WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 11.-President Will
son today announced that searching inquiry" would
be made into the sinking of the "rican sailing vessel
William H. Frye by the German e"5:, Prinz Eitel
Friedrich now at Newport News, Virs, "~,
The discussion in official quarters is Ia fore
shadow strong protest against the sinking OF YES
sci. The German commander contends that the FreyS
destruction justified because she had contraband of
war aboard but this has been recognized in sim
liar cases by the United States government.
The Frye's wheat cargo, it pointed out, was not
consigned to the British government and therefore was
not contraband
1t is believed that the United States will ask dam
ages and reparation from Germany.
Some official said that the German government must
either repudiate the action of the Eites captain in sink
ing her and pay for the Frye and her cargo withdraw
it's protest to the United States against the British
sumption of the right to seize food cagoes from neutral
countries to civilians in Germany. 1t is believed that
Germany might seek the middle by adopting the
British policy that goods shipped ito order are not en-
titled to the exemption.

May Conduct an Inquiry.

Washington, March 1.-THE arriv-
al of the German converted cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich at Newport News
with the announcement that during
her six months securing of the seas
as a commerce raider she had sent
the bottom one vessel which was
American-owned and flew the flag of
the United States, profoundly stirred
official Washington Wednesday.
In the absence of detailed story of
the sinking of the American ship Will
liam p. Frye off the coast of South
America, judgment was withheld, but
there was no attempt to deny the seri-
business of the incident and it was
conceded that on its face it bore the
appearance of an unfriendly act upon
the part of a German ship of war
which must result in diplomatic nego-
tiations with the German government.
Such information as has come to
official ears at Newport News is in
substance that the Frye was blown
up because the commander of the
Eitel Friedrich held her cargo of
wheat to be contraband. 1t was point
ed out that wheat was not contraband
unless consigned to a belligerent gov
ernment or some agent of such gov
efnment.

The Frye's manifest showed her
bound for Queenstown for orders. -

A great attack has been attempted
against the right bank of the Vistula
at Vvshgorod, above the inflow of the
Bzura. A sudden advance was made
with its strength closely masked. and
it was evidently hoped to find the
opposing position only lightly held.
In the early hours of Monday after
noon, however, the Russian cavalry
were pursuing the Germans up the
north road. The enemy's infantry
lost terribly in the open charges at
tempted during the first hours ad-
vance. They also lost heavily in an
attempt from Kolno.
The Germans are employing for
actual war operations a great portion
of newly enlisted conscirpts who were
expected to be trained inside east
Prussia until spring. They are al
ready urgently required. 1t is be-
lieved that the Germans have lost
over 100000 killed and wounded since
the fighting began in the Mazuran
lakes month ago, which developed
into the present situation.

tern or give reasons for a longer stay
which will be satisfactory to Wash
ington. AS her commander desires to
make repairs, additional time can be
allowed but in view of a preliminary
report by experts who examined the
cruiser today that at least several
months will be required to get her
ready for sea service, it generally was
believed that the only course open for
her was to be interned, and no un-
usual precautions were taken to pre-
vent her leaving American waters.

GOOD ROADS
BILL SAID To
Be A MODEL
SENATE CONSUMED THREE DAYS
IN FRAMING MEASURE A
DEMOCRATIC PIECE OF LEGIS.
lATION.

Oklahoma City, March 1O.-It
there ever existed in the minds of
the people of Oklahoma any doubt as
to the earnestness of the Oklahoma
Legislature upon the subject of good
roads, this doubt would have been
everlastingly eliminated, could the
doubter have occupied a seat in the
senate gallery during the considera-
tion of the good roads bill. Scarcely
sentence of the bill has passed
without some contention and it is
safe to say that mott to exceed o
half dozen out of the entire sixty
two pages of the voluminous bill has
passed without some amendment be-
ing offered.
In all, three days time of the SEN
ate has been consumed in the con-
sideration of this measure, and there
is not a senator from even the most
remote district of the state who has
not at some stage of the proceedings
taken an active part in the final com
pletion of the bill. 1t is Oklahoma's
first good roads law and is a bill
drawn along the lines indicated by
the various good roads conventions
held throughout the state during the
past five years. AS passed by the
senate it embodies particular ideas
of road construction from practically
every senatorial district in the state,
and when the final vote is cast and
the bill sent to the house it will be
admitted by all to be the most demo-
cratic piece of legislation yet passed
by the Fifth legislature.
Copies Ordered Printed.
Five hundred copies Of the bill have
been ordered printed for distribution
to the various county officers and
good roads workers throughout the
state, and even though it should final
ly fail to pass the house and become
law its supporters proclaim their
determination to carry the battle for
good roads to the grass roots and
ask the people to say whether or
not the provisions of this bill which
has been so well considered and so
laboriously compiled shall become
one of the statutory laws of the state.
