TREATY OF 1928 PERMITS
SINKING OF SHIP CAR
RYlNG coNTRARAND.
BERLIN REJECTS POINTS
MADE BY UNITED STATES
Denies Statement That Prize Court
Proceedings Mean Unnecessary De-
lay and That the Destruction of
The Frye Was "unquestionably
q Violation of Obligations"

Washington, June t1.-Germany's
latest note to the United States on
the sinking of the American sailing
ship William p. Frye by the Prinz
Eitei Friedrich, received here, makes
the far-reachine claim of a right to
destroy merican vessel carrying
c~ontraband, while agreeing to pay
damages for the act.
TWO points made by the United
States are rejected by Germany. One
was the statement tot the American
government in it's note tof April %,
that prize court proceedings meant un-
necessary delay, all matters concerned
being susceptible for prompt settle
ment through diplomatic channels.
The other was that the destruction
of the Frye was ''unquestionably a VIC
lation of the obligation imposed upon
the imperial government under exist
ing treaty stipulations between the
United States and Prussia" /,
Admits Force OF Treaty.
Under the Prussian-American treaty
of 1928, the binding force of which
was admitted by Germany in it's note
of April 5, the right of citizens OF
either country to ship arms and ammu-
milton as. swell as all other kinds of con-
traband in their own vessels was grant
ed in time of war. but each party had
the right to detain such contraband
and make payment for ii If confs'
Gated.
The note from Germany enlarges
upon the treaty of 1928 by claiming
that while the treaty did not SPECIFICALLY
permit the destruction of a ship, new
ertheless it's contraband could not bt
stopped in any other way, it could il
the extreme case be effected by thu
destruction OF the contraband and O
the ship carrying it,"
Effect of Answer.
The effect of Germany's answer, |
it's assertions are accepted by the Unit
ed States, would be to throw into tn
prize courts for decision all cases o
whether destruction of an American
military necessity.
International law, outside of treat
s%tipulations, has contained many moo
ed cases on that point. While tn
declarations of London established fiji
ally that in case of military uecessit
a ship whose cargo was more tina
half contraband could be destroyed af
er passengers and crew were remove
to a place of safety, the .declaratio
was not ratified by the United State
express notice having been given agai
by the American government to &c
many in the note of April % that tn
declaration was not regarded as
force.

GERMAN PAPERS ARE DIVIDED
FRIENDLY TONE OF AMERICAN
NOTE RECOGNIZED.

viii Go On"

Berlin, via London, June 15.-The
Berlin morning papers generally com
ment more or less extendedly on the
American note along the lines fol-
lowed by the evening papers.
While there is a general disposition
to recognize the friendly tone of the
note and the fact that 1t makes fur
Their negotiations possible, the press is
divided in two parties, one of which
appears disposed to enter into negotia-
tions looking to a compromise on a
new basis, while the other by impli-
cation or expressly, regrets any de-
parture from the course heretofore fol-
lowed. Among the representatives of
the latter is the Tagliche Rundschau,
which declares hat while the note
seeks a way to a compromise, It seeks
it along lines (which must result to
the disadvantage of Germany"
"Torpedoing viii Go On"
The paper continues: The note
therefore is calculated only to post
pone a settlement of German-Ameri-
can relations and not bring it about.
The friendly tone we acknowledge, but
the declaration that the sinking of
the Lusitania was unparalleled in
modern warfare, seems opposed to the
character of upright friendship"
The Runschau defends the sinking
of the Lusitania and in conclusion
declares:
And the watchword is The tor
pedoing will go on"
The KreuZ Zeitung emphasizes Ger
many's right to prevent the shipment
sf ammunition to an enemy by every
! means. 1t also is unable to see whar
England can offer in return for the
abandonment of the submarine cam
