the cor
ner of Academy street and Della
ware avenue, after a delay of sew
eral months. The contract which
was originally awarded to w. H.
Jones & Co., has been transferred
to J. F. Owens of Wilmington.
Mr.. Owens believes the building
can be completed within a month.
Owing to the fact that it has been
standing unroofed during the
winter months, it has been neces-
sary to tear down and rebuild
about ten feet of the wall. Work
men are now repointing the brick
work.

NOTE TO BERLIN
Indemnity for Frye Accepted But
Original Note is Upheld.

A. second note from the United
States to Germany concerning the
sinking of the American ship Wllllam
P. Frye by the commerce raioer
Prinz Eitel Friedrich was dispatched
to Berlin Wednesday. 1t is under
stood it accepts the German propo-
sal to compensate the owners Of the
Frye under the terms of tho old Prus-
sian-American treaties OF 1888 and
1928, regardless of any prize court
decision.
These treaties provide that contra
band belonging to the subjects OF
either party shall not be confscated
bv the other in any case, but may be
detained or used only in considera-
ton Of payment of the full value.
While willing to agree to payment
for the Frye, it is understood tne
United States stands by its original
protest against the destruction OF the
Ship as a violation of international
law, and again denies that the wheat
cargo was contraband. No claim Tor
the cargo was made, however, be-
cause it was sold en- route to Britlsh
dealers. 'i'%-
An effort is said to have been made
in the latest note to narrow the ap-
plication of the old treaties so that
no precedent will be created warrant
ing the lodgment under them in fu-
ture of claims .gainst the American
government under favored nation
clause
