Of the damage caused and the extent
OF It are not specified by the Val

For the most part last night and
to-day have been calm. The Germans
have delivered attacks east OF Metzeral'
in Alsace, but have failed to renew tho
attacks Of last night at the Calonne
trench on the heights of the Meuse.
which brought them some success.
The night communicate was as follows:
The day was relatively ain on
the entire front. The artillery battle
north OF the Souchez-Neuvllle line and
at R%oclincourt continued Arris was
bomha rded by heavy gu,is.
Between the Disc and the Aisne the

advantage.
In the Argonne and on the heights

pecuniary loss sustained. and the
Government of the United States
takes this opportunity TO assure the
Imperial German Government that
such indemnity. IL promptly paid. will
be accepted as satisfactory repara-
ton. but 1t does not rest with the
prize our TO determine what repara-
ton should be made or what repara-
ton would be satisfactory to the
Government OF the United States.
Your Excellency states in your note
Of June I that in the event the prize
court should not grant indemnity in
accordance with the treaty require
ments the German Government would
not hesitate TO arrange for equitable
indemnity. u ii is also necessary that
the Government OF the United States
should be satisfied with the amount OF
the indemnity. which should he agreed
upon now rather thar later. The de-
c.sion OF the prize court. even on the
question of the amount of indemnity
10 be paid. would not be binding or
conclusive on the Government OF the
United states.
The Government OF the United
States also dlssents from the view ex-
pressed in your note that there
would be no foundation for a claim
VI int american government unless
the prize courts should not grant in
demnlty in accordance with the
treaty" The claim presented by the
American Government is for an in
demnity for a violation of a treaty.
in distinction from an indemnity in
accordance with the treaty. and there
fore Is a matter for adjustment by
direct diplomatic discussion between
the two Governments, n is in no way
dependent upon the action OF a Ger
man prize court.
For the reasons above stated the
Government of the United States can
not recognize the propriety of sub
hitting the claim presented by II on
behalf OF the owners and captain OF
the Frye to the German prize court
for settlement.
The Government OF the United
States Is not concerned with any
proceedings which the Imperial Ger
man Government may wish to take on
other claims Of neutral and enemy
interested parties" which have not
been presented by the Government Of
the United States. but which you
state in your note OF June Z. make
prize court proceedings in this case
Indispensable, and II does not per-
ceive the necessity for postponing
the settlement of the present claim
pending the consideration of those
other claims by the prize court.
The Government of the United
States therefore suggests that the I'm
perlal German Government recon-
slider the subject in the light OF these
considerations. and because OF the
objections against resorting 10 the
prize court the Government OF the
United States renews it's former sug-
gestion that an effort be made 10
settle this claim by direct diplomatic
negotiations. LANSING.

escaped from the internment camp at
Wakefield. England, a month ago.
According to the story. after the two
men escaped from the camp they spent
some days wandering about England.

II seems clear to the Government
OF the United States. therefore. that
whether the cargo OF the Frye is re-
garded as c~ontraband or as non-con-
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 stipulations between
the United States and Prussia"
For these reasons the Government
OF the United States must disagree
with the contention, which It under
stands is now made by the Imperial
German Government. that an Ameri-
can vessel carrying contraband may
be destroyed without liability or ac-
countablllty beyond the payment of
such compensation for damages as
may be fixed by a German prize court.
The issue thus presented arises on a
disputed Interpretation OF treaty pro-
visions. the settlement of which re-
quires direct diplomatic discussion
between the two Governments and cam
not properly be based upon the de-
clslon or the German prize court,
which is In no way conclusive or bind
ING upon the Government OF the United
States.
Moreover, even If no disputed ques-
ton OF treaty Interpretation was in

German Government Of its liability
Tor damages for sinking the vessel
would seem TO make 1t Unnecessary 50
